Jayson Tatum Scores 11 Points With Defensive Stats

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had another quiet night on Thursday against Philly, scoring just 11 points on an inefficient 4-for-11 from the field.

Jaylen Brown Keeps Scoring on Thursday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown had a decent game against the Sixers on Thursday, hitting two treys to finish with 12 points on 4-for-12 shooting.

Marcus Morris Stays Hot on Thursday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris kept up his hot streak on Thursday, scoring 14 points on 4-for-9 shooting. Morris was decent in the rebounding column, coming up with six boards on the night. He committed three turnovers in the loss, but that seemed to be the theme of the night for both teams. He has […]

Ben Simmons Quiet on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers point guard/forward Ben Simmons failed to hit double digits in any category in the win against the Celtics on Thursday. Simmons flirted with a double-double in this one, finishing with eight points and seven rebounds, but he wasn't able to get it done for owners. Simmons' assist numbers were a little low in […]

Robert Covington Only Scores Five Points in Team-High 40 Minutes

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington is really in a funk and seems to have lost his confidence. Covington only shot the ball five times in Boston, finishing with five points.

Lance Stephenson is Questionable Against Blazers

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Lance Stephenson (illness) is questionable to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday.

Luc Mbah a Moute to Start on Thursday

Houston Rockets forward Luc Mbah a Moute will be inserted into the starting lineup on Thursday for the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Justin Holiday Goes Missing in Loss

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Justin Holiday was never an efficient scorer and Wednesday was no different. The five-year veteran shot just 2-for-12 from the field, both coming from beyond the arc, and provided no defensive stats in the loss against the Golden State Warriors. On the bright side, Holiday does get steady minutes in the small […]

Kevin Durant Takes Back Seat in Win Against Bulls

Golden State Warriors small forward Kevin Durant took on more of a facilitating role in the Warriors 119-112 win over the Bulls. Durant provided 19 points off of 6-for-15 shooting from the field. The 29-year-old superstar could not find the bottom of the net on any of his five attempts from three-point range. He grabbed eight rebounds […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Scores 21 Points in 22 Minutes

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist made the most of his opportunities in a win on Wednesday against Washington. MKG was 8-for-11 in 22 minutes. The minutes shortage was due to Charlotte putting this game out of reach early, scoring 77 points in the first half. After the game, Hornets head coach Steve Clifford said, "[Kidd-Gilchrist] […]

Dillon Brooks Continues To Improve Offensively

Memphis Grizzlies rookie small forward Dillon Brooks has gone through some rough patches from the field at times over the course of his first NBA season, but a second consecutive game in which Brooks efficiently scored in the high-teens suggests he might be coming into his own as a shooter. Brooks scored 17 points in […]

Paul George's Slump Continues

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Paul George didn't have the best night scoring playing the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday. George scored 13 points, going 5-for-14 from the floor, with five of the made shots coming from long range. This was George's fourth straight game scoring less than 20 points in a contest. To further compound […]

DeMarre Carroll Puts up Double-Double Against Spurs

Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll was solid again against the Spurs on Wednesday, scoring 11 points with 10 rebounds to pick up the double-double in the losing effort.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson gets Shut Down by the Spurs

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had a dreadful showing against the Spurs on Wednesday, which included a game-high five turnovers.

Considering most […]

C.J. Miles Plays Season-High 25 Minutes

Toronto Raptors guard/forward CJ Miles was feeling it against Detroit on Wednesday, heating up for 21 points on 7-for-16 shooting with five triples in his 25 minutes.

DeAndre Jordan Out Wednesday As Expected

Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Will Come Off The Bench

New York Knicks shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (rest) will return Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies but will come off the bench.

Trevor Ariza And Gerald Green Suspended Two Games

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (shoulder) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Chicago Bulls.

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 14
