Andrew Wiggins Was Less Than Stellar
Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins didn't have the best of performances Tuesday night against the Orlando Magic. Wiggins scored just nine points, going 4-for-12 from the field with four assists and four rebounds. This was Wiggins' first game since Dec. 20 without scoring in double figures. In the previous 10 games before Tuesday, Wiggins […]
Jayson Tatum Quiet Against the Pelicans
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum had the rare quiet game on Tuesday against New Orleans, scoring just 10 points in his 26 minutes. Tatum also added five rebounds and two assists while chipping in one block as well. The rookie doesn't typically look like a rookie, but he did in this one. We expect Tatum […]
Jaylen Brown Scores 16 Points Against the Pelicans
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown played well against the Pelicans on Tuesday but couldn't come through in the clutch for his team. Brown had a pretty complete game, finishing with 16 points on 7-for-14 shooting, including two makes from deep. He was active elsewhere as well, piling up four rebounds and five assists in his […]
Marcus Morris Plays Well Again on Tuesday
Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris had another encouraging performance against the Pelicans, scoring 12 points in his 24 minutes, including one three-pointer. Morris is coming off of a 19-point and eight-board performance in London, England, and while he didn't shoot the ball great on Tuesday (5-for-13), this wasn't a bad game by any means. He […]
Thabo Sefolosha Will Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

Brandon Ingram is Questionable Against OKC
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) is listed as questionable to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.

Over the last four games, […]

Trevor Ariza Scores 17 Points, Gets Ejected
Houston Rockets small forward Trevor Ariza scored 17 points on 5-for-11 shooting on Monday night as the Rockets lost a chippy game to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Kevin Durant Leads Starters With 32 Points In Win Over Cavaliers
Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant tied LeBron James with a game-high 32 points while also tying Stephen Curry with another game-high eight assists.

Luc Richard Mbah A Moute Active Monday Night
Houston Rockets forward Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (shoulder) will return Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers after missing a month with a shoulder injury. The Rockets will likely ease Mbah a Moute back into game action due to the lengthy absence, but a minutes restriction has not been officially reported. Mbah a Moute's […]

Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday night's contest against the Houston Rockets and will miss more time.

Kelly Olynyk Big Off The Bench
Miami Heat forward/center Kelly Olynyk has been coming off the pine lately but showed up Monday against the Chicago Bulls.

Josh Richardson Stuffs The Stat Sheet
Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson did a little bit of everything Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Richardson contributed 11 points, six assists, five rebounds, three three-pointers, two steals and two blocks in 32 minutes. Rook 2, as Dwyane Wade used to call him, has been creeping into the coveted 1-1-1 group of fantasy players that […]
Kelly Oubre Jr. Pours Out 19 Points Off The Bench
Washington Wizards small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has been a scoring machine off the bench lately. Oubre scored 19 points on 5-for-9 shooting with five rebounds, three three-pointers and a block in 35 minutes. Oubre has put together a nice string of performances, scoring in double digits in the past five games and shooting 55.3 […]
Michael Beasley Powers Knicks Past Rival Nets
New York Knicks small forward Michael Beasley, the self-proclaimed left-handed Melo, played like him in the Martin Luther King Day matinee in Brooklyn, scoring 23 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and nabbing two blocks. Beasley’s double-double was a driving factor in Monday’s result. Lately, Beasley has been one of the more consistent players for the Knicks, […]
Justin Holiday Efficient From Three In Win Over Heat
Chicago Bulls forward Justin Holiday had an excellent shooting performance, hitting seven of his 11 threes. Holiday finished with 25 points and four rebounds, but this game was all about the emergence of Zach LaVine in just his second game in a Bulls uniform. Holiday played his usual number of minutes, but the scoring continues to […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo Double-Doubles In Win Over Wizards
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was the center of the Milwaukee offense once again and benefitted from poor shooting performances from the rest of the Bucks. Even though Antetokounmpo led the team in points and rebounds, it was a slower night for both teams and there was no real offense until late in the game. […]
Tobias Harris’ Hot Start Is Cooled Off By Foul Trouble
Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris started off the game by scoring eight of the Pistons first 12 points but was limited due to foul trouble. He didn’t get much run until late in the game, but Harris has still been a top offensive option for the Pistons, and that will not change going forward. He […]
Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out On Monday
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Kawhi Leonard (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Leonard's shoulder seemed fine in Saturday's contest, but now he's being bothered by a quad issue. This quad problem has been a lingering issue since the offseason. Monday's contest against the Hawks should be an easy win […]
Jayson Tatum Probable for Tuesday
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) is probable to play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday. The good news is Tatum's test results came back fine, so it's not a long-term issue. Tatum is dealing with a minor knee tweak and went through most of Monday's practice. He should be able to play on […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. Ruled Out on Monday
New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (rest) will not play against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.
