Marcus Morris Ruled Out Friday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris (knee) is listed as out against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. He's working his way back from a lingering knee issue, so the team continues to limit his workload. Friday is the front end of a back-to-back set, so Morris should return against the Nets on Saturday. On Wednesday, Morris […]

Paul George Dumps 31 Points On Clippers

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George continued his impressive play, this time it was in the win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night. Paul dropped 31 points, shooting an accurate 12-for-16 from the field and 5-for-8 from behind the arc. Paul continues to put up impressive numbers, especially from deep, where he is […]

Omri Casspi Out Thursday

Golden State Warriors small forward Omri Casspi (back) will miss his second straight game Thursday night against the Houston Rockets. Casspi was in line for big minutes with Kevin Durant (calf) already ruled out, but a strained lower back will keep Casspi out again. With their two top small forwards out Thursday, the Warriors will […]

Omri Casspi is Questionable Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Omri Casspi (back) is considered questionable to play against the Houston Rockets on Thursday. He was held out on Wednesday, but the Warriors will need him with Kevin Durant (calf) sidelined Thursday. Casspi has started for Durant in the past, so there is a good chance he does again if he's […]

Kevin Durant Ruled Out Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant (calf) will not play against the Houston Rockets on Thursday. He's dealing with a right calf strain that he suffered during the first quarter of Wednesday's game. Durant still played 38 minutes, recording 25 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and four blocks. The Warriors are likely just being cautious since it's […]

Justise Winslow Ruled Out Friday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (knee) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. The good news is Winslow did return to practice on Thursday. It was non-contact work but a good sign moving forward. Winslow hasn't played since Dec. 13, but there is a chance he returns next week. There […]

Stanley Johnson is Doubtful for Friday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Stanley Johnson (hip) is considered doubtful to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. He's still not practicing and is on the verge of missing his third straight game. He's averaging 7.5 points, 3.7 boards and 1.2 steals per game on 35.3 percent shooting, so he wasn't a good fantasy option even […]

Austin Rivers is Questionable on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Austin Rivers (Achilles) is questionable to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. Rivers has been working out the past couple of days and dealt with discomfort in his foot. Head coach Doc Rivers is considering sending him to another physician to get Rivers re-evaluated. The Clippers listed Rivers as questionable […]

Gary Harris Ties Career High With 36 Points

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Gary Harris had an incredibly hot shooting night in a win over the Phoenix Suns. He tied his career high of 36 points on an insanely efficient 14-for-17 shooting and also sunk all five of his free throws. Harris also added three assists, three three-pointers and two steals to round out […]

Jimmy Butler Scores 30 Points In Loss

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jimmy Butler had another big scoring night in a close loss to the Brooklyn Nets. He scored 30 points with four assists, two steals, and a block. Butler was in attack mode all night and drew plenty of fouls. He ended the night going 16-for-18 from the free-throw line and took more […]

LeBron James Scores Only 19 Points Against Boston

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James played below-average against Kyrie Irving and the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. James scored only 19 points on 8-for-15 from the field. He chipped in slightly elsewhere by pulling down seven boards and dishing out six assists but had ball-security issues, turning it over four times in the loss. To be […]

Wesley Matthews Knocks Down Seven Treys in Thriller Against Warriors

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews shot lights-out on Wednesday, scoring 22 points on 7-for-11 shooting to go along with his five rebounds, four assists and seven treys in a loss to the Golden State Warriors. Matthews was incredibly clutch, knocking down some crucial three-pointers before guard Stephen Curry knocked down a game-winning three-point shot. […]

Michael Beasley Keeps Scoring on Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Michael Beasley kept shooting against the Wizards, scoring a team-high 20 points on 8-for-14 from the field off the bench. Beasley is hot right now and isn't just scoring the ball either, as he pulled down nine rebounds in this one. Even more impressive was his defense on Wednesday, racking up […]

Doug McDermott Scores an Ugly 10 Points

New York Knicks guard/forward Doug McDermott had a lukewarm performance on Wednesday against the Wizards, scoring 10 points on an inefficient 3-for-8 shooting, with only one make from deep. McDermott did nothing else other than grab three rebounds, but he isn't really expected to be more than a one-dimensional player, anyway. Dougy McBuckets is solely […]

Jayson Tatum Gets It Done Against Cleveland

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum got back in the groove on Wednesday against the Cavs, scoring 15 points on 6-for-14 shooting with one make from deep. Tatum rebounded the ball fairly well and went away with five in his team-high 30 minutes. He had no defensive stats in this one but didn't commit any turnovers […]

Jaylen Brown Busy on Wednesday Night

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown stayed hot against Cleveland after his strong return on Sunday. Though he was only 1-for-6 from deep, he finished with 14 points and was also cleaning the glass, going home with eight rebounds for his best efforts. Brown was looking for his teammates on Wednesday, too, connecting with them on […]

Josh Richardson Continues Stellar Play

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson continued his impressive streak in the win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. Richardson scored 20 points, shooting 5-for-7 from the three-point line, to go along with five assists, a steal and a block in a team-high 38 minutes. The Heat always loved Richardson for his above-average defense. However, […]

Kelly Olynyk Dominant in Win

Miami Heat forward/center Kelly Olynyk could not be stopped in Wednesday night's win over the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons, playing without starting center Andre Drummond, had no answer for Olynyk as he scored 25 points on 11-for-15 shooting to go along with 13 rebounds. Olynyk was expected to have his role reduced in the return […]

James Johnson Says He Will Play

Miami Heat forward James Johnson (ankle) stated he will play in Wednesday night's game against the Detroit Pistons. Miami has yet to give an official ruling for Johnson, but he seems ready to return from his three-game absence. Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra already named Kelly Olynyk starting power forward, so Johnson will most likely […]

Caris LeVert is Out on Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Caris LeVert (groin) will not play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. This will mark the first game of the season that LeVert has been inactive. Sadly, it's coming when he's the hottest, averaging 16.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 8.3 assists over his last four contests. Allen Crabbe, Joe Harris, and Nik […]

Will Barton Questionable Against Suns

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton (illness) is considered questionable to play versus the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. Lately, Barton has been dealing with a back issue, but he popped up on the injury report Wednesday due to illness. Gary Harris and Jamal Murray have seen their production and usage rates increase in games without Barton. […]

Draymond Green Questionable Versus Mavs

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (ankle) is considered questionable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. He tweaked his ankle during Tuesday's practice, but is likely headed towards a game-time decision. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, but against the 13-win Mavs, the Warriors may elect to rest Green and let […]

Kyle Kuzma is Available Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (quadriceps) is available to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. He's been dealing with a lingering quad issue since last week but has yet to miss any time on the court. After an incredible start to the season, Kuzma has come back down to earth. Over the […]

Andre Iguodala Out On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala (back) will not play against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so it's not surprising to see Iggy on the sidelines against the 13-win Mavericks. Omri Casspi (back) will get the night off as well, but both are expected to be able […]

Danny Green Ruled Out Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Danny Green (groin) will not play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Kawhi Leonard (rest) and Tony Parker (rest) will also be on the sidelines, but Green is dealing with an actual injury. Head coach Gregg Popovich hinted after Tuesday's victory that Green could be "shut down for a while." With […]

Stanley Johnson Ruled Out Against Heat

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Stanley Johnson (hip) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Miami Heat. This will be Johnson's second straight game on the sidelines. That means more minutes for both Luke Kennard and Reggie Bullock. Both have been playing well lately but could see reduced roles with Avery Bradley returning from injury. […]

James Johnson Questionable Against Pistons

Miami Heat forward James Johnson (ankle) is questionable to play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. Johnson was a full participant at shootaround and is likely headed towards a game-time decision. He's missed six of the last seven contests due to an ankle issue. Making it through shootaround is a good sign that he'll be […]

Nikola Mirotic is Probable on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic (ribs) is probable to play against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. He was listed as questionable in the game notes but has now been upgraded to probable. It's always tough to trust the game notes, so owners will need to wait until head coach Fred Hoiberg addresses the media prior […]

Kent Bazemore Delivers 20 Points Against Phoenix

Atlanta Hawks forward Kent Bazemore exceeded expectations against the Suns on Tuesday night. Bazemore had 20 points on an accurate 7-for-8 from the field and 4-for-5 from deep. He contributed in other areas slightly but had ball-control issues, turning it over five times in the narrow loss. Though he is a solid player for the […]

Taurean Prince Has a Night to Forget

Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince played horrendously in the loss to the Phoenix Suns. Prince shot 2-for-14 from the field, coming away with only nine points, and was also cold from behind the arc, going 1-for-7 on the night. Though he is outperforming his numbers from last season by far, his inconsistent nature is enough […]
