James Harden Sets Up Teammates In Triple-Less Double-Double
A major concern for fantasy managers upon the realization of the Nets' Big 3 was that one of the trio would be left out when it came to their usual monster fantasy production. During Saturday's win over the Heat, that member was James Harden, even though he finished the contest with 12 points, 11 assists, […]
Wayne Ellington Paces Team With 17 Points
Detroit Pistons guard Wayne Ellington finished Saturday's loss to the 76ers with 17 points, four rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 28 minutes. Ellington has been averaging 11.4 points per game this season but has quietly put together a good stretch of recent play. The 33-year-old has scored at least 16 points in the […]

San Antonio Lists Dejounte Murray As Questionable For Sunday
San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Dejounte Murray (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Washington after he departed Friday's contest early with a sprained left ankle. Murray's absence funneled considerable minutes toward Patty Mills, which would figure to be the case again Sunday should Murray be unavailable. Check back to get the […]
Victor Oladipo, Christian Wood Ruled Out For Saturday
Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Victor Oladipo (quad) and power forward/center Christian Wood (ankle) will miss Saturday's game versus Dallas, leaving a sizable offensive void. For Wood, it marks his second consecutive absence with a sprained right ankle, which should allow DeMarcus Cousins to make another start and see considerable DFS upside. While the team […]
Devin Booker Ruled Out Versus Nuggets
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He exited late during Friday's overtime contest due to a left hamstring strain. The severity of the injury is unknown right now, but Booker will miss at least one game. Jevon Carter, Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson will […]
Norman Powell Plays Well Against Heat
Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell finished with 23 points, three rebounds, two steals and one turnover on 10 of 18 shooting from the field and three of 10 from three-point range in Friday's 101-81 victory against the Heat.

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden finished with 19 points, 11 assists, five rebounds and three turnovers on six of 14 shooting from the field and four of nine from three-point range in Friday's 125-113 loss against the Cavaliers.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Delivers Third 30-Point Game
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander bounced back nicely from a quiet offensive outing in his last game. Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 points for the third time this season, shooting an efficient 11 of 20 from the field. He's been excellent as a distributor lately, with at least seven assists in each of his last three […]
Devin Booker Scores 31 Points, Leaves Late With Injury
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) had another strong outing in Friday's overtime loss to the Nuggets, though he also had to leave late with a hamstring injury.

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward DeMar DeRozan had another rough performance from the field in Friday's matchup with the Mavs, but he shot 13-for-16 from the line to finish with a team-high 29 points. He went 8-for-20 from the floor to record his fourth game in the past five outings with 40 percent or worse shooting. […]
Anthony Edwards Continues Offensive Rough Patch In Loss
Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Anthony Edwards was once again held in check offensively during Friday's defeat to the Hawks, shooting just 2-for-12 from the field with five points. Edwards has been flummoxed over his past five outings, shooting 19.6 percent overall, while failing to affect the game in other facets. The blowout nature of […]
Jaylen Brown Matches Season-High With 42 Points
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown matched his season-high in points during Friday's loss to the 76ers. Brown dropped 42 points and narrowly missed out on a double-double, as he had nine rebounds. He was inefficient in his last outing, particularly from deep, though he made up for it with 5 of 8 shooting from downtown […]
Wayne Ellington Sinks Six Triples Against Rockets
Detroit Pistons shooting guard Wayne Ellington demonstrated some great three-point shooting in Friday's loss to the Rockets, going 6-for-10 from downtown en route to 18 points. Jerami Grant finished with a game-high 21 points but he had a tough offensive night with 5-for-14 shooting, so the Pistons really needed for others to step up. That's […]
Zach LaVine Pours In 25 Points
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine recorded 25 points, six rebounds, nine assists, one block, and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's win over the Hornets. LaVine has been absolutely sensational recently as he has scored at least 32 points in five of the past seven games. The 25-year-old is pacing the Bulls with 27.4 […]
Eric Gordon Scores Team-High 20 Points
Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon finished Friday's narrow 103-102 win over Detroit with a team-high 20 points on 6-for-15 shooting.

Darius Garland Will Come Off The Bench Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (shoulder) will play and come off the bench Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. Garland's return was imminent as he had several last-minute scratches before Friday, but will not see a return to the starting lineup just yet. The Cavaliers are likely being very cautious with the young guard and Garland […]
De'Andre Hunter And Cam Reddish Playing Friday
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) and guard Cam Reddish (knee) are active against the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday. Both Hunter and Reddish missed Wednesday's game and were questionable coming into Friday. It appears Hunter is fully healed as he does not have any minutes restrictions in this one. Reddish, on the other hand, has a […]
Tyler Herro Out The Next Three Games
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (neck) will not play Friday against the Toronto Raptors and will miss the rest of the team's road trip. Herro has been sidelined for almost a week with neck spasms and seems like the injury is more serious than originally thought. With Herro out, Gabe Vincent will most likely get […]
Kevin Porter Jr. Dealt To Rockets
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr. has reportedly been traded to the Houston Rockets. In exchange, the Cavs will receive a protected second-round pick for the young guard. Porter's off-the-court drama was too much for the Cavs, so they decided to move on. This trade won't do much for Porter's fantasy value. He'll continue to […]
Donovan Mitchell Drops Season-High 36 Points
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell scored a season-high 36 points with seven rebounds, six triples, five assists, and a block in a 129-118 win over the Pelicans.

New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward RJ Barrett may have snapped his double-double streak at two contests Thursday, but he responded by pouring in a career-high 28 points during a victory over the Warriors. Barrett's shooting percentages haven't been kind this year, but he shot 10-for-17 overall against Golden State, including 2-for-3 from behind the […]
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Drops Season-High 23 Points
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope compiled a season-high 23 points along with three rebounds and one block in 27 minutes during Thursday's win over the Bucks.

Seth Curry Listed As Probable Against Boston
Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry is listed as probable to play Friday night against the Boston Celtics. Curry missed Wednesday against Boston despite not being listed on the injury report. The team reported Curry's conditioning was not up to speed after sitting due to COVID-19, which explains the unexpected absence. Curry will likely rejoin the starting […]
LeBron James And Anthony Davis Starting Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward LeBron James (ankle) and forward/center Anthony Davis (ankle) are playing and starting Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Both James and Davis have been listed on most, if not all, injury reports this season, but have been in no real danger of missing the contests. Expect James and Davis to see their […]
De'Andre Hunter And Cam Reddish Questionable Friday Night
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) and guard Cam Reddish (knee) are both questionable Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Both Hunter and Reddish missed Wednesday's win over the Detroit Pistons with knee issues and are probably closer to game-time decisions for Friday. If they both sit again, Kevin Huerter and Solomon Hill will likely get […]
Alec Burks Probable To Play Thursday
New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (ankle) is listed as probable Thursday night against the Golden State Warriors. Burks has been out a few weeks after dealing with an ankle sprain, but stated he feels great and is expected to play. The tail end of his absences were due to conditioning so Burks should not […]
Garrett Temple Returns To Practice
Chicago Bulls guard Garrett Temple (ankle) was able to fully participate in Thursday's practice. He was limited on Wednesday, but it sounds like Temple is trending in the right direction. Patrick Williams (hip) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Temple could be in line for another start and hold […]
