Marcus Smart Effective Off The Bench In Victory

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart was the main contributor off of the Celtics bench in Saturday's 135-115 win over the Spurs — totalling 16 points, three rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 25 minutes of action. With the unfortunate news regarding Gordon Hayward's fractured hand, Smart will likely enter the starting lineup to fill […]

DeMar DeRozan Scores Team-High 22 Points In Loss

J.J. Redick Makes It Rain From Three-Point Range

New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick had his best outing of the season on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. Redick went 6-for-13 from the floor, with five of those made buckets coming from long-range, leading to the veteran recording 22 points in the contest. This is hopefully a sign of things to come for Redick, […]

Shabazz Napier Unlikely To Suit Up Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Shabazz Napier has been deemed doubtful to play in Sunday’s game against the Denver Nuggets due to a strained right hamstring.

Hassan Whiteside, Rodney Hood Both Questionable For Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside and shooting guard/small forward Rodney Hood have both been tagged as questionable to play in Sunday’s contest against the Atlanta Hawks.

J.J. Redick Jumps Into Starting Five

New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick will join the starting five for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Redick has been awful this season, but will start in place of Lonzo Ball (groin) on Saturday. Josh Hart, Frank Jackson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker are all better fantasy options than Redick. Hart is the best bet for […]

Eric Gordon Will Play Against Bulls

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (hamstring) will suit up for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Gordon was listed as questionable going in after missing Wednesday's contest. He'll be out there on Saturday, but Gordon has been awful this season. Danuel House is a better fantasy option right now.

Jeremy Lamb Won't Play Against Magic

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. He suffered a sprained left ankle on Tuesday and missing Sunday's game will mark his third straight game sidelined. Aaron Holiday has started the last two games and is worth a look in DFS contests without Lamb available.

Norman Powell Steps Up With 18 Points

Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell scored 18 points and added four rebounds on 6-for-10 shooting from the field in Friday's 122-104 win over the Pelicans.

RJ Barrett Struggles On Friday Against The Mavericks

New York Knicks rookie guard/forward RJ Barrett could not get his shot to drop on Friday as he managed to connect on just one of his nine shots from the floor for three points in the win. Barrett did salvage his line by adding four assists with eight rebounds to go along with just a […]

Alec Burks Drops 18 Points Off Bench In Loss

Golden State Warriors point/shooting guard Alec Burks finished second on his club in scoring during Friday’s overtime defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves, going for 18 points on 5-for-10 shooting off the bench. Burks continues to pace Golden State’s second unit with injuries severely hampering the roster, as he also added nine rebounds and two blocks […]

D'Angelo Russell Goes For Career-High 52 Points In Defeat

If Friday’s contest is any indication, the remainder of the 2019-20 season is going to be an exciting one for D'Angelo Russell from a personal standpoint. In his first game back after a three-contest absence due to injury, Russell’s usage reached absurd proportions, finishing with a career-high 52 points on 19-for-37 shooting, including going 7-for-17 […]

Andrew Wiggins Notches 40 Points During Victory

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Andrew Wiggins was vital to his team’s win over the Golden State Warriors on Friday, having forced overtime with a bucket in the waning seconds of regulation, in addition to burying the clinching three in overtime.

J.J. Redick To Suit Up For Friday’s Contest

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard J.J. Redick has been given the green light to take the floor for Friday’s game against the Toronto Raptors. In addition to being cleared, Redick will reportedly not have a minutes limit, which means that he should be right in line for his normal allotment of roughly 23-25 minutes. The […]

Aaron Holiday Gets Another Start

Indiana Pacers guard Aaron Holiday will get another chance in the starting five for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Holiday dropped 18 points and did a solid job against Isaiah Thomas on Wednesday. He should see around 30 minutes here and is worth looking at as a cheap DFS option.

Terrence Ross Ruled Out for Second Straight Game

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Ross will miss his second game in a row, but head coach Steve Clifford said Ross might play able to play on Saturday. Michael Carter-Williams played well off the bench on Wednesday and will likely be asked to […]

Eric Gordon Will Play on Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (hamstring) will be back in action for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He suffered a hamstring injury on Monday, but appears to be ready to go on Saturday. It'll only be a one game absence for Gordon, but he's been awful this season. Fantasy owners may want to consider […]

Devin Booker's 22 Points Not Enough In Loss To Heat

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker poured in 22 points and added three rebounds with five assists in the 16-point loss to the Heat on Thursday. Booker connected on a solid six of 13 shots and is shooting a much more efficient 52.9% from the floor so far this year and this has a lot to […]

Jimmy Butler Dominates First Half Versus The Suns

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler went off in the first half, scoring 30 of his 34 total points on 9-for-10 shooting while making all 10 of his freebies.
