Zach LaVine Won't Play Against Sixers
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (thigh) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. For some reason the Bulls have not shut down LaVine yet, but that is likely going to happen soon. The Bulls have no incentive to win, so letting LaVine rest is a smart move. Shaquille Harrison will continue […]
Jimmy Butler is Questionable for Saturday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He did not play on Thursday due to back tightness, so the Sixers may decide to take the cautious approach once again. The Sixers will likely use a committee approach to fill the void, so no big winners […]
Tyler Dorsey Grabs Career-High Nine Rebounds In Win
Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Tyler Dorsey came just a rebound shy of logging his first career double-double during Friday’s win over the Dallas Mavericks. He would finish with a new career-high nine rebounds, adding 17 points, despite shooting 1-for-7 from behind the arc. Dorsey’s performance has seesawed since entering the starting five eight games ago, […]
Courtney Lee Drops Season-High 21 Points
Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Courtney Lee made his third start in his past four games during Friday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies and went for a season-best 21 points on 9-for-15 shooting, including 3-for-6 from behind the arc.

Dwyane Wade Logs 24 Points, Misses Potential Game-Winner
Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade collected a team-high 24 points during Friday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing 8-for-16 from the floor in his role as bench ace. He had the ball in his hands with the clock approaching zeros, but was unable to knock down the game-winner, muddling Miami’s path to the postseason. […]
Dion Waiters Sinks Six Triples In Defeat
Miami Heat shooting guard Dion Waiters went 6-for-12 from behind the three-point line during Friday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing with 22 points. The performance was strikingly one-dimensional, with Waiters failing to log a positive statistic aside from the made triples. He has knocked down multiple threes in nine consecutive outings, having averaged 19.3 […]
James Harden Drops 26 Points In 29 Minutes
Houston Rockets point/shooting guard James Harden did not need to log a full outing to nearly record another triple-double in Friday’s win over the New York Knicks, compiling 26 points, eight rebounds and eight assists across 29 minutes. The nature of the blowout victory stunted his stat line, even as he knocked down five three-pointers […]
Damian Lillard Struggles In The Loss To The Nuggets
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard managed to connect on just three of 14 shooting and scored just 14 points in the loss to the Nuggets on Friday. Lillard added eight assists and four rebounds, as it shows when the franchise guard doesn't produce, it appears in the final score. Lillard has gone cold at […]
Will Barton Scores Just Four Points Versus Blazers
Denver Nuggets shooting guard/small forward Will Barton struggled heavily on Friday when he made just two of his seven shot attempts to score four points. Barton couldn't find his groove on this night and he scored just two points five games ago. The wing did not add much else on the night as he added […]
Jamal Crawford Records A Season-High 28 Points

Donovan Mitchell Scores 23 Points To Help Secure The Win
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell poured in 23 points while handing out nine assists in the 21-point win over the Kings on Friday. Mitchell also hauled in five rebounds while adding a steal as he connected on 9-for-19 shooting on the night. With Ricky Rubio (quad) to possibly miss some time, this only means Mitchell […]
Joe Ingles Hands Out Seven Assists In Win
Utah Jazz shooting guard/small forward Joe Ingles posted another excellent line in the 21-point win over the Kings on Friday. Ingles scored 17 points and added seven assists with four boards while being a team-high plus-20 on the night. Ingles has been just awesome as of late and over his last six games is averaging […]

Westbrook logged 19 points, 15 assists and eight rebounds on the night and once again became the only player other than Oscar Robertson to record this amazing […]
Reggie Bullock is Questionable Against Clippers
Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Reggie Bullock (neck) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He missed Thursday's game due to foot soreness, but now he's dealing with neck stiffness. Alex Caruso has been reliable lately and is a decent DFS option without Bullock in the rotation.
Dion Waiters Will Play on Friday
Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He played 42 minutes on Wednesday, but had an MRI on his left knee afterwards. It came back negative, so Waiters is good to go for this one. He's been hot lately, so fantasy owners may want to use Waiters […]
Seth Curry is Questionable on Friday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Seth Curry (leg) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Curry is dealing with left leg soreness that he likely suffered during Wednesday's contest. Rodney Hood and Evan Turner will see increased playing time if Curry is unable to play.
Alex Caruso Plays Career-High 37 Minutes In First Start Of Year
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard/small forward Alex Caruso entered the starting five for the first time this season during Thursday’s loss to the Golden State Warriors. Caruso logged a career-best 37 minutes, but shot 4-for-14 en route to totaling nine points on the night, with two coming on an enormous putback jam. He boosted the […]
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Scuffles Mightily From Floor In Loss
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope got his shot up early and often during his 21 minutes on the court in Thursday’s defeat to the Golden State Warriors, but it afforded him a 3-for-19 overall performance, including going 1-for-9 from three-point range. Caldwell-Pope has become a staple of LA’s starting lineup down the stretch, […]

Redick continued to singe the net during Thursday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, collecting 29 points on 10-for-15 shooting, while knocking down five triples on nine attempts.

De'Aaron Fox Records A Double-Double
Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox recorded his 15th double-double of the season and the 18th of his young career on Thursday.

Buddy Hield Records 23 Points On 16 Shots
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield connected on nine of 16 shooting to score 23 points in the 117-104 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday.

Collin Sexton Returns To Efficient Shooting Form
Cleveland Cavalier guard Collin Sexton connected on eight of 14 shooting to score 19 points after posting two subpar shooting games in the 13-point loss to the Kings on Thursday. Sexton provided three makes from three while adding three assists and a steal on the night. Sexton has stepped up his output in the last […]
Wesley Matthews is Questionable for Friday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Tyreke Evans has been starting for Matthews, so he could return to the bench if Matthews is cleared to play. Doug McDermott has been getting a boost as well, so his fantasy value could take a hit.
Kevin Huerter is Doubtful on Friday
Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (back) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Huerter is dealing with back pain again, so the Hawks are likely going to sit him out with just a few games left on the schedule. Fantasy owners should check for an update on Friday.
Devin Booker Sidelined for Rest of the Season
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) has reportedly been shut down for the rest of the regular season. He suffered a sprained left ankle on Wednesday and the Suns aren't going to risk anything. The Suns have no incentive to win, so they will let Booker rest for the final three games of the season. […]
Eric Gordon Camps Out Behind Arc In Victory
Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon had a delightfully Gordon-esque performance during Wednesday’s win over the Los Angeles Clippers. He finished with 15 points, all of which came on his 5-for-10 effort from behind the three-point line. With not one of his shot attempts coming from inside the arc, it’s little surprise that he contributed […]
James Harden Drops Team-High 31 Points In Victory
Houston Rockets point/shooting guard James Harden paved the way with a 31-point performance during Wednesday’s convincing win over the Los Angeles Clippers. It was a calm offensive performance by Harden’s standards, with his 15 shot attempts marking his fewest in a contest since Dec. 15. He would finish 10-for-12 from the free-throw line, while adding […]
