Tyreke Evans Disappoints Once Again
Indiana Pacers guard Tyreke Evans continued to struggle on Thursday in the win as he mustered up just eight points in just 16 minutes of action. Evans again started in the backcourt and managed to add a rebound with two assists with three turnovers. For owners who grabbed Evans once Victor Oladipo (quad) went down […]
Terrence Ross Excels Off The Bench
Orlando Magic shooting guard Terrence Ross had a stellar outing Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ross scored 32 points on 13-of-23 shooting with five boards. Since January first Ross has become a solid scorer averaging 17.4 points and 3.9 rebounds a contest. These stats show that just because a guy comes off the bench doesn't […]
Terry Rozier Shines In Limited Minutes Off Bench
Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Terry Rozier logged just 19 minutes during Thursday’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, but that didn’t stop him from piling up 19 points, six assists and four rebounds, while also adding five made triples. Rozier has alternated between the starting five and the bench as of late with Kyrie Irving […]
Khris Middleton To Sit Out Friday Due To Rest
Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Khris Middleton will take a seat for Friday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks due to rest purposes. Middleton’s absence will likely clear the way for Tony Snell to enter the starting five, but Milwaukee has proven to mix up their allocation of minutes to their reserve wings on a nightly […]
E'Twaun Moore Listed As Questionable To Play Friday
New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard/small forward E'Twaun Moore has remained with the franchise through Thursday’s Trade Deadline and is now tagged as questionable to make his return against the Minnesota Timberwolves come Friday due to a left quad contusion. Moore has missed his squad’s five previous games, looking to crack back into the rotation as […]
Devin Booker’s Status Up In The Air For Friday
Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Devin Booker is listed as questionable to make his return to action Friday versus the Golden State Warriors due to right hamstring tightness. The injury kept Booker on the shelf Wednesday, forcing Josh Jackson into a massive offensive role with T.J. Warren also sidelined. Jackson would likely continue to see the […]
Luka Doncic Questionable To Play On Friday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic has picked up a questionable tag for Friday’s contest against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a bruised right thigh. The Mavericks rotations will already be in flux as they play without Harrison Barnes, which would make Tim Hardaway Jr. a favorite to enter the starting five and see an increased […]
Caris LeVert is Available on Friday
Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It sounds like LeVert is ready to play after going through two practices this week. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Nets ease him back into action. LeVert hasn't played since November, so they probably won't push it. DeMarre […]
Kyle Kuzma, Josh Hart Available on Thursday
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (hip) and guard/forward Josh Hart (knee) will be available for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Kuzma continues to battle a hip issue, so the Lakers will keep a close eye on that going forward. The Lakers may limit his playing time if the hip issue continues to bother […]
Gary Harris Won't Play on Friday
Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He continues to get ruled out early, so that's not a good sign going forward. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Nuggets hold Harris out until after the All-Star break. Monte Morris and Malik Beasley will continue […]
Lonnie Walker Won't Play on Thursday
San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Walker has not been a big part of the Spurs rotation this season. He played 26 minutes on Wednesday, but it's rare to see him play big minutes. He can be left on the waiver […]
Jrue Holiday Collects Second Consecutive Double-Double
New Orleans Pelicans point/shooting guard Jrue Holiday finished with 18 points and 11 assists during Wednesday’s win over the Chicago Bulls, giving him 18 double-doubles on the year. Holiday struggled from the field, firing up a career-high 13 attempts from three-point range and connecting on only three. Fortunately, he also added six rebounds, allotting him […]
Zach LaVine Pours In 28 Points During Defeat
Chicago Bulls shooting guard Zach LaVine utilized the up-tempo nature of Wednesday’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans to collect 28 points, eight rebounds and seven assists across 33 minutes. The performance now gives LaVine 21 games this season in which he has collected 25 or more points, averaging just a shade below 23 per […]
Buddy Hield Has Double-Double In Losing Effort
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield had a rare double-double -- only his third of the season -- in Wednesday's loss to the Rockets, scoring 20 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. He went 8-for-17 from the field and 3-for-10 from behind the arc. Marvin Bagley also reached a double-double in the game, finishing with 10 […]
Gerald Green Produces 25 Points In Wednesday's Win
Houston Rockets shooting guard Gerald Green was a force to be reckoned with both offensively and defensively in Wednesday's win over Sacramento, scoring 25 points and snapping up two steals and two blocks. He shot 8-for-17 from the field and 4-for-9 from downtown. Green doesn't get many chances to shine if the Rockets are fully […]
James Harden Has 36 Points With Only Two Free Throws
Houston Rockets guard James Harden shot only 2-for-2 from the line in his latest big game on Wednesday against Sacramento. The Beard torched the Kings from downtown, shooting 8-for-13 and he finished with 36 points, shooting 13-for-26 overall from the field. Eric Gordon had a nice night from deep as well as he shot 4-for-10 […]
Tomas Satoransky Fills Up Stat Sheet In High-Scoring Loss
Washington Wizards shooting guard Tomas Satoransky registered 16 points with 10 assists, seven rebounds and a steal across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 148-129 road loss against the Milwaukee Bucks. He ended up hitting 5-for-10 from the floor, but he was a strong 3-for-4 from behind the arc and also 3-for-4 from the free-throw line. If […]
Nik Stauskas and Wade Baldwin Added To Rockets Roster
Shooting guards Nik Stauskas and Wade Baldwin have been brought aboard by the Houston Rockets in a trade as the club makes their push toward the postseason. Stauskas and Baldwin had been flipped to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Rodney Hood, but the duo did not get the chance to even suit up for […]
Brandon Knight and Marquese Chriss Are Cleveland Bound
Point/shooting guard Brandon Knight and power forward/center Marquese Chriss are again on the move, reportedly heading to the Cleveland Cavaliers as a part of a three-team deal Wednesday. Knight has appeared in just 12 games this season off the bench for Houston, last appearing Jan. 11 as he makes his way back from a knee […]
Iman Shumpert Dealt To Rockets
Shooting guard/small forward Iman Shumpert has been dealt from one Western Conference playoff hopeful to another, acquired by the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. Shumpert, who is averaging a career-high 4.8 three-point attempts per game this season, will likely fit right into his new surroundings. The club surrendered a lottery-protected first-round pick to acquire his services, […]
Eric Gordon Cleared To Play Wednesday
Houston Rockets shooting guard/small forward Eric Gordon has been given the green light to suit up for Wednesday’s contest versus the Sacramento Kings after having started the day as questionable due to right knee soreness. Gordon’s return likely shifts James Ennis back to a bench role, although he still figures to see a solid chunk […]
Alec Burks Added To Fold For Sacramento
Shooting guard Alec Burks will join the Sacramento Kings for the stretch run of the 2018-19 campaign, as the guard has been traded for the second time this season. After a 34-game stint in Cleveland where Burks averaged 11.6 points per game, he found himself a commodity for a club looking to make the playoffs. […]
Jamal Murray To Make Return Wednesday
Denver Nuggets point/shooting guard Jamal Murray has been cleared to return for Wednesday’s contest versus the Brooklyn Nets after having missed the previous six games due to a left ankle sprain. Murray will presumably head Denver’s offense, which means Monte Morris will shift back to a bench role, although it’s unlikely he’ll fall too far […]
Garrett Temple Doubtful To Make Return Thursday
Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard/small forward Garrett Temple appears on track to miss his seventh consecutive game Thursday versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. Temple is battling a left shoulder sprain, which has forced Memphis to get creative with their lineups, allowing Justin Holiday to benefit from a significantly increased workload. Despite his entrenchment as a starter […]
Jonathon Simmons Questionable Ahead Of Thursday’s Game
Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Jonathan Simmons is listed as questionable to play in Thursday’s contest versus the Minnesota Timberwolves due to a strained abdominal. Simmons has been held out of each of his team’s previous three contests, having gone a combined 2-for-13 from the floor over the last three games he has played in. […]
Josh Hart Listed As Questionable For Thursday’s Game
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Josh Hart is tagged as questionable for Thursday’s match-up versus the Boston Celtics due to left knee tendinitis. Hart missed his first contest of the season Tuesday while also remaining a factor in many of Los Angeles’ trade negotiations prior to Thursday’s Trade Deadline. The Lakers added shooting guard Reggie […]
Derrick Rose Ruled Out For Thursday’s Game
Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Derrick Rose will miss Thursday’s contest versus the Orlando Magic due to right ankle soreness. Rose continues to battle ankle injuries, now having missed six of the previous seven games. It’s possible that the trio of Rose, Jeff Teague and Tyus Jones are all sidelined again, which would continue to pave […]
Wayne Ellington Likely To Be Waived After Trade To Suns
Point/shooting guard Wayne Ellington was part of a trade Wednesday between the Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns which saw the swap of Tyler Johnson and Ryan Anderson. Ellington appears to have tagged along in that deal, although the Suns are likely to waive the veteran, paving the way for him to become a free agent […]
Tyler Johnson Has Been Traded to Phoenix
Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson has been traded to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Ryan Anderson. This is clearly a salary swap move, but Johnson is the better player, so it hurts the Heat. The Suns desperately need guard help, so Johnson should be able to easily play 30 minutes in Phoenix. He needs […]
Courtney Lee, Tim Hardaway Jr. Should Play Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard Courtney Lee and guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. should be available for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Both are expected to make their team debuts alongside Trey Burke. Lee didn't do much with the Knicks, but should see a bigger role in Dallas. However, he'll likely only be a deep league option […]
