Devin Booker Won't Play on Monday
Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker (hamstring) won't play in Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Booker hasn't been able to get through a full practice yet, so it doesn't seem like he's close to a return. Josh Jackson and Elie Okobo are going to benefit the most until Booker is able to get […]
Norman Powell Likely to Miss Next Four Games
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Norman Powell (shoulder) is unlikely to play in the upcoming four-game road trip. Powell hasn't made much progress on his left shoulder injury. He can remain on the waiver wire in all formats. C.J. Miles and OG Anunoby should benefit in playing time.

Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade scored 25 points on 8-for-21 shooting from the field and 5-for-10 from beyond the arc in Saturday's victory over the Clippers.

Dallas Mavericks guard Wesley Matthews scored 21 points on 6-for-13 shooting in Saturday's win over the Houston Rockets. Matthews added in three rebounds and three assists while shooting 4-for-7 from deep.

Damyean Dotson Records Team-High 30 Minutes

Allonzo Trier Goes For 15 Points Off Bench
New York Knicks shooting guard Allonzo Trier found himself back in favor during Saturday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets, piling up 15 points off the bench in 27 minutes. As is usually the case with Trier, he added virtually nothing else from a fantasy perspective, making him entirely scoring-dependent. Playing a guessing game with minutes […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. Logs Just 23 Minutes In Poor Shooting Night
New York Knicks shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. simply didn’t have it from the field during Saturday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets, finishing with seven points on 2-for-12 shooting. With that in mind, head coach David Fizdale opted for other options, leaving Hardaway with just 23 minutes on the floor. This was a clunker in […]
Allen Crabbe Goes Perfect From Long Range
Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Allen Crabbe went 5-for-5 from three-point range during Saturday’s win over the New York Knicks, finishing with 17 points. If the Nets lost confidence in Crabbe due to his shooting woes to open the year, those fears can be alleviated, as he is shooting 51 percent from deep over his last […]

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie had his offensive arsenal working during Saturday’s win over the New York Knicks, finishing with 25 points off the bench on 10-for-17 shooting, adding in six assists for good measure.

D'Angelo Russell Dishes Out Season-High 11 Assists
Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell handed out a season-high 11 assists during Saturday’s win over the New York Knicks. Russell struggled from the field scoring the ball, finishing with nine points, but was able to create opportunities for his teammates and deliver his second double-digit assist game of the year. Still just 22 years […]
Justin Holiday Posts Five-Point Dud On Saturday
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Justin Holiday was a horrible 2-for-10 from the field, including 1-for-7 from three-point range, on Saturday against Boston when he finished with only five points. The team laid a massive egg after beating OKC on Friday, suffering the biggest defeat in franchise history when the Celtic won by 56 points. Holiday has […]
Zach LaVine Gets Limited To 11 Points In Blowout Loss
Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine played only 19 minutes in Saturday's historic 56-point blowout loss against Boston, scoring 11 points on 4-for-6 shooting. He made all three attempts from the line but missed his only three-pointer. LaVine also had three rebounds and two assists. The Bulls couldn't cope with Boston all night long, so there […]
Andrew Wiggins Stays Hot

He has scored over 16 points per game in four of the last five contests. With season averages of 15.6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists, he is a marginal fantasy asset only […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Splashes Quartet Of Threes Off Bench
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope hit a season-high four threes during Saturday’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies, finishing with 16 points. That makes three consecutive games in double figures for Caldwell-Pope, who continues to see hefty run for LA despite his dip in scoring this season. He’s averaging his fewest minutes per game […]
Josh Hart Hits Four Threes In Team-High 36 Minutes
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Josh Hart logged 36 minutes for the second consecutive night Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies, finishing with 16 points while going 4-for-7 from long range. His four made triples are his most in a single contest since Nov. 7, so after going 0-for-5 from deep Friday night, he seems to […]
James Harden Scores 35 Points Against Mavericks
Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored 35 points on 11-for-22 shooting in Saturday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Last season's MVP also added eight assists and four rebounds to go along with a steal and a block.

Gordon Hayward Struggles From Field Off Bench
Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Gordon Hayward went 2-for-9 from the field during Saturday’s blowout win of the Chicago Bulls. Hayward finished with five points, six assists and five rebounds, but he remains a far cry from the offensive player he was before his ankle injury. Hayward entered the night averaging almost three points per […]
Kent Bazemore Delivers Seesaw Performance
Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Kent Bazemore has found himself back in the starting lineup with Taurean Prince (ankle) on the sidelines and he displayed both the positives and negatives in his game during Saturday’s win over the Denver Nuggets. He contributed across multiple categories in his 33 minutes, finishing with six points, eight assists, […]
Malik Beasley Continues Offensive Barrage
Denver Nuggets shooting guard Malik Beasley shot early and often during Saturday’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks, finishing with 19 points on 7-for-16 shooting in just 23 minutes of action.

Jamal Murray Logs 24 Minutes In Injury-Plagued Outing

Josh Richardson Ruled Out Saturday
Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson is a late scratch for Saturday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a right shoulder impingement. Richardson joins Goran Dragic, Hassan Whiteside and Wayne Ellington on the bench for Miami, leaving any active backcourt members a worthy DFS play. The Heat’s leading scorer this season at […]
Reggie Bullock Ruled Out For Sunday’s Game
Detroit Pistons shooting guard/small forward Reggie Bullock will miss Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans due to a sprained left ankle. This will mark the third straight game missed for Bullock, who has seen Langston Galloway and Bruce Brown Jr. log minutes in his stead. If the extent of Bullock’s injury is just a […]
Jamal Murray Cleared To Play Saturday
Denver Nuggets point/shooting guard Jamal Murray has been given the thumbs up to start Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks, having previously been listed as probable due to a bruised right forearm injury. Murray will likely shoulder a heavy offensive load with both Paul Millsap and Gary Harris sidelined for the time being, with Murray […]
E'Twaun Moore Probable For Sunday’s Contest
New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard/small forward E'Twaun Moore has a probable tag for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Pistons due to a lower leg strain. Moore came off the bench for the second time all season Friday, finishing with just four points and missing a potential game-tying look in the closing seconds. While the injury […]
Wayne Ellington Ruled Out For Saturday’s Game
Miami Heat point/shooting guard Wayne Ellington will be absent from Saturday’s contest against the Los Angeles Clippers due to personal reasons. Ellington also sat out Friday’s win over Phoenix, with his next opportunity to return coming Monday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Combined with the absence of Goran Dragic, Tyler Johnson should see a lion’s […]
Iman Shumpert is Resting on Saturday
Sacramento Kings guard/forward Iman Shumpert (rest) will not play in Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The Kings want to keep Shumpert fresh and rest him, so they can try to avoid any injuries due to fatigue. Bogdan Bogdanovic and Justin Jackson should receive extra minutes with Shumpert sitting out.
