Caris LeVert Injury Leaves Scoring Void For Nets
Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Caris Levert suffered what appears to be a serious right leg injury during Monday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Prior to his departure, he scored 10 points on 5-for-12 shooting in 17 minutes of action. Considering the scene surrounding his injury, which included LeVert being carted off the court, his return […]
Markelle Fultz Struggles On Monday
Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz scored five points on 2-for-8 shooting on Monday night against the Miami Heat, adding in two rebounds and five assists. Fultz had been trending in the right direction over his previous few contests, but this game does have him take a backward step in his maturation process. He attempted an […]
J.J. Redick Fires 20 Attempts In Road Victory
Philadelphia 76ers guard J.J. Redick scored 25 points on 11-for-20 shooting from the field, which included going 3-for-9 from deep. The 34-year-old also added one rebound and three assists. Redick has taken 20+ attempts in three games this season, but that is a trend that is unlikely to continue going forward. With Jimmy Butler now […]
Caris LeVert Suffers Severe Injury
Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Caris Levert (ankle, leg) was forced to leave Monday night's game against the Timberwolves on a stretcher, according to Kent Youngblood of the Minnesota Star-Tribune. LeVert suffered the injury late in the second quarter as he landed back on the floor after trying to block Timberwolves Josh Okogie's shot. He is […]
Jeff Teague And Andrew Wiggins Starting Monday Night
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (knee) and guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (quad) will start Monday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Teague is returning from a six-game absence with a sore knee while Wiggins missed Saturday's contest with a bruised quad. With Teague back in the lineup, Derrick Rose will see a decrease in value after […]
Dillon Brooks To Miss Six To Eight Weeks
Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks (knee) has been diagnosed with a knee injury and is set to miss the next six to eight weeks. Brooks left Saturday's game with the knee injury and an MRI Monday revealed an MCL sprain. While Brooks is on the shelf, Kyle Anderson, Garrett Temple and Wayne Selden will be […]
J.R. Smith, Kyle Korver Miss Monday's Practice
Cleveland Cavaliers guards J.R. Smith (illness) and Kyle Korver (foot) did not participate in Monday's practice. Both players are being considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Neither player is a reliable fantasy option, but should continue to see chances with the Cavs tanking. Rodney Hood, Jordan Clarkson and possibly David Nwaba should […]
Landry Shamet Moves Back to The Bench
Philadelphia 76ers guard Landry Shamet will move back to the bench for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. He started on Saturday and played 43 minutes, but went 2-of-13 from the floor. It doesn't sound like newly acquired Jimmy Butler will be in Philly until Wednesday. Shamet would still be heavily involved off the bench […]
Elfrid Payton is Doubtful on Monday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is doubtful to play in Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's listed as questionable on the injury report, but head coach Alvin Gentry made it sound more doubtful than anything. Wesley Johnson has been benefiting the most with Payton sidelined. It's difficult to imagine Johnson being relevant […]
Andrew Wiggins is Likely Playing on Monday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (quad) was a full participant at Monday's shootaround. He was previously listed as questionable, but after going through shootaround it sounds like he is probable. Newly acquired Dario Saric and Robert Covington are likely sitting this one out.

Wesley Matthews is Ruled Out on Monday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was listed as doubtful, but will officially sit this one out.

Jaylen Brown's Shooting Struggles Continue On Sunday
Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown could only convert two of his seven shots to finish with seven points and did not provide much else in the club's loss on Sunday.

Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Gordon Hayward managed to score just seven points in the loss on Sunday to the Portland Trail Blazers.

Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum struggled to score as he netted just 14 points, but it was all good as his club got the big win over the Boston Celtics on Sunday.

Seth Curry Plays 20 Minutes On Sunday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Seth Curry logged 20 minutes and provided some long-range shooting as he made three triples to help secure the win over the Boston Celtics on Sunday.

Evan Turner Is Quiet In The Win

Tim Hardaway Jr. Struggles In The Loss
New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. was a miserable 2-for-12 from the floor and the rest of his teammates did not provide much support in the blowout loss on Sunday. Hardaway Jr. ended the night with seven points while adding six rebounds and a steal in the loss. He came into this […]
Wesley Iwundu Plays 32 Minutes In The Win
Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Wesley Iwundu played 32 minutes with Jonathan Isaac (ankle) sidelined and he managed to post a decent line in the blowout win. Iwundu scored seven points on 3-for-8 shooting while grabbing a career-high eight rebounds and added two assists with a block and a make from deep. Isaac is soon […]

Orlando Magic point guard Jerian Grant dished out a team-high eight assists in 28 minutes against the New York Knicks on Sunday. Grant connected on 3-for-6 shooting, all of which were from beyond the arc to score nine points while adding two rebounds with a steal on the night. Grant is averaging 11.0 points, 5.0 […]
Evan Fournier Scores 12 Points In 19 Minutes
Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier needed just 19 minutes to score 12 points as he got most of the night off in the blowout win on Sunday. Fournier got up 13 shots and made five of them, to go along with four assists with two rebounds and a steal in this one. Fournier […]

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Jonathon Simmons' shooting struggles continued on Sunday, as he shot just 3-for-9 from the floor in the win.

Terrence Ross Gets Hot On Sunday In Win
Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Terrence Ross got things going off the bench in his club's blowout win on Sunday over the New York Knicks. Ross was an efficient 8-for-12 from the floor and 5-for-8 from three as he scored 22 points in as many minutes while adding three assists with two blocks and an […]
Gary Harris Is Experiencing A Shooting Slump
Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris scored 15 points on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks, adding four rebounds, three steals and two three-pointers on the night. Harris has lost his shooting stroke over the previous four games, connecting on only 29.6 percent of his attempts from the floor, which includes Friday's shaky 1-for-11 display. The 24-year-old […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/12/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
I hope everyone is enjoying the extended weekend. The league features nine games on Monday night with plenty of injuries to monitor. Keep an eye on Minnesota and the Dario Saric and Robert Covington situation. If those guys are out, along with Andrew Wiggins and Jeff Teague potentially, we will have some minutes available for some sneaky […]
Malcolm Brogdon Adds Some Defense
Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon produced his third straight game of at least 20 points, scoring 20 points on 7-for-13 shooting from the floor.

Reggie Bullock Records New Career-High 23 Points Sunday
Detroit Pistons shooting guard Reggie Bullock was on fire Sunday afternoon against the Charlotte Hornets.

Avery Bradley is Questionable for Monday
Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Bradley has missed roughly a week due to an ankle issue. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been starting and playing well, so the Clippers may keep him in the starting five going forward. Bradley doesn't have basically any fantasy value […]
Wesley Matthews is Doubtful for Monday
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It sounds like Matthews tweaked his hamstring during Saturday's contest. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so Matthews could be sidelined for a bit. Dorian Finney-Smith would see increased playing time if Matthews is forced to miss […]
Elfrid Payton is Questionable for Monday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Payton has missed the last seven games, but is reportedly close to returning. Fantasy owners will need to check back for another update after shootaround on Monday.
