Lou Williams With an Efficient 26 Points
Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams continued to roll with 26 points, six assists and two steals in a 108-95 win over the Detroit Pistons. Williams was super efficient while making seven of 12 shots from the floor to go along with four of six from deep and eight of nine from the charity stripe. The return […]
J.J. Redick Keeps It Going Against Pelicans
Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick was an effective trigger man for the Sixers on Friday, draining three triples on his way to scoring 15 points on 6-for-10 shooting. Redick was rebounding the ball at a high rate in this one, coming down with seven boards against New Orleans in Philly. He also added two […]
Jrue Holiday Struggles in Philly
New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday struggled on Friday night in the loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Holiday played only 23 minutes, finishing things up with an underwhelming nine points on 3-for-11 shooting from the field. Nonetheless, Holiday can't take all of the credit for his inefficient play, as his entire team shot an embarrassing […]
Milos Teodosic Questionable on Friday
Los Angeles Clippers guard Milos Teodosic (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Owners will need to check back closer to game time for more information on his status. Lou Williams and Avery Bradley will be busy if Milos is forced out of action on Friday. Austin Rivers (foot) is questionable for […]
Austin Rivers is Questionable on Friday
Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Austin Rivers (ankle, heel) is questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was targeting a Feb. 9 return, so Rivers is on schedule. This is the first time we've seen him tagged with anything other than out, so that is positive. Rivers does not have much fantasy upside with […]
George Hill, Jordan Clarkson, Rodney Hood Not Expected to Play Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers guards George Hill, Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood are not expected to play against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. The trio is expected to play a significant role once active, but it does not sound like that is going to be on Friday. Hill is worth owning in standard leagues and should see a […]
Devin Harris Ruled Out Friday
Denver Nuggets guard Devin Harris has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. The Nuggets acquired Harris at the deadline, but he won't be ready to play on Friday. Harris will reportedly meet the team in Phoenix for Saturday's contest versus the Suns. When he does eventually suit up, Harris will play […]
Dwyane Wade Expected to Come Off Bench
Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade will come off the bench in Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Heat acquired Wade at the deadline, but do not expect his fantasy value to rise much. His homecoming is a great story, but the Heat have plenty of depth at the shooting guard position. Wayne Ellington (shoulder) […]
Wayne Ellington is Probable Versus Bucks
Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (shoulder) is probable for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said Elliington is "somewhere between probable and questionable" for Friday's contest. He did not play on Wednesday, but was able to get up some shots at practice on Thursday. Dwyane Wade and Luke Babbitt were added […]
Eric Gordon is Questionable on Friday
Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Gordon returned from a back injury and played 28 minutes on Tuesday. He sat out on Wednesday after experiencing discomfort in his back, so it is unclear if he'll be able to suit up on Friday. Forward/center […]
Jaylen Brown Plays 38 Minutes in Overtime Victory
Boston Celtics shooting guard/forward Jaylen Brown scored 18 points as he played 38 minutes in Thursday’s overtime win. One of Boston’s many switchy, lengthy defenders, Brown is heavily relied upon in crunch time. He’s also the second option for scoring in Boston, so it’s good to see he’s trending in the right direction as the […]
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Leads Charge In Win Over Thunder
Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored a team-high 20 points Thursday night against a Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony-less Thunder team. The entire Lakers had a fantastic night from the field and Pope barely outscored teammates Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle and Kyle Kuzma. While it was a very mediocre night stat-wise for the entire team, it […]
Wesley Matthews Scores 17 Points on Thursday
Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews had a rough night from downtown on Thursday against the Warriors, making only two of his nine triples, but he still finished with 17 points. Matthews, who also had a couple of steals, shot 7-for-17 overall in the first game following the trade deadline. Dallas was reportedly shopping Matthews […]
J.J. Barea Drops Eight Dimes in a Start
Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea started instead of Harrison Barnes (ankle) on Thursday against Golden State, playing 28 minutes and finishing with six points and eight assists. Barea went 2-for-9 from the floor and missed all five treys. The 33-year-old sharpshooter is having trouble finding the net after returning from injury, shooting with just 27.6 […]
D.J. Augustin Takes Advantage of New Role
Orlando Magic guard D.J. Augustin scored 18 points in a win over Atlanta on Thursday. Elfrid Payton was traded earlier Thursday, and Augustin took over as the starter at point guard. He played over 35 minutes and when the game was on the line, he scored seven of his 18 points in the last 3:13 […]
Evan Fournier Produces Post Trade Deadline
Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier scored a game-high 22 points in a win over Atlanta. Fournier has been inconsistent of late as his name has floated in and out of trade rumors. Now that the deadline is over, Fournier dropped his highest scoring game in almost a month. He was 7-for-14 from the field and […]
DeMar DeRozan Fails to Hit Double Digits Against the Knicks
Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan didn't look like he should be starting in the All-Star game against the Knicks on Thursday, scoring just eight points in a team-high 28 minutes, shooting an awful 2-for-11 from the field while hitting one from deep. On a positive note, DeRozan did display some across-the-board production in this […]
C.J. Miles Keeps Shooting on Thursday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles maintained his shooting stroke against the Knicks on Thursday, scoring 11 points with three triples, going 4-for-8 from the field in the contest. Miles was one of five Raptors off the bench to hit double digits in this one. His production didn't end there, however, as he added five rebounds, […]
Delon Wright Puts up Third Straight Solid Performance
Toronto Raptors guard Delon Wright was effective off the bench on Thursday, scoring 11 points on a near-perfect 5-for-6 shooting, which included one three-pointer made against the Knicks. Wright wasn't his usual defensive self in this one, only coming away with one steal in the contest, but he still had a productive night, adding three […]
Kent Bazemore Has a Game to Forget
Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Kent Bazemore shot an abysmal 3-for-11 from the field and missed all three of his attempts from behind the arc in his team's two-point loss to the Magic. He did manage to collect four rebounds and four assists while snagging a steal and two blocks, which helped his case, but when […]
Jonathon Simmons Will Start on Thursday
Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (ankle) will start against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. He was listed as questionable heading into the contest, but was always expected to play. Simmons dropped a career-high 34 points against the Cavs on Tuesday. Elfrid Payton has been traded, which means Simmons should see plenty of chances with the […]
Nets Acquire Dante Cunningham At Deadline
The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to a deal that sends guard/forward Rashad Vaughn to New Orleans in exchange for forward Dante Cunningham. Vaughn has been traded for the second time this week but probably won't see much playing time in New Orleans. He won't see enough time on the court to own him in any […]
Devin Harris Heading to Denver
Guard Devin Harris has been traded to the Denver Nuggets in a three-team trade. Doug McDermott heads to the Mavs while Emmanuel Mudiay joins the Knicks. Harris is a quality veteran guard but won't offer much to the Nuggets roster. Jamal Murray, Gary Harris and Will Barton are all healthy and above Harris on the […]
James Ennis Traded to Pistons
The Memphis Grizzlies have decided to move guard/forward James Ennis in exchange for Detroit Pistons power forward Brice Johnson and a second-round pick. Ennis should add some depth and length to the Pistons perimeter, but this move does not increase his fantasy value. Johnson will be the third-string power forward behind JaMychal Green and Jarell […]
Elfrid Payton Headed to Phoenix
The Phoenix Suns have acquired point guard Elfrid Payton from the Orlando Magic in exchange for a second-round pick. The Magic have been reportedly looking to dump Payton's salary for quite some time. Payton will likely be starting next to Devin Booker. Tyler Ulis and Josh Gray will lose minutes and value with this move. […]
Kings Add Iman Shumpert, Joe Johnson At The Deadline
The Sacramento Kings agreed to a three-team trade that sends guard George Hill to the Cavs in exchange for guard/forwards Iman Shumpert and Joe Johnson. According to NBA reporter David Aldridge, the Kings will seek a buyout with Johnson. He was moved from Utah to Sacramento but does not fit in the Kings system. Multiple teams […]
Cavs Acquire George Hill and Rodney Hood
The Cleveland Cavaliers added veteran guard George Hill and guard/forward Rodney Hood in a three-team trade. The Cavs moved guards Iman Shumpert, Derrick Rose and forward Jae Crowder in this deal. Hood was playing well off the bench in Utah before this trade. He does not gain any value from this move to Cleveland, but there […]
Derrick Rose, Jae Crowder Headed to Utah
The Utah Jazz have acquired Cleveland Cavaliers guard Derrick Rose and forward Jae Crowder in a three-way trade. Guard/forward Rodney Hood is headed to Cleveland, while veteran forward Joe Johnson is moved to Sacramento. According to Shams Charania, the Jazz are likely going to release Rose. He does not fit the system in Utah and […]
Dwyane Wade Traded To Miami
The Miami Heat have acquired their former star, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, in a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Miami gave up a protected second-round pick. Wade returns to Miami and will help fill a hole for the Heat at the shooting guard spot that they've had since Dion Waiters went down for the season. […]
Cavaliers Trade For Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have sent Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye and their own 2018 first-round pick to the Lakers for guard Jordan Clarkson and forward Larry Nance Jr. Clarkson should provide an immediate impact offensively for the Cavaliers as a scoring threat and represents a possible upgrade over Thomas, whose presence on the court has sunk Cleveland's […]
