JaMychal Green And James Ennis Will Play Thursday
Memphis Grizzlies forwards JaMychal Green (ankle) and James Ennis (calf) will return to game action Thursday night against the Detroit Pistons. Green has missed the past five games, while Ennis has missed the past seven. With Green's return, Jarell Martin will return to the bench and lose most of his already limited value. With Ennis […]
C.J. Miles is Questionable on Thursday
Toronto Raptors guard/forward C.J. Miles (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He did not go through shootaround and has been experiencing some knee soreness. Norman Powell filled in nicely for Miles on Tuesday. He's expected to do the same if Miles is forced to the sidelines again. Powell is not worth […]
Eric Bledsoe Ruled Out Thursday
Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (ankle) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was listed as doubtful but never really had much of a chance to play in this contest. Owners should prepare to be without Bledsoe for Friday's game against the Knicks as well. Malcolm Brogdon, Matthew Dellavedova and […]
Mario Chalmers Ruled Out Thursday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Mario Chalmers (hamstring) will not play against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday. Deyonta Davis (knee), James Ennis (illness) and JaMychal Green (ankle) are all questionable for this contest. Andrew Harrison logged heavy minutes as the starting point guard on Wednesday. Wayne Selden scored 24 points with six triples in the loss on Wednesday. […]
Eric Gordon Not Expected to Play Thursday
Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (back) is not expected to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. Gordon has dealt with back issues since 2011, so it is not surprising the injury has crept up on him again. Gerald Green is expected to slide into Gordon's role if he's sidelined. Luc Mbah a […]
Gary Harris is Probable on Thursday
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Gary Harris (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is the first time we're hearing about an ankle issue, but it does not sound too serious at the moment. He's fully expected to start on Thursday, but owners should check back just in case before […]
Nicolas Batum Scores A Triple-Double
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum scored 10 points with 10 rebounds and 11 assists in a win over Atlanta on Wednesday. It was Batum's eighth career triple-double and fourth triple-double as a Hornet -- third highest in franchise history, Batum looks to be finally rounding into shape. Over the last two weeks, Batum is averaging […]
Wesley Matthews Terrible in Mavs Loss
Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews had one of the worst performances of his career on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns, going just 2-for-17 from the floor. He missed all nine of his attempts from downtown and ended up with just six points despite logging a team-high 36 minutes. Matthews went off for a season-high […]
Andrew Harrison Has Productive Outing Against Pacers
Memphis Grizzlies guard Andrew Harrison continued his improved play on Wednesday against the Pacers, finishing with 13 points on 4-for-8 shooting. Harrison went a perfect 5-for-5 from the free throw line and has now gone 13-for-13 from the stripe over his past six games. Harrison also pulled down five rebounds and passed for six assists in […]
Wayne Selden Leads Grizzlies In Scoring On Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies guard Wayne Selden made his fourth consecutive start on Wednesday and scored 24 points on 8-for-14 shooting, including a 6-for-10 night from behind the three-point line. Selden's scoring has been hit or miss lately, but he's shown that he can make baskets when he takes shots, as he's now scored 17 or more […]
J.J. Redick Looks Good in His Return
Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick (leg) returned from his two-week absence on Wednesday in Brooklyn, draining three triples on his way to 20 points on 4-for-10 shooting in the loss. Redick, who is not known for his supporting stats, didn't do a whole lot else in this one, adding just one steal and two […]
Jordan Clarkson Keeps it Going Against the Orlando Magic
Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson kept up his excellent play as of late in a 127-105 loss to the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. Clarkson finished the night with 20 points, five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block while adding two of five from downtown and a perfect 4-for-4 from the line. […]
Kent Bazemore Stays Hot in Loss
Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Kent Bazemore had another efficient night in his team's 110-123 loss to the Hornets. Bazemore shot 8-for-11 from the field, including 3-for-5 from deep, while adding two rebounds, five assists and a steal. That's two games in a row where Bazemore has shot over 57 percent from the field. Unfortunately, that […]
Tyreke Evans Won't Play Again Until He's Traded
Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Tyreke Evans won't be a Grizzly for much longer. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Grizzlies will hold Evans out until a trade can be worked out, effectively ending Evans' brief tenure in Memphis. His long-term fantasy value will depend a lot on where he lands, but in the right situation […]
Lance Stephenson Ready To Play Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Lance Stephenson (thigh) is available to play against his former team Wednesday, the Memphis Grizzlies. Stephenson was questionable with a thigh injury, but it was labeled as minor. Stephenson will take his usual bench role of 23.2 minutes per game. Lately, his scoring has been up from his season average of 8.9 […]
Tony Allen Plays Zero Minutes In Return
New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Tony Allen returned on Tusday after a fractured leg had kept him out since early December, but he didn't play a single minute in the Pelicans loss to the Sacramento Kings. Fantasy owners who hoped Allen could return and contribute defensive stats were already hoping for a bit of a […]
Lance Stephenson is Questionable on Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard/forward Lance Stephenson (thigh) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. It is not that big of an issue, so if he does sit on Wednesday, it'll likely just be a one-game absence. Bojan Bogdanovic and Cory Joseph would split the majority of the minutes if Stephenson is out. […]
Devin Booker Questionable Against Mavs
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ribs) is questionable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. The X-rays came back negative, but it would not be too surprising if Booker sat out one more game. Marquese Chriss (ankle) is also listed as questionable for this contest. Isaiah Canaan and Dragan Bender would get another chance […]
Dillon Brooks is Questionable on Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (knee) is questionable to play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. He tweaked his knee on Monday, and it would not be surprising if the Grizzlies decide to give him the night off. If Brooks is out, Jarell Martin, Wayne Selden and Kobi Simmons would see increased minutes and usage. […]
Kyrie Irving Ruled Out Against Knicks
Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He'll join Marcus Smart (hand) on the sidelines, which could mean heavy minutes for Terry Rozier. The absence of Irving will make Rozier a favorable target in DFS. Al Horford, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum will see […]
J.J. Redick Will Start on Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard J.J. Redick (leg) will return to the starting lineup against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Redick will likely be dealing with a minutes limit his first game back from a seven-game absence. He's not going to be a great target in DFS on Wednesday. Timothe Luwawu will move to the second unit […]
Jerryd Bayless is Available Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers guard Jerryd Bayless (wrist) is available to play against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. It sounds like Bayless will be returning from a six-game absence, but he won't have much fantasy impact. J.J. Redick (leg) is also expected to play on Wednesday. The return of Redick will take away most of the value […]
J.J. Barea Questionable on Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (oblique) is questionable to play against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. He's spent the last two games on the sidelines but could return Wednesday. He's really only an option in deeper leagues, but usually isn't much of an asset in fantasy. Dennis Smith Jr. , Yogi Ferrell and Devin Harris will […]
Tim Hardaway Jr. Scores 15 Points In 25 Minutes
New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. played only 25 minutes on Tuesday after taking a hard fall/foul in the previous game against the Phoenix Suns. He did score 15 points on 6-for-13 shooting but recorded only one rebound and three steals. Hardaway is still working to get back into form, as he […]
Danny Green Shoots Bricks From Downtown
San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Danny Green continued his struggles in Tuesday's narrow 106-104 win over Denver, missing all six three-point attempts and finishing with 3-for-11 shooting. Green hasn't made a single three-ball in three consecutive games, missing 13 attempts in total. He was limited to just nine minutes in the previous game, but got […]
Gerald Green Logs 32 Minutes Off The Bench
Houston Rockets shooting guard Gerald Green provided 32 minutes of production off the bench in Tuesday's 114-107 win over Orlando, shooting 4-for-11 on his way to 11 points. He disappointed from deep, making just two of his seven three-point attempts, but he did grab six boards and added a block. Green has resurfaced from the […]
James Harden Explodes For A Historic Triple-Double
Houston Rockets guard James Harden had one of the best performances in NBA history on Tuesday night against the Orlando Magic, becoming the first player ever with a 60-point triple-double. Harden shot 19-for-30 with five triples and 17 free throws to break the Rockets franchise record for most points scored in a game. He added […]
NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds for Week 16
The first big move ahead of the trade deadline rocked the NBA on Monday, when Blake Griffin was traded to the Pistons. Luckily for fantasy basketball owners, it shouldn't do much to the primary names involved. Griffin will still be the main option in Detroit, and Tobias Harris should continue to get the looks he became […]
Reggie Bullock Makes Most Out Of Opportunity
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock had an efficient game once again from the field, scoring 22 points on 9-for-15 shooting in addition to adding four threes in the win over the struggling Cleveland Cavaliers. The five-year veteran has been a consistent threat from the perimeter all season long and should prosper even more with the addition of […]
Klay Thompson The Lone Bright Spot For Warriors
Golden Staten Warriors guard Klay Thompson was the only one who had it going on Tuesday night, as he shot 12-for-17 for 27 points in a 99-129 blowout loss against the Jazz. Thompson added three triples, six boards and three assists to go along with a pair of blocks. The great thing about Thompson is […]
