Brook Lopez With A Zero-Rebound Dud Against Portland
Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez was nowhere to be found in the Bucks win over the Trail Blazers on Thursday night, with just 10 points and zero rebounds in 30 minutes of action.

Carmelo Anthony Chips In Across The Board Versus Milwaukee
Newly-minted Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony had 18 points Thursday night to go along with seven rebounds and four assists against the Bucks. This was only Melo's second game with the Blazers and his 6-for-15 night shows there's still plenty of rust to shake off. Whatever contributions you think Anthony can bring to the... Read More
Eric Bledsoe Drops 30 Points On The Blazers In Win
Milwaukee Bucks point guard Eric Bledsoe shot 11 of 21 against Portland on Thursday night to finish with 30 points, six assists and four rebounds.

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum had the stage all to himself Thursday against Milwaukee and wasn't one to disappoint, dropping 37 points to go with 10 assists, six rebounds and five three-point makes.

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Pickups for Week 5
Week 5 is an interesting turning point in the fantasy season. No, it's not time to start fretting about the playoff picture, but the NBA season has given us a big enough sample size -- roughly a month -- where skeptics begin to slowly pivot into believers and outlier starts to the season -- both...

Alec Burks Struggles With His Shot Against Dallas
Golden State Warriors combo guard Alec Burks was one of the few players on either side who struggled to score the basketball against the Mavericks, registering just 11 points on three of 11 shooting.

Kristaps Porzingis Puts Up Double-Double Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks big man Kristaps Porzingis posted 14 points and 10 rebounds in just 24 minutes of action against the Warriors. He shot just six of 14 from the field, however, and has hit the 50 percent mark just twice this season. The efficiency issues can be frustrating for a guy standing 7-foot-3, but Porzingis... Read More
Eric Paschall Has Another Solid Outing Against Mavericks
Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall posted another productive stat line in Dallas on Wednesday with 22 points and seven rebounds. His overall performance comes with a grain of salt given the exorbitant 40 minutes he played in the blowout loss, but Paschall has been making these types of games the norm. This was his... Read More

Ben Simmons Shows Off Passing Chops Against Cleveland
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons' passing skills were on full display in the win against the Cavs on Sunday afternoon.

Tristan Thompson Nearly Double-Doubles Against the Sixers
Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson came just one rebound shy of his ninth double-double on the season but still managed to finish with 12 points and nine rebounds along with three assists and three blocks.

Joel Embiid Quiet In Limited Minutes Against Cavaliers
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid had a rather pedestrian outing in the blowout win against Cleveland, putting up just 14 points and four rebounds.
