Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Andrew Wiggins had his offensive arsenal working during Sunday’s victory over the Miami Heat, accruing a team-high 25 points on 9-for-18 shooting.

Justise Winslow Pads Stat Sheet Across 43 Minutes

Miami Heat point guard/small forward Justise Winslow has been the primary beneficiary of the team’s chaotic start to the season, finding himself as the lead dog on multiple occasions.

Karl-Anthony Towns Racks Up Double-Double In Win

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns delivered another double-double during Sunday’s win over the Miami Heat. By Towns’ absurd standards to open the year, the 23-point, 11-rebound outing seems almost pedestrian, even as he stroked four three-pointers and added four assists and two steals. Minnesota’s big man will get the chance to square off with another […]

Harry Giles Could Make Season Debut Monday

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Harry Giles has yet to take the floor during the 2019-20 season and has his status for Monday’s game against the Denver Nuggets up in the air due to a sore left knee.

Julius Randle Collects Third Consecutive Double-Double

New York Knicks power forward/center Julius Randle parlayed his excellent stretch of play in 2018-19 into a new deal this offseason.

Jayson Tatum Nearly Tallies Double-Double During Win

Boston Celtics small/power forward Jayson Tatum finished just one rebound shy of a double-double during his team’s win over the New York Knicks on Saturday. That’s the good news.

Mitchell Robinson Perfect From Floor In 20-Minute Stint

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson was not a full go for Saturday’s loss to the Boston Celtics, but he impacted the game in a major way regardless.

De'Aaron Fox Cleared To Suit Up Saturday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox had his status for Saturday’s contest against the Utah Jazz up in the air for much of the day, but the team determined him and his sore left hip good to go shortly prior to tip-off.

Harry Giles To Be Sidelined Saturday

The Sacramento Kings will be without power forward/center Harry Giles for Saturday’s contest against the Utah Jazz due to a sore left knee.

Kevon Looney Slated To Miss Duo Of Contests

Golden State Warriors power forward/center Kevon Looney appeared on line to participate in Sunday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but a “neuropathic condition” with his right hamstring will keep him on the shelf for at least the next two contests.
