Hassan Whiteside Set To Return Friday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside is expected to return for Friday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies, having missed the previous four contests due to personal reasons. Bam Adebayo is likely to be affected most by the return of Whiteside, who should slot right back into the starting center role. While his production can fluctuate on […]

Lou Williams To Miss At Least One Week

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams will be on the shelf for the next one-to-two weeks due to a hamstring injury, head coach Doc Rivers confirmed, taking him out of Tuesday’s contest against the Toronto Raptors.

Nikola Mirotic Ruled Out For Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans small/power forward Nikola Mirotic will miss Wednesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to the right ankle injury that forced him from Monday’s contest versus the Boston Celtics.

Whiteside leads the league in blocked shots per game at 2.91, while also averaging a double-double on the season, leaving owners with a major void in their lineup […]

Emmanuel Mudiay Scores 13 Points In Defeat

New York Knicks point guard Emmanuel Mudiay delivered a 13-point effort in Saturday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets. With Trey Burke (knee) still on the shelf, Mudiay continues to get an extended look, although Frank Ntilikina made his return to the rotation off the bench after a three-game absence. As long as Burke remains out, […]

New York Knicks shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. simply didn’t have it from the field during Saturday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets, finishing with seven points on 2-for-12 shooting.

Allen Crabbe Goes Perfect From Long Range

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Allen Crabbe went 5-for-5 from three-point range during Saturday’s win over the New York Knicks, finishing with 17 points.

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Spencer Dinwiddie had his offensive arsenal working during Saturday’s win over the New York Knicks, finishing with 25 points off the bench on 10-for-17 shooting, adding in six assists for good measure.

In addition, he compiled five rebounds, four assists and two steals, delivering by far his […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Responds With Solid Showing In Loss

Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. bounced back from his scoreless outing Friday to finish with 11 points and eight rebounds during Saturday’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Mike Conley Quiet From Field For Second Straight Night

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley was held down for the second straight night, finishing Saturday’s loss to the Los Angeles Lakers with 12 points, four steals and three assists.

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol posted his fourth consecutive quiet outing, finishing with just 11 points and six rebounds in 28 minutes against the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. Gasol is now averaging 10.5 points and 6.0 rebounds over his last four games, a far cry from the All-Star-like numbers he has produced through the […]

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope hit a season-high four threes during Saturday’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies, finishing with 16 points.

Josh Hart Hits Four Threes In Team-High 36 Minutes

Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Josh Hart logged 36 minutes for the second consecutive night Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies, finishing with 16 points while going 4-for-7 from long range.

Lonzo Ball Posts Clunker In Victory

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball had a brutal night against the stingy Memphis defense Saturday. In 23 minutes of action, Ball shot 2-for-9 from the field, giving him just four points, two assists and two steals, failing to record a rebound for the first time all season.

After just four 20-plus-point […]

LeBron James Scores 20 Points In Near Triple-Double Effort

Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James went for 20 points, nine assists and eight rebounds during Saturday’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies. James has posted just one triple-double this season, but his stat line was also of particular interest due to the fact that it marked just his third game all year without a […]
