RotoBaller NBA Recap: Victor Oladipo Leads Pacers to Victory

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games. Saturday featured a clutch fourth-quarter performance, the return of James Harden and no love lost in the city of brotherly love. Since we are on the topic, let's start in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia […]

Anthony Davis Expected To Play On Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis (elbow) is warming up and expected to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday, according to coach Alvin Gentry. If anything changes between now and tip-off, we will update you on the situation. However, Davis sounds like he will be a full participant with no limitations and can […]

Suns Working On Buying Out Tyson Chandler

The Phoenix Suns are currently in the process of buying out center Tyson Chandler, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Wojnarowski also added that Chandler would sign with the Los Angeles Lakers after he clears waivers. Chandler should gain some value in Los Angeles but will have trouble exceeding over 20 minutes per contest. Richaun […]

Daniel Theis Recovering Quickly

Boston Celtics forward Daniel Theis (foot) has already gotten out of his walking boot after less than a week. Theis initially was supposed to be in the walking boot for two weeks, but he seems to be way ahead of schedule. There is still no timetable for the 26-year-old to return, but he should be […]

Derrick Rose Questionable Against Portland On Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is questionable Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Rose was only able to play five minutes on Friday and was forced out of the contest due to left ankle soreness. Rose has had numerous ankle injuries throughout his career, so it seems likely that the Timberwolves might play things […]

Jeff Teague Out On Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (knee) is out Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers, making it the third consecutive game he has missed while recovering from a bruised knee. Minnesota will be back in action again on Monday, and Teague should be considered questionable for that game. With Derrick Rose (ankle) questionable for Sunday, Tyus […]

T.J. Warren Questionable For Sunday

Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren (back) is questionable to face the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. Warren has been dealing with lower back spasms, and this helps to explain why he only played 23 minutes on Friday. Warren dealt with back pain last season, so it seems likely he will end up sitting out Sunday's contest.

Jaylen Brown Will Play on Saturday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (foot) will play on Saturday night against the Indiana Pacers. As expected, Brown will take the floor after his one-game absence on Thursday. His return will push Semi Ojeleye back to the bench. Brown was averaging 16.5 points per game during his previous two contests. Hopefully, he can continue where […]

Donovan Mitchell Probable For Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is probable for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Mitchell tweaked his hamstring during Wednesday's game, which forced him to sit out the final four minutes of that contest. The 22-year-old also missed Friday's game due to the injury. Stay tuned for any updates as we get closer to […]

Eric Gordon Is Listed As Out For Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (leg) is inactive for Saturday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. Gordon didn't appear to show any signs of an injury Friday night in Brooklyn when he tallied 21 points, so this is probably a precautionary rest on a back-to-back game. James Harden (hamstring) is set to return tonight and will […]

Timofey Mozgov Ruled Out On Sunday

Orlando Magic center Timofey Mozgov (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs due to a sore right knee. Mozgov has been unable to participate in a game this season, but with the Magic focused on getting playing time for their young frontcourt, Mozgov's absence doesn't have an impact on […]

Goran Dragic Ruled Out On Saturday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (toe) will not participate in the team's game against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. Dragic was trending in this direction, as he was sidelined in the Heats previous two practices. Tyler Johnson is expected to draw the start at point guard on Saturday, and Rodney McGruder and Josh Richardson could […]

Kevin Huerter Removed From Injury Report

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) has been removed from the team's injury report and will play in Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. Huerter was initially listed as questionable with an ankle injury, but it appears his status was never really in doubt. In Tuesday's loss to the Cavaliers, the rookie set a career-high […]

Reggie Bullock Out On Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Bullock carried a doubtful designation heading into the contest, so this doesn't come as a surprise. The 27-year-old played just nine minutes on Wednesday before exiting with an ankle injury. Pistons rookie Bruce Brown started the second half […]

Wilson Chandler To Make 76ers Debut Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Wilson Chandler (hamstring) is set to make his debut on Saturday against the Detroit Pistons. While this is encouraging news for Chandler and the 76ers, he is only expected to play roughly 10 minutes during his first contest. Coach Brett Brown indicated he plans on playing Chandler in two five-minute bursts during […]

Tony Parker Plans To Play Saturday

Charlotte Hornets guard Tony Parker (elbow) is dealing with an elbow sprain but plans to play in Saturday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Parker has been brilliant in his previous three games, averaging 19.6 points and 7.6 assists across only 22.3 minutes per contest. The injury appears to have been sustained in Thursday's loss to […]

Jonathan Isaac Sprains Ankle On Friday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) stepped on Boban Marjanovic's foot in Friday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers and was ruled out for the rest of the contest. X-rays on Isaac's sprained right ankle showed no fractures, but it remains unclear how long he will be sidelined. The 21-year-old should be considered day-to-day going […]

Jaylen Brown Wants to Play On Saturday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (foot) is listed as questionable for Saturday's contest against the Indiana Pacers but plans to play. The sore foot kept Brown out of Thursday's win over the Bucks, and while the injury was never deemed to be serious, it is promising news to hear that the 22-year-old wants to return […]

James Harden Is Probable For Saturday

After missing the team's previous three contests, Houston Rockets guard James Harden (hamstring) is set to return to the lineup on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. Harden missed Friday's win over the Brooklyn Nets, but that was mostly due to not wanting to rush the 29-year-old into a back-to-back set. Harden shouldn't have any limitations […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Myles Turner Hosts A Block Party

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games.  Friday featured the NBA champs in action, a bounce-back performance from the Rockets and the return of a superhero, Well, at least the man they call Superman. But let's instead start things off […]

Shaun Livingston Will Miss A Couple More Games

Golden State Warriors guard Shaun Livingston (foot) said on Friday that he expects to miss "a couple more games" before being able to return to the lineup. Livingston has been out for the Warriors past four contests, which includes Friday's win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The long-term goal for Golden State is the playoffs, so they […]

Kawhi Leonard Will Rest Sunday Or Monday

Toronto Raptors forward Kawhi Leonard (rest, foot) will sit out of one of the two back-to-back games on Sunday or Monday. Leonard jammed his foot late in the fourth quarter on Friday, but the day off seems to have more to do with not wanting to play the 27-year-old during back-to-back sets than anything else. […]

Shaun Livingston Officially Out On Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Shaun Livingston (foot) is inactive for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. A recent MRI on Livingston's right foot came back clean, and the Warriors have said he is day-to-day moving forward. Quinn Cook will continue to serve as Stephen Curry's primary backup. Livingston's next opportunity to play will come on […]

Fred VanVleet Active Friday Night

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (toe) is active for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. VanVleet had been out of action since October 22nd due to a nagging toe injury, so it is a good sign that the 24-year-old is ready to get back to work. The Raptors may still choose to keep an eye […]

Boban Marjanovic Draws Start On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers center Boban Marjanovic will draw his first start of the season over Marcin Gortat. The time has come for all the Boban supporters to rejoice. Marjanovic has been exceptional in limited minutes this season, averaging 8.9 points and 4.9 rebounds in just 11.1 minutes per game. The 7-foot-3 big man will be […]

Dwight Howard Will Have No Limitations On Friday

Washington Wizards center Dwight Howard (back) is set to make his season debut Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It is encouraging news to hear that Howard will have no limitations, according to head coach Scott Brooks, but the big man most likely is still experiencing some pain in his back. Howard is a relatively […]

Carmelo Anthony Returns To Bench Role

Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony will move back to the bench on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. The Rockets have been abysmal defensively this season, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Anthony is being demoted to his original role. The 34-year-old may still see some offensive production in the contest tonight, but with […]

James Harden Out On Friday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (hamstring) will not participate in Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Harden had been listed as doubtful all day, so this isn't surprising news. However, the 29-year-old is expected to suit up tomorrow during the second game of the Rockets back-to-back set. Chris Paul will see an added boost in […]

Maurice Harkless Out On Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Maurice Harkless (knee) has been ruled out of Saturday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. Harkless suffered a season-ending injury to his knee last season and didn't participate in this year's preseason. The injury has been lingering on and will be the fourth straight game Harkless has missed. Nik Stauskas and […]

Jonathon Simmons Out On Friday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathon Simmons (wrist) will not play Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Simmons popped up on the injury report after apparently suffering a right wrist bruise in Tuesday's game against the Kings. Simmons had offseason wrist surgery, but the team has said the injury is not related to the operation. While that […]
