RotoBaller NBA Recap: Victor Oladipo Banks In Game-Winning Three

Friday's 10-game slate featured a game-winner out in Chicago, a PG-13 performance that very well could have been given an X rating, and a letdown in Hollywood.

Thursday nights in the NBA always feature a notoriously light schedule, which means the games that are actually being played better be good to keep it from being a disappointing night.

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Gordon Hayward Shoots The Lights Out

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Moment of Silence for Ayton's Ankles

First and foremost, I'd like to express my sincerest condolences to Deandre Ayton for the loss of his ankles... Sheesh. Praying he has a speedy recovery.

There were about four minutes left in the first quarter of Tuesday night's commencement between the Hawks and Hornets.
