Seth Curry Out On Friday Night

Portland Trail Blazers guard Seth Curry (knee) is out of Friday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team is calling it a right patellar bone bruise, and he is day-to-day going forward. Curry has seen time at the three perimeter positions, and his absence should open up a few extra minutes for Evan Turner and […]

Draymond Green Will Have Minutes Restriction

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (toe) will be on a minutes restriction, according to head coach Steve Kerr. There is no timetable for how long the limit will last but Kerr did cite Golden State's busy schedule as one of the reasons. The team plays on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Green will start versus […]

Gerald Green Is A Game-Time Decision On Thursday

Houston Rockets guard/forward Gerald Green (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. Green suffered a right ankle sprain last Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs and has been inactive for the previous two games. The Rockets are the first game of the night, meaning DFS owners will have […]

Gary Clark Will Play On Thursday

Houston Rockets forward Gary Clark (hip) will play on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. Clark has been adamant about his availability for tonight's contest, so this doesn't come as surprising news. With Carmelo Anthony no longer active for the Houston Rockets, Clark will see an increased role, but he still isn't worth owning in […]

Danny Green Is Probable For Friday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Danny Green (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Green exited Wednesday's contest with back tightness and did not return in the club's loss. The Celtics are a key game versus a division rival, and it sounds like Green will be in the starting lineup. Check back […]

Omri Casspi Probable For Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Omri Casspi (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. Casspi has missed the team's previous five games due to right knee soreness, and his addition to the lineup will be a welcoming sight for a depleted Grizzlies depth chart. Unfortunately, his return does very little for fantasy […]

Rudy Gay Listed As Active On Thursday

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (heel) will return from his one-game absence on Thursday. Unfortunately, Gay has missed four of his last five contests due to a right heel issue that has been dealing with inflammation, but Wednesday's vacancy from the lineup was purely for precautionary purposes. However, preventive maintenance could become a routine […]

Taurean Prince Listed As Out On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (Achilles) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Prince was dealing with a sprained right ankle recently, but this is the first news we have heard of him struggling with an Achilles issue. Deandre Bembry should see a more significant role tonight and is worth a […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Doesn't Practice Thursday

Charlotte Hornets forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. Beat writer Rick Bonnell believes "the chances of [Kidd-Gilchrist] playing against the 76ers on Saturday are remote at best." The Hornets injury report on Friday should shed better light on the situation. If he isn't able to play, Miles Bridges is the biggest beneficiary.

Brandon Ingram To See Some Time At Point Guard

Los Angeles Lakers guard/forward Brandon Ingram will play some point guard minutes with Rajon Rondo (hand) out three to five weeks. Luke Walton also mentioned Lance Stephenson and Svi Mykhailuk as guys "who can play point guard," as well as LeBron James and Lonzo Ball. What all of this means is that there is no […]

Carmelo Anthony's Tenure With The Rockets Is Over

Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony has seen his brief stop in Houston come to an end. The 34-year-old played in 10 games for Houston, averaging 13.4 points and 5.4 rebounds, but his negative -6.3 plus/minus rating, which was stemmed by his poor defense, was too much for the Rockets to overlook. The Rockets don't plan […]

Avery Bradley Remains Questionable for Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (ankle) remains questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Bradley has missed the last four games, and there is no indication that he'll play in this one. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has moved into the starting lineup and there is a good chance he'll stay there once Bradley is […]

Dewayne Dedmon Ruled Out on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (personal) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This marks the third game in a row that Dedmon has missed. Alex Len (ankle) remains listed as questionable for this contest. Miles Plumlee would draw the start if Len is unable to play as well. Plumlee could […]

Alex Len is Questionable on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len (ankle) remains questionable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was able to play on Tuesday and nothing seemed wrong with Len, so he might be just dealing with soreness. Ankle issues have haunted Len throughout his career. Dewayne Dedmon (personal) has already been ruled out. Miles Plumlee would […]

Marcus Morris is Listed as Questionable

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He sat out of Wednesday's game, so this is clearly something Morris is unable to play through. Semi Ojeleye played 20 minutes off the bench with Morris sidelined on Wednesday. That is likely going to the case once […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is Questionable for Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Jefferson exited early during Wednesday's contest, but this doesn't seem like a serious issue. Jarrett Allen (illness) is also listed as questionable for this contest. DeMarre Carroll and Kenneth Faried would get more involved if Jefferson or Allen sit out.

Jarrett Allen is Questionable on Friday

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Allen has been forced to miss two games with this illness, so it doesn't sound like something he can play through. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (ankle) is questionable as well, so Ed Davis and possibly DeMarre Carroll could gain plenty of playing […]

Mitchell Robinson is Probable for Friday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Robinson tweaked his ankle on Wednesday, but it doesn't sound too serious. He's made a strong impact in the starting lineup and is worth rostering in most formats. Fantasy owners should check back on Friday, but […]

Derrick Jones is Questionable for Friday

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He sat out on Wednesday and it appears he's still dealing with a stomach flu. However, Jones doesn't do enough on the court to make an impact in fantasy leagues. Tyler Johnson, Wayne Ellington, and Josh Richardson would […]

Gary Clark is Listed as Questionable for Thursday

Houston Rockets forward Gary Clark (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. However, Clark said he intend to play through the issue and said directly that he is playing on Thursday. Clark has seen an increase in minutes and value since Carmelo Anthony has been benched. Although, it's not […]

Carmelo Anthony is Not Expected to Play Thursday

Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony (rest) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. It sounds like Melo has already played his last game in Houston. There are rumors that some organizations are interested in him, but Anthony can be dropped in all leagues. It's unclear what kind of role he'd […]

John Collins Ruled Out on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (ankle) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was listed as doubtful, but Collins has been increasing his activities in practice. There is a chance that Collins is ready to play by Saturday. Collins needs to be added if someone dropped him in any leagues.

Derrick Rose Practices on Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Derrick Rose (knee) was able to practice on Thursday and head coach Tom Thibodeau said "he's good." It sounds like Rose will be ready for Friday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. Jeff Teague is healthy again, so Rose is likely going to come off the bench. He's going to lose […]

Rajon Rondo Has Fractured Hand

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo (hand) will have surgery in the next 24 hours on his fractured right hand. He is expected to miss three to five weeks after his surgery. Lonzo Ball is going to benefit greatly from Rondo being sidelined. Josh Hart should gain some value with the second unit as […]

Nikola Vucevic Scores 30 Points Against Sixers

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic scored 30 points on 10-for-19 shooting in Wednesday's win over the 76ers. He added in three three-pointers as well. The veteran big man grabbed eight rebounds to go along with four assists and two steals. Orlando plays the Lakers on Saturday, who are currently allowing the fifth-most points in the […]

Wilson Chandler Performs Well Despite Minutes Restriction

Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler was on a minutes restriction again in Wednesday's meeting with the Magic, but he made the most of his 23 minutes on the court, scoring 14 points on 6-for-10 shooting and adding four rebounds and a steal to the ledger as well. Chandler's ceiling is limited at this point, but […]

J.J. Redick Scores 22 Points Against Orlando

Philadelphia 76ers guard J.J. Redick's time as a sixth man appears to be over after the team's acquisition of Jimmy Butler, and the veteran sharpshooter is already making the most of his expanded role. Against Orlando on Wednesday, Redick scored 22 points on 8-for-13 shooting while also adding in six assists and four rebounds. Philadelphia […]

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA recap.  In this feature, we highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from the previous night's slate of NBA games.

Jimmy Butler Scores 14 Points In Sixers Debut

Philadelphia 76ers forward Jimmy Butler had his debut as a 76er in Wednesday's loss to the Magic, putting up 14 points on 6-for-12 shooting and also adding four rebounds and a pair of assists. It was an encouraging start for Butler, who should continue to see a larger role on this team as the season […]

Joel Embiid Records Triple-Double Against Orlando

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored 19 points on 6-for-20 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Orlando Magic. He was 4-for-7 from three after opening the game 3-for-3 from deep, and he grabbed a team-high 13 rebounds to go along with 10 assists. The numbers hide some of Embiid's offensive struggles after a good first […]
