Brandon Miller Doubtful Against Bulls On Monday

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The second-year wing returned from a three-game absence to play against the Wizards, but then was sidelined again in their last outing against the Thunder on Saturday. It looks like he'll have to miss another game due to […]

Josh Giddey Considered Probable Monday

Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (ankle) returned from a four-game absence to play in the team's last game on Saturday. He's still on the injury report with the ankle sprain, but he's considered probable to play again on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. On Saturday, he posted 23 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, […]

Jordan Poole Draws A Questionable Tag For Monday

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (hip) is questionable heading into Monday's rematch with the Knicks. The 25-year-old wasn't available when these clubs met on Saturday because of a hip contusion. As a result, Justin Champagnie handled things on the scoring end, finishing with a career-high 31 points with 10 rebounds and two steals. If Poole […]

Jalen Brunson Questionable Versus The Wizards

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (calf) is questionable for Monday's meeting with Washington. The veteran carried the same designation heading into Saturday's game against the Wizards, the first of back-to-back contests between the clubs. However, it didn't stop him from finishing with 55 points. With that said, there's a good chance Brunson will be […]

Andre Drummond Questionable Again On Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) is questionable heading into Monday's meeting with the Blazers. The veteran has a sprained left toe, keeping him off the floor for Philadelphia's previous two contests. With Joel Embiid (face, foot) uncertain to play, Drummond could be on tap to start versus a Portland team that has struggled against […]

Joel Embiid Uncertain To Face Portland

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot, face) is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers. The sinus fracture is nothing new. However, Embiid's left foot sprain could jeopardize his availability for Monday night. Andre Drummond (toe), who is questionable, is worth streaming if Embiid isn't out there, especially against a Portland squad that lacks […]

LaMelo Ball Not Expected To Play On Monday

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Bulls. The 23-year-old is having the best season of his career from a statistical standpoint, averaging 30.1 points with 7.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.3 steals. However, he's missed nine of Charlotte's 31 games this season. With Brandon Miller (ankle) also not […]

Ayo Dosunmu Doubtful Versus The Hornets

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (calf) is listed as doubtful for Monday's matchup with the Hornets. It was recently reported the 24-year-old would miss at least 10 days. However, the doubtful designation indicates he has a chance of suiting up on Monday evening. But fantasy managers shouldn't expect to Dosunmu on the floor after he […]

Cameron Johnson Exits Sunday's Meeting With Orlando

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (hip) didn't return to Sunday's loss to the Magic. The former Tar Heel is having a career-year, averaging 19.5 points and shooting 42.9% from behind the arc. He has also missed only two games after appearing in only 58 contests during the 2023-24 campaign. But with Johnson now dealing with […]

Jalen Suggs Injured On Sunday Afternoon

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (wrist) didn't return to Sunday's narrow win over the Nets. The 23-year-old logged only 13 minutes versus Brooklyn, finishing with eight points. Fortunately, the Magic don't play again until Wednesday in Detroit. But Orlando is already without Moritz Wagner (knee), Paolo Banchero (oblique), and Franz Wagner (oblique), so adding Suggs […]

Cameron Johnson Will Play On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. Johnson is back in the mix after missing their last game due to a right hip contusion. He has been the primary scoring option with Cam Thomas (hamstring) sidelined for the last few weeks. However, Thomas is back for Sunday's […]

Cam Thomas Returning On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. Thomas is back in the mix after missing the last 13 games due to a strained left hamstring. The assumption is that Thomas is going to be operating under a minutes limit during his first game back. That being said, […]

Shake Milton Lands With Lakers

The Brooklyn Nets have traded guard Shake Milton and forward Dorian Finney-Smith to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. In exchange, the Nets will receive guard D'Angelo Russell, forward Maxwell Lewis, and three second round picks. This was a good time to trade Milton after back-to-back solid performances. The 28-year-old probably won't be anything more […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Headed To Lakers

The Brooklyn Nets have traded forward Dorian Finney-Smith and guard Shake Milton to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. In exchange, the Nets will receive guard D'Angelo Russell, forward Maxwell Lewis, and three second round picks. It's not shocking to see the rebuilding Nets move the 31-year-old forward. Finney-Smith doesn't put up flashy stats, but […]

D'Angelo Russell Traded To Nets

The Los Angeles Lakers have traded guard D'Angelo Russell, forward Maxwell Lewis, and three second-round picks to the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. In exchange, forward Dorian Finney-Smith and guard Shake Milton will head to the Lakers. Russell has seen his playing time and production take a hit this season. He's averaging 12.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, […]

It’s great to be back in the swing of things in the NBA, RotoBallers. In these articles, I focus on the top plays, traditionally geared toward cash games. However, with over a decade of NBA DFS experience under my belt—and as someone who rarely dives into cash formats—I'm selecting picks that also typically come with […]

LeBron James Ruled Out On Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The superstar forward was questionable coming into this game, but will sit out as the Lakers want to take the cautious approach here. Both Cam Reddish and Dalton Knecht should see expanded roles with James sidelined. […]

Isaiah Stewart Active For Saturday

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (knee) is active ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Stewart is back in the lineup after missing each of the last four games due to a hyperextended knee. His return to the lineup means that Paul Reed will see a reduced role and possibly fall out of the […]

Andre Drummond Downgraded To Out

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) has been downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. This was an interesting turns of events considering Drummond started the day as probable, but now won't suit up for Saturday's game. Normally, Drummond's status wouldn't mean much, but starting center Joel Embiid (foot) remains uncertain […]

Toumani Camara Unavailable On Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Camara will miss his first game of the season due to a left foot sprain. His absence leaves a decent sized hole to fill given Camara is averaging 30 minutes per game. Fellow forward Deni Avdija (back) […]

Robert Williams III Remains Out On Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The big man is set to miss his third game in a row due to a right ankle sprain. His absence isn't going to mean a ton with Deandre Ayton and Dovonan Clingan both healthy […]

Jamal Murray Upgraded To Available

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Murray is dealing with an ankle sprain, but has been able to play nearly 40 minutes in each of the last two games. It doesn't appear to be something that is going to cause Murray to […]

Draymond Green To Play On Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (back) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Green is returning to the lineup after sitting out Friday's game due to a lower back contusion. The return of Green should mean that Kyle Anderson heads back to the bench after playing 15 minutes on Friday. Green […]

Stephen Curry Available On Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The veteran guard sat out of Friday's contest versus the Los Angeles Clippers due to knee management. However, Curry is back in the mix for the second game of the back-to-back set. He figures to handle his regular […]
