Semi Ojeleye Starting On Tuesday

Boston Celtics forward Semi Ojeleye will get the start with Tristan Thompson out Tuesday against the Utah Jazz. Ojeleye as a starter this season is averaging 10.2 points on 45.7 percent shooting and 4.5 rebounds in 27.2 minutes per game. Ojeleye has also knocked down 2.6 threes on 44.4 percent shooting as a starter. Ojeleye is […]

Elfrid Payton Officially Out Against Sixers

New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) will not play Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Payton was doubtful to play the second half of a back-to-back set after missing Monday so this comes at no surprise. The Knicks will be very shorthanded Tuesday with Derrick Rose (health and safety protocols) and Austin Rivers (personal) […]

Clint Capela And Onyeka Okongwu Out Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks centers Clint Capela (heel) and Onyeka Okongwu (groin) will not play Tuesday against the Houston Rockets. Both players were game-time decisions so they should return to play sooner rather than later. John Collins should shift over to the five with Danilo Gallinari getting another spot start in the absence of Capela. Collins and […]

Christian Wood, Danuel House Jr. Ruled Out Tuesday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) and forward Danuel House Jr. (knee) have been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Hawks. Wood has missed the last six weeks with an ankle sprain- but head coach Stephen Silas didn't rule out the possibility of the star center making his return on Wednesday. House could also […]

Bam Adebayo To Suit Up Against The Cavaliers

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) will suit up against Cleveland on Tuesday. Adebayo had previously tried to play through his knee tendonitis, though the Heat sat him for four games. With the issue seemingly behind him, the 23-year-old should be at full strength with no limitations in a battle against another young, talented center […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/16/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Tuesday, RotoBallers! The NBA trade deadline is just over one week away, and lineups for the second half of the season are about to get weird. Do your best to be prepared for last-second scratches and discounted replacement costs with players on the move. It may not be as prevalent tonight, but we have […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/16/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The NBA was on hiatus, so you missed my normal Tuesday piece last week. If you miss me, I'm still doing other things here at Rotoballer. College basketball has DFS and it's about to overload the NBA for a few days. Not here though. The NBA has center stage with seven games going on. If […]

Wayne Ellington Doubtful Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Wayne Ellington (groin) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with the Raptors. Ellington missed Monday's game, with head coach Dwane Casey saying that he didn't expect it to be a long absence. Should the 33-year-old be forced to sit out once again, Josh Jackson could be in line for some big […]

Jeremy Lamb Questionable Against Brooklyn On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets. Lamb has missed the last two contests with the knee ailment, though he at least has a chance of taking the court for a matchup against one of the East's best. Doug McDermott should again benefit from added opportunities, as should […]

Davis Bertans Off The Injury Report For Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (calf, knee) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Kings. Bertans didn't practice on Tuesday but appears to be in line to suit up against Sacramento, who has allowed the eighth-most made threes per game in the league. The 28-year-old has had a couple of shaky outings […]

Nets Being Cautious With Blake Griffin

Brooklyn Nets forward Blake Griffin (knee) is healthy enough to play but has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers. Head coach Steve Nash said that Griffin is still working up to playing three-on-threes in practice, adding that the team wants to be mindful of his health, particularly the knee issues that have […]

LeBron James, Kyle Kuzma, Markieff Morris Probable Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forwards LeBron James (ankle), Kyle Kuzma (heel), and Markieff Morris (knee) are probable to suit up against the Timberwolves on Tuesday. James' fantasy managers have nothing to worry about, as he has routinely been listed on the injury report and almost consistently suits up every night. Morris is off the fantasy radar, […]

Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet Cleared To Practice

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam and guard Fred VanVleet have been cleared to practice Tuesday after being in the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Malachi Flynn and Patrick McCaw have also been cleared to return. This is big news for a Raptors team that has struggled in the absence of these key contributors. Siakam is listed […]

Tristan Thompson Out Tuesday Against Jazz

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson is out for Tuesday's game against the Jazz. It's unclear whether Thompson has COVID-19 or not, but at any rate, he'll be forced to miss the contest with Utah. Robert Williams III is the likely beneficiary of his absence, as he has averaged 7.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.6 blocks and 0.9 […]

De'Andre Hunter Could Return On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) could play as early as Thursday, according to Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk. He is making fantastic progress from his right knee meniscus surgery. Fantasy managers should check the waiver wire to see if Hunter is still available. He should easily get around 25 minutes per game, and that […]

Davis Bertans Could Miss Wednesday's Game

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (knee, calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He banged up his knee during Monday's game, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Wizards take the cautious approach here. Troy Brown would gain the most fantasy value, assuming Bertans sits out on Wednesday. He'd […]

Tyler Herro Probable For Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (shoulder) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He is dealing with a strained right shoulder, but should be able to play through the issue. Herro dropped 22 points and eight rebounds during his last outing. It sounds like he should be fine for this favorable […]

Elfrid Payton Doubtful To Play Against Sixers

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He missed Monday's game and it's highly unlikely that he suits up here. Payton continues to battle with a lingering hamstring issue, which seem to take quite a while to fully heal. Derrick Rose remains out due […]

Luguentz Dort Questionable For Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (toe) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He missed Sunday's game due to a sprained toe and could very well sit here as well. His absence would mean more minutes for Justin Jackson, but that doesn't mean much for fantasy managers. The trade of […]

Jordan McLaughlin, Jarrett Culver Likely To Sit On Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guards Jordan McLaughlin and Jarrett Culver (toe) are both expected to miss Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. McLaughlin continues to remain sidelined due to the NBA's health and safety protocols. Culver is listed as doubtful, but he has missed four straight games. There is a good chance he remains sidelined once […]

D'Angelo Russell Continues To Be Sidelined

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) won't suit up for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He underwent arthroscopic left knee surgery and his return is likely to be delayed, according to head coach Chris Finch. There were rumors that Russell would begin on-court work last weekend, but that didn't happen. Fantasy managers can […]

Dwight Powell Questionable For Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He sat out of Monday's game due to an illness, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him miss another game. Willie Cauley-Stein and Maximilian Kleber would be asked to soak up the extra minutes. Neither are […]

Jerami Grant Stays Quiet On Monday

Detroit Pistons small forward Jerami Grant had very little success against the Spurs on Monday, finishing a 109-99 loss with 14 points. He shot a decent 4-for-9 from the field but had a horrible night at the foul line with a 5-for-10 effort. Grant's line included one steal and one block but not much else. […]

Jakob Poeltl Has Busy Night Against Detroit

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl posted his fourth double-double of the season and added four blocks, two assists, and one steal in Monday's win over the Pistons. He had a good 14-point, 12-rebound outing in 26 minutes, shooting 6-for-8 from the field. The Austrian center has gotten better through the campaign, and with LaMarcus […]

Dejounte Murray Registers Double-Double In Spurs Win

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray led the team to a 109-99 victory over Detroit on Monday with a 19-point, 10-rebound double-double. He also had six assists and one steal in 33 minutes, while shooting a very good 9-for-13 from the field. Murray is among the best rebounding guards in the league, and he […]

Julius Randle Tallies 33 Points In Loss To Nets

New York Knicks power forward Julius Randle finished Monday's loss to the Nets with a team-high 33 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, and three steals. He shot 13-for-27 from the field and 3-for-6 from downtown in 41 minutes of action. Randle had a terrible seven-point outing in his first game back from the All-Star game, […]
