2024-25 Fantasy Basketball December Risers and Fallers

Welcome back, RotoBallers, to the second edition of my monthly fantasy basketball risers and fallers series for the 2024-2025 season! We're now preparing for the start of the trade season, with players such as Jimmy Butler on the trade block. If things haven't gone your way yet in your fantasy leagues, don't lose hope! Every […]

Jimmy Butler Reportedly Open To A Move To Phoenix

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler is reportedly open to a trade involving the Suns. There are a few teams already rumored to be interested in his services. But if talks between Miami and Phoenix intensify, it's unknown exactly how both sides would make it happen, considering both are strapped for […]

Scottie Barnes To "Miss Several Weeks"

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (ankle) will "miss several weeks" due to a right ankle sprain suffered in Monday's loss to the New York Knicks. The 23-year-old already spent time on the shelf this season because of a right orbital fracture, costing him 11 games, so it's not an ideal […]

Andrew Wiggins On Track To Return On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is expected to return to the lineup on Wednesday versus Houston. He missed Sunday's matchup against Minnesota with an ankle issue. Officially, Wiggins has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's action. However, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr declared Wiggins is "ready to go" after he had a full […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Wednesday 12/11/24): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The quarterfinals of the in-season tournament continue tonight with two more matchups. The Knicks host the Hawks in the Eastern Conference, while the Warriors face a very good Houston team in the Western Conference. I recommend some higher-priced players for cash games and GPPs in today's edition while highlighting some of my favorite value plays […]

Fred VanVleet Expected To Return On Wednesday

Houston Rockets point guard Fred VanVleet (knee) appears ready to rejoin the action on Wednesday versus Golden State. He missed Sunday's 117-106 win against the Clippers with a knee contusion but isn't on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game. VanVleet's most recent appearance came against the Warriors, and it was a struggle for him […]

Alperen Sengun Questionable For Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (knee) is considered questionable for Wednesday's NBA Cup matchup against Golden State. He's dealing with a sore left knee and might be out for the first time this season. With backup center Steven Adams (knee) also questionable for the contest, Houston's frontcourt could be very thin against the Warriors. Jabari […]

De'Andre Hunter Likely To Feature Against Knicks

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been labeled as probable ahead of Wednesday's NBA Cup game against the Knicks. Hunter continues to manage a knee injury, and he took a blow to the head in Sunday's loss to Denver, but the 27-year-old is set to make a 12th consecutive appearance. Atlanta has seen the […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) has a questionable designation on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Knicks. A quadriceps contusion might keep Bogdanovic off the court for the second straight game. Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci get extra work with Bogdanovic out, but neither was productive in Sunday's heavy […]

Jalen Johnson Carries A Questionable Tag

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) might miss a second straight game on Wednesday versus the Knicks. He's been listed as questionable on the injury report. Following back-to-back double-doubles, Johnson exited the lineup on Sunday against Denver due to a sore shoulder. This pushed Larry Nance Jr. to the starting lineup for only the second […]

Josh Hart Iffy For Wednesday's Cup Game

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against Atlanta. He might miss his first game of the season because of an ankle sprain. New York's bench mob, featuring Miles McBride, Cameron Payne, and Precious Achiuwa, will likely be more involved in the game if Hart doesn't get […]

DraftKings NBA DFS Picks for Today (Wednesday, 12/11/24): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

A lighter week of NBA action continues this Wednesday with our second straight night with a two-game slate. After the Bucks and Thunder advanced on Tuesday, the other two spots in the NBA Emirates Cup final four will be set on Wednesday. The Hawks visit the Knicks in the first game of the night with […]

CBB DFS: DraftKings Daily Fantasy College Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (12/11/24)

We have another busy night tonight, but not as many marquee matchups. That's the nature of college basketball in December. We start in Queens with St. John's hosting Bryant. Louisville hosts UTEP. Dartmouth travels to South Bend to take on the Irish. Fairleigh-Dickinson is in Philly to take on Villanova. Eastern Kentucky heads up to […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Expected To Face Atlanta

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is probable heading into Wednesday's matchup versus the Atlanta Hawks. KAT wasn't available for Saturday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. However, he was back on the floor for the win over the Toronto Raptors on Monday evening, finishing with a massive 24 points, 15 rebounds, two blocks, and […]

Trae Young Probable Again For Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is expected to play on Wednesday in New York. The former Sooner is on the injury report because of right Achilles Tendinitis. However, this injury isn't anything new, so he should play barring a setback. Young has averaged just 20.9 points and shot 31.0% from behind the arc, both […]

P.J. Washington Won't Suit Up Versus OKC

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (illness) won't play on Tuesday versus Oklahoma City. The former Hornet isn't feeling well, so he'll get a night off. Fortunately for Dallas, Naji Marshall (illness) is back from a four-game absence, which will help lessen the blow. Marshall will likely start in Washington's place, with the 26-year-old averaging 13.1 […]

Naji Marshall Returning On Tuesday Night

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) will play in Tuesday's game against OKC. He was under the weather, keeping him off the floor for the Mavs' previous four contests. But Marshall's return comes at the perfect time, with P.J. Washington (illness) and Maxi Kleber (illness) sidelined for Tuesday's meeting with the Thunder. The 26-year-old has […]

Lonzo Ball Has Minutes Restriction Increased

Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball is set to play a larger part in the rotation going forward. Per Julia Poe of The Chicago Tribune, Bulls head coach Billy Donovan has said that Ball's minutes restriction has been elevated to 20 minutes. After missing 33 months because of a knee injury, Ball has been on […]

Jaden Hardy Misses Second Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) will be out of the lineup for a second straight game on Tuesday versus Oklahoma City. The 22-year-old is nursing a right ankle sprain. Hardy hasn't played a consistent role in the Mavericks rotation, and his absence will not have a big impact on Tuesday. Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin […]

Naji Marshall Considered Questionable For Tuesday's Cup Action

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) is considered questionable for Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against Oklahoma City. He's already missed four games because of an illness. There appears to be an illness bug going around in the Mavericks locker room. P.J. Washington (illness) is also considered questionable for Tuesday's game with an illness, and Maxi […]

Jaylin Williams Remains Out On Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Jaylin Williams (hamstring) will miss another contest on Tuesday against Dallas. He's yet to play this season due to a right hamstring strain. It's unclear when Williams will be ready to return to the lineup. The 22-year-old would add an extra frontcourt option to the Thunder, although playing opportunities have dried […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Returns With Winning Performance

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns recorded a big double-double in Monday's 113-108 win over Toronto as he returned from a one-game absence. Towns initially struggled to score but finished the contest with a team-high 25 points and had the final five points in the game, including a three-point dagger. He finished 2-for-5 from behind […]

X-Rays On Scottie Barnes' Ankle Negative

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (ankle) suffered his second injury of the season in Monday's 113-108 loss to the Knicks, but there was some good news: initial X-rays on Barnes' right ankle/foot came back negative. He will be further evaluated on Tuesday. Barnes missed 11 games earlier in the season due to an orbital bone […]

Immanuel Quickley To Get Additional Testing

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (elbow) is scheduled to get more imaging done next week. It has been a month since Quickley went down with a partial torn UCL in his left elbow. The team hasn't given a timetable for his return, but there should be more information after the additional imaging is done. That […]

Maxi Kleber Won't Play On Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kleber will miss his second game in a row due to an illness. He remains day-to-day, but his absence won't have a huge impact on the rotation. Kleber has only been playing 17 minutes per game, […]

P.J. Washington Could Miss Tuesday's Game

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Washington appears to have picked up a minor illness, so fantasy managers will likely have to wait to see how he feels closer to tip-off. The Mavs could be shorthanded for this game with Maxi […]
