15 hours agoCharlotte Hornets forward
Dwayne Bacon (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Bacon didn't play on Wednesday and was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. However, the team believes the knee issue is minor and Bacon should be fine going forward. Bacon could end up coming off the bench, so he's really only worth a look in deep leagues.

15 hours agoAtlanta Hawks guard
Kevin Huerter (shoulder) is expected to miss significant time after suffering an injury. Head coach Lloyd Pierce said "it's going to take some time" for Huerter to get back on the court. The MRI didn't reveal a tear, but the Hawks will remain cautious.
Cam Reddish and
Deandre Bembry will get boosted minutes from this. Both players are worth looking at in deep leagues.

15 hours agoBrooklyn Nets guard
Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. However, the Nets might play it safe, so fantasy owners shouldn't plug him in just yet.
Spencer Dinwiddie would be looking at heavy minutes without Irving and be a popular DFS option. More information should be known about Irving's status after shootaround.

18 hours agoOrlando Magic center
Nikola Vucevic scored 25 points on 11-for-18 shooting from the field and 2-for-4 from three-point range in Wednesday's 112-97 victory against the 76ers. The 29-year-old added 12 rebounds, two assists, a +14 rating and only one turnover in 33 minutes of action. Through 11 games, Vucevic is averaging 17.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.8 steals while extending his double-double streak to five straight games — and should be started in all fantasy formats for his all-around production.

18 hours agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard
Ben Simmons finished with 18 points, eight rebounds, five assists, and two turnovers in Wednesday's 112-97 loss to the Magic. Simmons went 9-for-12 from the field, marking the most field goals he has made in a game since the season opener against the Celtics. Simmons is yet to attempt a three-pointer through nine games, but the 23-year-old is averaging 13.9 points, 6.6 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 2.6 steals while shooting 55% from the field, making him a must start candidate in all formats.

18 hours agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard/forward
Josh Richardson finished with a team-high 19 points on 7-for-14 shooting from the field in Wednesday's 112-97 loss to the Magic. The 26-year-old added six rebounds, five assists, two three-pointers and one steal in 29 minutes of action. Through 11 games this season, Richardson is averaging 14.2 points, 4.4 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals and a 41% field goal percentage in a starting role for one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference — making him worth owning in all formats.

23 hours agoWashington Wizards point guard
Isaiah Thomas enjoyed his return to the TD Garden on Wednesday, scoring 18 points and dishing out seven assists in a 140-133 loss. He shot 7-for-14 from the field, including a very good 3-for-6 from downtown. Thomas had managed just 21 points in total in the previous two games, so this will be a nice little confidence booster for him ahead of Friday's clash with Minnesota. It's a great matchup for Thomas, as the Timberwolves are giving up the second-most points per 48 minutes to opposing point guards this season.

23 hours agoWashington Wizards shooting guard
Bradley Beal scored 44 points on Wednesday against Boston, but it wasn't enough to lead the team to victory. He was red-hot in the eventual 140-133 loss, going 17-for-27 from the field and 4-for-6 from three-point range. Beal also had six assists and five rebounds in his second 40-point game of the season. The 26-year-old is set for another career year, even if the team lacks quality and isn't going anywhere. He'll face the T-Wolves next in a matchup against a side that's allowing the opposition to shoot close to 40 percent from deep this season.

23 hours agoBoston Celtics guard/forward
Jaylen Brown produced another solid outing on Wednesday against Washington, scoring 22 points on 9-for-19 shooting in a 140-133 win. Brown missed all three of his attempts from deep, but he did add five rebounds, four assists and one steal to his line. The 22-year-old has now tallied at least 20 points in three consecutive games and he's averaging 20.1 points for the season with 6.7 rebounds and a pair of assists. He should be able to continue his good scoring run on Friday against the Warriors, who are giving up 121.1 points per game.

23 hours agoBoston Celtics forward
Jayson Tatum, who scored only five points in Monday's win over Dallas, returned to form on Wednesday, notching 23 points in a 140-133 win against Washington. He still struggled from deep with a 1-for-5 record, but his overall shooting was fine at 9-for-20. Tatum also had his third consecutive game with four assists, while adding three rebounds to his line as well. His three-point percentage (40.3) is actually better than his overall efficiency (39.7 percent) at the moment, so Tatum's shooting has been very inconsistent this season. Despite the struggles, he's still putting points on the board and posting another 20-plus point effort shouldn't be a problem in the next matchup against the Warriors, who own a league-worst 117.2 defensive rating.

23 hours agoBoston Celtics point guard
Kemba Walker scored a team-high 25 points in Wednesday's win over Washington, doing most of the damage from deep with a 6-for-12 success rate. He shot 8-for-17 overall from the field and 3-for-3 at the line, adding five rebounds and five assists without a single turnover. Kemba has now shot at least 50 percent from downtown in back-to-back outings and he's shooting 48.4 percent from deep for the month. He's rolling right now and look for him to produce another big night on Friday against the struggling Warriors and the defensively suspect
D'Angelo Russell.

1 day agoLos Angeles Clippers guard
Lou Williams eclipsed the 20-point barrier for the ninth time in 11 games this season. His final box score of 20 points, a season-high seven rebounds and four assists will be welcomed by all fantasy managers. One has to wonder how long this product can last, though, as
Paul George is expected back as soon as Thursday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Williams has been great through the first four weeks of the fantasy basketball season, but if another owner wants to buy him at his peak right now, Williams owners would be silly to not at least listen to the offer. Having two alpha dogs like
Kawhi Leonard and George is sure to take a chunk out of Williams' workload. Basketball fans will hopefully be able to see Williams' new role as the Clippers close out Week 4 with games against the Pelicans and Atlanta Hawks.

1 day agoFor the third straight game and fourth time in the last five games, Los Angeles Clippers forward
Kawhi Leonard posted a double-double. In Wednesday's loss to the Houston Rockets, Kawhi recorded 26 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 41 minutes. Leonard is still waiting for his running mate
Paul George to make his Clippers debut, but he has put up great numbers in his nine games so far this season. He is averaging 26.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and is shooting 44.4% from the field to get the Clippers off to a 7-4 start. Load-management issues may prevent Kawhi from playing on Thursday night in New Orleans, so managers should keep their eyes glued to the RotoBaller injury news before Thursday's game.

1 day agoHouston Rockets center
Clint Capela recorded 12 points and 20 rebounds in the win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night. Capela grabbed 20 rebounds for the third straight game and became the first Rocket to achieve that statistical feat since Moses Malone in 1982. Capela left the game in the fourth quarter after getting hit in the face to end his night at "only" 20 rebounds. The Swiss big man is now averaging 11.8 points and 13.3 rebounds in November as he recovers from a slow start this season. Fantasy managers should keep their ear to the ground or their eyes on their social media feed to determine Capela's status heading into a matchup against the Indiana Pacers on Friday night.

1 day agoHouston Rockets guard
Russell Westbrook committed four fouls in the first quarter and could not find a rhythm the entire night in a 102-93 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. Westbrook had season-lows with two rebounds and two assists and needed 20 shots to get his 17 points. It was a forgettable night for the new Rocket, who is clearly still adjusting to his new role as the second offensive option in the Houston offense. His November numbers have dipped from his frantic October pace, but Westbrook is still very valuable in fantasy. Westbrook and the Rockets take on the Indiana Pacers on Friday, but that will not be an easy game to get his statistics back on track. The Pacers are the toughest team in the NBA against opposing point guards.
