Trae Young Sidelined Indefinitely

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (head) was diagnosed with a concussion and is sidelined indefinitely. The 25-year-old didn't suit up for Friday's one-point win over the Miami Heat because of an illness. However, he returned for Saturday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers, although he exited midway through the fourth quarter after accidentally getting hit in […]

Jrue Holiday Sidelined Versus Houston

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) won't play on Sunday against the Houston Rockets. He's been dealing with a sprained elbow for weeks, so fantasy managers could be without him at times until the issue is resolved. Unfortunately, the former Buck has averaged only 13.1 points this season, a significant step down from the 2022-23 […]

Scoot Henderson Questionable For Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (nose) is considered questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The rookie guard suffered a nose contusion during the second quarter of Friday's game. It doesn't sound like something that is going to sideline Henderson in the long term. His absence would mean increased playing time […]

Anfernee Simons Considered Questionable For Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Simons sat out of Friday's game due to an illness, and it appears he's not over it yet. Matisse Thybulle started in his place on Friday and that will likely be the case once again, […]

Andrew Nembhard Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) is considered questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Nembhard has missed each of the last two games due to a spine sprain. His status normally isn't overly important, but starting guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is questionable as well for this game. That being said, T.J. McConnell […]

Tyrese Haliburton Uncertain For Sunday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is listed as questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Haliburton made his return to court on Friday after missing nearly two weeks of action. He played 35 minutes in that contest, so possibly the Pacers are just being cautious with their star guard. Andrew Nembhard (spine) […]

Ayo Dosunmu Available Against Memphis

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) will play on Saturday versus the Chicago Bulls. He was listed as probable, so fantasy managers weren't too concerned about his availability against the shorthanded Grizzlies. At any rate, Zach LaVine (ankle) could be out a few weeks, meaning there will be minutes and scoring opportunities up for grabs. […]

Trae Young Good To Go On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (illness) will play on Saturday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 25-year-old has been under the weather, and he wasn't in the lineup for Friday's win over the Miami Heat. However, he is good to go, so he can be added back to all fantasy lineups. Young has played well against […]

Trae Young Could Miss Second Consecutive Game

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (illness) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Young didn't play in Friday's win over the Miami Heat, opening the door for Dejounte Murray, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Jalen Johnson to lead the way on the scoring end. But with Bogdanovic also uncertain for Saturday's game because of right […]

LaMelo Ball Questionable On Saturday Night

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the visiting 76ers. The Hornets were in action on Friday night against the San Antonio Spurs, with Ball logging 32 minutes and finishing with 28 points. But the 22-year-old is dealing with soreness in his right ankle, the same one he injured at […]

Ayo Dosunmu On Track To Play Saturday

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) has been listed as probable for Saturday's meeting with Memphis. He's having trouble with his left shoulder and was forced to exit Monday's game against Cleveland early. However, Dosunmu had no trouble putting in a 32-minute shift against Toronto on Thursday, so the injury apparently isn't too serious. The […]

Tyrese Haliburton Officially Active On Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is officially active for Friday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers. The 23-year-old tweaked his hamstring during the January 8 matchup against the Boston Celtics, keeping him out of the lineup for Indiana's last five contests. Haliburton had indicated on Friday that he'd be good to go. However, things […]

Cade Cunningham Expected To Return In A Week

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) is expected to return to action in five to seven days after being cleared for basketball activities, the team announced on Friday. The former number-one overall pick has missed each of the last five games with a knee strain and will be out for the next two games but […]

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Not Expected To Play Friday

Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) is listed as doubtful on the NBA Injury Report, and he isn't expected to make his return on Friday against the Hawks. The 22-year-old rookie has missed each of the last two games with this injury and will likely miss a third. When he was healthy, the rookie […]

Trae Young Out With Illness Friday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (illness) will miss the team's Friday matchup with the Heat in Miami. The star point guard will miss his first game since December 8th, where Bogdan Bogdanovic moved into the starting lineup, and Patty Miles saw increased run off the bench. Wesley Matthews (calf) has also been ruled out […]

Bennedict Mathurin Drops 25 Points In Win

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin received his second straight start on Thursday night against the Sacramento Kings. The Pacers were shorthanded with Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) sidelined and Bruce Brown being traded to the Toronto Raptors. Mathurin made the most of it by hitting 11-of-21 shots from the floor for 25 points in the win. He […]

Bennedict Mathurin To Play On Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (ankle) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Mathurin is back after missing Monday's contest due to a left ankle sprain. He's expected to have an increased role with Aaron Nesmith (shin) sidelined and Bruce Brown being traded to the Toronto Raptors. It's uncertain whether Mathurin or […]

Cason Wallace Moves Into Starting Five

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Cason Wallace will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. The rookie guard will make his seventh start of the season with Luguentz Dort (illness) sidelined. A move to the starting unit is normally good news for a player's fantasy value. However, Wallace probably won't […]

Tre Mann Available On Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Tre Mann (illness) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. Mann was one of four players on this team added to the injury report due to an illness. Mann has been cleared to play, but there's no guarantee he gets much action during this contest. He sat out […]

Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves NBA DFS Showdown Slate Picks, Value Plays - Thursday, January 18

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! Welcome back to our weekly showdown. As expected last week was a blowout and I had switched one player the lineups I had sent would have cashed, this one looms as another potential blowout but if the Pistons can keep it close then I believe anyone can.

Luka Doncic Returns With 30-Point Triple-Double

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic put together a big comeback performance on Wednesday against the Lakers, returning to the lineup with a triple-double. Dallas struggled and went down 127-110 in Los Angeles, but Doncic had fun all night and piled up 33 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists. He logged 36 minutes and also […]

Ayo Dosunmu Questionable For Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Toronto. He's dealing with a left shoulder issue, which limited Dosunmu to only a 19-minute outing on Monday versus Cleveland. However, according to Bulls head coach Billy Donovan, Dosunmu is "totally fine" after undergoing imaging on his shoulder. The young guard […]

Tyrese Haliburton Holds Questionable Tag

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This is surprising news given that Haliburton had a timetable of at least two weeks and that was 10 days ago. It sounds like Haliburton is making great progress and is on the verge of being cleared […]

Malcolm Brogdon Will Suit Up On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (groin) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran guard was uncertain coming into this game due to groin soreness. His presence is a welcoming sight for the Blazers as Brogdon has played a significant role lately with the team shorthanded. He's expected to come […]

Anfernee Simons Will Play Versus Nets

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This is good news after Simons was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. Luckily, it was a minor issue and Simons should resume his normal role in the rotation. Simons has played a […]

Luka Doncic Available On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The superstar guard will make his return to the court after missing each of the last three games. There is no word on Doncic being limited, so the assumption is that he'll have his normal workload. The return […]

Jrue Holiday Listed As Questionable Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Spurs. Holiday continues to nurse a right elbow sprain he suffered late last month. However, he has been pushing through the injury and has yet to miss a game since the turn of the year. It appears likely that […]

Gary Trent Jr. Questionable For Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami. He's been struck by an illness and couldn't play Monday versus Boston. Now, Gary Trent Jr. might have to sit out a second consecutive content. The 24-year-old is averaging close to 26 minutes a night off the Toronto bench this season […]
