Luka Doncic Questionable Versus Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Timberwolves. He didn't suit up on Friday night versus Portland because of right ankle swelling. As a result, Kyrie Irving led the way offensively, finishing with a game-high 24 points, adding nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks. Additionally, […]

Ja Morant Questionable For Sunday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Morant is dealing with right shoulder soreness, but has only missed one game since he returned from his suspension. Vince Williams Jr. (foot) started in that one game Morant missed, but he's also questionable for Sunday. That means, […]

D'Angelo Russell Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (tailbone) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Russell has missed the last three games as he works his way back from a tailbone contusion. His absence has opened up a door for Max Christie to have a bigger role in the rotation. […]

Chris Paul Fractures Hand, Needs Surgery

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (hand) was injured in Friday's win over Detroit and was ruled out after logging 24 minutes and finishing with eight points, six boards, and one block. Unfortunately, the team revealed that the 12-time All-Star suffered a fractured left hand and will undergo surgery next week. This isn't an ideal […]

Luka Doncic Sitting Out On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) won't play on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The multi-time All-Star popped up on the injury report on Friday because of a swollen right ankle, although most knew there was a chance he wouldn't be on the floor. That said, without Doncic in the lineup, Kyrie Irving could […]

Andrew Nembhard Won't Play On Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) won't play on Friday night versus the Atlanta Hawks. The 23-year-old injured his back during Monday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks and didn't suit up for the rematch on Wednesday. Although Tyrese Haliburton will see more than enough minutes at the one, others like T.J. McConnell and Bennedict Mathurin […]

Lonnie Walker IV, Dennis Smith Probable For Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Lonnie Walker IV (hamstring) and Dennis Smith Jr. (back) are listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nets have been without Walker since late November. It's a shame because he was playing well before the injury, so hopefully he can provide that spark again once he's […]

Dante Exum, Richaun Holmes Both Ruled Out On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) and center Richaun Holmes (personal) have both been downgraded from doubtful to out on Friday. Given the doubtful tag, this isn't a surprise that they're not playing, but at least the team made it official with plenty of time before the game. This will be their second consecutive game […]

Luka Doncic Appears On Injury Report With Ankle Swelling

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) popped up on the injury report on Friday with right ankle swelling and has been tagged as questionable for their game against the Portland Trail Blazers. If the team decided to hold out Doncic against a weaker opponent while Kyrie Irving was healthy, it wouldn't come as that big […]

Malachi Flynn Questionable To Make Knicks Debut On Friday

New York Knicks guard Malachi Flynn (ankle) has been dealing with an ankle sprain since his last game in Toronto on December 29. After being part of the trade that sent OG Anunoby to the Knicks, Flynn has yet to play, so his role on his new team is unclear at the moment. Flynn was […]

Andrew Nembhard Dealing With Back Sprain On Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (back) has been listed as questionable on the early morning injury report as he deals with a mid-back sprain. This year, Nembhard has seen stretches of injury issues in between spurts of getting starts and minutes off of the bench. His role has been all over the place, so the […]

Week 11: Dynasty Risers And Fallers For Fantasy Basketball

Finally, we have experienced a trade with somewhat bigger names this season! Welcome back, RotoBallers. This week's edition of the dynasty risers and fallers will have a very noticeable theme. When a trade, like the one that happened earlier in the week, takes place, we usually see some sort of shake-up in dynasty leagues along […]

Cole Anthony Removed From Injury Report

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (quad) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This is great news after Anthony sat out Wednesday's double-overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings. There is no word of Anthony being limited, so the expectation is that he'll be fully ready to go. […]

Malaki Branham Doubtful For Thursday's Game

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Malaki Branham (ankle) is unlikely to play Thursday versus Milwaukee. The team has listed him as doubtful for the game after Branham sprained his right ankle in Tuesday's clash with the Grizzlies. Branham played just seven minutes on Tuesday, and the injury ended a nice run of double-digit scoring he had […]

Reggie Jackson Considered Probable Thursday

Denver Nuggets point guard Reggie Jackson (calf) has been listed as probable for Thursday's marquee matchup against the Warriors. The veteran is dealing with tightness in his left calf, but Jackson has been pushing through the issue lately and should also be good to go on Thursday. Jackson has done well in a reserve role […]

Gary Payton II Faces New Spell On The Sidelines

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II is expected to miss several weeks with a left hamstring strain. He has just returned from missing a month with a calf injury, and Payton II, unfortunately, lands back on the shelf after playing only a total of 20 minutes in two games. The 31-year-old has been limited […]

Nuggets vs. Warriors NBA DFS Showdown Slate Picks, Value Plays - Thursday Jan 4th

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! Welcome back to our weekly showdown. Last week, we had a few solid plays, but the value busted. Max Christie really surprised everyone as he crushed his price with only around 1% ownership. Nick Richards was one of the best plays on the board, but Austin Reaves hurt my lineups. We don't […]

Cole Anthony Downgraded To Out

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (quad) has been downgraded to out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The young guard was a late addition to the injury report due to a right quad contusion. It's not shocking to see the Magic taking the cautious approach and holding him out of this game. Anthony […]

Anfernee Simons Returns On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) will return to the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Simons will make his return to the court after a three-game absence due to a lingering illness. His return will shift veteran guard Malcolm Brogdon back to the bench. Although, Brogdon could still have […]

Coby White Will Play On Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (ankle) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. As expected, White will play after being listed as probable heading into this game due to right ankle soreness. He should resume his normal role in the starting five for this game. White has been putting up big […]

Cole Anthony Questionable For Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (quad) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The young guard was not listed on the initial injury report, but was added a few hours before tip-off. The Magic are likely going to wait and see how Anthony feels pregame before making a final decision. […]

Happy New Year, RotoBallers! Welcome back to the Week 11 edition of my weekly fantasy basketball risers and fallers! If things didn't go your way in your fantasy leagues in 2023, don't lose hope! A new year is always a great chance for a fresh start, and you can always use the expert analysis of […]

Dante Exum Doubtful To Play Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland. He tried to play through a right heel contusion on Monday versus Utah, but Exum lasted for only 12 minutes. Jaden Hardy started the second half in Exum's place on Monday, and he will likely maintain the role versus the Trail […]

Anfernee Simons Questionable Against The Mavs

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. The 24-year-old has been under the weather. However, the questionable designation is at least a step in the right direction. At any rate, if Simons misses his fourth consecutive game on Wednesday night, Scoot Henderson or Malcolm Brogdon […]

D'Angelo Russell Not Expected To Play Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (tailbone) isn't expected to play on Wednesday versus the Miami Heat. He's battling a tailbone contusion, so he'll miss a second straight game if he can't get healthy. Head coach Darvin Ham recently sent Russell to the bench, meaning his fantasy ceiling has been significantly lower of late. However, […]

Derrick Rose Won't Return On Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Derrick Rose (thigh) won't return to Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran guard was able to play nine minutes during the first half before exiting due to left thigh soreness. His absence will result in John Konchar and David Roddy getting more run in the rotation. Also, Marcus Smart […]

Markelle Fultz Downgraded To Out

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) has been downgraded to out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The young guard has missed over two months of action while he recovers from left knee tendinitis. The expectation is that Fultz is going to be heavily limited once he does eventually return to the […]

Terry Rozier Will Play On Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. As expected, Rozier will play after being listed as probable heading into this game. The expectation is that he'll move right into the starting five, which will shift Ish Smith back to the bench. Fantasy managers who have Rozier rostered […]

Immanuel Quickley Looks Good In Raptors Debut

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley produced a good all-around performance in his first game for the team on Monday, finishing a 124-121 home victory against Cleveland with 14 points, six rebounds, three assists, and two steals. He hit two shots from outside with five attempts, and Quickley was 5-for-12 overall from the field while having […]

Andrew Nembhard Exits With Sore Back

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard was limited to only eight minutes due to a sore back in Monday's impressive 122-113 road win over Milwaukee. He had a poor outing, contributing only two points and finishing with a team-worst minus-21 rating. Nembhard made his fifth consecutive start in Bruce Brown's (knee) absence, but he might now […]
