Dennis Smith Jr. Uncertain For Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This is not good timing with Ben Simmons (back) sidelined as well. Smith has been the primary backup to Spencer Dinwiddie with Simmons unavailable. Now, Lonnie Walker IV could be asked to play big minutes if Smith […]

Killian Hayes Could Miss Sunday's Game

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (shoulder) may miss Sunday's contest against Toronto. The 22-year-old has played as well as expected this season, averaging 10.2 points, 4.5 assists, and 1.2 steals. However, he's dealing with a shoulder sprain, jeopardizing his availability versus the Raptors. With Monte Morris (quadriceps) still sidelined, Marcus Sasser, averaging 9.1 points this […]

Donovan Mitchell Still Out On Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is out on Sunday against Denver. The 27-year-old is battling a hamstring issue, keeping off the floor for Friday's in-season tournament meeting with the Detroit Pistons. Of course, Darius Garland took on most of the scoring duties in that one, finishing with a game-high 28 points. However, Max Strus […]

Derrick Rose Available On Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Derrick Rose (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran guard will return to the court for the first time since the end of October. He should add some much-needed depth at the guard spot. It's unclear whether or not Rose will be under a minutes limit […]

Stephen Curry Back On Saturday Night

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) will return for Saturday's game against OKC. The veteran missed the previous two games because of a sprained right knee, opening the door for Chris Paul to take on more ball-handling duties. Curry scored 30 points and shot 50% versus the Thunder a few weeks ago, so he […]

Terry Rozier Out Again On Saturday Evening

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (groin) won't play on Saturday against the New York Knicks. The 29-year-old was initially expected to miss a few games. However, he'll now be sidelined for a seventh-straight contest on Saturday night. Gordon Hayward, LaMelo Ball, and P.J. Washington had benefited the most without Rozier in the equation. But Miles […]

De'Aaron Fox Nets 43 Points Against Spurs

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox played a fantastic game against the Spurs on Friday night, posting a season-high 43 points on 14-for-24 shooting.

Fox added eight rebounds and seven assists […]

Gary Payton II Out On Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Gary Payton II (foot) won't play Saturday versus the Thunder.

Payton II has averaged 17.3 minutes off the bench, posting 6.0 points […]

Stephen Curry Might Return On Saturday Night

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is questionable against OKC on Saturday. The 25-year-old veteran has missed his previous two games because of a right knee strain. As a result, Chris Paul has filled the void left in the lineup. If Curry misses another game, Paul should continue to benefit from a statistical standpoint, […]

Marcus Smart Out 3-5 Weeks

According to NBA insider Shams Charania, Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (foot) will be sidelined for three-to-five weeks. The 29-year-old was traded to Memphis in the offseason and has averaged 12.5 points, 5.0 assists, and 2.0 steals in 11 appearances. Unfortunately, he suffered a sprained left foot during Tuesday's meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers, […]

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) is currently dealing with some left knee soreness and has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. According to Dan Savage from orlandomagic.com, the young guard will be a game-time decision on Friday and his injury isn't too serious, seems to be more of a […]

Tre Jones Downgraded To Out Again On Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (hamstring) has now seen two doubtful statuses before the last two games and has been downgraded to out both times. While that isn't surprising news considering he was listed as doubtful in the first place, it seems like he's getting closer to a return from his right hamstring strain […]

Cam Thomas To Be Re-Evaluated Next Week

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle) has been dealing with a more severe ankle sprain than originally thought as he was in a walking boot for a much longer time than anticipated. The young combo guard was the best scorer for the team before he went down with the sprain against the Clippers on November […]

Derrick Rose Should Be Returning "Very Soon"

Memphis Grizzlies guard Derrick Rose (knee) has been out since October 30 due to a knee issue and he was set to be re-evaluated at some point this week. According to Damichael Cole of the Memphis News, Rose should be returning "very soon" which comes as great news for a struggling Grizzlies team that could […]

Joshua Primo, Clippers Agree To Two-Year Deal

Los Angeles Clippers guard Joshua Primo was originally brought in on an unguaranteed deal, but they've now signed him to a two-year deal worth $3.96 million, which is fully guaranteed for the rest of this season and includes $1 million for next season. Primo last played in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs last […]

Malcolm Brogdon Ruled Out Again On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) is set to miss his fourth consecutive game after straining his left hamstring against the Sacramento Kings a week ago. The 30-year-old doesn't have much of a reason to be rushed back as the team is prepared to tank for a better pick in the upcoming draft, so […]

Jose Alvarado Upgraded To Doubtful Against Nuggets

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (ankle) hasn't played since February, so being upgraded to doubtful is bigger news than it normally would be for anyone else. The 25-year-old has been an important piece to the Pelicans' bench and has been a solid contributor in deeper leagues with his threes, points, assists, and steal totals. […]

Tre Jones Doubtful To Return On Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (hamstring) has been tagged as doubtful for the team's in-season tournament game against the Sacramento Kings on Friday as he continues to deal with a right hamstring strain.

Devin Vassell Ruled Out On Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (groin) will miss the team's in-season tournament game on Friday night due to left-groin tightness, which is what forced him to miss a couple of games a bit earlier in the season. This is likely a precautionary move so that he doesn't aggravate the injury. While Vassell is out […]

Darius Garland Questionable Again For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (neck) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. Garland missed four games at the start of the season with a hamstring issue. However, he's now battling a neck strain, which could keep him off the floor for a second consecutive contest. With Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) also questionable, the […]

Donovan Mitchell Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is listed as questionable heading into Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Cavs could be shorthanded in this game with fellow guard Darius Garland (neck) also listed as questionable to play.

Gabe Vincent To Be Re-Evaluated In Two Weeks

Los Angeles Lakers guard Gabe Vincent (knee) hasn't appeared in a game since the end of October. However, Vincent is progressing well in his recovery from a left knee effusion.

Damian Lillard Drops 37 Points On Toronto

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Damian Lillard was a bad man against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, posting a big double-double with 37 points and 13 assists. He shot 9-for-18 from the field with a 4-for-10 record from deep and did a great job getting to the free-throw line, hitting 15-for-16 at the charity stripe. In […]

Stephen Curry Officially Ruled Out For Thursday

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry (knee) will miss a second consecutive game Thursday versus the Thunder.

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! Welcome back to our weekly showdown. Last week, we nailed the Dejounte Murray fade but not having any Jalen Suggs is what killed us.

Shaedon Sharpe Will Play Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (knee) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
