Dalano Banton Questionable Against Dallas

Toronto Raptors guard Dalano Banton (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's encounter with the visiting Mavericks. With Fred VanVleet (illness) also questionable, Banton should be in line for more work. The 23-year-old has played well this season. However, he's averaged 16.0 points, 2.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks in two starts. If VanVleet remains out, Banton should […]

Fred VanVleet Questionable For Saturday's Meeting With Mavs

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (illness) is questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. The 28-year-old didn't play on Wednesday versus Brooklyn due to a non-COVID-related illness, and neither did Dalano Banton (ankle). As a result, Malachi Flynn got the start but finished with only eight points on a rough 3-for-12 shooting effort. […]

Killian Hayes Cleared To Play

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (calf) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The young guard should have plenty of chances with the Pistons extremely shorthanded. He'll draw the start alongside Rodney McGruder, Isaiah Livers, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Marvin Bagley III on Friday. Hayes has put together some strong games […]

Monte Morris To Sit Out On Friday

Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. The 27-year-old will miss his third game in a row due to right ankle soreness. This is not good news with fellow guard Bradley Beal (quad) headed for a game-time decision on Friday. That being said, Jordan Goodwin […]

Derrick Rose Sitting Again On Friday Evening

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (foot) won't play against Portland. The veteran will miss his second consecutive game on Friday night while dealing with a sore right foot (and a sore right toe). Cam Reddish (groin) is also out, so Quentin Grimes and Immanuel Quickley should provide value for managers in all formats.

LaMelo Ball Remains Out Against Minnesota

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) is out ahead of Friday's meeting with Minnesota. The 21-year-old has dealt with a sprained ankle for most of the year, so fantasy managers hope he's nearing a return. With Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) also sitting, Terry Rozier will handle the point guard duties while receiving a boost in […]

Jordan McLaughlin Out Again On Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) won't play on Friday against Charlotte, marking his second-straight absence. Austin Rivers received some extra work on Wednesday versus Indiana. However, Rivers only scored six points in 20 minutes, so he's not likely to provide any value on the fantasy end.

Dennis Smith Jr. Won't Suit Up Against Timberwolves

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) was forced to exit the team's last game early due to an ankle sprain. It seems as though it wasn't just a minor tweak as he'll be forced to miss at least one game. Since LaMelo Ball (ankle) is also out on Friday, Terry Rozier will see a […]

Mike Conley To Miss Friday's Game

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (leg) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This marks the third game in a row that Conley has missed due to a leg issue. That means, Collin Sexton will make another start with Conley out. Sexton should already be rostered in most formats, but […]

Derrick Rose Considered Questionable

New York Knicks point guard Derrick Rose (toe) is listed as questionable for Friday's meeting with the Trail Blazers. He sat out Monday's with over the Thunder with a sore right toe, but could now return to action against Portland after going through most of Wednesday's practice session. The veteran will provide some backcourt depth […]

Killian Hayes Dealing With A Calf Problem

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes exited Wednesday's win over Utah with a calf injury. He was able to log 17 minutes and finished with two points, three rebounds and three assists. The 21-year-old has had a good run in the team lately, so the injury comes at a very bad time for Hayes. His status […]

Luka Doncic Posts His 19th 40-Point Game

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic was up to his normal heroics on Wednesday night in the team's game against the Boston Celtics. Unfortunately, the rest of the team couldn't help him win the game. Across 40 minutes of playing time, the MVP candidate finished with 42 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists while shooting 17-for-28. […]

Malik Beasley Posts Big Game In Loss

Utah Jazz guard Malik Beasley had himself a night on Wednesday during the team's loss to the Detroit Pistons. The 25-year-old posted 29 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists on 50% shooting overall and 53.3% shooting from deep. Whenever given the minutes, he delivers quite often. The biggest issue since joining the Jazz has been […]

Rotoballer's Weekly NBA Fantasy Watch List

While playing daily fantasy sports is a quick way to make a buck, many still appreciate the long grind of season-long fantasy leagues. The waiver wire can make or break your fantasy team during the season. At times, a player seems like the right fit for your roster, but little did you know that player […]

Chris Paul Practices On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (heel) was able to suit up for Wednesday's practice. The veteran guard has missed each of the last seven games due to right heel soreness. The team mentioned a few days ago that Paul would be re-evaluated in one week. However, Paul practiced on Wednesday, so maybe he is ahead […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Exits Wednesday's Game

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 24-year-old can't catch a break as this is the third time he has sprained his left ankle this season. This is bad timing with the Hornets already missing LaMelo Ball (ankle) as well. Terry Rozier […]

CJ McCollum Out With Non-COVID Illness

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum will miss Wednesday's game versus the San Antonio Spurs due to a non-COVID illness. As the third option in the Pelicans offense, McCollum registers 18 points per contest. Check RotoBaller for further updates on the Pelicans guard. Look for New Orleans star Brandon Ingram to make up for McCollum's […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Will Suit Up Against Boston

Dallas Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's meeting with Boston after riding a questionable tag because of left shoulder soreness. The 29-year-old has averaged 17.1 points and 5.1 assists while shooting an efficient 40.7% from deep in 2022-23, so he's certainly been productive. Without any indication of a minutes cap versus the […]

Justise Winslow Starting Against Cleveland

Portland Trail Blazers guard Justise Winslow will start on Wednesday versus Cleveland. Shaedon Sharpe replaced Damian Lillard (calf) during Monday's meeting in Milwaukee. However, after Sharpe scored two points in 26 minutes in that one, head coach Chauncey Billups will make the swap. Winslow has averaged 8.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.6 assists in four […]

Jordan McLaughlin Sidelined On Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin (calf) won't play on Wednesday against the Pacers due to a left calf strain. The update came from head coach Chris Finch, who may now lean on Austin Rivers or Bryn Forbes to replace McLaughlin from off the bench. However, neither man likely won't see enough action to justify adding […]

Bones Hyland Out With An illness

Denver Nuggets guard Bones Hyland (illness) won't be able to play Wednesday against the Thunder. He left Tuesday's loss to Detroit because of an illness and Hyland hasn't recovered from it in time for Wednesday's game. It's a great shame, as the talented scorer finished last week with a career-high 29-point effort versus Dallas and […]

Jamal Murray Listed As Questionable

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (conditioning) might sit out Wednesday's clash with Oklahoma City, with the team listing him as questionable for the game. Murray was back from a two-game absence Tuesday versus Detroit after being out because of health and safety protocols. It was only a short stint on the sidelines, which shouldn't […]

Seth Curry Sits Out Wednesday's Action

Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry (ankle) will be rested Wednesday against Toronto. The Nets are completing a back-to-back set and Curry sits out the action after logging 24 minutes Tuesday versus Philadelphia. The team is managing his left ankle and it might take a while until Curry is fully healthy and ready to play in […]

Ja Morant Posts Big Outing In Loss To Kings

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant was previously doubtful for the game on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings. He was then upgraded to questionable and eventually played while producing a strong outing despite the loss. The up-and-coming star posted 34 points, seven rebounds, six assists, two steals, and five turnovers on 12-for-21 shooting from the floor […]

De'Aaron Fox Lights Up The Grizzlies In Win

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox was not going to be denied a win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night. He only scored two fewer points than his matchup in Ja Morant but beat him across the board in all other categories. The star point guard logged 32 points, eight rebounds, six assists, and four […]

Ben Simmons Posts Full Stat Line Against Sixers

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons returned to Philadelphia on Tuesday night and stuffed the stat sheet in a 106-115 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. The point forward posted 11 points, 11 assists, seven rebounds, three steals, and three blocks while shooting 4-for-7 from the floor and 3-for-6 from the free-throw line. He continued his four-game […]

LaMelo Ball Sidelined Against Sixers

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) will not suit up on Wednesday for the team's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. His ankle already caused him to sit out the first 13 games of the season, and now it will cause him to sit out his third in a row after re-injuring it. Dennis Smith Jr. […]

Mike Conley Out Again Versus Detroit

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) is out against the Pistons on Wednesday. The 35-year-old strained the Popliteus muscle in his left knee, an injury he picked up during Saturday's meeting in Portland. As a result, Collin Sexton, who had 10 points in 28 minutes against the Trail Blazers, may remain in the starting lineup […]

Dalano Banton Questionable For Wednesday Night

Toronto Raptors guard Dalano Banton (illness) is questionable against the Nets. Banton didn't suit up for Saturday's meeting with Atlanta due to a sprained ankle. However, he's now burdened by a non-COVID-related sickness, jeopardizing his availability. With Pascal Siakam (adductor), Precious Achiuwa (foot), Scottie Barnes (knee), and Otto Porter Jr. (toe) on the injury report, […]

Damian Lillard Won't Play On Wednesday, As Expected

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (calf) won't play on Wednesday against Cleveland. The veteran re-strained his right calf during the meeting with Utah and is expected to be out for up to two weeks. Lillard has averaged 26.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals this season, so replacing him will be nearly impossible. However, […]
