Ricky Rubio Is Expected To Play On Friday

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio (foot) is available to play on Friday against the Cavaliers. This foot issue is different from the knee/back issues that cost him to miss last Saturday's game, so will see how long he can go tonight. Rubio is a strong play in all fantasy formats tonight, but if he […]

Matthew Dellavedova Has Been Ruled Out Against Jazz

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard/shooting guard Matthew Dellavedova (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Jazz. This news really doesn't have much impact with the Cavs using a three-guard lineup, except for the possibility of one of the three starters Colin Sexton, Alec Burks, and Rodney Hood playing well and seeing a little […]

James Harden Posts Third 40-Point Triple-Double

Houston Rockets point guard/shooting guard James Harden scored 44 points, doled out 15 assists and grabbed 10 rebounds to go along with one steal and two blocks in Thursday's victory over the Warriors.

RotoBaller NBA Recap: James Harden Triple-Dubs The Dubs

Thursday nights in the NBA always feature a notoriously light schedule, which means the games that are actually being played better be good to keep it from being a disappointing night. Last night, things didn't start out all that well. The Spurs walloped the Toronto Raptors in Kawhi Leonard's return to San Antonio in a […]

Ricky Rubio is Questionable for Friday

Utah Jazz guard Ricky Rubio (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Rubio has been dealing with some injuries lately, so we could see the Jazz decide to rest him on Friday. Dante Exum and Royce O'Neale would see increased playing time without Rubio on the court. Both players could […]

Kyle Lowry is Doubtful for Saturday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Lowry has missed each of the last five games and hasn't played in nine of the last 10. Fred Vanvleet will continue to draw the starts at point guard until Lowry is able to return. He'll be a […]

Dwyane Wade Will Play on Friday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (illness) was able to participate in shootaround and will be active for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Wade missed Wednesday's game against the Cavs, but it appears to be just a one game absence. However, the Heat have plenty of depth with Tyler Johnson, Dion Waiters, and Derrick Jones […]

Jeff Teague Will Play on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (ankle) will return for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Teague has missed the last nine games, but will be back in the rotation for this one. It's unclear whether or not Teague is going to have a minutes limit on Friday. Derrick Rose (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable […]

Mike Conley Expected to Play on Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Conley (shoulder) is expected to be able to suit up for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Conley said his shoulder "continues to progress", so that is a good sign that he'll be able to play. It sounds like Conley will be out there on Friday unless he suffers a setback […]

Derrick Rose Upgraded to Questionable

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Rose was listed as doubtful on Thursday, but it appears that his ankle is feeling better. He's missed three straight games, but has a decent chance of returning on Friday.

San Antonio Spurs guard Bryn Forbes continued his excellent play in Thursday's convincing win over the Toronto Raptors when he drilled six threes to score 20 points.

Jeff Teague Questionable For Friday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague is questionable to make his return to action Friday versus the Orlando Magic as he battles left ankle inflammation.

Kyle Lowry Ruled Out For Thursday’s Game

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry will be sidelined for Thursday’s contest versus the San Antonio Spurs after all following a roller coaster of designations prior to tip-off. Figure Fred Van Vleet to remain in the starting lineup in his absence and continue to see the lion’s share of ball-handling duties. Lowry’s absence will be […]

Ricky Rubio Listed As Questionable For Thursday

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio is tagged as questionable to play in Thursday’s game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers due to left foot soreness. When Rubio was absent earlier in the week, Dante Exum filled in excellently, so should Rubio be ruled out, the Jazz backcourt could present itself as a high-upside endeavor in DFS. […]

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out For Friday’s Game

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving will miss his second straight contest Friday versus the Dallas Mavericks after having his eye scratched during Monday’s game against the Spurs. Terry Rozier logged the start in Irving’s stead Wednesday and is likely in line to do so again with Irving out, putting Rozier up for strong DFS […]

Mike Conley Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley is questionable to suit up for Friday’s contest against the Brooklyn Nets due to left shoulder soreness. Add a shoulder injury to Conley’s rolodex of injuries during the first half of 2018-19, despite having missed just a single game. There was clearly something off with Conley during Wednesday’s game […]

Kyle Lowry Upgraded to Questionable on Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Lowry was listed as doubtful on Wednesday, but will test his back at shootaround and possibly play on Thursday. Fred Vanvleet would draw another start and be an attractive DFS option if Lowry is unable to […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Gordon Hayward Shoots The Lights Out

This was just the second time in 12 Wednesday night games that two-thirds of the league was not in action. Last night also had to be one of the least dramatic midweek set of games of the season as five of the nine contests were decided by double-digits. Two of the four games that ended up […]

Tyus Jones Logs 40 Minutes In Near Double-Double

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Tyus Jones remained in the starting five Wednesday versus the Boston Celtics with Jeff Teague and Derrick Rose still sidelined, and Jones posted 14 points and nine assists in 40 minutes of action. With Jerryd Bayless logging just five minutes off the bench behind him, it’s clear that Jones will be […]

Terry Rozier Ties Career High With Five Steals

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Terry Rozier entered the starting lineup for Wednesday’s victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing with 16 points, five assists and tying his career high with five steals. When given the opportunity to start, Rozier has excelled, averaging 16.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists in three starts this season, as opposed […]

D'Angelo Russell Ties Career High With 13 Assists

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell took advantage of Wednesday’s up-tempo match-up versus the New Orleans Pelicans, finishing with 22 points and a career-high-tying 13 assists.

Elfrid Payton Drops 25 Points In Second Game Back

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton caught fire from the floor during Wednesday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets, finishing with a season-high 25 points on 10-for-15 shooting.

Dennis Smith Jr. Steals The Show

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. had a high-quality performance Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. Smith Jr. scored a game-high 18 points going six for ten from the field with three of those made baskets coming from beyond the arc. In addition to Smith Jr.'s scoring production, he also had seven assists and three […]

Kemba Walker Underwhelms Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker didn't have his best outing Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. Walker scored 11 points going four for fourteen from the field and three for four from the charity stripe. Besides Walker's poor shooting evening he also had five assists and three boards.

Russell Westbrook Records Strange Triple-Double In Win

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook posted 14 points with 16 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and two blocked shots over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 107-100 victory against the Los Angeles Lakers for 11th triple-double this season, and his 115th triple-double of his career.

Dillon Brooks Drops 14 Points Off The Bench

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Dillon Brooks posted 14 points off the bench across just 18 minutes, hitting 6-for-10 from the field while adding four rebounds, an assist and just one turnover in Wednesday's 101-94 loss against the Detroit Pistons.
