Trey Murphy III Now Probable Against Nuggets

New Orleans Pelicans guard Trey Murphy III (knee) has been upgraded from questionable to probable against the Denver Nuggets on Friday.

Tim Hardaway Jr. To Start On Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. The Mavs will give Hardaway the starting nod with Luka Doncic (ankle) on the sideline for this game. This means that Jaden Hardy will come off the bench, so his fantasy value won't be […]

Dante Exum Remains Out Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) will miss a fifth consecutive game Thursday versus the Knicks. The 28-year-old is trying to overcome a right plantar strain. Exum had an impressive spell in the team before getting hurt. He has averaged 14.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 4.4 assists as a starter this season. Josh Green has […]

Luka Doncic Sits Out Thursday's Game

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) won't play on Thursday against New York. He battled through an ankle sprain in Tuesday's matchup against Memphis but will take Thursday off.

Trail Blazers vs. Thunder NBA DFS Showdown Slate Picks, Value Plays - Thursday, January 11

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! Welcome back to our weekly showdown. Last week would have been an absolute banger had Michael Porter Jr. shown up to the game. Jonathan Kuminga also not playing in the fourth quarter didn't help either and I think he agreed after his post-game comments. However, if you caught my lineup in the […]

Kevin Huerter Won't Return On Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) won't return to Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. His night ended extremely early after Huerter suffered an ankle injury during the first minute of the first quarter. Chris Duarte took over for him and figures to see a bigger role through the rest of this game. The expectation […]

Andrew Wiggins Heads To The Bench

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins will move to the bench heading into Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This comes after Wiggins has posted back-to-back terrible outings.

De'Anthony Melton Questionable Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Hawks. The 25-year-old has missed three games, but he's been back in practice this week, which is a sign that he's trending in the right direction and could be available again on Wednesday. Melton has done […]

Caleb Martin Likely Out For Another Game

Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) doesn't appear to be ready to return to the court Wednesday versus OKC, as the team continues to list him as doubtful on the injury report. He's set to miss a seventh consecutive contest with a right ankle sprain. Martin's absence and other Miami injuries have opened the door […]

Cody Martin Questionable For Clash With Kings

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin (groin) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Sacramento. He's nursing a groin strain and could be out for a second consecutive game. Bryce McGowens took on a starter's role without Martin on Monday versus Chicago, with JT Thor and Nick Smith Jr. logging extra minutes off the bench. […]

Jrue Holiday Questionable For Wednesday Night

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves. The 33-year-old veteran continues to deal with a right elbow sprain, an injury that's bothered him for weeks. However, he's played through the ailment, recently accruing 21 points, six rebounds, six assists, and one steal in Monday's loss to the […]

Marcus Smart Injures Finger Against The Mavs

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) exited Tuesday's win over the Dallas Mavericks. He didn't return. Ja Morant (shoulder) is done for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, and Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) wasn't available, so Smart was expected to be a top producer for the Grizzlies on Tuesday night. He met expectations, amassing 23 […]

Matisse Thybulle Questionable Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (foot) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's encounter with the Knicks. He suffered a right foot sprain on Friday versus Dallas and wasn't able to play Sunday against Brooklyn. Shaedon Sharpe was the biggest beneficiary of Thybulle's absence at the weekend, logging 40 minutes off the bench in an […]

Gary Harris Remains Unavailable Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (calf) will miss a third consecutive game on Tuesday against Minnesota. The veteran strained his right calf a week ago and still needs more time off to be able to play again. With Harris out, Cole Anthony has logged over 30 minutes in back-to-back games. He's done a good job […]

Derrick Rose Remains Out On Tuesday Night

Memphis Grizzlies guard Derrick Rose (hamstring) remains out on Tuesday versus the Dallas Mavericks. He has missed Memphis' previous three games because of a left hamstring strain, and he'll likely miss more time moving ahead. The oft-injured 35-year-old has averaged 8.4 points and 3.4 assists in 17 games this season, so he's not rostered in […]

Dereck Lively II, Dante Exum Ruled Out Against Grizzlies

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) and guard Dante Exum (foot) have both been ruled out for their Tuesday night game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This is going to be Lively's third consecutive game missed and it's Exum's fourth. They're both still dealing with sprains but Lively's is his ankle while Exum is dealing […]

Franz Wagner Ruled Out Again For Tuesday

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This will be his third consecutive missed game after not missing a single game prior. The Michigan product sprained his ankle on January 3 against the Sacramento Kings when he was only five minutes into the game. They've […]

Zach LaVine Will Suit Up Against Hornets

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot, shoulder) was already listed as probable, so it's not a surprise that he was upgraded to active ahead of the team's Monday night game against the Charlotte Hornets. The team seems to be in limbo when it comes to playing or resting him, so they can still get maximum […]

Cade Cunningham Ruled Out On Tuesday Against Kings

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has officially been ruled out of the team's game on Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings. Cunningham was forced to leave their last contest after hurting his knee and he was unable to return that night. Now, it looks like he'll be forced to miss at least one game […]

Caleb Martin Unlikely To Return On Monday

Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) looks set to miss another game on Monday, as the team has tagged him doubtful for a clash with the Rockets. Miami has been five games without him already as Martin recovers from a right ankle sprain. The Heat also won't have Jimmy Butler (toe) on Monday, so it's […]
