Welcome to the weekend, RotoBallers. We're kicking off the first Saturday in February with a five-game slate, highlighted by incredible game environments in the Bucks-Mavericks and Warriors-Hawks matchups.

Nick Fortes Makes Swing Changes This Offseason

The Miami Marlins and manager Skip Schumaker are expecting more out of catcher Nick Fortes offensively this year after the 27-year-old backstop worked on his stance and swing mechanics this offseason. In his third year in the big leagues in 2023, Fortes struggled at the plate, slashing .204/.263/.299 with six home runs, 10 doubles, 26 […]

Marcus Morris Sr. Iffy For Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Marcus Morris Sr. (foot) is listed as questionable for Saturday's clash with Brooklyn. The veteran could be out for a third game in a row due to left foot pain. Morris Sr. has recently played a much bigger role in Philadelphia's plans due to Joel Embiid's (knee) injury troubles. He will have […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Remains Out Saturday

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) won't play Saturday against Philadelphia.

Pirates Considering Gary Sanchez

The Pittsburgh Pirates are among the teams considering ex-New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez, who had a fantastic year with the San Diego Padres in 2023 while become left-hander Blake Snell's personal catcher.

Jakob Poeltl Will Return Against Houston

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (ankle) will return for Friday's meeting with the Houston Rockets. The 26-year-old hasn't played in nearly a month, missing time because of an ankle injury.

Myles Turner Won't Play On Friday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Turner was splitting up the center minutes with Jalen Smith during Thursday's game. However, the big man picked up a left ankle injury during the contest. As a result, Turner will be held out of the second […]

Anthony Davis Considered Questionable For Saturday

Sadly, Vanderbilt wasn't able to finish the contest […]

Dereck Lively II Set For Surgery

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (nose) will have surgery on Monday. The 19-year-old has played well in his first season in the NBA, averaging 9.2 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks.

Draymond Green Probable To Play Against Grizzlies

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (knee) has been listed as probable for their Friday night contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. The knee contusion seems to be more of a formality injury listing because it doesn't seem severe enough to make him miss a game. Green has been playing some heavy minutes lately and will […]

Marvin Bagley III Downgraded To Out On Friday

Washington Wizards forward Marvin Bagley III (back) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Friday and will have to watch the home game against the Miami Heat. The 24-year-old saw some big minutes when he was first traded to the Wizards from the Detroit Pistons, but has since been moved to the bench and […]

Tyler Heineman Goes From Mets To Red Sox

The New York Mets have traded catcher Tyler Heineman to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for cash considerations.

Nikola Jokic Remains Questionable On Friday

Alperen Sengun Uncertain For Friday's Game

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Sengun has not missed a game this season, so it's unlikely that an illness is going to hold him out of this contest. The Rockets would likely be forced to be small-ball if Sengun is unable to […]
