The first annual NBA In-Season Tournament will be reaching its conclusion on Saturday night, meaning we have a single-game slate between the Pacers and Lakers to break down. The Pacers impressively took down the Celtics and Bucks in the bracket after going 4-0 in their group against the Cavaliers, 76ers, Hawks, and Pistons. The Lakers […]

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Delivers Four Assists In Friday's Win

Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had a spectacular four-assist game in Friday's 4-3 victory over the Wild. Two of his helpers came in power-play situations, and three of them were primary assists. Nugent-Hopkins rarely gets a mention, with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl grabbing the spotlight, but he's in the midst of another highly productive […]

Boone Jenner Exits Friday's Game After Taking Puck To Face

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner was limited to 12:16 of ice time against St. Louis on Friday, exiting the game early after getting struck in the face by a puck. Jenner has been Columbus' leading goal-scorer this season, having lit the lamp 13 times, and he's also been the team's top-scoring forward with 18 […]

Marvin Bagley III Forced To Exit Early With Back Spasms

Detroit Pistons forward/center Marvin Bagley III left Friday's loss to Orlando early due to back spasms. He settled for nine points and five rebounds in 23 minutes of action. Bagley III logged his seventh start of the campaign as Jalen Duren's (ankle) replacement, and he's posted some solid numbers in a larger role. However, it […]

David Fletcher, Max Stassi Headed To Atlanta

Infielder David Fletcher and catcher Max Stassi are on the move from the Los Angeles Angels to the Atlanta Braves. Fletcher is a 29-year-old utility man who provided a 0.1 WAR in 89 games last season. Stassi is 32 years old and hit .180 in 2022. He did not play in 2023 due to a […]

Kelly Olynyk Expected To Return On Friday

Utah Jazz center/forward Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) has missed the last two games with a right shoulder strain but he is now listed as probable on Friday night. Getting Olynyk back in the lineup is great timing for the Jazz as Lauri Markkanen (hamstring) will be forced to miss yet another game. Olynyk probably won't enter […]

Evan Mobley Uncertain To Play Against Heat

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (knee) is currently dealing with some left knee soreness and has been listed as questionable for the Friday night contest against the Miami Heat.

Daniel Gafford Tagged As Questionable On Friday

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford (ankle) has been listed as questionable for the Friday night contest against the Brooklyn Nets. The big man was able to play a full game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday before fouling out, and he was listed as questionable before that game as well. Fantasy managers will want to […]

Deandre Ayton Unlikely To Suit Up Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Ayton was unable to play on Wednesday due to right knee soreness. It appears the Blazers are going to hold him out for at least one more game. If he sits, Doup Reath is expected to remain […]

Jalen Duren Will Miss Next Two Weeks

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is expected to be sidelined for the next two weeks. The big man has been dealing with ankle issues throughout the season. Duren was able to play 30 minutes during Wednesday's contest. However, it appears the 20-year-old suffered a left ankle sprain during that game. His absence is going […]

Evgeny Kuznetsov Expected To Return To Lineup Thursday

Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov is expected to re-enter the lineup on Thursday against Dallas. Following a string of lackluster performances, he was scratched for Monday's meeting with Arizona. The Russian centerman has contributed only four goals and five assists in 19 appearances this season, and he's currently averaging 0.47 points per game, which is […]

Evan Rodrigues Matches Career High With Four Points

Florida Panthers forward Evan Rodrigues starred against Dallas on Wednesday, matching his career high in scoring with four points in a 5-4 win. He produced a pair of goals and had two assists, with half of his points coming in the third period when the game was tied at three. Rodrigues has produced some special […]

Joel Embiid Feasts Against The Wizards

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was back from a two-game absence on Wednesday and made the Washington Wizards look silly with a 50-point performance in a 131-126 win. He logged 38 minutes to prove he's fully recovered from the illness that kept him sidelined for a couple of games, and Embiid added 13 rebounds for […]

Anthony Davis Probable For Semifinals Action

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (groin/hip) is listed as probable for Thursday's in-season tournament semifinal against New Orleans. He's battling a couple of health issues but hasn't missed any of the last 14 games and likely won't sit out a special clash against his former team either. Davis had a disappointing second half in […]

Jalen Smith Remains Unavailable For Indiana

Indiana Pacers forward/center Jalen Smith (heel/knee) will remain on the shelf as the in-season tournament reaches its conclusion. He has been ruled out for Thursday's semifinal against Milwaukee and won't play in Saturday's potential final either. The 23-year-old has been out for three games already. Even with Smith unavailable, Isaiah Jackson has seen only a […]

NBA DFS Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Pelicans vs. Lakers Thursday Night Showdown

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! Welcome back to our weekly showdown.

The San Diego Padres officially sent outfielders Juan Soto and Trent Grisham to the New York Yankees in a blockbuster trade on Wednesday in exchange for right-handers Michael King, Drew Thorpe, Jhony Brito, and Randy Vasquez, and catcher Kyle Higashioka. The Padres cleared payroll space and acquired some much-needed pitching help with this massive deal. […]

Deandre Ayton Won't Play On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was originally listed as doubtful ahead of this game due to a right knee soreness. The Blazers will take the cautious approach here and hold Ayton out here. His absence will result in Duop Reath […]

Nick Richards Starting On Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Big man Mark Williams (back) will sit out this game, so Richards should have a significant role in the rotation. Richards averaged a double-double during nine starts last season. He's well worth a look as a […]

Mark Williams Tagged As Questionable On Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) is currently dealing with a lower back contusion and has been marked as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The seven-footer has been an underrated fantasy asset so far this season as he's averaged a double-double along with 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks per contest. If he's […]

Bam Adebayo Ruled Out On Wednesday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) will get the night off on Wednesday to nurse a left hip contusion which has bothered him for a while now. The star center will miss the contest against the Toronto Raptors which means Orlando Robinson will likely remain in the starting lineup while Kevin Love will see some […]

Nathan MacKinnon Extends Scoring Streak With Three-Point Effort

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon continued to rock against the Ducks on Tuesday, factoring in all three goals in a 3-2 win. He scored the team's second goal and became the fifth fastest active player to reach 500 career assists with a pair of helpers. MacKinnon has yet to go scoreless at home this season […]

Tomas Hertl Posts Sixth Career Hat Trick

San Jose Sharks center Tomas Hertl scored his sixth career hat trick as the team battled out only its seventh victory of the season on Tuesday, beating the Islanders 5-4 in overtime. Hertl completed his hat trick late in regulation with two goals that helped San Jose take the game into the extra frame. It's […]
