Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! It's the final Thursday of the regular season, and the NBA is giving us nine games to choose between as we fill our DFS lineups.

William Contreras Hits Second Homer

Atlanta Braves catcher William Contreras made his one hit count on Wednesday. The rookie catcher slugged his second home run of the season in the fifth inning of the club's 4-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. Since being recalled due to veteran catcher Travis d'Arnaud's season-ending injury, Contreras has gone 6-for-29 (.207) with two […]

Rudy Gobert Has Big Night On The Glass

Victor Caratini Introduces Slam Diego To 2021

San Diego Padres catcher Victor Caratini mashed a game-winning grand slam in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies. The switch-hitting backstop's clutch salame came in the sixth inning as the Friars held on to win 5-3. Caratini also delivered another key knock in Game 2 to push the contest to extra innings […]

Joel Embiid Questionable On Thursday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup against Miami. The big man is dealing with a non-COVID-related sickness and wasn't in the lineup on Tuesday against Indiana as a result. If Embiid can't go, look for the team to start off small before allotting 20 or so minutes to Dwight […]

Mo Bamba Questionable Against Atlanta

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba (illness) is questionable ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Hawks. The 23-year-old didn't play on Tuesday against Milwaukee due to a non-COVID-related illness, allowing Wendell Carter Jr. to see 31 minutes of work. If Bamba can't suit up again versus Atlanta, Carter will undoubtedly see an increase in DFS popularity.

Jonas Valanciunas Listed As Questionable Versus Kings

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Head coach Taylor Jenkins mentioned that he expected this to be a one-game absence when Valanciunas sat out on Tuesday. Despite that, the team is listing him as questionable heading into this game. Xavier Tillman and Brandon Clarke […]

Christian Wood, Danuel House Jr. Out Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) and forward Danuel House Jr. (ankle) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Houston only has two games left on their schedule, so they have no incentive to play anyone at less than 100 percent healthy. Kelly Olynyk should benefit the most from the […]

Robert Williams III Could Miss Some Playoff Action

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (toe) did not suit up on Wednesday and is likely to miss the last few regular season games. Head coach Brad Stevens revealed that Williams received a cortisone shot for his turf toe injury, but it didn't help the pain. That is not good news since rest is really […]

Tyler Bozak Will Sit Out Wednesday

St. Louis Blues forward Tyler Bozak will have the night off Wednesday against Minnesota. Klim Kostin will make his season debut. Bozak has played in 30 games for the Blues in 2021, scoring five goals and adding 12 assists. In his previous three contests, Bozak netted a goal and two assists while playing against Vegas […]

J.T. Realmuto Is Day-To-Day, Not In Lineup Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (knee) is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday and is considered day-to-day after being hit in the knee by a foul ball on Tuesday night, according to MLB.com's Todd Zolecki. Realmuto exited Tuesday's game in the eighth inning, after being hit on his left knee by a foul ball […]

Pascal Siakam, Chris Boucher Ruled Out For Thursday’s Contest

Toronto Raptors power forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder) and center Chris Boucher (knee) join teammates Fred VanVleet (hip), Kyle Lowry (rest) and OG Anunoby (calf) as significant absences for Thursday's game versus Chicago. Boucher played Tuesday without any of the aforementioned injured players and was the focal point of the offense; without him, Gary Trent Jr. […]

Joel Embiid, Matisse Thybulle Questionable For Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) and small forward Matisse Thybulle (hand) have been designated as questionable to participate in Thursday's game versus the Heat. Embiid missed Tuesday's game with the illness, paving the way for Mike Scott to enter the starting five. Despite that bump in role, neither Scott nor Dwight Howard put together […]

Willson Contreras Hits Four Singles In Loss

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras went 4-for-5 with four singles on Wednesday versus the Cleveland Indians. Contreras has been having a nice season, but was in a bit of a funk with just four hits over his last 18 at-bats entering the contest. Contreras has now gone 6-for-8 in two games this week and appears […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Questionable Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (groin) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. It was reported earlier in the week that James was expected to return here. It's a great spot against the horrendous Rockets defense with Davis banged up. The Lakers want their superstars […]

Sean Monahan Set To Undergo Hip Surgery

Calgary Flames forward Sean Monahan will be shut down for his team's remaining four games of the regular season to undergo hip surgery. The announcement could help explain why the 26-year-old, in the middle of his prime, was in the midst of one of the worst seasons of his NHL career - posting just 28 […]

St. Louis Blues forward Klim Kostin will make his season debut on Wednesday versus the Minnesota Wild. Kostin, one of the Blues' top prospects, will start the game on the team's third line alongside forwards Robert Thomas and Mike Hoffman.
