Thon Maker On Track To Suit Up For Wednesday’s Game

Detroit Pistons power forward/center Thon Maker (foot) has been listed as probable to play in Wednesday’s contest versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. Maker missed Sunday’s game, but had seen his role take a significant downturn over the last two contests that he was available to participate in. John Henson appears to have jumped Maker in […]

Tristan Thompson Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson (knee) has his status up in the air for Wednesday’s game versus the Boston Celtics. Thompson, who had reentered the starting five over his last two appearances, has been absent from each of Cleveland’s last two games, paving the way for Larry Nance Jr. to see a larger workload. With […]

Andre Drummond, Darius Garland To Miss Wednesday’s Game

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be without both center Andre Drummond (calf) and point/shooting guard Darius Garland (groin) for Wednesday’s contest against the Boston Celtics. Drummond’s absence will mark his second game in a row and fourth in his last five that he has spent on the sidelines, with either Tristan Thompson (knee) or Larry Nance […]

Anthony Davis is Probable Versus Sixers

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was unable to play in Sunday's game due to right knee soreness. However, it appears Davis is on track to return from his one game absence here. Kyle Kuzma would head back to the bench […]

Mitchell Robinson Might Sit on Wednesday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has been playing well since the All-Star break, so it would hurt to lose him here. Taj Gibson and Bobby Portis would be asked to split up the minutes if Robinson sits out. Neither of them […]

Kevon Looney Will Miss Second Straight Game

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This marks the second game in a row that Looney has been unable to play due to a hip issue. Draymond Green (knee) will join Looney on the sideline for Tuesday's contest. Marquese Chriss and Dragan Bender […]

Sean Murphy Healthy After First Spring Action

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy had two plate appearances in his Spring Training debut Monday against the Cubs, walking both times. More importantly, the A's starting backstop left the game healthy and pain-free as he continues to rehab from knee surgery. Murphy has power, he hit 15 home runs in 51 games between the Majors […]

Gorgui Dieng Collects Double-Double Off Bench

Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Gorgui Dieng excelled during his team-high 26 minutes as a reserve during Monday’s win over the Atlanta Hawks, finishing with 17 points and 10 rebounds, marking his third double-double since joining the Grizzlies. He continues to struggle from long range (0-for-11 over his last four games), but as Memphis wears thin […]

Jonas Valanciunas Records Fourth Straight Double-Double

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas needed just 25 minutes during Monday’s win over the Atlanta Hawks to amass 15 points and 15 rebounds. Shooting 6-for-7 from the floor overall, Valanciunas also added two assists during what was his fourth consecutive double-double. With both Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) and Brandon Clarke (quad) unavailable, the vast majority […]

Anthony Tolliver Knocks Down Four Triples In Team Debut

Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Anthony Tolliver jumped straight into the fray during Monday’s win over the Atlanta Hawks, knocking down 4-for-5 from behind the arc in his first game with his new franchise. The four triples tied for a season high, as he also added three rebounds during his 19 minutes off the bench. With […]

Mitchell Robinson Strong On The Boards Against Houston

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson scored 12 points with 13 rebounds in just 24 minutes of a 125-123 win over the Rockets. That's three double-doubles in four games for Robinson, who is somehow still coming off the bench for New York. You would think the Knicks would want one of their youngest (and best) […]

Bam Adebayo Posts A Double-Double With Five Assists

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo put up 14 points with 13 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks in a win over Milwaukee. This was Adebayo's 38th double-double on the season, the seventh-most across the NBA as well as his fifth straight. During that five-game stretch, Adebayo has posted no fewer than three assists with four […]

Hassan Whiteside Secures 10th Straight Double-Double

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside supplied 16 points, 13 rebounds, one assist, and two blocks through 27 minutes in the 130-107 win over the Magic on Monday. The 30-year-old has been an elite fantasy option for Portland this season while center Jusuf Nurkic continues to recover from a leg injury sustained last season. Whiteside […]

Nikola Vucevic Has Seventh Double-Double In Nine Games

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic had 30 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, and one steal through 32 minutes in the 130-107 loss to the Blazers on Monday. The 29-year-old also went 3-for-7 from downtown. The big man continues to fill the stat sheets for the Magic and remains the star of the team. This was […]

Welington Castillo Throws To Bases

Washington Nationals catcher Welington Castillo (shoulder) threw to the bases on Sunday and should return to Grapefruit League action on Tuesday. Castillo should be just fine for Opening Day as long as he doesn't have any setbacks. The 32-year-old (33 in April) Dominican slumped to a .209/.267/.417 slash line with 12 home runs and 41 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/2/20): NBA DFS Lineups

Big names loom larger than usual during a seven-game slate Monday. James Harden’s last trip to Madison Square Garden resulted in a 61-point barrage that will live in the building’s infamy. Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has recently found himself in a spat of words with Harden, is on the second leg of a back-to-back, having casually […]

Welcome to RotoBaller's weekly injury room report. Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game, but we have you covered when the injury bug bites.

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 20

The waiver wire is where leagues are won and lost. The draft is long past and now your rosters feel completely different if you are even moderately active. Players come and go due to poor performances and/or injury all the time. Staying on top of your needs is essential to winning matchups and grinding your […]

Andre Drummond And Tristan Thompson Out Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond (calf) and center Tristan Thompson (heel) will not be available on Monday against the visiting Utah Jazz. Drummond aggravated the injury that he sustained at the end of February while Thompson continues to work his way back from a bruise that he suffered a few games back. With Alfonzo McKinnie […]

Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 20)

Initially, this intro was going to be another feature about the Miami Heat, but last night Shake Milton stole everyone's thunder and he is more than deserving of a few kind words. Milton was already mentioned in one of these articles a few weeks back, and finally this week, mainly due to injuries, he is […]

Andre Drummond is Doubtful for Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond (calf) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He returned from a two-game absence on Saturday and was able to play 36 minutes in that one. Tristan Thompson (knee) is expected to remain sidelined here, so the Cavs could be thin in terms of depth. Larry […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Rest Against Bulls

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so this isn't shocking to see the Mavs give Porzingis the day off. He looked fantastic during Sunday's victory, but played 37 minutes in that one. Maximilian Kleber should see […]

Willie Cauley-Stein is Probable for Monday

Dallas Mavericks center Willie Cauley-Stein (personal) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He has missed each of the last five games due to a personal issue. However, Cauley-Stein hasn't been a huge part of the rotation regardless, so he should be left on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats. […]

Christian Wood Posts Double-Double Against Kings

Detroit Pistons forward/center Christian Wood (foot) recorded his 11th double-double of the season in Sunday's 106-100 loss against the Kings, as the 24-year-old played through a foot sprain and finished with 20 points, 12 rebounds, one block, 7-for-16 shooting from the field and 1-for-4 from three-point range in the contest. Wood has posted double-digit point […]

ADP Cost Analysis - Carson Kelly vs Willson Contreras

It's the middle of the draft and the elite catching options are long gone. All of a sudden, an owner drafts a catcher. Then another catcher gets taken, then another. As your pick is approaching, the mid-round run on catchers has officially started and you feel a hint of pressure staring at the empty "C" […]
