The right knee soreness that has hampered New Orleans Pelicans power forward/center Derrick Favors has once again resulted in him being listed as questionable to participate in Monday’s contest versus the Brooklyn Nets.

Harry Giles Remains Questionable on Sunday

Sacramento Kings center Harry Giles (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. The Kings have been cautious with Giles up to this point because of his serious knee issues. They've already declined his option for next season. Clearly, the Kings don't have faith in him at all. Richaun Holmes […]

Bobby Portis Jumps Into the Starting Five

New York Knicks center Bobby Portis will get the start at center for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Mitchell Robinson (finger) is fine for this game, but head coach David Fizdale wants to see what Portis can do in the starting five. Fizdale is hopeful that having Portis out there will help Julius Randle. […]

Goga Bitadze Gets The Start on Sunday

Indiana Pacers forward Goga Bitadze will jump into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Myles Turner (ankle) and Domantas Sabonis (calf) will be watching from the sidelines on Sunday. Bitadze finished with 10 points and nine rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench on Friday. He'll be an extremely attractive DFS […]

Ryan Zimmerman, Yan Gomes Become Free Agents

The Washington Nationals declined their 2020 options on first baseman Ryan Zimmerman ($18 million) and catcher Yan Gomes ($9 million), making them both free agents. The Nats expect to work something out to re-sign Zimmerman, who was the team's first-round pick in 2005, but the same can't be said for Gomes. Zimmerman has dealt with […]

Pettersson's second tally of the night came on the power play, giving him his second power-play goal of the season. On a per-game basis, Pettersson is scoring at a very similar rate to […]

Jaxson Hayes (C, NOP) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 14% of leagues ANALYSIS: While the last two games of Jaxson Hayes haven't gone the same way his first one did -- he had 19 points on 9-for-11 shooting in that one -- he's still worth a roster spot in a 14-team or deeper league at this […]

Richaun Holmes (PF/C, SAC) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In All Leagues OWNED IN: 53% of leagues ANALYSIS: Here at RotoBaller, we usually keep these weekly waiver pieces restricted to lesser owned players, but in the early days of the NBA season there will guys who suddenly see 50 percent spikes in ownership out of nowhere. It's usually worth owning those […]

Christian Wood (PF/C, DET) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit Pistons power forward/center Christian Wood has seen some extended playing time so far this year as the team awaits Blake Griffin's (knee) return.

Brandon Clarke Notches Double-Double Off Bench

Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Brandon Clarke spent most of Saturday questionable to suit up due to a back injury, but after being cleared shortly before tip-off, Clarke was able to notch the first double-double of his career off the bench versus Phoenix. The rookie logged just 22 minutes, but was supremely efficient, collecting 16 points, […]

Aron Baynes Drills Career-High Four Triples In 20-Point Effort

Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes continued to prove himself a revelation in the absence of Deandre Ayton on Saturday during the team’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Baynes, who made just one three-point bucket over his first five seasons in the league, sunk four threes during a 20-point outing. He also dished out four assists […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Scuffles Before Leaving Due To Injury

Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. dealt with foul trouble and inconsistency prior to leaving Saturday’s contest versus Phoenix due to a right knee injury.

Andre Drummond Logs Third Consecutive 20-20 Game In Win

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond delivered another incredible performance during Saturday’s victory over the Brooklyn Nets, collecting 25 points, 20 rebounds, six assists, five blocks and three steals. Drummond has been arguably the best fantasy performer in the league through the first two weeks, consistently delivering gaudy numbers no matter the opponent. After leading the […]

Nerlens Noel Swats Six Shots During Start

Oklahoma City Thunder power forward/center Nerlens Noel took advantage of the absence of Steven Adams on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans, collecting six blocked shots, his most in a single contest since March 24, 2015, during his rookie year with Philadelphia.

Zach Collins To Undergo Shoulder Surgery

Portland Trail Blazers power forward/center Zach Collins will have his dislocated left shoulder operated on, stunting any fantasy momentum that he had acquired at the start of the year. Having moved into the starting five, Collins is now likely facing an extended absence due to the injury and can safely be dropped in the vast […]

Ed Davis To Miss At Least One Month Due To Injury

Utah Jazz power forward/center Ed Davis is expected to be sidelined for at least the next month due to a left fibula fracture that he suffered during play Friday. Davis has delivered relatively little off the bench for Utah through the first six games of the season, with his departure unlikely to drastically change much […]

Filip Chytil Scores Again In Saturday's Win

New York Rangers center Filip Chytil made it two goals in two games on Saturday, helping the Blueshirts beat Nashville 2-1. Ryan Strome also scored for the Rangers to extend his point streak to six games. Alexandar Georgiev picked up his second consecutive win with a 32-save effort. Chytil had a rocky rookie campaign in […]

Draymond Green Set To Miss Multiple Games Due To Injury

Golden State Warriors power forward/center Draymond Green had already been ruled out for Saturday’s game against Charlotte before the news came down that he would miss more time than that. Due to a torn ligament in his left index finger, Green is expected to miss the “next few games,” which will further hamper a Golden […]

Brandon Clarke Cleared To Suit Up Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Brandon Clarke has been given the green light to play Saturday against the Phoenix Suns after having been questionable for most of the day due to a back injury.

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Maximilian Kleber is listed as questionable to suit up for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a sore right knee.

Hassan Whiteside To Miss Sunday’s Contest

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside will officially be in street clothes for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a bone bruise on his left knee. Whiteside’s prospects of suiting up did not sound high after being unable to practice Saturday, which should pave the way for Skal Labissiere to see minutes at […]
