Elfrid Payton Up In The Air For Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Elfrid Payton has picked up a questionable designation ahead of Tuesday’s contest versus the Orlando Magic due to the right ankle sprain that has kept him out for the previous seven games. To be specific, head coach Alvin Gentry deemed Payton a “maybe” to play, which sounds much less scientific […]

Dennis Schroder To Miss Monday’s Game Due To Personal Reasons

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Dennis Schroder will be held out of Monday’s contest versus the Portland Trail Blazers due to personal reasons. The team has not announced if Schroder’s absence will be an extended one, although just Thursday’s contest versus the New Orleans Pelicans remains prior to the All-Star break.

Jerryd Bayless Cleared To Suit Up Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Jerryd Bayless will be available against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday after having been deemed questionable due to a sore right big toe.

Devonte' Graham To Sit Out Monday’s Contest

Charlotte Hornets point/shooting guard Devonte' Graham will be in street clothes for Monday’s game versus the Indiana Pacers due to an illness. With fellow point man Tony Parker also sidelined, expect the debuting Shelvin Mack to likely serve as the backup to Kemba Walker. Graham has shown flashes of being a solid contributor in his […]

Tony Parker Ruled Out on Monday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. It's not too surprising to see Parker sitting out after he was listed as doubtful on Sunday. Shelvin Mack and Devonte' Graham are expected to see increased playing time behind Kemba Walker.

Jeremy Lin is Finalizing Buyout With Hawks

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin is finalizing a buyout with the team and is expected to sign with the Toronto Raptors. Toronto is looking to add depth, so this move makes sense for their current organization. Lin should add solid depth to the second unit alongside Fred Vanvleet. Lin is not going to be worth […]

Fred VanVleet is Doubtful for Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (thumb) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The Raptors are banged up at guard, so Kyle Lowry is going to be asked to play heavy minutes. It'll be interesting to see what head coach Nike Nurse decides to do with his rotation. Lowry should be a lock […]

Kyrie Irving Won't Play Tuesday

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Irving suffered a sprained right knee, so the Celtics are considering him day-to-day at the moment. The Celtics continue to be cautious with Irving, so fantasy owners will be without him on Tuesday. Terry Rozier will draw the […]

Tomas Satoransky Ruled Out on Monday

Washington Wizards point guard Tomas Satoransky (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. His wife is having a baby, so that explains Satoransky's absence in this one. Chasson Randle will draw the start and he could have some DFS appeal on Monday. Bradley Beal will be asked to run the […]

Derrick Rose Expected to Play Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) said he will play in Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Rose has missed the last three games and sat out six of the last seven contests. Jeff Teague (foot) was limited when he returned last game, so there's a good chance that Rose is limited if he […]

Stephen Curry Provides 25 Points In Sunday's Win

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry made exactly half of his 18 shots in Sunday's win over Miami, finishing with 25 points. He went 5-for-10 from deep and sank both of his free throws.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: For my 500th article as a member of the RotoBaller writing team, Delon Wright will receive the prestigious honor of having me discuss why he is an asset of upside value for fantasy basketball managers proceeding past the 2019 All-Star break. The 26-year-old […]

Tyler Johnson (PG/SG, PHO) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 38% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Johnson had seen his role with the Miami Heat diminish steadily since the 2016-2017 season in which he averaged 29.8 minutes a contest, and this season through 44 games with Miami (including ten starting lineup appearances) he has been putting up 10.8 […]

Trae Young Scores Just 13 Points In Loss To The Magic

Atlanta Hawks rookie point guard Trae connected on 3-for-9 shooting to score 13 points and added seven assists, but it was not enough as his Hawks got trounced by the Magic on Sunday.

D.J. Augustin Dishes Out A Season-High 10 Assists

Orlando Magic point guard D.J. Augustin posted a full line on Sunday that included a double-double when the point guard recorded a season-high 10 assists while scoring 14 points in the win over the Hawks.

Devin Booker Returns And Scores 27 Points On Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker returned after sitting out two games due to a hamstring issue and played 35 minutes while knocking in 27 points in Sunday's loss. Booker also filled out the stat sheet with eight rebounds, six assists and three makes from three on the night. With the addition of Tyler Johnson, Booker […]

Tyler Johnson Is Quiet In Sunday's Start

Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson has taken over the starting point guard spot since his arrival in Phoenix and the athletic guard did not provide too much in Sunday's loss. Johnson connected on just four of 12 shooting for nine points and added three assists with five rebounds in 32 minutes of action. Johnson has […]

Tyus Jones Unlikely To Make Return For Monday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Tyus Jones has been listed as doubtful to play in Monday’s contest against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a left ankle sprain. The injury has kept Jones on the shelf for the previous 11 contests, although just getting listed on the report as anything but “out” is a step forward […]

Damian Lillard Shakes Off Rough Start On Sunday, Scores 30 Points

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard struggled to get going on Sunday against Dallas, but finished strongly and had 30 points in the end on 10-for-23 shooting. Dame went a superb 6-for-11 from downtown while dishing out five assists and recording two steals. His partner in crime C.J. McCollum had an awful outing, missing […]

Tony Parker Tagged As Doubtful For Monday’s Contest

Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker will likely remain sidelined for Monday’s outing versus the Indiana Pacers due to a back strain. Devonte’ Graham has stepped in to backup Kemba Walker with Parker out over the previous two games, although the team did claim Shelvin Mack off waivers Sunday. Parker will likely stay in the […]
