Marcus Smart, Aron Baynes Both Questionable For Wednesday

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart and center Aron Baynes have both been tagged as questionable for Wednesday’s contest against the Toronto Raptors. Smart sat out Monday’s contest, which resulted in Jaylen Brown picking up the start, which could be the case Wednesday if Smart is unable to suit up due to his illness. As […]

Jeff Teague Will Suit Up Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague had been a game-time decision for Tuesday’s contest with the Philadelphia 76ers due to a sore left ankle, but will be able to give it a go. Teague is coming off a 10-assist performance in just 22 minutes versus New Orleans on Saturday, although he has averaged just better […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: James Harden's Scores Over 30, Again

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we will highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games. James Harden scored 57 points in Houston's win over the Grizzlies, breaking Kobe Bryant's record of consecutive 30-point games in the post-merger NBA with his 17th in a row. Elsewhere in the […]

Fred VanVleet Could Sit Out on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (hip/thigh) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. He missed Sunday's game, but he's seen his playing time decrease with Kyle Lowry back healthy. Delon Wright would serve as the main backup point guard if VanVleet is unable to play.

Dennis Smith Jr. is Questionable Against Spurs

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's missed the last three games due to back soreness, but now is reportedly dealing with an illness. The trade rumors are heating up, so this could be the Mavs just resting him until they find a trade […]

Jeff Teague is Uncertain for Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (ankle) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Teague tweaked his left ankle during Sunday's contest, but was able to practice on Monday. Derrick Rose (ankle) is expected to play despite dealing with an ankle injury. If either player sits out then Tyus Jones would gain […]

Jeremy Lin Downgraded to Doubtful for Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was probable due to a biceps issue, but is now dealing with flu-like symptoms that will likely sideline him for this contest. Kevin Huerter and Tyler Dorsey should see increased minutes if Lin sits out.

Derrick Rose is Likely to Play on Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) said he feels good and that he'll likely play in Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Jeff Teague (ankle) is questionable for this contest, so Rose could be looking at big minutes. Tyus Jones would see increased playing time if either Rose or Teague sit out. Fantasy owners should […]

Jrue Holiday Does A Bit Of Everything In Monday's Win

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday struggled with his shot on Monday when he made just eight of 24 shots but salvaged his line as he filled up the stat sheet in the win. Holiday ended the night with 19 points, eight assists, five rebounds, three steals, and two blocks while drilling two triples. Holiday […]

Damian Lillard's 35 Points Not Enough Against Kings

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard scored 35 points on Monday, but it wasn't enough to beat the Kings. C.J. McCollum had only six points, so Dame needed to carry a heavier load offensively, shooting 11-for-27 from the field, while going 4-for-12 from deep. Lillard had five assists, but he also committed six turnovers. […]

De'Aaron Fox Posts Decent Line Despite Poor Shooting

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox was cold from the field on Monday against Portland, but he still finished with 16 points, nine assists, and two steals. Fox was just 3-for-11 from the field, but he shot 9-for-10 from the line. It was a tough night, but he remained fully focused, recording his first game […]

Shabazz Napier (PG, BRK) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 6% of leagues ANALYSIS: Shabazz Napier is still just 27 years old, and in his fifth NBA season, he has already played for four franchises (Miami, Orlando, Portland, and Brooklyn). 33 games into the 2018-2019 campaign, Napier has averaged just 16.9 minutes per contest, and has only […]

Terry Rozier Disappoints In Start On Monday

Boston Celtics point guard Terry Rozier got added to the starting unit with Kyrie Irving (quad) sidelined and he probably wrecked a lot of DFS lineups in the process in the loss to the Nets. Rozier managed to score just seven points while dishing out five assists with three rebounds and a steal in 25 […]

D'Angelo Russell Puts Up 34 Points Against The Celtics

Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell continued his excellent play as of late when he went off for 34 points in the win over the Celtics on Monday. Russell connected on 13 of 26 shots and added seven triples with seven assists, five rebounds with a steal and a block, although he did commit five turnovers. […]

Derrick White Continues Hot Stretch With 18-Point Effort

San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Derrick White continued to find his groove within the team’s offense during Monday’s loss to the Charlotte Hornets. White finished with 18 points on 7-for-12 shooting, adding four rebounds and a team-high seven assists. Make that nine of the last 10 games in which White has finished in double figures, […]

Tony Parker Plays First Career Contest Versus Spurs

Charlotte Hornets point guard Tony Parker suited up in the visitor’s locker room during a game in San Antonio for the first time in his career Monday. Parker finished with a solid stat line of eight points, four assists and three rebounds, aggressive to the tune of 4-for-12 shooting in just 19 minutes of action. […]

Kemba Walker Drills Seven Threes En Route To 33 Points

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker led the charge during Monday’s victory over the San Antonio Spurs, finishing with 33 points on 13-for-27 shooting, including going 7-for-13 from long range. It marks the fifth time this season Walker has knocked down seven threes in a contest, bringing his season average up to 3.3 makes per […]

Mike Conley, Garrett Temple And Omri Casspi Step Up For Grizz

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley Jr. and shooting guard Garrett Temple each posted a team-high 14 points in Monday's 112-94 road loss against the Houston Rockets, while small forward Omri Casspi had 12 points to lead all bench scorers. Conley also added seven rebounds and seven assists, but his five turnovers didn't help those […]

James Harden Scores Season-High 57 Points In Home Rout

Houston Rockets point guard James Harden went off in Monday's 112-94 home victory against the Memphis Grizzlies, posting a season-best 57 points on 17-for-33 shooting from the field. He was a solid 6-for-15 from behind the three-point line while adding 17-for-18 from the free-throw line. He also added nine rebounds with two assists, two steals […]

Gary Harris is Questionable Against Warriors

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Harris has missed the last four games due to left hamstring tightness. Malik Beasley has been starting and Monte Morris is getting more minutes thrown his way as well. That will be more of the same if […]

Jeremy Lin is Expected to Play on Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (biceps) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Lin has been dealing with a biceps issue lately, but he hasn't missed any games because of it. He should be fine, but he's only seeing minutes in the 20s, so he's difficult to trust in most […]

Devin Booker Will Play on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (back) will play in Tuesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He made it through a full practice on Monday and will return after a three game absence. Head coach Igor Kokoskov said Booker won't have a minutes limit on Tuesday, so fantasy owners can feel free to plug Booker into […]

Derrick Rose is Questionable for Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Rose missed Saturday's game due to a right ankle issue, but still remains on the injury report on Monday. Tyus Jones would see increased playing time without Rose in the rotation. Fantasy owners should check back closer to […]

Tony Parker Will Play on Monday

Charlotte Hornets guard Tony Parker (rest) will play in Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The Hornets decided to rest Parker on Saturday in order to keep him rested and healthy. This will be his first game back in San Antonio, but Parker still isn't worth using in DFS contests on Monday.

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Nikola Jokic Carries Nuggets

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we will highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games. The Lakers, who are still without LeBron James, were upset at home by the Cleveland Cavaliers, which lowered the Lakers record to 3-7 with James sidelined. The Lakers have fallen all the […]

Marcus Smart Ruled Out for Monday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Kyrie Irving (quad) will also be sidelined on Monday, so the Celtics will be a little shorthanded at the guard position. That means Terry Rozier and Jaylen Brown are going to be solid DFS options for Monday.

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out Against Nets

Boston Celtics guard Kyrie Irving (quad) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was listed as questionable on Sunday, but it appears the Celtics are going to play it safe and rest Irving. Terry Rozier will jump into the starting five and be a popular DFS option for Monday.

Austin Rivers Shines In Sunday's Loss

Houston Rockets point guard Austin Rivers had a very successful night on Sunday against Orlando, shooting 10-for-14 from the field on his way to a season-high 25 points. He was 4-for-7 from deep and made his only attempt from the line. Rivers finished things off with a couple of assists and one steal. Chris Paul […]

James Harden Sees Three-Pointers Streak End In Awful Fashion

Houston Rockets guard James Harden, who had made at least five three-pointers in 12 consecutive games, couldn't stretch the streak any further on Sunday against Orlando, finishing a shocking 1-for-17 from behind the arc. He tied Damon Stoudamire for most missed triples in a single game throughout league history. However, Harden still managed to get […]

Damian Lillard Scores A Team-High 26 Points Versus Nuggets

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard recorded 26 points on 8-for-21 shooting in Sunday's three-point loss to the Denver Nuggets.
