Mike Conley Is Available Versus The Nets

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley (shoulder) is expected to play against the Nets on Friday. The injury is to his shooting shoulder, but Conley expected to play all day after getting hurt on Wednesday. Since the Griz are playing the first of back-to-backs, Conley could see his minutes cut a tad. However, he should […]

Ricky Rubio Is Expected To Play On Friday

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio (foot) is available to play on Friday against the Cavaliers. This foot issue is different from the knee/back issues that cost him to miss last Saturday's game, so will see how long he can go tonight. Rubio is a strong play in all fantasy formats tonight, but if he […]

Matthew Dellavedova Has Been Ruled Out Against Jazz

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard/shooting guard Matthew Dellavedova (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Jazz.

RotoBaller NBA Recap: James Harden Triple-Dubs The Dubs

Thursday nights in the NBA always feature a notoriously light schedule, which means the games that are actually being played better be good to keep it from being a disappointing night. Last night, things didn't start out all that well. The Spurs walloped the Toronto Raptors in Kawhi Leonard's return to San Antonio in a […]

Ricky Rubio is Questionable for Friday

Utah Jazz guard Ricky Rubio (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Both players could […]

Kyle Lowry is Doubtful for Saturday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Lowry has missed each of the last five games and hasn't played in nine of the last 10.

Dwyane Wade Will Play on Friday

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade (illness) was able to participate in shootaround and will be active for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Jeff Teague Will Play on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (ankle) will return for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Teague has missed the last nine games, but will be back in the rotation for this one. It's unclear whether or not Teague is going to have a minutes limit on Friday. Derrick Rose (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable […]

Mike Conley Expected to Play on Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Mike Conley (shoulder) is expected to be able to suit up for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Conley said his shoulder "continues to progress", so that is a good sign that he'll be able to play. It sounds like Conley will be out there on Friday unless he suffers a setback […]

Derrick Rose Upgraded to Questionable

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic.

Jeff Teague Questionable For Friday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague is questionable to make his return to action Friday versus the Orlando Magic as he battles left ankle inflammation.

Kyle Lowry Ruled Out For Thursday’s Game

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry will be sidelined for Thursday’s contest versus the San Antonio Spurs after all following a roller coaster of designations prior to tip-off. Figure Fred Van Vleet to remain in the starting lineup in his absence and continue to see the lion’s share of ball-handling duties. Lowry’s absence will be […]

Ricky Rubio Listed As Questionable For Thursday

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio is tagged as questionable to play in Thursday’s game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers due to left foot soreness. When Rubio was absent earlier in the week, Dante Exum filled in excellently, so should Rubio be ruled out, the Jazz backcourt could present itself as a high-upside endeavor in DFS. […]

Kyrie Irving Ruled Out For Friday’s Game

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving will miss his second straight contest Friday versus the Dallas Mavericks after having his eye scratched during Monday’s game against the Spurs. Terry Rozier logged the start in Irving’s stead Wednesday and is likely in line to do so again with Irving out, putting Rozier up for strong DFS […]

Mike Conley Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley is questionable to suit up for Friday’s contest against the Brooklyn Nets due to left shoulder soreness. Add a shoulder injury to Conley’s rolodex of injuries during the first half of 2018-19, despite having missed just a single game. There was clearly something off with Conley during Wednesday’s game […]

Kyle Lowry Upgraded to Questionable on Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (back) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Lowry was listed as doubtful on Wednesday, but will test his back at shootaround and possibly play on Thursday.

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Gordon Hayward Shoots The Lights Out

This was just the second time in 12 Wednesday night games that two-thirds of the league was not in action. Last night also had to be one of the least dramatic midweek set of games of the season as five of the nine contests were decided by double-digits. Two of the four games that ended up […]

Tyus Jones Logs 40 Minutes In Near Double-Double

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Tyus Jones remained in the starting five Wednesday versus the Boston Celtics with Jeff Teague and Derrick Rose still sidelined, and Jones posted 14 points and nine assists in 40 minutes of action.

D'Angelo Russell Ties Career High With 13 Assists

Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell took advantage of Wednesday’s up-tempo match-up versus the New Orleans Pelicans, finishing with 22 points and a career-high-tying 13 assists.

Dennis Smith Jr. Steals The Show

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. had a high-quality performance Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. Smith Jr. scored a game-high 18 points going six for ten from the field with three of those made baskets coming from beyond the arc. In addition to Smith Jr.'s scoring production, he also had seven assists and three […]

Kemba Walker Underwhelms Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker didn't have his best outing Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets.
