Damian Lillard is Probable for Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (knee) is considered probable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He sat out of Tuesday's practice, but said he hopes to play on Wednesday. This injury doesn't sounds serious, so Lillard should be able to play through a little discomfort. Fantasy owners should expect him to play, […]

Jeff Teague Remains Questionable for Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (knee) remains questionable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He played 35 minutes as a starter on Monday, but was limping around at times. It appears that maybe Teague has not fully recovered yet. Derrick Rose would likely draw the start if Teague sits out. Fantasy owners should […]

Elfrid Payton Remains Questionable on Wednesday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) remains questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Payton has missed the last eight games with an ankle issue.

Avery Bradley is Questionable Against Spurs
Los Angeles Clippers guard Avery Bradley (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Bradley has missed the last four games, but has a chance to return on Thursday. It's unclear if Bradley will be under a minutes limit, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has taken over the starting spot anyway. It's unlikely that […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Addition By Subtraction
We've all heard the phrase, "addition by subtraction" - a phrase which, by definition, is impossible to comprehend. I mean, how can you complete the process of adding something to something else while taking one number or amount away from another? It makes no sense. Unless, of course, you're the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, or Golden State […]

Markelle Fultz Heads to The Bench
Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz will come off the bench versus the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. The addition of Jimmy Butler might've killed off all hopes of Fultz returning to the starting lineup this season. J.J. Redick makes more sense with alongside Butler, so that's what head coach Brett Brown is going to use for […]

Emmanuel Mudiay Joins Starting Five on Wednesday
New York Knicks guard Emmanuel Mudiay will join the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Frank Nitlikina will head to the bench after logging in just six minutes last game. Head coach David Fizdale is shaking up his lineup, but that doesn't mean this is a long term move. Nitlikina should […]

Quinn Cook Rebounds On Tuesday
Golden State Warriors guard Quinn Cook was able to recover from Monday night's seven-point outing with 18 points, four rebounds and six assists in 34 minutes on Tuesday.

Russell Westbrook Participates in Shootaround
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) participated in shootaround, but is listed as out for the Wednesday's contest.

Fantasy owners should […]

Kemba Walker Plays Very Poorly Versus Cleveland
Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker failed to take advantage of a superb matchup on Tuesday against the Cavs and ended up posting a dud, scoring only seven points with 2-for-16 shooting in 36 minutes.

Jeremy Lin (PG/SG, ATL) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been seemingly a lifetime since "Linsanity" and it's also been a lengthy stretch of time since Jeremy Lin has seen considerable NBA court time (before his 13 games this season he had played just 37 games since 2016). From the surface, Lin's […]

Russell Westbrook Participates in Practice
Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) participated in Tuesday's practice. It was a fairly light practice where he was able to do some running and cutting.

J.R. Smith Will Play on Tuesday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed Monday's practice due to an illness, but has been removed from the injury report. Cedi Osman (back) and Kyle Korver (foot) will be sidelined for this game.
