Stephen Curry Has One Of Those Nights

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry went off for an insane 51 points and he needed just three quarters to secure his incredible performance on Wednesday as his club got the win. Curry shot 15-for-24 from the field, 11-for-16 from three and a perfect 11-for-11 from the line while adding four rebounds, three assists with […]

Kyle Lowry Has Another Double-Digit Assist Game

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry continued to dazzle with his passing, racking up his third straight double-digit assist game on Monday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Eric Gordon Builds A Brick House Versus Jazz

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon dropped brick after brick in Wednesday's 100-89 loss to Utah, shooting 5-for-21 from the field and a shocking 1-for-12 from downtown. He played a team-high 40 minutes and had four rebounds with three assists, but the shooting was unacceptable, and it came at a really bad time, as this was […]

Mike Conley Scores 27 Points In The Win

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley finally put together an efficient line as he shot 10-for-22 from the field after shooting just 34.1% from the floor in his club's first three games.

James Harden Scores 29 Points Before Early Exit

Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored 29 points on 10-for-19 shooting Wednesday against Utah, missing just once with his four attempts from deep before making an early exit with a tight hamstring.

Ricky Rubio Records More Turnovers Than Points

Utah Jazz point guard Ricky Rubio looked awful in Wednesday's 100-89 road win at Houston, shooting 1-for-8 from the field and finishing with more turnovers (six) than points (four).

Devin Booker Leaves Game With A Hamstring Injury

Goran Dragic Leads Heat Over Knicks On Wednesday

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic scored 13 points with five rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes of play in a win over the New York Knicks. He had a mediocre game, but he should be fine moving forward. He was not needed much in this game, as his teammates did all the damage […]

Frank Ntilikina Struggles In Loss Versus Heat

New York Knicks point guard Frank Ntilikina only scored nine points with three rebounds and five assists in a loss to the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. He has been up and down this season, but he has shown signs of improvement. For now, though, he is a drop candidate. You can snap him up […]

Collin Sexton Still Adjusting To The NBA

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton had a decent outing Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Sexton tallied 14 points on six of ten shooting. This was the second game for Sexton shooting above 60 percent from the floor but unfortunately, Sexton has just as many games going less 30 percent from the field. With the […]

Jordan Clarkson Shoots Poorly

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Jordan Clarkson didn't have a very good performance Wednesday night versus the Brooklyn Nets. Clarkson scored 14 points going 4-for-14 from the floor.

D'Angelo Russell Leads Nets In Scoring

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell may have been the game's leading scorer but he did so very inefficiently Wednesday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/24/18): NBA DFS Lineups

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Blake Griffin is the GOAT

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap where we'll highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's three-game slate because a 1,000-word love letter to Blake Griffin would be frowned upon. (Although, merited to the utmost degree.) More on Blake in a bit, but while we're here, sign me up for a first-round, 4-seed/5-seed playoff matchup […]

Ben Simmons Remains Questionable on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Simmons was not able to practice on Monday and didn't play in Tuesday's game. There is a good chance he's not going to suit up for this contest. Landry Shamet could jump into the starting five again, but he didn't […]

Cameron Payne Will Start Against Hornets

Chicago Bulls point guard Cameron Payne will draw the start against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Kris Dunn (knee) is out four-to-six weeks, so it sounds like Payne is going to jump in that role. Payne is expected to split time with Ryan Arcidiacono. Tyler Ulis and Shaquille Harrison could get involved as well. This […]

Jamal Murray Leads Nuggets In Scoring Against Kings

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray scored a team-high 19 points on 6-for-10 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Sacramento Kings.

Delon Wright Will Play on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Delon Wright (groin) will make his regular season debut on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Wright is likely going to be limited in his first game back. It's unclear what kind of role he's going to have once he's fully healthy. Wright could take away playing time from Fred Vanvleet and […]

De'Aaron Fox Ineffective Against Nuggets

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox played just 21 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets, finishing with six points on 2-for-8 shooting. He grabbed a rebound, had an assist, and swiped away a pair of steals. Fox had been off to a good start to the year, but it's concerning to see him play […]

Frank Mason III Scores 14 Points Against Nuggets

Sacramento Kings guard Frank Mason III was 6-for-10 from the floor for 14 points in Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets, adding in a team-high seven assists plus five rebounds and a steal as well. But through four games, Mason's playing time has been impossible to predict, with a DNP against the Thunder, a five-minute showing […]

Reggie Jackson Scores 23 Points Against Sixers

Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson continued his strong start to the 2018-2019 season in Tuesday's win over Philadelphia, scoring 23 points on 7-for-14 shooting and adding in three rebounds and three assists.

Ish Smith Scores 21 Points Off Bench

Detroit Pistons point guard Ish Smith scored 21 points on 9-for-12 shooting off the bench in Tuesday's overtime win over the 76ers. He made two of his three attempts from deep and added three assists. Smith is taking two more shots per game this year than he has over the past two seasons for the […]
