Trail Blazers vs. Thunder NBA DFS Showdown Slate Picks, Value Plays - Thursday, January 11

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! Welcome back to our weekly showdown. Last week would have been an absolute banger had Michael Porter Jr. shown up to the game.

It appears safe to assume that he will remain […]

De'Anthony Melton Questionable Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Hawks. The 25-year-old has missed three games, but he's been back in practice this week, which is a sign that he's trending in the right direction and could be available again on Wednesday. Melton has done […]

Kyle Lowry Doubtful For Wednesday's Action

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (hand) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's meeting with the Thunder. He sprained his left hand on Monday versus Houston and hasn't yet shaken off the injury. Lowry's absence could result in another start for R.J. Hampton, although he hasn't been very productive for Miami. Tyler Herro and Josh […]

Jrue Holiday Questionable For Wednesday Night

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves. The 33-year-old veteran continues to deal with a right elbow sprain, an injury that's bothered him for weeks.

Marcus Smart Injures Finger Against The Mavs

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) exited Tuesday's win over the Dallas Mavericks. He didn't return. Ja Morant (shoulder) is done for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, and Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) wasn't available, so Smart was expected to be a top producer for the Grizzlies on Tuesday night. He met expectations, amassing 23 […]

Jose Alvarado Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (illness) is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Alvarado sat out on Sunday because of the issue, but hopefully he's feeling better now. His return would mean that Dyson Daniels would see a reduced role in the rotation. He wasn't an ideal streaming […]

Monte Morris Could Return This Month

Detroit Pistons guard Monte Morris (quad) has reportedly begun ramping up activities and is hopeful to return by the end of January. The veteran guard has not played this season while he continues to recover from a quad strain. The team announced in November that Morris would miss 6-8 weeks of action. Head coach Monty […]

Kyle Lowry Sprains Left Hand Versus Rockets

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry sprained his left hand in Monday's matchup against Houston and was limited to only 16 minutes on the court.

Derrick Rose Remains Out On Tuesday Night

Memphis Grizzlies guard Derrick Rose (hamstring) remains out on Tuesday versus the Dallas Mavericks. He has missed Memphis' previous three games because of a left hamstring strain, and he'll likely miss more time moving ahead. The oft-injured 35-year-old has averaged 8.4 points and 3.4 assists in 17 games this season, so he's not rostered in […]

Ja Morant To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery. The 24-year-old suffered a subluxation of his right shoulder on Saturday.

Tyrese Haliburton Won't Return On Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) won't return to Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. The star guard played only 13 minutes before exiting the contest.

Tyrese Haliburton Carried To Locker Room

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (groin, hamstring) was carried to the locker room during the second quarter of Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. Haliburton slipped while driving to the basket and appeared to injure his groin or hamstring. The star guard was unable to walk under his own power. The team had to carry […]

Ja Morant To Remain Out On Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Morant sat out of Sunday's game as well due to right shoulder soreness. His absence allowed Luke Kennard to move into the starting five. However, Vince Williams Jr. was the better fantasy option between the two. Williams scored […]

Andre Jackson Jr. Starting On Monday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Andre Jackson Jr. will move into the starting five ahead of Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The young guard will get the starting nod with Damian Lillard (personal) ruled out for this game. The expectation is that Jackson is going to play a significant role in the rotation. He should have […]

Luka Doncic Listed As Probable Versus Grizzlies

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) remained on the injury report for his ankle swelling but he's listed as probable for Tuesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. The MVP candidate was forced to miss one game due to the same swelling in his right ankle but was able to return to the court on Sunday […]

Dereck Lively II, Dante Exum Ruled Out Against Grizzlies

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) and guard Dante Exum (foot) have both been ruled out for their Tuesday night game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) has officially been ruled out of the team's game on Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings.
