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 […]

Ben Simmons Puts Up Season-High 29 points In The Win

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons could not be stopped by the Suns on Wednesday when he registered a season-high 29 points on a decent 15 of 23 shooting from the line. Simmons also dished out six dimes with three rebounds and a block on the night. With all the long wing players on the Suns, […]

Gordon Hayward Erupts For Season-High 35 Points

Boston Celtics small forward Gordon Hayward was virtually unstoppable during Wednesday’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing 14-for-18 from the floor en route to a season-high 35 points. On the heels of a scoreless performance Monday, Hayward completely flipped the script for his best showing in over two years. There must be something in facing […]

Andrew Wiggins Delivers Season-High 31-Point Performance

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Andrew Wiggins dropped 31 points Wednesday versus the Boston Celtics, while logging a season-high 43 minutes. With Robert Covington, Jeff Teague and Derrick Rose all out of action, Wiggins took the offensive initiative, finishing 10-for-18 from the floor. It was a quiet night elsewhere in his stat line -- three […]

Joe Harris Continues Knocking Down Threes To Open 2019

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard/small forward Joe Harris open 2019 much in the same fashion that he closed 2018: by hitting threes. Harris recorded 21 points in 29 minutes during Wednesday’s victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, his fourth 20-point contest of the year. He reached that plateau on the back of three made triples, having […]

Harrison Barnes Struggles With Jumper

Dallas Mavericks small forward Harrison Barnes didn't have his best outing versus the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Barnes scored 17 points but went 5-of-14 shooting from the floor with four rebounds. Since the first of December Barnes has averaged 19.4 points a game. For fantasy owners in season-long leagues, Barnes is very much a one […]

Luka Doncic Continues Stellar Rookie Campaign

Dallas Mavericks small forward Luka Doncic had a solid outing versus the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Doncic scored 18 points on 7-of-16 shooting with three of those made buckets coming from downtown. Besides the scoring production, Doncic also had 10 boards and four assists. In the last ten contests, Doncic is averaging 24 points, 6.4 […]

Paul George Rolls Up 37 Points In Road Victory In L.A.

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Paul George registered 37 points on 15-for-29 from the field over 34 minutes in Wednesday's 107-100 win against the Los Angeles Lakers in his hometown. He also added four rebounds, four steals and two assists with one turnover while dropping in a pair of three-pointers. PG13 posted a ridiculous 30.8 […]

Josh Richardson Scores 24 Points In Wednesday's Win

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson posted 24 points which were the most since November 23rd in the blowout win over the Cavaliers on Wednesday. Richardson added five dimes with two rebounds and four triples. J-Rich connected on an efficient 9-for-16 shooting after struggling for much of December when he connected on just 35.9% […]

Jonah Bolden Along With Furkan Korkmaz To Start Versus Suns

Philadelphia 76ers power forward Jonah Bolden will replace Wilson Chandler (illness) and shooting guard/ small forward Furkan Korkmaz will take the place of Jimmy Butler (illness) in the starting lineup against the Suns on Wednesday. It will be Bolden's first career start while Korkmaz has started two previous games, averaging 12 points along with three […]

Wilson Chandler Will Not Play Against The Suns

Philadelphia 76ers small forward/power forward Wilson Chandler (illness) will not play against the Suns on Wednesday due to an upper respiratory infection. Chandler reportedly caught the same bug that will cause Jimmy Butler to miss the game. Mike Muscala or Amir Johnson will likely get the start in place of Chandler. Regardless of whether he […]

Rudy Gay Doubtful For Thursday’s Contest

San Antonio Spurs small/power forward Rudy Gay will likely be absent from Thursday’s game against the Toronto Raptors due to a wrist injury. Davis Bertans saw an extended role with Gay missing Monday’s game, and could again, as it appears doubtful Gay will be able to face his former team Thursday. Gay has had a […]

Tristan Thompson and Rodney Hood Both Cleared For Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson and shooting guard/small forward Rodney Hood will play in Wednesday’s match-up versus the Miami Heat, both having previously been listed as questionable. Thompson is returning from a 10-game absence due to a sprained foot and figures to heavily affect the workload of Larry Nance Jr. upon his return. It’s been […]

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Contest

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler will be absent for Wednesday’s meeting versus the Phoenix Suns due to an illness. Furkan Korkmaz has seen the biggest uptick in role when Butler has been sidelined since joining Philadelphia, but Joel Embiid also sees a larger share of role in the offense with Butler in street […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: All Hail Jusuf Nurkic

When the Blazers and Kings took the floor Tuesday night, no player in the history of the NBA had ever recorded a 2o-plus point, 20-plus rebound, five-assist, five-steal, five-block game. 24 points, 23 rebounds, seven assists, five steals, and five blocks later, one of the most unlikely of candidates to accomplish this mystifying feat had […]

Rodney Hood Listed as Questionable on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Rodney Hood (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Hood has been sidelined each of the last four games due to a sore Achilles. Alec Burks and Jordan Clarkson would see more playing time if Hood is out again on Wednesday.

James Johnson Will Play Against Cavs

Miami Heat forward James Johnson (illness) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Johnson will be back in the rotation following a one-game absence. Derrick Jones will lose playing time with Johnson back on the court. Johnson isn't worth adding in most formats right now, but fantasy owners should keep him on […]

Jeremy Lamb Won't Play on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was listed as doubtful earlier in the week, so not surprising to see him sitting this one out. Devonte' Graham is in line to get the start, so he could be someone worth looking at in DFS […]

Otto Porter Will Play on Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Porter has missed the last three weeks due to a right knee issue. Fantasy owners should expect Porter to be on a minutes limit for this one. Jeff Green is expected to lose some playing time with Porter returning.

Robert Covington Won't Play on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Robert Covington (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Covington is dealing with a sore right ankle, so he's not expected to miss a bunch of time. Both Josh Okogie and Dario Saric are going to see increased playing time. Saric offers more upside than Okogie, so […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Scores 16 Against Nuggets

New York Knicks small forward Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 16 points on 7-for-12 shooting in Tuesday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. Hardaway also added two rebounds and two assists. Hardaway is averaging a career-high 20.6 points per game this season for the Knicks, but he's scored under 20 points in six of his last seven […]

Jonathon Simmons Ruled Out on Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This will be the second straight game that Simmons has missed due to a left ankle issue. Jerian Grant will see increased playing time once again against the Bulls.

Kevin Knox Scores 18 Against Nuggets

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox scored 18 points on 7-for-16 shooting in Tuesday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. He also added four rebounds, an assist, and a steal. He was 2-for-3 from deep. Knox is averaging 18.6 points per game on 41 percent shooting over the last 11 games and is making 2.5 threes […]

Danilo Gallinari Has Picked Up His Scoring And Rebounding Lately

Los Angeles Clippers small forward Danilo Gallinari produced a solid game in Tuesday's loss to the 76ers with 21 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and one steal.

Khris Middleton Produces 22 Points In Tuesday's Win

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton scored very efficiently on Tuesday against the Pistons, notching up 22 points in just 28 minutes. He went 9-for-14 from the field with three of his misses coming from downtown. Middleton also had five rebounds and two assists in what was his third consecutive 20-plus point performance. Middleton has […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Takes It Easy On Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo went easy on the Pistons in Tuesday's 121-98 win, finishing with only 15 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. The Greek Freak came into the match following three consecutive 30-plus point performances, and he played well, but in a blowout loss, there simply weren't enough minutes for him to reach […]

Kawhi Leonard Puts Up A Career-High 45 Points In The Win

Toronto Raptors shooting guard/small forward Kawhi Leonard recorded a career-best 45 points in his club's six-point victory over the Utah Jazz on Tuesday. Leonard hit 16 of 22 shots which included a perfect 7-for-7 in the third quarter where he tallied 19 points and also managed to grab six total rebounds on the night, but […]

Pascal Siakam Records A Career-Best 28 Points With 10 Rebounds

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam netted a career-high 28 points with 10 rebounds in Tuesday's victory over the Utah Jazz by a score of 122-116.

Jae Crowder Records A Career-High 30 Points In Loss

Utah Jazz forward Jae Crowder erupted for a career-high 30 points off the bench in Tuesday's loss to the Toronto Raptors. Crowder got hot from deep when he nailed five of seven threes to go along with 7-for-7 from the line while hauling in six rebounds. It was nice seeing this output for the 3-and-D […]
