RotoBaller NBA Recap: Trio Of Veteran Unsung Heroes Produce Huge Games

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA recap. In this feature, we highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from the previous night's slate of NBA games. Following the usual light schedule on Tuesday, there was a lot of action on Wednesday with 11 games on the docket. This is the eighth time this year that at least two-thirds of […]

Kevin Durant's 30 Points Not Enough On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant recorded a team-high 30 points, but it was nowhere near enough as the Raptors blew away his club by a score of 113-93 on Wednesday. Durant added seven rebounds to go along with five assists and two makes from three while committing five turnovers in 33 minutes. Durant did […]

Pascal Siakam Once Again Plays Well In Wednesday's Win

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam continued his coming out season on Wednesday when he posted another full line against the defending champs. Siakam scored 13 points with three rebounds while adding three dimes with two steals and a block, but it was not all good as the forward did commit five turnovers on the night. […]

Josh Richardson Continues To Struggle On Wednesday

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson continued his shooting struggles on Wednesday when he made just four of 11 shots in his club's loss to the Jazz. Richardson finished the night with 11 points and added two assists with two rebounds while logging a minus-21 while he was on the floor. J-Rich is in […]

Jayson Tatum Records A Double-Double In Wednesday's Win

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum notched his second double-double of the season on Wednesday when he scored 12 points and added 12 rebounds to help secure the overtime win. Tatum struggled a bit from the floor as he made just six of his 16 shot attempts and missed all four of his attempts from three […]

Marcus Morris Stays Hot By Recording 27 Points On Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris put up 27 points while adding nine rebounds to help secure the win in overtime on Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. Morris connected on 11-for-20 shooting while adding a single make from three and he also dished out two assists in 40 minutes. Morris has scored 58 points on 21 […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Takes Season-Low Seven Shots

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was quiet in his return to the lineup Wednesday versus the Indiana Pacers, attempting a season-low seven shots. The Bucks were outscored by 31 points with Antetokounmpo on the floor, his worst plus-minus of the season by a hefty margin, but he was still able to produce a double-double […]

Paul George Goes Off For Team-High 25 Points

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Paul George led the way with a team-high 25 points during Wednesday’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. George added 11 rebounds, giving him his ninth double-double of the season while also adding five assists and two steals. In addition to leading the league in steals per game (2.24) entering […]

Allen Crabbe Stays Hot With 20-Point Performance

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard/small forward Allen Crabbe is in the midst of a strong groove, going for 20 points and five rebounds while knocking down four threes in Wednesday’s win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Crabbe has now made at least three three-pointers in seven of his last eight games, including 19 total makes from deep […]

Ben Simmons Packs Stat Sheet With Strong 22-Point Night

Philadelphia 76ers point guard/small forward Ben Simmons finished Wednesday’s loss to the Brooklyn Nets with 22 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, four steals and two blocks, giving his game an all-around flavor. He had been held below 20 points in each of his last seven contests, one of which included Brooklyn. After a 2-for-9 performance […]

Harrison Barnes Hot From Three-Point Line

Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes had his three-point stroke working Wednesday against the Hawks, going 5-for-8 from beyond the arc on his way to scoring 25 points. His season's .403 percentage is well above his career average of .370, adding another dimension to his game. He is a good fantasy option for points and threes. […]

Luka Doncic Fills Up Stat Sheet

Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic continued his fine rookie season Wednesday against the Hawks, registering 24 points, 10 rebounds and six assists while going 12-for-15 from the free-throw line. With an ability to play four positions, he is a strong fantasy asset, as he is eligible at guard and forward. Doncic should have another fine […]

Kawhi Leonard To Miss Wednesday’s Game

Toronto Raptors small forward Kawhi Leonard will miss his second consecutive game due to a bruised hip Wednesday versus the Golden State Warriors. The move will allow Fred Van Vleet to move into the starting lineup, with Leonard’s next chance to return to action coming Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. After sitting out Tuesday, […]

Reggie Bullock Remains Out While Stanley Johnson Is Active

The Detroit Pistons will be without guard Reggie Bullock (ankle) again Wednesday night, but will have guard/forward Stanley Johnson (knee) in the lineup against the Charlotte Hornets. Bullock will miss fifth straight game as the Detroit medical staff is taking his rehab slowly and could miss more time. Johnson will return after a three-game absence […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Is It Time to Trade Chris Paul?

Imagine being so great at doing something that you could take away the main element which has led to your greatness and still be better than almost everyone else at doing whatever your great thing is. Example: Back in 1986, the Boston Celtics played a game against the Portland Trailblazers. In Portland. Larry Bird -- […]

Jeff Green Will Start For Otto Porter Against Celtics

Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter (knee) will sit out Wednesday night against the Boston Celtics. Porter has been day-to-day with a bone bruise he suffered Monday and does not feel good enough to go Wednesday. Jeff Green will get the spot start and would be a low-cost option for the DFS slate Wednesday. Green offers […]

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out Wednesday Night

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (groin) will sit out Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Butler was doubtful to play in this one after missing Tuesday's practice and is considered day-to-day per Coach Brett Brown. Furkan Korkmaz will get the spot start and would be an interesting DFS play against the fast-paced Nets. For those […]

Andre Iguodala Won't Play on Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This will be the second straight game that Iguodala has been sidelined. Alfonzo McKinnie should see an increase in playing time, but probably not enough worth using him in DFS contests.

Gordon Hayward Ruled Out on Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Hayward didn't join the Celtics on this trip to Washington, so clearly the illness is serious. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum will both benefit from the loss of Hayward.

Kevin Knox Could Start on Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox could draw the start against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. Knox dropped 26 points with 15 rebounds in 41 minutes on Sunday. Mario Hezonja would head to the bench if Knox is given the start for Wednesday's contest. Knox has been inconsistent, but he's hot right now and could […]

Stanley Johnson Could Play on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Stanley Johnson (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's missed the last three games, but there is a good chance that Johnson is able to return on Wednesday. Johnson should be able to get fairly solid playing time with the Pistons banged up. However, it's difficult […]

Reggie Bullock Upgraded to Questionable

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (ankle) has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. That is a good sign that possibly Bullock might be able to get on the court. Bruce Brown and Luke Kennard would benefit the most if Bullock remains out.

James Ennis Will Miss A Week or Two

Houston Rockets guard/forward James Ennis (hamstring) will miss one to two weeks of game action after suffering a right hamstring strain. The Rockets are likely going to be cautious with Ennis since this is his second hamstring injury this season. Eric Gordon should move into the starting lineup while Gerald Green gets more minutes with […]

T.J. Warren Scores 23 Points In 25 Minutes

Phoenix Suns small forward/power forward T.J. Warren scored a team-high 23 points on 9-for-16 shooting from the field and 1-for-5 from the three-point line. The 25-year-old contributed six rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes. It was his second game back after missing five contests with ankle soreness. He has now led the Suns in […]

Rudy Gay Scores in Double-Figures Again

San Antonio Spurs small forward/power forward Rudy Gay filled the stat sheet with 13 points, four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in Tuesday's victory over the Suns. He was 4-for-7 from the field, 1-for 3 from beyond the arc, and 4-for-4 from the charity stripe. The 32-year-old, who is shooting 56.9 percent […]

Tobias Harris Cools Off In The Loss

Los Angeles Clippers forward Tobias Harris could not follow up his 33-point outing from Monday as he managed to score just 10 points in his club's 24-point loss to the Toronto Raptors. Harris connected on four of 10 shooting and added just three rebounds with a single assist while missing all three of his attempts […]

Danilo Gallinari Quiet In Tuesday's Loss

Los Angeles Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari registered just 11 points on Tuesday when his club got blown away by the Toronto Raptors. Gallinari connected on four of 10 shots from the floor and added five rebounds with two assists and a steal with a single make from three. Gallo played just 21 minutes as this […]

Pascal Siakam Continues Steady Play In Tuesday's Win

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam continued to post excellent lines when he scored 13 points on an efficient 6-for-9 shooting while adding some solid extras in the blowout win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday. Siakam added a make from distance while dishing out five assists with three rebounds to go along with a […]

Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out Tuesday

Toronto Raptors small forward Kawhi Leonard will miss Tuesday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a bruised hip. Leonard had been listed as questionable earlier in the day, but will ultimately not suit up, leading to increased roles on the wing for Danny Green and Pascal Siakam. Leonard has a quick turnaround with […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Return Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is likely to return to action Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers after having sat out Monday’s game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a neck ailment. It was the second game Antetokounmpo has missed this season, next drawing a match-up against a Pacers team he went for 26 points […]
