Gordon Hayward is Considered Doubtful for Wednesday
Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward (illness) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He missed Monday's contest versus Detroit due to an illness. Marcus Morris and Jaylen Brown would likely benefit the most if Hayward is sidelined for a second straight game. Fantasy owners should check back for an update on […]
Jimmy Butler is Doubtful for Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (groin) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Butler did not participate in Tuesday's practice and left during the first quarter of Monday's game versus the Pistons. An MRI didn't reveal any significant damage, but it sounds like Butler is going to miss at least one game. […]
RotoBaller NBA Recap: James Vs. Wade, One Last Time
Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we will highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games. It was a busy night of NBA action, with 11 games on the docket. While not necessarily one of the most important fantasy-related takeaways of the night, we did witness the end […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo A Late Scratch Monday Night
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (neck) is ruled out Monday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Antetokounmpo was a late scratch due to neck soreness he experienced before tip-off. The injury is just soreness so it shouldn't be too serious. In Antetokounmpo's absence, Ersan Ilyasova will most likely start while the rest of the starters will […]
Evan Fournier Not With Team Monday
Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (personal) went back home and will not play Monday night against the Dallas Mavericks. While the reasons are unclear, it is urgent enough for Fournier to leave before tip-off Monday. Coach Steve Clifford has not decided on a replacement starter, but Terrence Ross and Jonathan Simmons figure to benefit the […]
Gordon Hayward Inactive Monday Night
Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward (illness) will not play Monday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Hayward was doubtful to play in this contest, so this comes as no surprise. Hayward joins four other Boston inactives Monday night, leaving the Celtics very thin on the depth chart. Marcus Smart will get the start while Jaylen […]
RotoBaller NBA Recap: Giannis Doing Giannis Things
Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we will highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games. We had four contests on the Sunday slate with the Pelicans beating the Pistons 116-108, the Bucks upending the Raptors 104-99, the Spurs defeating the Jazz 110-97 and the Hornets stinging the […]
Rodney Hood is Questionable on Monday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Rodney Hood (toe) is questionable for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Hood was unable to play in Saturday's contest and could be looking at his second straight game sidelined. Jordan Clarkson and Alec Burks would benefit in playing time without Hood in the rotation.
Gordon Hayward is Doubtful for Monday
Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward (illness) is doubtful for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Both Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Aron Baynes have been ruled out, so the Celtics could be shorthanded in this one. Marcus Smart would likely draw the start with Hayward on the sideline. He'd be someone worth looking at for […]
T.J. Warren Will Be Limited on Monday
Phoenix Suns forward T.J. Warren (ankle) will play in Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, but he'll play limited minutes. Warren missed the last five games, so the Suns will ease him back into action. Josh Jackson will probably still benefit from this, but maybe not as many minutes as he was playing without […]
Reggie Bullock Ruled Out on Monday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Bullock will officially miss his fourth game in a row. There is no indication that Bullock is anywhere close to returning. Stanley Johnson (knee) is questionable, but otherwise Bruce Brown will likely draw another start.
Stanley Johnson is Questionable on Monday
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Stanley Johnson (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Johnson has missed the last two games due to a left knee contusion. Bruce Brown could be in line for another start without Johnson, but he hasn't done much with his extra minutes lately.
Robert Covington is Uncertain for Monday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Robert Covington (knee) is listed as probable, but he reportedly has not been cleared to play yet. Head coach Tom Thibodeau will make his final decision after warmups. Josh Okogie would likely draw the start, assuming Covington is unable to play. Fantasy owners should check back after warmups.
Josh Richardson is Probable for Monday
Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (shoulder) is probable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Heat are getting back their players, so Richardson could lose a little value once the team gets healthy. The shoulder issue seems minor, so Richardson should be fine to suit up. He hasn't played well lately, but hopefully […]
Khris Middleton's Struggles Continue
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton continued his recent struggles, scoring 10 points on 3-for-9 shooting in Sunday's road win over the Toronto Raptors. Middleton has had a tumultuous past week or so, which was highlighted by getting benched for poor defensive effort on December 1st. To make matters even worse, the 27-year-old then missed Wednesday's […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo Matches Season High In Rebounding
Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 19 points to go along with 19 rebounds, six assists, one block and one three-pointer in Sunday's road victory over the Toronto Raptors. If you want to nitpick Antetokounmpo's game, he has attempted 2.5 threes per contest this season and is only connecting at an 11.9 percent rate. However, […]

Josh Jackson (SG/SF, PHO) - Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 36% of leagues ANALYSIS: For much of the early parts of this season, it looked like Josh Jackson was going to follow up an inconsistent and ultimately disappointing rookie campaign with an even more inconsistent and disappointing second year. His name had started to swirl in some […]
Kevin Knox Explodes Against Hornets
New York Knicks small forward Kevin Knox had the best game of his young career on Sunday, finishing with 26 points and 15 rebounds against the Hornets. It wasn't an efficient performance in 41 minutes, as he shot a lowly 10-for-25 from the field, but Knox got the job done. He was spectacular from downtown, […]
Joe Ingles Quiet In Sunday's Loss To The Spurs
Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles had an off night on Sunday when he recorded just five points but salvaged his line with five rebounds and five assists in the loss to the San Antonio Spurs.

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard/small forward Marco Belinelli recorded 10 points with many extras in his club's win on Sunday. Belinelli connected on 4-for-9 shooting while knocking down two makes from three and adding three assists with two rebounds with a steal and a block in 24 minutes of action.

Rudy Gay Hauls In A Team-High 15 Rebounds With 23 Points
San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay dominated the glass on Sunday and scored 23 points to help secure the win over the Utah Jazz. Gay connected on 10 of 16 shots while grabbing 15 rebounds with two assists and a block and a steal in 34 minutes. Gay seems to be near his pre-injury form […]

Pascal Siakam Provides Another Full Line In Sunday's Loss
Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam registered 17 points with seven rebounds to go along with two assists and three blocks in the five-point loss to the Bucks on Sunday.
