Gordon Hayward Leads Celtics In Plus/Minus

Boston Celtics small forward Gordon Hayward filled the stat sheet during Wednesday’s win over the Chicago Bulls, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds, four assists and three steals, with the Celtics finishing plus-24 while he was on the floor.

Jaylen Brown Scores Season-High 18 Points

Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown scored a season-high 18 points during Wednesday night's win over the Chicago Bulls.

Jayson Tatum Knocks Down Quartet Of Threes

Boston Celtics power forward Jayson Tatum stayed hot from long range, knocking down 4-for-8 from three-point range during Wednesday’s win over the Chicago Bulls.

Phoenix Suns small forward Mikal Bridges will make his first career start on Wednesday night against the Spurs. The 6-foot-7 rookie replaces veteran Trevor Ariza (personal) in the starting lineup.

Trevor Ariza Not With Team Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward Trevor Ariza (personal) will miss Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Ariza is away from the team for personal reasons which have not been confirmed. In Ariza's absence, Mikal Bridges will be getting the starting nod while T.J. Warren and Josh Jackson should also get more run on the wing.

Wesley Matthews Good To Go Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) will play Wednesday night against the Utah Jazz. Matthews missed Monday's game with a hamstring injury, but was listed as probable coming into Wednesday. Still, due to the nature of hamstring injuries, it is encouraging Matthews is only missing one game with the injury. Dorian Finney-Smith will return to […]

Derrick Rose Will Not Play Wednesday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Derrick Rose (knee) will be sidelined Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Rose is battling some knee soreness and will get the night off as the Timberwolves exercise caution. In Rose's absence, newly acquired forward Robert Covington will make his debut in the starting lineup and should fit in nicely with […]

Cedi Osman Will Return Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (back) will play Wednesday night against the Washington Wizards. Osman has missed his last two games with back spasms, but after returning to practice, he feels ready enough to get back onto the court.

We have an 11-game slate tonight, with fantastic options at each position, so you will be looking to jam some of these studs in your lineups. We are a few games into the season and starting to see some good numbers when it comes to usage rate and fantasy points per minute. In this article, […]

Wesley Matthews is Probable on Wednesday

Cedi Osman Remains Questionable on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He returned to practice on Monday, but didn't play in Tuesday's contest versus the Charlotte Hornets. It's fairly safe to assume that if he didn't play Tuesday, then he probably won't be ready for Wednesday. Kyle Korver (foot) has already […]

Nikola Mirotic Will Play on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Mirotic shouldn't be facing a minutes limit after only missing two games with a minor ankle issue. Julius Randle should head back to the bench and see his value take a hit. E'Twaun Moore is expected to lose some […]

Kyle Korver Ruled Out on Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Kyle Korver (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game. He didn't practice on Monday and missed Tuesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Luc Mbah a Moute is Questionable for Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Luc Mbah a Moute (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He's been out since October 23, but head coach Doc Rivers continues to hint that Mbah a Moute is close. He'll likely have a minutes limit once he returns and it's already unclear when that will […]

Jonathan Isaac Will Play on Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He will be working under a minutes limit because he's missed the last six games.

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Addition By Subtraction

We've all heard the phrase, "addition by subtraction" - a phrase which, by definition, is impossible to comprehend. I mean, how can you complete the process of adding something to something else while taking one number or amount away from another? It makes no sense. Unless, of course, you're the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, or Golden State […]

Nikola Vucevic, Evan Fournier Will Play on Wednesday

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (soreness) and guard/forward Evan Fournier (soreness) will play in Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Head coach Steve Cifford said both players are dealing with minor injuries, but will play through them. The Magic have played seven games in 11 days, so it makes sense why some players are dealing […]

James Ennis Effective Against Nuggets

Houston Rockets forward James Ennis scored 16 points on 6-for-8 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He also added four rebounds and a pair of blocks. Ennis has been wildly inconsistent with his scoring output for the Rockets this season, and coming into Tuesday's game had scored a combined seven points over his […]

Jimmy Butler is Starting on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler will make his Sixers debut on Wednesday versus the Orlando Magic. He'll join Ben Simmons, J.J.

Derrick Jones is Questionable on Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Derrick Jones (illness) didn't participate in shootaround and is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's been inconsistent all season, meaning DFS players should stay away regardless of his status. Justise Winslow should see a few extra minutes if Jones sits out. More information should be known closer to […]

Kevin Durant Scores 29 Points Without Draymond Green

Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant scored 29 points during Tuesday's win over the Atlanta Hawks. Durant hit nine of 23 shots and 11 of 11 free throws to go along with six rebounds, three assists, two steals and a block in 37 minutes. Not a bad showing after Monday's tumultuous display between him and […]

Kevin Knox Will Start on Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Damyean Dotson will head to the bench and that will likely be the case for the foreseeable future. Knox has scored 17 points over his last two games, so the Knicks will ride his hot […]

Dario Saric, Robert Covington Will Play on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves forwards Dario Saric and Robert Covington will make their debuts with the Wolves on Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Head coach Tom Thibodeau didn't say whether they would start or not. Taj Gibson could continue drawing starts until Saric is up to speed, but regardless Saric should see plenty of minutes. DFS […]

Nicolas Batum Has 11 Points Against Cavs

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum had 11 points on 5-for-12 shooting in Tuesday's 113-89 loss to Cleveland, finishing with 11 points. Three of his missed came from downtown.

P.J. Tucker Starting Tuesday

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker (illness) will start Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets. Tucker came into the contest questionable with an illness but was fully expected to play through it. Should Tucker suffer any sort of a setback, Gary Clark would get more run but is not currently a recommended fantasy option.

Rudy Gay And Pau Gasol Sitting Out Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (rest) and forward/center Pau Gasol (foot) will not play Wednesday night against the Phoenix Suns. Gay is getting a night off before the Spurs enter a back-to-back on Wednesday and Thursday while Gasol is not expected to play during the road trip with foot soreness. With the absences of […]
