NBA DFS Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Pelicans vs. Lakers Thursday Night Showdown

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! Welcome back to our weekly showdown. I feel like we have been here before, we have had the Lakers a lot this season and you would think that means we have their rotation down. With everyone finally healthy, it finally looks like we have a little more straightforward of a slate. At […]

Andrew Wiggins Active For Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (finger) is available for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Wiggins will make his return to the starting five after missing the past two games due to a index finger contusion. His return should push Moses Moody back to the second unit. The expectation is that Wiggins is […]

Pat Connaughton To Remain Out Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) will remain on the sideline for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This marks the fourth game in a row that Connaughton has missed due to a right ankle sprain. His absence should mean more minutes for MarJon Beauchamp and AJ Green in the rotation. Normally, neither of them […]

Landry Shamet Will Not Suit Up Against 76ers

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (rib) has been downgraded to out against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. The sharpshooter is dealing with a right rib sprain that ultimately gave him too much pain to play through. While he's on the sidelines, Jordan Poole (ankle) and Johnny Davis (calf) will both see more minutes if they […]

Anthony Edwards Has Been Upgraded To Active On Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hip) will play on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs and head coach Chris Finch said that he won't be restricted either. Edwards has been the leader of the team's offense as the Timberwolves currently sit at the top of the Western Conference. He's missed the last two games with […]

Devin Vassell Probable For Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (knee) is probable for Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota. The 23-year-old is managing a left knee issue but should be good to go for the game. Vassell has been coming off the bench lately, but he's still remained a productive player, even leading the team in scoring on a couple […]

Dean Wade Listed As Questionable Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (ankle) could be available again on Wednesday against Orlando, landing on the injury report with a questionable tag. After missing six games, Wade has been able to get through two practice sessions this week and appears to be trending in a positive direction. If he's good to go, Wade should […]

Caris LeVert Sits Out Second Consecutive Game

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (knee) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus Orlando. He didn't practice on Tuesday and will watch things from the sidelines, as he also did on Saturday versus Detroit. With him on the shelf, Isaac Okoro almost doubled his regular playing time over the weekend, […]

Jonathan Isaac Questionable For Wednesday's Matchup

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) is questionable to suit up Wednesday versus Cleveland. Isaac sprained his right ankle in a game against Washington last week and was kept out of action Saturday versus Brooklyn. He's had a lot of health issues in his career, and Orlando likely wants to be very careful with him. […]

Joe Harris Considered Doubtful Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Joe Harris (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's contest against the Grizzlies. The veteran is recovering from a shoulder sprain and will likely miss a 14th consecutive game. Having dropped 17 games in a row, the Pistons could use all the help they can get, but Harris didn't do much for […]

Josh Green To Miss A Few Weeks

Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Green (elbow) is expected to be sidelined for a couple of weeks. He has missed each of the last two games due to right elbow soreness. It doesn't sound like he's making good progress, so the team will hold him out for a few more games. Derrick Jones Jr. has looked […]

LeBron James Continues To Carry A Questionable Tag

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (calf) remains on the injury report as questionable ahead of Tuesday's in-season tournament quarterfinal against Phoenix. He's played in 11 consecutive games while dealing with a left calf contusion, so it's safe to assume we will see him out there. James had 32 points against the Suns when the […]

Jarred Vanderbilt Listed As Probable For Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against Phoenix. The 24-year-old finally made his season debut on Saturday versus Houston, but he remains on the injury report with a left heel issue. Vanderbilt logged 14 scoreless minutes against the Rockets, and the team likely won't want to push him too […]

Eric Gordon Might Miss Another Game On Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Eric Gordon (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's in-season tournament quarterfinal versus the Lakers. The veteran sniper missed his second game of the season last time out against Memphis. He's dealing with a knee contusion, which isn't a serious issue, but the injury hasn't fully cleared up. As Phoenix has dealt […]

Jonathan Isaac Expected To Play On Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (ankle) reportedly looked good during practice on Monday. The young forward is hopeful to get back on the court for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Isaac was forced to miss their last game against the Brooklyn Nets due to this issue. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Magic […]

Rui Hachimura May Suit Up On Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (nose) said to reporters on Monday that he thinks he's going to play on Tuesday in the team's in-season tournament game. Hachimura has missed the last five consecutive games after he underwent a procedure to fix a nasal fracture. The 25-year-old played an important reserve role in the playoffs […]

Obi Toppin Will Suit Up Against Celtics

Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin (ankle) was listed on the injury report as questionable as he deals with a left ankle sprain. Ahead of their in-season tournament game on Monday night, head coach Rick Carlisle said that he expects Toppin to play as well as Tyrese Haliburton (illness). That will be two starters upgraded to […]

Pat Connaughton Will Remain Sidelined On Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton (ankle) has been ruled out of the team's in-season tournament game on Tuesday night against the New York Knicks. This will be his third consecutive game that he has missed from a right ankle sprain. Cameron Payne and MarJon Beauchamp have been receiving more minutes off of the bench in […]

Fantasy Basketball Early-Week Streamers: Week 7

After an exciting start, it's Week 7 of the 2023-2024 NBA season. While you want to have faith in the players you drafted, don't get too attached. You may feel confident about your draft decisions, but remember: stars are born and eroded every day. Take a moment to see what's on the other side of […]

Andrew Wiggins Could Be Back Soon

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (finger) could return to the lineup soon, possibly as early as Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 28-year-old has missed his last two games after slamming his right index finger in a car door. The Warriors would love to see him back in the lineup as soon […]

Ben Simmons Will Be Re-Evaluated In Two More Weeks

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) reportedly received an epidural injection to help his lower back recovery. According to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Simmons will be re-evaluated in two weeks after receiving this injection on Sunday. The 27-year-old has been out since November 6 and it looks like he won't be back until almost the […]

Luke Kennard Expected To Miss Another 2-3 Weeks

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Luke Kennard (knee) will now miss another 2-to-3 weeks due to the left knee bone bruise that he's been dealing with over the last couple of weeks. Two weeks ago, the team announced he'd be re-evaluated in that span and it looks like the bone bruise is affecting him more than they […]

Matt Ryan Ruled Out Against Kings

New Orleans Pelicans forward Matt Ryan (elbow) has been ruled out for the team's in-season tournament game on Monday night against the Sacramento Kings. The 26-year-old has been dealing with a right elbow issue that has kept him out of the last eight consecutive games with a ninth upcoming. The sharpshooting forward was playing around […]

Trey Murphy III Removed From Injury Report For Monday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III made his season debut on Friday but then missed the second half of the back-to-back so that he didn't overdo it right out of the gate. He's off of the injury report again ahead of the team's knockout-stage game in the in-season tournament on Monday night. He'll likely […]

Chris Duarte Receives A Questionable Tag For Monday

Sacramento Kings guard Chris Duarte (knee) is considered questionable for their in-season tournament game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night. The young wing was forced to miss their last game on Saturday with the same left knee soreness, but he may have received that game off to get some more rest for the […]

Obi Toppin Uncertain Against Celtics On Monday

Indiana Pacers forward Obi Toppin (ankle) is considered questionable for the in-season tournament knockout game against the Boston Celtics on Monday. The 25-year-old has yet to miss a game this season but he's currently dealing with a left ankle sprain. If he's unable to suit up, Aaron Nesmith and Bennedict Mathurin would likely see the […]

DeMar DeRozan Good To Go Versus The Pels

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan (ankle) is available for Saturday's showdown with the Pelicans. The veteran was battling a sprained ankle, keeping him off the floor for Thursday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. However, he's good to go. With Zach LaVine (foot) out, DeRozan will likely see more scoring chances, giving him added value for […]

Jimmy Butler Officially Active Against Indiana

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. The 34-year-old was listed as probable, so his availability for this game isn't surprising. Butler is coming off a 36-point performance on Thursday night, tying his season high. With Bam Adebayo (hip) sidelined for this one, Butler could be in […]

Brandon Miller Back After One-Game Absence

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (ankle) will play on Saturday against the Timberwolves. He didn't suit up in Thursday's narrow win over the Brooklyn Nets, allowing Bryce McGowens to enter the starting lineup and finish with 14 points in 22 minutes. But with Miller back in the mix, McGowens can head back to fantasy benches. […]
