Jalen Green Connects With Six Triples
Houston Rockets shooting guard Jalen Green nailed six attempts from deep and racked up a team-high 28 points on 11-for-19 overall shooting in Saturday's win over Oklahoma City. He also registered a career-high nine assists and notched two rebounds with four turnovers in 34 minutes. That's now two very strong performances on the bounce for […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Gets 32 Points in 28 Minutes
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander recorded his fourth consecutive 30-point outing on Saturday against Houston and needed only 28 minutes on the floor to get there. He led all scorers with 32 points in a 118-105 loss. It was a strong 12-for-21 shooting night for him, and Gilgeous-Alexander hit 7-for-7 at the foul line […]
OG Anunoby Fills The Box Score
Toronto Raptors guard/forward OG Anunoby produced an impressive line in Saturday's win over Dallas, scoring 26 points and picking up nine rebounds and two assists with two steals and two blocks in 43 minutes. He shot 9-for-19 from the field and 2-for-4 from downtown while going 6-for-7 at the foul line. It was a great […]
Andrew Nembhard Questionable Against The Clippers
Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (knee) is questionable for Sunday's meeting against the Clippers. The rookie has averaged 6.7 points, 3.1 assists, and 2.1 rebounds this season. However, he's played a somewhat better since being moved to the starting lineup. Nonetheless, if Nembhard misses his fourth straight game, Bennedict Mathurin should consume most of the […]
Russell Westbrook Takes An Elbow To The Face Against Spurs
Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (face) was injured during Saturday's game against the Spurs. Zach Collins elbowed Westbrook in the face, resulting in the former MVP suffering a laceration to the forehead. Fortunately, he didn't require stitches in the locker room and returned to the bench. The 34-year-old has struggled this season, averaging 15.0 […]
Landry Shamet To Play On Saturday
Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet will be available for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 25-year-old has finally been cleared on concussion protocols that has sidelined him since November 9. It's uncertain if the team plans to limit Shamet during his first game back on the court. He can be counted on for a […]
Yuta Watanabe Won't Play On Sunday
Brooklyn Nets guard Yuta Watanabe (hamstring) won't play on Sunday against Portland. The 28-year-old has missed the last two games because of a right hamstring strain, although he may be nearing a return. Watanabe has played well this season, averaging a career-high 8.1 points and shooting 57.1% from deep, so the Nets are certainly missing […]
Josh Richardson Remains Out Versus The Lakers
San Antonio Spurs guard Josh Richardson (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the Lakers, marking his third-straight absence because of a sprained ankle. Keita Bates-Diop (ankle) is also out, so Romeo Langford, Zach Collins, and Malaki Branham should see the most work from off the bench. However, none of the three are reliable fantasy producers.
Shake Milton Goes Close To A Triple-Double
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton led the charge in Friday's 107-99 win over Orlando, posting a near triple-double with 24 points, nine rebounds and a career-high 10 assists. He also notched a steal and a block while shooting 7-for-13 from the field with a 4-for-7 record from downtown. Following a rash of injuries, Milton has […]
Josh Giddey Flirts With A Triple-Double
Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Josh Giddey had a near miss on a triple-double Friday, completing a 123-119 overtime win against Chicago with 10 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists. He also had one block with five turnovers in 38 minutes. Giddey shot an underwhelming 5-for-13 from the field, but his scoring wasn't really needed as […]
Jaden Ivey Dealing With Knee Soreness
Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (knee) didn't play in Friday's loss to the Suns. The rookie is currently plagued by right knee soreness, so his status for Sunday's showdown against Cleveland is up in the air. With Cade Cunningham (shin) out for the foreseeable future, the Pistons may be shorthanded versus the Cavs if Ivey […]
Jaden Ivey Won't Play On Friday
Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This is bad timing with the Pistons already shorthanded at guard. The rookie guard is dealing with right knee soreness, so this could very well be a multiple game absence. In the meantime, Killian Hayes, Hamidou Diallo and […]
Anthony Edwards Scores 25 Points In Loss
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards has been hot from beyond the arc lately. In fact, Edwards has at least 10 3-point attempts in four of Minnesota's last five games. He continues to shoot triples at a high rate and it's working for him right now. On Friday, Edwards finished with 25 points, five rebounds, and […]
Heat Bringing Back Dru Smith
Free-agent guard Dru Smith has agreed to a two-way contract with Miami. The 24-year-old made one appearance for the Heat in October before being waived, logging six minutes and finishing with two points and a steal versus Portland. With the Heat dealing with an abundance of injuries versus Washington, Smith will be available on Friday, […]
Derrick Rose Sitting Again On Friday Evening
New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (foot) won't play against Portland. The veteran will miss his second consecutive game on Friday night while dealing with a sore right foot (and a sore right toe). Cam Reddish (groin) is also out, so Quentin Grimes and Immanuel Quickley should provide value for managers in all formats.
Terrence Ross A Late Scratch On Friday
Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Ross is a late scratch due to a non-COVID related illness. The Magic will likely split up the extra playing time between Gary Harris and RJ Hampton. Neither are great streaming options, but could be worth a look […]
Max Strus Not Available Against The Wizards
Miami Heat guard Max Strus (shoulder) won't play against Washington. Strus has played well this season, averaging 15.3 points in 34.1 minutes per game this season. However, he'll join Jimmy Butler (knee) and Duncan Robinson (ankle) on the sidelines, so Caleb Martin (illness) and Tyler Herro (ankle) could benefit from a production standpoint. Yet, if […]
Cam Reddish Uncertain To Play On Friday
New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish (groin) is listed as questionable for the team's game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday. He's been forced to miss the last two contests, but his upgraded status is promising. While he's been out Quentin Grimes has been the best streaming option to go with. If Reddish can […]
Matisse Thybulle Won't Play Against Orlando
Philadelphia 76ers forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) will not suit up on Friday after missing the team's last game and being forced to exit the last couple of games that he did play. When he first suffered the ankle injury, it didn't seem like it would hold him out too long. The pain has been lingering […]
Dennis Smith Jr. Won't Suit Up Against Timberwolves
Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) was forced to exit the team's last game early due to an ankle sprain. It seems as though it wasn't just a minor tweak as he'll be forced to miss at least one game. Since LaMelo Ball (ankle) is also out on Friday, Terry Rozier will see a […]
Paul George Won't Play Against Nuggets
Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This will be the third game in a row that George will miss due to a right hamstring strain. That means, Terance Mann will likely get another start with George on the sideline. Mann put together arguably […]
Derrick Rose Considered Questionable
New York Knicks point guard Derrick Rose (toe) is listed as questionable for Friday's meeting with the Trail Blazers. He sat out Monday's with over the Thunder with a sore right toe, but could now return to action against Portland after going through most of Wednesday's practice session. The veteran will provide some backcourt depth […]
Killian Hayes Dealing With A Calf Problem
Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes exited Wednesday's win over Utah with a calf injury. He was able to log 17 minutes and finished with two points, three rebounds and three assists. The 21-year-old has had a good run in the team lately, so the injury comes at a very bad time for Hayes. His status […]
DeMar DeRozan Leads Bulls To Win With 36 Points
Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan continued some of the best play in his career. His stats have taken a big jump since coming to Chicago and Wednesday night was no different. He ended the game against the Milwaukee Bucks with 36 points, four rebounds, eight assists, one steal, and two blocks while shooting 14-for-24 from […]
Malik Beasley Posts Big Game In Loss
Utah Jazz guard Malik Beasley had himself a night on Wednesday during the team's loss to the Detroit Pistons. The 25-year-old posted 29 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists on 50% shooting overall and 53.3% shooting from deep. Whenever given the minutes, he delivers quite often. The biggest issue since joining the Jazz has been […]
Devin Vassell Scores 26 Points In Loss To Pelicans
San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell was one of the only valuable fantasy assets on the team for this game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The third-year guard logged 26 points, four rebounds, eight assists, and one steal on 10-for-17 shooting from the floor and 4-for-8 from beyond the arc. This was a lopsided game […]
Rotoballer's Weekly NBA Fantasy Watch List
While playing daily fantasy sports is a quick way to make a buck, many still appreciate the long grind of season-long fantasy leagues. The waiver wire can make or break your fantasy team during the season. At times, a player seems like the right fit for your roster, but little did you know that player […]
De'Anthony Melton Does Everything On Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton has been asked to pick up the slack with the team shorthanded right now. On Wednesday, Melton finished with 20 points, six rebounds, three assists, and four steals in the loss to the Charlotte Hornets. The Sixers need Melton to play big minutes with the team missing multiple starters. That […]
Landry Shamet Able To Practice On Wednesday
Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet (concussion) was able to practice on Wednesday. This is great news after Shamet has missed the last six games due to being in concussion protocol. It appears he's finally getting closer to playing again, which is great news for the Suns. Fantasy managers should consider Shamet as questionable for Friday's […]
Alec Burks Questionable For Wednesday
Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (rest) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 31-year-old made his team debut on November 11th and was already able to play in one back-to-back set. However, the Pistons don't want to push anything with Burks recently joining the team. Rodney McGruder would likely see increased […]
