Eric Gordon Could Play on Wednesday
Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) could play in Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He is listed as questionable for this contest, but there should be a better idea after shootaround. He's missed the last eight games, but appears very close to a return. Austin Rivers and Gerald Green will lose minutes and usage […]
Maurice Harkless is Questionable on Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Maurice Harkless (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Harkless has missed the last four games for the Blazers due to a left knee issue. Jake Layman has been drawing starts and Evan Turner has seen increased playing time with Harkless sidelined.
Marcus Smart is Probable for Wednesday
Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He missed Monday's game due to an illness, but is set to return on Wednesday. Jaylen Brown would head back to the bench and see his minutes reduced.
Marco Belinelli Gets Up Shots At Shootaround
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Marco Belinelli (knee) was able to get up some shots during Wednesday's shootaround. He's listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Quincy Pondexter and Dante Cunningham would lose playing time if Belinelli is able to return.

Deandre Bembry Continues To Star In Starting Role
Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Deandre Bembry put together another excellent performance during Tuesday’s win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, finishing with 16 points on 7-for-9 shooting, adding eight rebounds, six assists and two steals across 34 minutes.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Scores 17 Points In Fifth Start
Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope returned to the starting lineup for Tuesday's clash with the Bulls, producing a solid 17 points. However, his fifth start of the season was far from an impressive outing, as Caldwell-Pope shot just 4-for-11 from the field and 1-for-6 from behind the arc. His 8-for-10 record from the […]
Kelly Oubre Jr. Scores 16 Points Off Bench
Phoenix Suns shooting guard/small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. continued to pour the ball into the bucket during Tuesday’s loss to the Indiana Pacers, finishing with 16 points on 7-for-13 shooting. That now marks four consecutive games in double figures off the bench for Oubre Jr., who has taken like a fish to water as the […]
Victor Oladipo Has Rough Shooting Night During Win
Indiana Pacers shooting guard Victor Oladipo was held in check by the Phoenix Suns during his team’s victory Tuesday. Oladipo delivered just eight points on 2-for-11 shooting, his worst shooting percentage across a full contest this season (excluding his five-minute outing in November). He was able to add six rebounds, five assists and two steals, […]
Tyreke Evans Pours In 20 Points In 15 Minutes
Indiana Pacers point/shooting guard Tyreke Evans was a one-man scoring army during his 15 minutes on the court during Tuesday’s victory over the Phoenix Suns. Evans collected 20 points on 6-for-8 shooting, including going 7-for-8 from the free-throw line. He added four rebounds as well, totaling one of his best performances of the season despite […]
Devin Booker Scuffles From Floor In Return
Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker was limited to just eight points on 4-for-12 shooting during Tuesday’s blowout loss to the Indiana Pacers. Booker had been held out of the previous three contests due to a back injury, evidently still working his way through some rust, limited to just 27 minutes, although much of that […]
Jimmy Butler Makes Eight of 10 Shots From Field In Victory Over Wolves
Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler scored 19 points on 8-for-10 shooting from the field and 3-for-4 from long distance in Tuesday's blowout victory over the Timberwolves. The 29-year-old added four assists, three rebounds, one block, two steals, and two turnovers in 28 minutes. He has played better since returning from a two-game absence […]
Sterling Brown Sharp Off The Bench In Home Rout
Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Sterling Brown finished with an impressive 13 points, six assists, a steal and a blocked shot across 22 minutes in Tuesday's 124-86 victory against the Miami Heat. Brown hit 5-for-10 from the field, including 3-for-6 from behind the arc. He has seen a bump in playing time lately, and he is […]
Shabazz Napier Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets point/shooting guard Shabazz Napier has been listed as questionable to play in Wednesday’s contest versus the Houston Rockets due to hamstring tightness. Napier sat out Monday’s game against Boston, halting his momentum of having scored in double digits in eight consecutive contests. Napier has seen at least 23 minutes in seven straight games […]
Marcus Smart, Aron Baynes Both Questionable For Wednesday
Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart and center Aron Baynes have both been tagged as questionable for Wednesday’s contest against the Toronto Raptors. Smart sat out Monday’s contest, which resulted in Jaylen Brown picking up the start, which could be the case Wednesday if Smart is unable to suit up due to his illness. As […]
RotoBaller NBA Recap: James Harden's Scores Over 30, Again
Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we will highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games. James Harden scored 57 points in Houston's win over the Grizzlies, breaking Kobe Bryant's record of consecutive 30-point games in the post-merger NBA with his 17th in a row. Elsewhere in the […]
Marco Belinelli is Questionable for Wednesday
San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Marco Belinelli (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He missed Monday's game due to a left knee issue, but it might be just a one game absence for him. Dante Cunningham and Quincy Pondexter would split up the minutes if Belinelli is unable to play. However, neither […]
Eric Gordon is Questionable for Wednesday
Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Head coach Mike D'Antoni said that Gordon might be able to return at some point this week, so hopefully he was right. He would take away some playing time from the other guards. The Rockets desperately need […]
Jeff Teague is Uncertain for Tuesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (ankle) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Teague tweaked his left ankle during Sunday's contest, but was able to practice on Monday. Derrick Rose (ankle) is expected to play despite dealing with an ankle injury. If either player sits out then Tyus Jones would gain […]
Jeremy Lin Downgraded to Doubtful for Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin (illness) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was probable due to a biceps issue, but is now dealing with flu-like symptoms that will likely sideline him for this contest. Kevin Huerter and Tyler Dorsey should see increased minutes if Lin sits out.
Josh Richardson Expected to Play on Tuesday
Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (knee) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Richardson did not practice on Monday due to knee tendinitis, but sounds like he'll be good to go for Tuesday. He's someone worth looking at for DFS contests.
Jrue Holiday Does A Bit Of Everything In Monday's Win
New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday struggled with his shot on Monday when he made just eight of 24 shots but salvaged his line as he filled up the stat sheet in the win. Holiday ended the night with 19 points, eight assists, five rebounds, three steals, and two blocks while drilling two triples. Holiday […]
Buddy Hield Has 19 Points Against Portland
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Buddy Hield missed only three shots on his way to 19 points in Monday's win over Portland. He was 7-for-10 from the field with a 2-for-4 success rate from downtown. Hield also sank all three free throws and grabbed seven rebounds. Bogdan Bogdanovic backed him up off the bench with 18 […]
Terry Rozier Disappoints In Start On Monday
Boston Celtics point guard Terry Rozier got added to the starting unit with Kyrie Irving (quad) sidelined and he probably wrecked a lot of DFS lineups in the process in the loss to the Nets. Rozier managed to score just seven points while dishing out five assists with three rebounds and a steal in 25 […]
D'Angelo Russell Puts Up 34 Points Against The Celtics
Brooklyn Nets guard D'Angelo Russell continued his excellent play as of late when he went off for 34 points in the win over the Celtics on Monday. Russell connected on 13 of 26 shots and added seven triples with seven assists, five rebounds with a steal and a block, although he did commit five turnovers. […]
Jeremy Lamb Goes For 19 Points In Victory
Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Jeremy Lamb collected 19 points on 8-for-15 shooting during Monday’s win over the San Antonio Spurs. In his four contests since returning from a three-game absence, Lamb as a three-point marksman has been largely missing. Despite logging ample playing time, he has attempted just seven threes in that span. In spite […]
Derrick White Continues Hot Stretch With 18-Point Effort
San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Derrick White continued to find his groove within the team’s offense during Monday’s loss to the Charlotte Hornets. White finished with 18 points on 7-for-12 shooting, adding four rebounds and a team-high seven assists. Make that nine of the last 10 games in which White has finished in double figures, […]
Kyle Korver Drops In Five Triples Off The Bench
Utah Jazz shooting guard Kyle Korver went for 19 points in Monday's 100-94 victory against the Detroit Pistons, hitting 5-for-11 from long distance while adding two rebounds with an assist in 32 minutes off the bench. Korver was doing what he does best for fantasy owners, and that is help in the three-point category. The […]
Donovan Mitchell Goes For 28 Points In Home Victory
Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell finished with a game-high 28 points across 36 minutes in Monday's 100-94 home victory against the Detroit Pistons. He also contributed five rebounds, two assists and two steals with four turnovers, and he dropped in three triples to go along with a 7-for-9 night at the free-throw line. He […]
Mike Conley, Garrett Temple And Omri Casspi Step Up For Grizz
Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley Jr. and shooting guard Garrett Temple each posted a team-high 14 points in Monday's 112-94 road loss against the Houston Rockets, while small forward Omri Casspi had 12 points to lead all bench scorers. Conley also added seven rebounds and seven assists, but his five turnovers didn't help those […]
