Jeremy Lamb To Miss Sunday’s Contest
Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Jeremy Lamb has been ruled out for Sunday’s game versus the Phoenix Suns due to a right hamstring strain.

Eric Gordon To Remain Sidelined Monday
Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon will continue his absence during Monday’s contest versus the Denver Nuggets due to right knee soreness.

Will Barton Listed as Out on Monday

Iman Shumpert Ruled Out For Saturday’s Game
Sacramento Kings shooting guard Iman Shumpert will be absent from play Saturday versus the Golden State Warriors due to a sprained right index finger. Shumpert is coming off a scoreless outing on Thursday, and has shot 2-for-16 from deep over his last three contests. Without him in the fold, look for Justin Jackson to potentially […]
Jimmy Butler To Miss Saturday’s Game
Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler will be absent from Saturday’s contest versus the Dallas Mavericks due to an illness.

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Victor Oladipo Banks In Game-Winning Three
Friday's 10-game slate featured a game-winner out in Chicago, a PG-13 performance that very well could have been given an X rating, and a letdown in Hollywood.

J.J. Barea is Questionable for Saturday
Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Barea has dealt with a lingering ankle issue since December.

Jeremy Lamb Could Play on Saturday
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (hamstring) has not yet been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Lamb was unable to practice on Friday and is considered day-to-day. However, there is a chance that Lamb is able to suit up for this contest. Devonte' Graham would head back to the bench if Lamb […]
Rodney Hood is Questionable on Saturday
Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Rodney Hood (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Hood was able to play on Friday, so there is a good chance he'll suit up again for this one. Otherwise Alec Burks and Jordan Clarkson will benefit without Hood.
