Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic continued his fine rookie season Wednesday against the Hawks, registering 24 points, 10 rebounds and six assists while going 12-for-15 from the free-throw line.

Reggie Bullock Remains Out While Stanley Johnson Is Active
The Detroit Pistons will be without guard Reggie Bullock (ankle) again Wednesday night, but will have guard/forward Stanley Johnson (knee) in the lineup against the Charlotte Hornets. Bullock will miss fifth straight game as the Detroit medical staff is taking his rehab slowly and could miss more time. Johnson will return after a three-game absence […]
RotoBaller NBA Recap: Is It Time to Trade Chris Paul?
Imagine being so great at doing something that you could take away the main element which has led to your greatness and still be better than almost everyone else at doing whatever your great thing is.

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out Wednesday Night
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (groin) will sit out Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Butler was doubtful to play in this one after missing Tuesday's practice and is considered day-to-day per Coach Brett Brown. Furkan Korkmaz will get the spot start and would be an interesting DFS play against the fast-paced Nets. For those […]
E'Twaun Moore Will Sit Wednesday Night
New Orleans Pelicans guard E'Twaun Moore (leg) will not play Wednesday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Moore will miss his second straight game after being ruled questionable, leaving the Pelicans thin without Elfrid Payton (finger) and Nikola Mirotic (ankle) Wednesday.

Lou Williams Expected to Miss Two Weeks
Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams (hamstring) is expected to miss roughly two weeks of action, according to head coach Doc Rivers. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so Williams could be sidelined longer than two weeks. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Tyrone Wallace, and Milos Teodosic will all see increased playing time with Williams sidelined. SGA […]
Gordon Hayward Ruled Out on Wednesday
Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Hayward didn't join the Celtics on this trip to Washington, so clearly the illness is serious. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum will both benefit from the loss of Hayward.
Reggie Bullock Upgraded to Questionable
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (ankle) has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. That is a good sign that possibly Bullock might be able to get on the court. Bruce Brown and Luke Kennard would benefit the most if Bullock remains out.
Tyler Johnson is Available on Wednesday
Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Johnson missed one game due to a hip issue, but appears fine to play on Wednesday. Goran Dragic (knee) is sidelined, so that means more playing time for Johnson. He's someone worth considering in DFS contests, assuming he draws the […]
Goran Dragic Ruled Out on Wednesday
Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Dragic just returned from an eight game absence, but apparently he's not ready yet.

James Ennis Will Miss A Week or Two
Houston Rockets guard/forward James Ennis (hamstring) will miss one to two weeks of game action after suffering a right hamstring strain.

James Harden Scores 29 Against Trail Blazers
Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored 29 points on 10-for-21 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. He was 4-for-9 from deep and added four assists and a rebound as well.

Eric Gordon Scores 14 In Start Against Portland
Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon was moved into the team's starting lineup for Tuesday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers, sending James Ennis to the bench in a move that's likely to stick, especially with Houston soon to get guard Brandon Knight back to bolster their bench. Gordon scored 14 points in the game on […]
Damian Lillard Scores 34 Against Houston
Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard scored 34 points on 12-for-25 shooting in Tuesday's loss to the Houston Rockets. Lillard was 4-for-7 from three and added two assists and two rebounds.

Lou Williams To Miss At Least One Week
Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams will be on the shelf for the next one-to-two weeks due to a hamstring injury, head coach Doc Rivers confirmed, taking him out of Tuesday’s contest against the Toronto Raptors. Without Williams on the bench, expect Avery Bradley and Patrick Beverley to potentially see some increased run. Williams […]
Lou Williams is Questionable on Tuesday
Los Angeles Clippers guard Lou Williams (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Williams left Monday's game due to a sore right hamstring and was unable to return. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should get more involved if Williams is unable to play. However, the Clippers will probably use a committee approach to fill the […]
Jamal Crawford is Questionable for Tuesday
Phoenix Suns guard Jamal Crawford (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This is the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Suns won't have a shootaround on Tuesday. Josh Jackson and Troy Daniels will see increased playing time, assuming Crawford sits out. Jackson is looking like a […]
Devin Booker Ruled Out for Tuesday
Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Booker does not appear close to returning and hasn't even practiced lately. Fantasy owners must stay patient with Booker while he recovers from this hamstring issue. De'Anthony Melton should draw another start on Tuesday, while Josh […]
Gordon Hayward is Considered Doubtful for Wednesday
Boston Celtics guard/forward Gordon Hayward (illness) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He missed Monday's contest versus Detroit due to an illness. Marcus Morris and Jaylen Brown would likely benefit the most if Hayward is sidelined for a second straight game. Fantasy owners should check back for an update on […]
Jimmy Butler is Doubtful for Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Jimmy Butler (groin) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Butler did not participate in Tuesday's practice and left during the first quarter of Monday's game versus the Pistons. An MRI didn't reveal any significant damage, but it sounds like Butler is going to miss at least one game. […]
Victor Oladipo Practices on Tuesday
Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) was able to participate in Tuesday's practice. Oladipo was reportedly able to go through 4-on-4 and 5-on-5 work, so it appears he's heading in the right direction. It's uncertain whether or not Oladipo will play in Wednesday's contest, but he'll be under a minutes limit if he does. There […]
