Jimmy Butler Expected To Play Against Wizards

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is listed as probable to face the Washington Wizards on Friday night. This is the team's first game of group play for the NBA's new in-season tournament. So far, it seems like the games will be treated as another regular season game, but the knockout stages could become more […]

RJ Barrett Listed As Questionable Against Bucks

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett (knee) was unable to play in the team's last contest on Wednesday and he's now listed as questionable for their Friday night game against the Milwaukee Bucks. In the game that Barrett missed, Josh Hart took over in the starting lineup, but they weren't able to grab a win […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Questionable For Friday Night

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) is questionable heading into Friday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The 25-year-old has averaged 4.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists this season, meaning he hasn't done enough to work his way into fantasy lineups. However, assuming Smith is healthy, he could see more chances to produce on […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Questionable Versus The Bulls

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle) is questionable for Friday's meeting with the Bulls in Chicago. He tweaked his left ankle in Monday's win over Charlotte and didn't play on Wednesday versus the Miami Heat. It's anyone's guess if Dinwiddie will miss another game. However, if he's ruled out, Cameron Thomas will stay in the […]

Darius Garland Questionable Against Indiana

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (hamstring) is questionable for Friday's Central Division showdown with the Pacers. The 23-year-old played in the opening night win over the Brooklyn Nets, finishing with 15 points, five assists, and two steals. However, he's battled a left hamstring strain all year, although it appears he's trending toward returning sooner rather […]

Shaedon Sharpe Probable For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (thumb) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Sharpe looked good on Wednesday, but apparently suffered a sprained right thumb in the process. It doesn't sound like something that is going to sideline Sharpe. He'll likely have a bigger role in the rotation with Scoot […]

Devin Booker To Play On Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (foot) will suit up for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The star guard will make his first appearance since the season opener. This is a welcoming sight with Bradley Beal (back) still sidelined. Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen should see somewhat decreased roles with Booker back in the […]

Scoot Henderson Won't Play On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The rookie guard suffered a right ankle sprain during Wednesday's win over the Detroit Pistons. He'll be forced to miss at least one game because of the injury. The expectation is that Malcolm Brogdon will enter […]

Zach LaVine Expected To Suit Up On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The star guard has been listed on the injury report ahead of the last two games. LaVine was able to start and finish those games without any issues. He should be fine to play on Friday, assuming he […]

Tyler Herro Maintains Great Scoring Form With 30 Points

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro dropped 30 points with 6-for-10 three-point shooting in Wednesday's 108-105 loss to Brooklyn. He finished 12-for-23 overall from the field while delivering five assists and picking up three rebounds in 36 minutes. Herro now boasts back-to-back 30-point games and has shot 40 percent or better from three-point range in four […]

Cade Cunningham Stays Hot From Deep During 30-Point Night

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham led all scorers with 30 points in Wednesday's 110-101 home loss to Portland. He struggled to stay efficient from the field with an 11-for-27 effort but continued his impressive work from deep with a 5-for-9 record. Cunningham's three-point shooting has gone through a massive improvement, as he's been hitting 44.1 […]

Kawhi Leonard Bounces Back With 38 Points

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Kawhi Leonard led all scorers with 38 points in Wednesday's 130-125 overtime defeat against the Lakers. After finishing Tuesday's matchup against Orlando with only eight points, Leonard kicked off the action with an 18-point first quarter, which marks the most points he's ever had inside the opening frame. He did the […]

Paul George Sinks Six Triples During 35-Point Performance

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Paul George scored a very efficient 35 points in this season's first Battle of Los Angeles on Wednesday against the Lakers, finishing a 130-125 overtime loss with 11-for-16 shooting. He was 6-for-9 from three-point range and 7-for-8 at the line. George's work at the starting stripe included three clutch free throws […]

NBA DFS Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Spurs vs Suns Thursday Night Showdown

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! Welcome back to our weekly showdown, I fell for the trap that was Rui Hachimura once again and it hurt me quite a bit last week in my lineups. Other lineups not involving him cashed nicely. This time around we got the Suns once again taking on the Spurs. The nice thing […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Scores 20 Points On Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a team-high 20 points in Wednesday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. He added eight assists, five rebounds, and three steals. The 25-year-old scored at least 31 points in three of his last four games, so he wasn't as productive as usual. However, he hyperextended his knee in […]

Klay Thompson Will Play On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (knee) will play during Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This is good news after Thompson was uncertain for this contest due to right knee soreness. The expectation is that he'll start in his normal role and shouldn't be limited at all. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get […]

Zach LaVine Will Suit Up On Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This is good news after LaVine was uncertain for this contest due to back spasms. LaVine has been off to a slow start to the season outside of his 51-point performance. Despite that, fantasy managers should continue to believe […]

Zach LaVine Listed As Probable For Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Zach LaVine (back) is considered probable for Wednesday's showdown against Luka Doncic and the Mavericks. He has been troubled by bilateral lower back spasms, but that didn't keep LaVine from going off for a career-high 51 points at the weekend against Detroit, and he also played Monday versus Indiana. It's safe to […]

Klay Thompson Expected Back On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Klay Thompson (knee) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup against Sacramento. He missed his first game of the season Monday versus New Orleans when the Warriors completed their first back-to-back of the year. The veteran sniper is on the injury report with right knee soreness, but he was likely […]

Week 2: Dynasty Risers And Fallers For Fantasy Basketball

What's up, Rotoballers! We are officially into the second week of the NBA season and Halloween gets replaced by the anticipation of huge turkey dinners. In the meantime, there's plenty of basketball to be played! As Fantasy Basketball's popularity continues to grow, so do dynasty formats. Dynasty leagues in both fantasy baseball and football have […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Unlikely To Suit Up Against Miami

Brooklyn Nets forward Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle) isn't expected to suit up on Wednesday night in Miami. The veteran sprained his left ankle in Monday's win over the Charlotte Hornets, so he could be looking at an extended absence, including missing either or both of Brooklyn's back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday. The Nets are still […]

Davion Mitchell To Move Into Starting Five

Sacramento Kings guard Davion Mitchell will shift into the starting five for the foreseeable future, according to head coach Mike Brown. The Kings are going to be without De'Aaron Fox (ankle) for multiple weeks, which is a significant blow to their rotation. Mitchell is expected to get a bigger opportunity with Fox sidelined. He is […]

Luke Kennard Should Play On Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Luke Kennard (concussion) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Kennard has missed the last three games while in concussion protocol. His return will be welcoming sight with Derrick Rose (knee) and Ja Morant (suspension) both sidelined. Kennard should see an increased role with […]

Bones Hyland Moves Into Starting Five

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland will make his move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Normally, Hyland is the primary backup point guard to Russell Westbrook. However, he will shift into the starting five with the Clippers shorthanded on Tuesday. The team traded Robert Covington, Nicolas Batum, and Marcus […]

Norman Powell To Suit Up On Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman Powell (foot) has been cleared to suit up for Tuesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was previously listed as questionable due to a foot issue. However, it appears that was only a minor issue and Powell should play without limitations in this game. Powell will likely see an increased […]

Naji Marshall Out For At Least Two More Weeks

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Naji Marshall (knee) will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks, the team announced on Monday. The 25-year-old missed a third straight game to start the year Monday night against Golden State, and he looks set to be unavailable for at least seven more games. Marshall averaged over 23 minutes off the […]

Ty Jerome Remains On The Shelf Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (ankle) will be absent for a second consecutive game Tuesday against the Knicks. He has been kept out of the lineup by a right ankle sprain. Jerome hasn't got a big role at his new club, and he averaged just 7.5 minutes in the two games he got to play […]

Terance Mann Remains Out On Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Terance Mann (ankle) is still not ready to make his season debut Tuesday against the Magic, missing a third game. The 27-year-old is recovering from a left ankle sprain. Mann has been a key contributor off the bench for the Clippers, even starting 30-plus games in each of the last two […]
