John Collins Doubtful For Thursday
Atlanta Hawks power forward John Collins (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Nuggets, according to Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The 2018 NBA All-Rookie second-team selection has yet to play this season, but he is getting closer to returning to the court. Collins' return likely means that Omari Spellman will […]
RotoBaller NBA Recap: Addition By Subtraction
We've all heard the phrase, "addition by subtraction" - a phrase which, by definition, is impossible to comprehend. I mean, how can you complete the process of adding something to something else while taking one number or amount away from another? It makes no sense. Unless, of course, you're the Cleveland Cavaliers, Houston Rockets, or Golden State […]
Jeremy Lin (PG/SG, ATL) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 11% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's been seemingly a lifetime since "Linsanity" and it's also been a lengthy stretch of time since Jeremy Lin has seen considerable NBA court time (before his 13 games this season he had played just 37 games since 2016). From the surface, Lin's […]
Dewayne Dedmon To Miss Tuesday's Game

There are 10 games total today, but we are only going to focus on the main, 8-game slate.

Hawks Are Reluctant to Trade Dewayne Dedmon
Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon could be on the move this season with the team rebuilding and Dedmon on an expiring and affordable deal. Dedmon is only owned $6.3 million, which is going to draw plenty of interest from playoff contending teams. However, a move to another team would likely decrease Dedmon's value. He currently […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: The Youth Movement is Real
There were about four minutes left in the first quarter of Tuesday night's commencement between the Hawks and Hornets. A 41-year old Vince Carter had Jeremy Lamb in the post before spinning baseline and elevating for a one-handed, "Statue of Liberty"-esque dunk. I use "elevating" lightly. I mean, it was far from a struggle dunk, […]
Taurean Prince is Not on Injury Report
Atlanta Hawks forward Taurean Prince (ankle) is not on the injury report on Wednesday. Prince missed Tuesday's game due to a right ankle sprain. It appears Prince is fine for Wednesday's contest against the New York Knicks. Fantasy owners should check back before game time, but it looks like it's safe to plug Prince back […]

Jeremy Lin Scores 19 Points In Loss
Atlanta Hawks guard Jeremy Lin continued his solid play over the last five games as he racked up 19 points on a hot 7-for-9 shooting, but it was not enough to help his club pick up the win. Lin added two assists with a rebound and added two steals with a make from three in […]
