Nicolas Batum Has Roller-Coaster Season Continue

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard/small forward Nicolas Batum failed to make a field goal during Friday’s win over the Denver Nuggets, just the second time this season that has occurred. He finished with four points and seven rebounds across 26 minutes, on the heels of one of his best performances of the year Wednesday against Minnesota. […]

Marvin Williams Records Double-Double In Return

Charlotte Hornets power forward Marvin Williams wasted little time getting back into his groove when he logged a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds during Friday’s win over the Denver Nuggets. Williams had missed a game and a half due to a right shoulder strain, having had recorded his first two double-doubles of the […]

Jeremy Lamb Held To Seven Points Across 21 Minutes

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Jeremy Lamb delivered a rare clunker during Friday’s win over the Denver Nuggets. Lamb saw just 21 minutes of action, finishing with seven points, giving him his first game finishing in single digits since Oct. 30. Both Tony Parker and Malik Monk were feeling it off the bench Friday, leaving Lamb […]

Kemba Walker Delivers Team-High 21 Points In Win

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker continued to struggle from the field during Friday’s win over the Denver Nuggets, but still finished with a team-high 21 points, 11 of which came from the free-throw line. Walker added eight assists and six rebounds to boost his other categories, but his continued cold streak from the floor […]

Marvin Williams Cleared To Return Friday

Charlotte Hornets power forward Marvin Williams will not only return to action Friday against the Denver Nuggets, but he’ll start the game as well. Williams missed just one full game with a right shoulder strain, leading to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist drawing his first start of the year in his place. It seems likely that rookie Miles […]

Marvin Williams is Questionable for Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Williams is dealing with a right shoulder strain that he suffered last Sunday. The good news is, Williams was expected to miss and week, but is already questionable for this contest. Fantasy owners will have to wait until closer to […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Derrick Favors the Bench

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games. Thursday night featured a typical short slate of games.

Buy, Sell, or Hold: Danilo Gallinari and Larry Nance Jr.

A wise man once said: "Sell high, buy low!"  Those are words to live by. If you time your moves just right you might be able to turn your in-form Jarrett Allen into a slumping Myles Turner. Then, when Turner turns it around, swap him for an out-of-form Blake Griffin. Then magically transform Blake after a […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/6/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

After yesterday, we get a chance to relax with a horrible three-game slate. I'm not joking, tonight's slate is just downright ugly. I won't get the chance to bore you with game analysis because truthfully, everyone knows what's happening tonight. The Celtics are beating the Knicks, the Trail Blazers are beating the Suns, and the […]

Cody Zeller Logs 33 Minutes In Return

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller returned to the rotation during Wednesday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves and logged 33 minutes of action. He finished with nine points, six rebounds and three assists, which certainly won’t make owners rush to grab him off the wire, but it’s an indicator that he’s ready to resume starting center […]

Nicolas Batum Delivers Vintage Performance

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard/small forward Nicolas Batum delivered arguably his best performance of 2018-19 on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing with 18 points to go along with eight assists and seven rebounds. Batum knocked down three triples in a game for the first time since Oct. 30, having combined to make three threes over […]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Draws First Start Of Year

Charlotte Hornets small/power forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was inserted into the starting lineup for the first time this season during Wednesday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. With Marvin Williams (shoulder) on the shelf, head coach James Borrego opted for the 25-year-old Kidd-Gilchrist to shift in off the bench. He didn’t see a huge boost in minutes […]

Jeremy Lamb Posts Second Double-Double Of Season

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Jeremy Lamb finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds during Wednesday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, marking his second double-double of the year. Lamb needed 18 shots to get those 18 points, but his 11 boards set a new season high. The Charlotte wing has been one of the more consistent […]

Kemba Walker Held To 15 Points In Defeat

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker was relatively quiet during Wednesday’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing with 15 points on 6-for-16 shooting in 30 minutes of action. It’s the second straight quiet showing from Walker, who is struggling mightily from three over his last four contests (3-for-23). Walker entered the night with the second […]

Marvin Williams Out At Least One Week

Charlotte Hornets power forward Marvin Williams is set to miss at least his team’s upcoming three contests after leaving Sunday’s game against New Orleans with a right shoulder sprain. Miles Bridges started the second half in his place, and could be in line for extended run without Williams in the lineup, although both Michael Kidd-Gilchrist […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Anthony Davis Haunts Charlotte

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we will highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games.

Miles Bridges Posts New Career High With 16 Points

Charlotte Hornets small forward Miles Bridges had his best game as an NBA player on Sunday, scoring a career-high 16 points off the bench against New Orleans. The rookie from Michigan State also had eight rebounds and two blocks in 29 minutes. He was feeling it from downtown, sinking half of his six attempts and […]

Willy Hernangomez Gets Close To Double-Double In 14 Minutes

Charlotte Hornets center Willy Hernangomez had a productive game as a starter on Sunday against New Orleans, finishing with 11 points and eight rebounds, but he played only 14 minutes. He got his first start of the season with Cody Zeller (ribs) out. Hernangomez had sat out five of the previous six games, so was […]

Jeremy Lamb Cools Off On Sunday

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard Jeremy Lamb managed only 11 points on 4-for-8 shooting in Sunday's loss to New Orleans. It was a very disappointing finish to a week which saw Lamb score at least 20 points in three consecutive games. He did, however, provide multiple steals for the fifth time in the last six outings […]

Kemba Walker Disappoints On Sunday

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker missed all six attempts from downtown and shot a poor 5-for-16 overall in Sunday's loss to the Pelicans. He finished with only 13 points and five assists. Walker has played some MVP worthy stuff this season, but it's been a bit of a struggle for him in recent games […]

Frank Kaminsky Leads Hornets In Scoring On Sunday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Frank Kaminsky produced 19 points off the bench on Sunday against the Pelicans to lead the team in scoring. He struggled from deep, shooting 1-for-4, but was efficient overall as he shot 7-for-10 from the field. Kaminsky also grabbed five rebounds. He's been nailed on the bench for most of the season […]

Marvin Williams Ruled Out For Remainder Of Sunday’s Game

Charlotte Hornets power forward Marvin Williams has been ruled out for the second half of Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans due to a right shoulder sprain.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/2/18): NBA DFS Lineups

With six games total and four on DraftKings main slate, we don't really have many choices. Bigs are far and few between tonight so make sure you find those one or two value plays and combine it with certain consistency. There are not that many overpriced superstars so look for Damian Lillard and Joel Embiid […]

Cody Zeller is Probable for Sunday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Cody Zeller (rib) is probable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Zeller is dealing with a left rib contusion and sat out during the second half of Friday's contest. Frank Kaminsky saw more minutes with Zeller on the sideline, but will probably be pushed out of the rotation if Zeller […]

Out of the six games being played today, half the teams are on the second half of a back-to-back. The Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards, Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets, and Boston Celtics will all be playing again tonight, but none were in that close of games yesterday. Not that fatigue won't be a major […]

Cody Zeller Plays Just Seven Minutes In Loss

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller exited Friday’s loss to the Utah Jazz after just seven minutes due to a rib contusion that prevented him from returning. His absence didn’t exactly boost Frank Kaminsky to the point of relevancy, with head coach James Borrego instead opting for smaller lineups with Marvin Williams at the center spot. […]
