Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Dennis Schroder struggled to connect from the floor as his club lost to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Russell Westbrook Officially Ruled Out on Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (knee) has been officially ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/17/18): NBA DFS Lineups

This feels right. Yesterday was nice, but to be fair, those teams are always nationally televised. This is where we get to the real nitty-gritty DFS nonsense that we all love. A fat 12-game slate to start off the year for everyone and the options for value are endless. The first few games of the […]

Jerami Grant Blocks Three Shots Against Warriors

Oklahoma City Thunder power forward Jerami Grant had a solid defensive outing against the defending-champion Golden State Warriors on opening night.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Nerlens Noel made his debut for his new team on Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors. He had three points on 1-for-2 shooting, to go along with seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block. The 12 minutes were disappointing for Noel as it appears he may not get […]

Terrance Ferguson Puts Up Dud Against The Dubs

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Terrance Ferguson did almost nothing in his 27 minutes of work against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. He went scoreless and only had four rebounds, one assist and one turnover. Albeit, it was against a tough Warriors squad, Ferguson appears to have little to no fantasy value even […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Tatum Booms Opening Night

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA recap.  In this feature, we highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games. On opening night, we saw two marquee matchups between playoff favorites.

Dennis Schroder Gets Starting Nod In Opener

Oklahoma State Thunder guard Dennis Schroder made the start in Tuesday's 108-100 loss against the Golden State Warriors, stepping in for the injured Russell Westbrook (knee).

Paul George Holds It Down Without Partner In Crime

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Paul George connected on nine of his 23 field-goal attempts to finish with a team-high 27 points across 37 minutes in Tuesday's 108-100 loss at Golden State.

Steven Adams Will Play Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (back) will play Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors.

With Adams in the lineup, Nerlens Noel will […]

Steven Adams Still A Game-Time Decision

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (back) is still a game-time decision for Tuesday night's season opener against the Golden State Warriors.

Given the late start, this is proving frustrating for owners and those participating in DFS. […]

Steven Adams is Questionable for Season Opener

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's regular season opener against the Golden State Warriors.

Russell Westbrook Will Sit Out Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (knee) will not play in the regular season opener against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. Westbrook is still coming back from surgery and was listed as doubtful for this game last week. It's not surprising to see Westbrook sitting this one out. There is still a small […]

Terrance Ferguson Returns to Practice

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Terrance Ferguson (concussion) returned to practice on Sunday. He should be ready to go for the regular season opener after clearing the baseline concussion protocol tests. Ferguson could begin the season in the starting five, but that doesn't automatically mean he has fantasy value. He could have short-term value, but once […]

NBA Skill Set Scarcity: Where Are the Efficient Bigs?

I'm a huge fan of Jrue Holiday. I truly believe he might be the most underrated point guard of our generation in both real life and for many years, in fantasy too. He's an elite defender who has finished better than the 90th percentile in on/off opponents' point per possession numbers in his career, with […]

Russell Westbrook is Uncertain for Opener

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (knee) could be in danger of missing the regular season opener. Westbrook had an arthroscopic knee procedure in September and is not full healthy yet. Head coach Billy Donovan has not said much about Westbrook's status lately.
