Dario Saric Scores 15 Points Against Bucks

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dario Saric scored 15 points on 6-for-11 shooting in Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee. He added seven rebounds as well, but put up nothing in terms of assists, steals, and blocks. Saric's production has been uneven and frustrating so far, and a meeting with a decent Hornets defense on Saturday does little to […]

Ben Simmons Gets Triple-Double Against Milwaukee

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons recorded his second triple-double of the young NBA season in Wednesday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Simmons scored 14 points on 6-for-15 shooting and added 13 rebounds and 11 assists. After missing Tuesday's contest with a back injury, Simmons should he was healthy and ready to go. He should […]

Joel Embiid Scores 30 Points Against Bucks

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored 30 points on 9-for-24 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Embiid also added in 19 rebounds, six assists, and three blocks, putting in a strong individual performance despite the loss.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/24/18): NBA DFS Lineups

This is going to be one of our bigger slates this early in the season, so it'll be a little more risky to stack, but the Pheonix Suns vs. Los Angeles Lakers game is still the one to target. There are plenty of options to really flex your money with, but if you are spending […]

RotoBaller NBA Recap: Blake Griffin is the GOAT

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap where we'll highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's three-game slate because a 1,000-word love letter to Blake Griffin would be frowned upon. (Although, merited to the utmost degree.) More on Blake in a bit, but while we're here, sign me up for a first-round, 4-seed/5-seed playoff matchup […]

Ben Simmons Remains Questionable on Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Simmons was not able to practice on Monday and didn't play in Tuesday's game. There is a good chance he's not going to suit up for this contest. Landry Shamet could jump into the starting five again, but he didn't […]

J.J. Redick Scores 30 Points Against Detroit

There was some surprise when the Philadelphia Sixers announced that shooting guard J.J. Redick wouldn't be moved to the starting lineup with Ben Simmons (back) out, but head coach Brett Brown wanted to keep Redick in his current sixth-man role. But despite Landry Shamet earning the start, Redick went on an offensive tear, scoring 30 […]

Markelle Fultz Plays Just 21 Minutes Against Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Markelle Fultz was primed for a big night with Ben Simmons (back) out, but instead head coach Brett Brown continued to limit his minutes, playing him just 21 minutes while letting T.J. McConnell run the point in the fourth quarter and overtime. Fultz looked good in the game, scoring 13 points […]

Dario Saric Struggles From Three Against Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dario Saric scored 14 points in 37 minutes in Tuesday's overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons, but it wasn't the most efficient game for Saric, who connected on three of his five attempts from inside the arc, but was just 2-for-11 from deep. Saric added in eight rebounds, five assists, a steal, […]

Joel Embiid Records Double-Double Against Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored a team-high 33 points on 11-for-20 shooting in Tuesday's overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons. Embiid was 0-for-4 from three in the game, including a miss late in the fourth quarter that could have put the Sixers in front. He grabbed 11 rebounds and, with Ben Simmons (back) out, […]

Robert Covington Efficient In Overtime Loss

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington scored 16 points on 6-for-11 shooting in Tuesday's overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons. Covington connected on three of his four attempts from deep while also grabbing eight rebounds and adding in a pair of assists, a steal, and a block. With Ben Simmons (back) out, Covington played a team-high […]

Mike Muscala is Available to Play on Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Mike Muscala (ankle) is available to play against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday. He was a full participant during Monday's practice and appears to have recovered from his left ankle issue. He'll bring some depth to the Sixers, but probably won't see enough playing time to make him worth owning in fantasy […]

Ben Simmons is Doubtful for Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) did not participate in shootaround and is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Simmons has been battling some back tightness, but the injury is not believed to be serious. T.J. McConnell and Markelle Fultz should both benefit if Simmons does sit out on Tuesday. McConnell would be […]

Mike Muscala Practices on Monday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Mike Muscala (ankle) was a full participant in Monday's practice. He is currently listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Muscala has not played this season, but he does appear close to returning. Joel Embiid and Dario Saric are going to see most of the minutes, so Muscala won't […]

Ben Simmons Listed as Questionable for Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Simmons was unable to practice on Monday due to back tightness. This issue is not believed to be serious, but the Sixers may decide to be cautious and hold Simmons out a game. More information should be known […]

LeBron James made his Staples Center debut on Saturday, scoring 24 points in a 124 to 115 loss to the Houston Rockets, but Lebron's production was the last thing on anyone's mind […]

Dario Saric Does It All In Sixers Win

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dario Saric was everywhere in Saturday's narrow 116-115 win over the Orlando Magic, getting close to a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds while collecting five assists, one block, and one steal. For some reason, Saric has struggled with his shot at the start of the year and he even had […]

Markelle Fultz Gets Close To Double-Double

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Markelle Fultz was close to a double-double on Saturday, finishing a 116-115 win over Orlando with eight points and seven assists. He also picked up one steal with 23 minutes on the floor. Fultz showed encouraging signs of his shot during the preseason, but he finished just 4-for-11 from the floor […]

J.J. Redick Drops Eight Treys On Magic

Philadelphia 76ers guard J.J. Redick was in video-game mode on Saturday, scoring 31 points in 32 minutes off the bench against the Magic while finishing 8-for-13 from behind the arc. He shot 10-for-20 overall from the field while getting four assists and four rebounds with one steal. Redick played a massive part in the game […]

Ben Simmons Has Back Issues, Plays Only Eight Minutes

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons logged only eight minutes of action in Saturday's 116-115 win over Orlando, leaving early with back tightness. According to reports, Simmons felt his back stiffening up already before tip-off, but he decided to give it a go anyway. He had four points and four assists before heading for the […]

Joel Embiid Scores 32 Points On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid almost scored at a point-per-minute pace in Saturday's 116-115 win over Orlando, finishing with 32 points in 34 minutes. He was heavily involved in the offense after Ben Simmons (back) was forced to exit the game, getting 26 shot attempts, which he made at a 50 percent rate. Embiid even […]

Feels good being back in the swing of things doesn't it? With the first weekend of basketball right ahead of us, Friday night was the perfect start. Multiple teams are going to be playing on the second night of a back-to-back, including both the Pacers/Nets and Knicks/Celtics games. I wouldn't avoid these games, but there […]

With the MLB postseason in full swing, the NFL season approaching its midway point, and more importantly, the NBA back in action, there is no better time of year to be a sports fan.

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 […]

Mike Muscala is Doubtful for Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Muscala (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He missed Tuesday's contest and could be sidelined once again on Thursday. T.J. McConnell and Amir Johnson would see increased playing time with Muscala out. McConnell is the better fantasy option here. Johnson does not make much of an impact […]
