T.J. McConnell Gets Some Minutes On Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard T.J. McConnell saw 22 minutes against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday, finishing the night with only four points and three assists. With forward Dario Saric in foul trouble and guard Markelle Fultz struggling in this one, the 26-year-old benefited by getting some extra time on the floor. As Fultz remains in development […]

Markelle Fultz Struggles Against Celtics

Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz picked up right where he left off from last season by struggling against the Celtics on Tuesday night. The sophomore guard got the starting nod at the two spot but only saw 24 minutes, relegating his potential floor time to guards T.J. McConnell and J.J. Redick. Though he seemed to […]

Dario Saric Plays Sparingly Due To Foul Trouble

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dario Saric was not impressive during the team's opening-night loss to the Boston Celtics. Due to foul trouble, Saric playing sparingly and couldn't find his groove, finishing the game with only six points on a rough 3-for-8 from the field and an even less impressive 0-for-4 from deep. Though he also added […]

Robert Covington Struggles With Shot In Season Opener

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington looked every bit the defensive force that made him a member of last year's All-Defensive Team in Tuesday's loss to the Boston Celtics, grabbing a pair of steals while blocking a shot and pulling down six rebounds. But Covington has to contribute offensively to justify where he was drafted by […]

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.

J.J. Redick Provides Bench Scoring In Season Opener

Philadelphia 76ers guard J.J. Redick was moved to a bench role this season with Markelle Fultz taking his place in the starting unit, but the veteran guard is still seeing plenty of minutes off the bench and is expected to play with the starters in the second half of games. In Tuesday's season-opening loss to […]

Joel Embiid Opens Season With Double-Double

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid didn't have the easiest time, especially matched up with Celtics center Al Horford in Tuesday's loss to Boston, but the Cameroonian big man managed to open his 2018-2019 campaign with a double-double. Embiid put up 23 points on 9-for-21 shooting and made just one of his four attempts from three. […]

Ben Simmons Fills Stat Sheet Against Boston

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons scored 19 points on 7-for-14 shooting in Tuesday's season-opening loss to the Boston Celtics. The second-year playmaker also grabbed 15 rebounds and dished out eight assists to go along with four steals and a pair of blocks. Simmons is off to a strong start to his second NBA campaign, […]

Mike Muscala Won't Play in Season Opener

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Mike Muscala (ankle) has been ruled out of Tuesday's regular season opener against the Boston Celtics. This was not surprising after seeing that Muscala was highly questionable on Monday. We could see Brown use a smaller lineup against the Celtics. T.J. McConnell could end up benefiting the most with Muscala sidelined for […]

Markelle Fultz Named Starting Shooting Guard

Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz has been named the starting shooting guard for Tuesday's season opener, according to head coach Brett Brown. It sounds like Brown has opted to use J.J. Redick in the second half in place of Fultz. It's going to be interesting to see what the 76ers decide to do with Fultz. […]

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 […]
