Fantasy Basketball Injuries From Monday: Donovan Mitchell, Josh Okogie, Kyle Lowry, Rudy Gobert

As we celebrate the contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the NBA had a loaded schedule throughout Monday. Unfortunately, there were some injuries throughout the day, which may create issues for teams moving ahead. This article will highlight some of the critical injuries that occurred on Saturday, January 16, 2023. At the same time, […]

Landry Shamet To Start Versus Grizzlies

Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet (hip) will make his return to the court after a three-game absence. He'll immediately move into the starting five with Chris Paul (hip) still sidelined. Shamet should have decent streaming appeal with increased playing time. Duane Washington Jr. will head to the bench and won't have as strong of appeal […]

Chris Paul Ruled Out For Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran guard will miss at least one more game due to hip soreness. In his absence, Landry Shamet will move into the starting five for Monday's game. He's worth considering as a streaming option while Paul is […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/16/23): NBA DFS Lineups

MLK Day is always a momentous one on the NBA calendar, and the majority of the games are usually in the earlier portion of the day. This year is no different, as there is a five-game main slate on DK and a six-game ledger on FD, with the latter including the Suns-Grizzlies evening matchup. There […]

Hopefully, all of your teams are still firmly in contention for the fantasy league championship. The Drop List returns for another week, and it might not be kind to some of your rosters. Each week, I'll take a […]

Damion Lee Notches A Career-High 31 Points Friday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Damion Lee led the team with a career-high 31 points in Friday's 121-116 loss to Minnesota. He provided microwave scoring off the bench in 31 minutes, shooting 10-for-17 from the field and a spectacular 6-for-7 from downtown. Lee capped off his career night with six rebounds and two assists. The 30-year-old is […]

Deandre Ayton Back For Friday's Game

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will be back from a two-game absence Friday against Minnesota. His return will push Bismack Biyombo back to the bench, and the former No. 1 pick should have a large role to play in the game, with Phoenix still missing multiple key contributors, including Devin Booker (groin) and Chris […]

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! I hope you all had an excellent week to this point, and a great weekend is forthcoming! We have a plentiful NBA slate tonight, with a bunch of games on the board and some very fun matchups to look forward to. I'm a big fan of Friday slates since Thursday slates are […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 13

It's a glorious schedule for the remainder of the week in the NBA as we have six games tonight, nine games on Friday, seven on Saturday, and another eight on Sunday. That's simply the best, most-balanced stretch of games we have seen in a while. And it's a beautiful thing if you're looking to stream […]

Cameron Johnson Does 1-On-1 Work

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Johnson (knee) has been able to do 1-on-1 work, according to head coach Monty Williams. This is great news, as Johnson is working his way back from a right meniscus tear in early November. The organization hasn't given a timetable for his return, but it sounds like Johnson is making progress. […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/11/23 - Monkey Knife Fight

Rave about the high-scoring games all you want, I’m here for the free-throws. The Miami Heat converted, for the first time in NBA history, 100% of their 40 free-throw attempts and this isn’t the only notable ‘charity stripe’ narrative this season. Luka Doncic is slowly becoming notorious for his “missed” free-throws you can be sure […]

Deandre Ayton Ruled Out Against Warriors

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors. Ayton will sit Tuesday with an ankle sprain as he continues to have ankle issues throughout the season. Jock Landale will get the spot start over Bismack Biyombo. Landale should be a decent streaming and DFS option while Ayton is […]

Landry Shamet Ruled Out For Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This hurts with the Suns already shorthanded for this contest. The team is without Deandre Ayton, Chris Paul, Devin Booker, and Shamet for Tuesday's contest. The expectation is that Damion Lee or Josh Okogie would move into […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 13 - Kevin Durant, Zion Williamson, Marcus Smart

Welcome back RotoBallers! I'm here to help you stay up to date on injury news, and how it impacts your teams in case you had a busy weekend and couldn't keep track of everything. It's week 13, and this week has a Friday the 13th, so let's hope that's not a bad omen. I'm doing […]

Happy Tuesday RotoBallers! Tonight we've got a solid 7 game slate, headlined by the TNT doubleheader. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games.

Deandre Ayton Questionable With Ankle Sprain Tuesday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is listed as questionable with an ankle sprain for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Ayton's had his fair share of ankle problems throughout his career, including a couple instances already this year. If Ayton is unable to go, Bismack Biyombo and Jock Landale would likely split the […]

Duane Washington Jr. Produces 25 Points In 25 Minutes

Phoenix Suns point guard Duane Washington Jr. was the lone bright spot of a 112-98 loss to Cleveland on Sunday, leading all scorers with 25 points on 9-for-18 shooting. He went 5-for-6 with the three-ball and posted one rebound and three assists in 25 minutes off the bench. Washington Jr. has now logged 25 minutes […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 13

The NBA season has been a roller coaster already for many fantasy basketball managers. Last week, we saw another slew of injuries to big-time players, which means IR spots are starting to fill up and the waiver wire is starting to thin out as teams look to replace the fantasy production of their injured stars. […]

Chris Paul Ruled Out For Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran guard is considered day-to-day after exiting early during Friday's contest. Damion Lee started in his place during the second half of Friday's game. He is the favorite to get the start in Paul's place, so he […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13 Include Montrezl Harrell, Victor Oladipo, Dennis Schroder, Naji Marshall

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/8/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a six-game slate on tap in the NBA tonight, which is typically my favorite sweet spot of games on a slate. However, this is shaping up to be one of the trickier slates this season, as we have a handful of stars and a group of important rotational pieces with questionable injury designations. […]

Devin Booker To Be Re-Evaluated By End Of January

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) will be re-evaluated in the last week of January, according to Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic. The veteran has been bothered by a groin strain, which hasn't been ideal for a Suns team that has lost eight of their previous nine games. Even worse, Chris Paul (hip) is […]

Cameron Payne To Be Re-Evaluated In Two Weeks

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (foot) will be re-evaluated in two weeks, according to head coach Monty Williams. Payne sprained his right foot on Wednesday, which isn't ideal for a Suns team that has lost their last five games. Chris Paul (hip) is day-to-day, while Devin Booker (groin) remains out for the foreseeable future. As […]

Chris Paul Day-To-Day

Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul (hip) is considered day-to-day, according to head coach Monty Williams. The veteran exited Friday's loss to Miami because of right hip soreness, finishing with only five points in 12 minutes. The Suns will also be without Cameron Payne (foot), who took over for Paul while he missed 14 games with […]

Cameron Payne Unavailable Friday

Phoenix Suns point guard Cameron Payne (foot) won't be able to take the court Friday against Miami. He left Wednesday's clash with Cleveland early and is nursing a sore right foot. Payne had only just returned from a nine-game absence, so he's had some really bad luck on the injury front. His absence gives Duane […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 12

It's Thursday and today marks the halfway point of the week, where we have to access our team's weekly performance so far and figure out how to best stream players the rest of the week in order to get that weekly win in H2H leagues! We have only four games tonight and five games on […]

Cameron Payne To Miss The Rest Of Wednesday's Game

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is not a good sign considering this was Payne's first game back after a nine-game absence due to a sprained right foot. There is a good chance that Payne misses more time from this […]
