Devonte' Graham Sent To San Antonio

The Spurs received guard Devonte' Graham (and four second-round picks) from the Pelicans on Thursday. In return, New Orleans landed Josh Richardson. Graham was traded to the Pelicans in August of 2021 after averaging 14.8 points in his final year in Charlotte. Since then, the 27-year-old has seen his production dwindle, recently averaging 5.3 points […]

Josh Richardson Traded To New Orleans

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Pelicans acquired guard Josh Richardson on Thursday. In return, San Antonio will receive Devonte' Graham and four second-round picks. The 29-year-old has averaged 12.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.1 steals throughout his career, making stops in Miami, Philadelphia, Dallas, Boston, and San Antonio. He's also […]

Fantasy Basketball Starting Lineup Changes - Week 17

Welcome to Rotation Watch, RotoBallers! Each week, this article will highlight the players gaining minutes in their team's rotation. Fantasy managers want to roster the players that accumulate stats and rack up the playing time. They want to avoid the players falling out of favor and watching the action from the sidelines. With the new […]

Jakob Poeltl Moved To The Raptors

According to ESPN NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski, Jakob Poeltl has been traded to the Toronto Raptors for Khem Birch, a protected 2024 first-round pick and two future second-round picks. This season, Poeltl was already averaging just 26.1 minutes per game, so he'll likely remain around the same usage in Toronto, at the very least. They've […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 17

Today is the NBA trade deadline and there were some major deals that shook the league last night, with Kevin Durant going to Phoenix being the biggest. We can expect a few more deals today, but probably nothing of that scale but you never know, right? With only four games today and two games on […]

Keldon Johnson Available Versus Raptors

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (ankle) has been upgraded to available to play Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors. Johnson continues to deal with a sore ankle but will play through it as usual. The Spurs have a lengthy injury report against Toronto which should allow Johnson to continue flourishing on offense. Over the past […]

Jeremy Sochan Misses Another Game Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs power forward Jeremy Sochan (back) will remain sidelined for Wednesday's clash with the Raptors. He's having trouble with his back and won't be available for a third straight game. Sochan had a couple of really strong weeks before getting injured, so the timing is very unfortunate. He was previously regarded as doubtful […]

Tre Jones Remains Out Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs point guard Tre Jones (foot) will miss a third consecutive game Wednesday versus Toronto. He was initially questionable for the game, but the team has now ruled out Jones, who will have his next chance to return Friday against Detroit. Malaki Branham has jumped into the starting lineup in Jones' absence, averaging […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/8/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We're set for a nine-game Wednesday night slate in the wake of LeBron James' momentous achievement Tuesday, yet tonight's array of contests could ultimately produce even more headlines. There's Kyrie Irving's debut in Dallas for a marquee matchup against the Clippers, but the early portion of the ledger may house the most compelling battle of […]

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.

Keldon Johnson Participates In Shootaround

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (ankle) is currently listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. However, the 23-year-old forward was able to participate in shootaround on Monday. That being said, it sounds like Johnson is heading into the right direction. If he cannot play, Stanley Johnson and Isaiah Roby would both […]

Tre Jones Downgraded To Out On Monday

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The 23-year-old was not at shootaround as he continues to receive treatment for his left foot injury. Malaki Branham should continue to start while Jones is on the sideline. The rookie forward is putting together a strong […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/6/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We're poised for an eight-game Monday night slate that features four games with projected totals of over 230 points and five games with spreads of 6.5 points or less. There are also a pair of contests with double-digit favorites, but we should still have plenty of players logging heavy minutes. While there are some big-name […]

The Cut List - Who To Drop for Fantasy Basketball Week 17

What's up, RotoBallers! We're creeping up on All-Star Weekend festivities and a nice little break in the action. 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 […]

Tre Jones Downgraded To Out On Friday Against 76ers

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (foot) previously was listed as doubtful for Friday's game, so it's not surprising that he was eventually ruled out. He'll be the fifth player sidelined for the Spurs as they take on one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. In his absence, Malaki Branham and Josh Richardson […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (02/03/22): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Friday, RotoBallers! I hope you all had a wonderful week up to this point, and a great weekend is forthcoming! We have a nice NBA slate this Friday night.

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 16

It's a busier-than-usual Thursday this week as we get a surprising 7 games on the schedule and then a pretty balanced finish to the week with 8 games tomorrow, 9 games on Saturday, and 6 games on Sunday. Most leagues limit how many players you can stream each week in daily leagues. If your league […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/2/23): NBA DFS Lineups

We have our busiest Thursday of the season so far with seven games going on. Memphis and Golden State are on the tail end of back-to-back sets. I don't really see Memphis sitting players because of the injuries they have anyway, but keep a close eye on Curry, Klay, and Draymond tonight. Don't be surprised […]

Tre Jones Suffers Injury On Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard Tre Jones (foot) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The 23-year-old only played nine minutes before exiting the game due to a left foot injury. He didn't return to this contest and it's uncertain if he'll miss more time because of the issue. Malaki Branham […]

Romeo Langford Questionable For Wednesday's Action

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Romeo Langford (groin) could miss a fifth consecutive game Wednesday against the Kings, with the team listing him as questionable. Langford had just gained some momentum with 10 consecutive starts before dropping out of the lineup early last week. His minutes have been all over the place throughout the season and […]

Josh Richardson Expected To Return Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Josh Richardson (knee) is on track to end a three-game absence in Wednesday's matchup against Sacramento. He's been troubled by a sore left knee, but the team has listed Richardson as probable for the game, which is a strong indication that he will be back. The veteran had a solid January, […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 16 - Christian Wood, Ben Simmons, Steven Adams

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. January is just about finished! I'm doing this midday on Monday for release Tuesday morning, so any news that drops on […]

Romeo Langford To Miss Third Straight Game

San Antonio Spurs guard Romeo Langford (groin) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. The 23-year-old will miss his third game in a row due to left groin tightness. His absence will mean another start for Keita Bates-Diop. Over the last two games, Bates-Diop is averaging 13.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, […]

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 16

It will be February in only a few days and the NBA season is already about halfway over. Remember that the All-Star break is usually a few weeks later than the actual mid-point of the season. What does that mean? It means you have no time to lose if you're fantasy basketball team is going […]

Romeo Langford Won't Play On Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guard Romeo Langford (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It appears the 23-year-old will miss another game due to groin tightness. His absence will mean that Keita Bates-Diop should remain in the starting five. It's unlikely that a move to the starting unit is going to […]

Jeremy Sochan Ruled Out Versus Clippers

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The young forward hasn't been great this season, but his absence is significant with Josh Richardson (knee) also sidelined on Thursday. The Spurs will be forced to ask Doug McDermott and Malaki Branham to play more […]

Josh Richardson Won't Suit Up On Thursday

San Antonio Spurs forward Josh Richardson (knee) has been downgraded to out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran forward is dealing with right knee soreness, which will force him to miss at least this game. This isn't great timing with Jeremy Sochan (quad) also sidelined. That means, Doug McDermott and Malaki […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 15

It's an unconventional finish to the week in Week 15 of the NBA schedule. It's nice having 6 games tonight on a Thursday, but then we have a very odd flip tomorrow with only five games on a Friday and then 11 on Saturday. Sunday then wraps up the week with only four games. Most […]
