Jordan Clarkson Unavailable On Thursday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (hand) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. The 30-year-old will sit this game out while he deals with a sprained wrist and a dislocated finger. The Jazz are likely to use a committee approach to fill the void of Clarkson. That means, Ochai Agbaji, Talen […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 20

Okay, so this week has been filled with even more carnage than I had expected. We are seeing players rested like crazy and the loss of star players to injury or rest is making it all the more difficult to navigate your way into the next round. You're simply going to have to buckle down […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/9/23): NBA DFS Lineups

This six-game slate is already loaded with out and questionable tags. The good news is that I can point you to some early values, but the uncertainty surrounding some of the higher-priced guards is going to keep us guessing until tipoff. The NBA wouldn't have it any other way, right? With both FanDuel and DraftKings […]

Walker Kessler Will Sit Tuesday With Illness

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Dallas Mavericks. Kessler will be sidelined due to a non-COVID illness after being listed as questionable to play.

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 20

It's time for the playoffs! Most leagues start the playoffs this week unless you are in a non-typical format. You simply can't get too attached to anyone this time of year. If you have a stud that is going to be out more than a week or someone who's badly underperforming- just cut bait and […]

Jordan Clarkson Scores 18 Points, Dislocates Finger

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (wrist, finger) had a team-high 18 points during the loss to OKC on Sunday night.

Clarkson, who has been dealing with a sprained wrist, suffered a dislocated […]

Lauri Markkanen Sidelined On Sunday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (back) won't play in Sunday's game versus OKC. These two teams played on Friday night, with Markkanen finishing with a double-double in 30 minutes. However, he won't be available for the rematch because of low back soreness. With Collin Sexton (hamstring) also unavailable, Talen Horton-Tucker, Kelly Olynyk, and Walker Kessler […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/5/23): NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to another Sunday, RotoBallers. We have a seven-game slate on tap tonight, and it should be a good one, highlighted by a Jazz-Thunder game that holds the highest implied total on the board. The Spurs-Rockets matchup is an appealing game that's a repeat from last night, but Keldon Johnson's return squashes any value we […]

Collin Sexton To Be Evaluated In One Week

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) is set to be re-evaluated in one week. The 24-year-old has already been sidelined for two weeks, so it sounds like he'll miss at least one more week. His absence means that Talen Horton-Tucker should remain in the starting five going forward. He has averaged 14 points over the […]

We have an exciting Sunday slate with ten teams on the main slate to wrap up the weekend.

Welcome to Saturday, RotoBallers. We have a medium-sized slate on our hands tonight in the NBA as we have six games, featuring the Spurs-Jazz affair that currently holds an implied total north of 240 points. In an odd development, no star players are currently listed as questionable on the injury report. That can change in […]

Kelly Olynyk May Miss Matchup With Spurs

Utah Jazz forward Kelly Olynyk (ankle) is questionable ahead of Saturday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran had 12 points, seven rebounds, two steals, and a block in Thursday's overtime win over OKC. However, he is back on the injury report because of a right ankle sprain that's been nagging him for quite […]

Collin Sexton Sidelined Again On Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) is out for Saturday's meeting with the Spurs. The 24-year-old has a left hamstring strain, an injury he picked up before the All-Star break. That said, Sexton is due to be re-evaluated on Monday, so assuming everything checks out, there's a chance he could be back soon. However, Talen […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (2/24/23): NBA DFS Lineups

The NBA returned last night after a full week off and there were no shortages of surprises as Damian Lillard was randomly rested and then Fred VanVleet was a last-minute scratch, too.

Collin Sexton To Be Re-Evaluated Monday

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) will be re-evaluated on Monday and has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Jazz also play on Saturday so it is likely Sexton will remain out for that game as well. Jordan Clarkson and Talen Horton-Tucker should see increased roles with Sexton still […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers: Week 18

It feels like forever ago that I wrote the companion piece to this one, the early week streamers for Week 18.

With the fantasy basketball playoffs being right […]
