Mike Conley To Miss Friday's Game

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (leg) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This marks the third game in a row that Conley has missed due to a leg issue.

Malik Beasley Posts Big Game In Loss

The 25-year-old posted 29 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists on 50% shooting overall and 53.3% shooting from deep. Whenever given the minutes, he delivers quite often. The biggest issue since joining the Jazz has been […]

Mike Conley Out Again Versus Detroit

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) is out against the Pistons on Wednesday. The 35-year-old strained the Popliteus muscle in his left knee, an injury he picked up during Saturday's meeting in Portland.

Malik Beasley Has Another Strong Showing

Utah Jazz guard/forward Malik Beasley has come to life lately and was able to lead all scorers with 29 points in Saturday's 118-113 win over Portland.

Mike Conley Injures Knee on Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) won't return to Saturday's matchup against the Utah Jazz after hyperextending his left knee. The 35-year-old has averaged 10.9 points and 8.2 assists this season, so he's at least offered something to fantasy managers. However, it's certainly possible Conley misses time moving ahead, which would open the door for […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (11/19/22): NBA DFS Lineups

Welcome to the weekend, RotoBallers. We have a tricky little four-game slate on tap tonight in the NBA. The Magic-Pacers matchup projects as the top game to target for DFS, but the Jazz-Blazers affair looks targetable too and we have to get exposure to most teams on a four-gamer, anyway.
