Derrick Favors Should Play On Sunday
Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (back) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Favors has a long history with knee and back problems, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Jazz ease him back into the rotation. Honestly, Favors wasn't doing enough to warrant adding in standard leagues anyway. He'll be […]
Donovan Mitchell Probable For Sunday
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (head) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He has missed each of the last two games after suffering a concussion on Tuesday. It sounds like Mitchell is ready to go, which will mean less minutes for Joe Ingles. He was playing well without Mitchell in […]
Joe Ingles (SG/SF, LAC): Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: Utah Jazz guard/forward Joe Ingles is out there on the waiver wire in over 60 percent of leagues for some reason. That should change. After missing three games earlier in the month, Ingles has stormed back with a vengeance, averaging 3.3 three-pointers per […]
Donovan Mitchell, Derrick Favors Questionable For Sunday
Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) and power forward/center Derrick Favors (back) have both been tagged as questionable to suit up for Sunday's game versus Denver. Mitchell has missed the team's past two outings under the league's concussion protocol, which has paved the way for Joe Ingles to excel among the starting five. Should […]

Mike Conley Delivers Productive Line In Win Over Mavericks
Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley had a very productive outing in a 120-101 blowout victory over Dallas on Friday night. Conley scored 22 points with nine assists, four treys, three rebounds, and three steals in 33 minutes. The best part of his performance was that he had just one turnover, a boon for fantasy managers […]

Rudy Gobert Records Eighth Straight Double-Double
Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert notched his 14th double-double (and eighth straight) in Friday's blowout win over the Mavericks. Gobert only took seven shots but made five of them, adding two blocks in just 25 minutes. The star big man has struggled from the free-throw line this season, though he had no such problems there […]
Bojan Bogdanovic Explodes For Season-High 32 Points
Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic dropped a season-high 32 points in a 120-101 win over the Mavericks. Bogdanovic was on fire, shooting 10-for-16 from the field and 7-for-10 from beyond the arc, as he picked up the offensive slack with Donovan Mitchell sidelined. The 31-year-old has struggled mightily with his shooting efficiency this year, so […]
FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/30/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice
Happy Saturday, everyone. On Friday night, we were treated to some notable fantasy performances, which included two relatively unknowns in Theo Maledon and Juwan Morgan, both crushing their values. With COVID-19 safety protocols in place throughout the league, the 2021 campaign may feature more sleepers than in years past, something fantasy managers will want to […]
Donovan Mitchell Ruled Out For Friday’s Game
Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) has been deemed unavailable to suit up Friday against Dallas as he continues to work his way through the league's concussion protocol. Joe Ingles figures to remain among the starting five without Mitchell in the mix, with the veteran having gone for a season-high 21 points in his […]

Donovan Mitchell Remains Questionable To Suit Up Friday
Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (concussion) has retained his questionable designation ahead of Friday's contest versus Dallas as he works through the league's concussion protocol. Joe Ingles entered the starting five in place of Mitchell in the team's most recent outing, a role that he would figure to reprise should the Jazz's leading scorer […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers for Week 6
Week 6 already? It was just yesterday that I was flummoxed by the quick turnaround to the season. Time flies when you're having fun, right? Fantasy hoops is our joy but it hasn't been all fun and games this season. Injuries, postponements, and COVID have made this season more MASH than NBA is faaaaaaantastic. As […]
DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/28/21): NBA DFS Lineups
Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! The league is giving DFS players four games to choose from tonight. The four games aren't close to the full slate on other evenings, but it is still a fantastic lineup of superstars to have in your lineups. A couple of injuries and absences will also open the door to some sneaky […]
Jordan Clarkson Scores 31 Points On Wednesday
Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson scored 31 points on 11-for-21 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Dallas Mavericks. He was 4-for-11 from three and added seven rebounds. Clarkson has had a solid scoring role off the Jazz bench this season, but nothing like Wednesday's game, as he'd only had one game with even 25-plus points. […]
Rudy Gobert Goes Off Against Dallas
The Utah Jazz pushed their winning streak to 10 games on Wednesday behind a huge showing from center Rudy Gobert. In 37 minutes of action, Gobert scored 29 points on 11-for-20 shooting and grabbed 20 rebounds. He also added three steals, three blocks, and one assist. Arguably the NBA's best defensive big, Gobert isn't known […]
Derrick Favors Downgraded To Out Against Dallas
Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (back) will not play Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Favors was questionable with back soreness before being downgraded to out. Favors has been playing limited minutes off the bench for the Jazz, but Utah is already without Donovan Mitchell (concussion). Georges Niang will probably get more run in the second […]
Donovan Mitchell Ruled Out On Wednesday
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (head) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He took a couple hard hits on Tuesday and is currently in concussion protocol. This is obviously a significant hit to the Jazz rotation that cannot be easily filled. Jordan Clarkson, Mike Conley, and Royce O'Neale should be […]
Derrick Favors Could Sit Wednesday
Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It seems like Favors has been banged up all season, but he does have a long injury history. That being said, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Jazz play it safe here. Udoka Azubuike would see more […]
Rudy Gobert Takes Double-Double Streak To Six Games
Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert posted his sixth consecutive double-double on Tuesday, finishing a 108-94 win over the Knicks with 18 points and a season-high 19 rebounds. He added four blocks and a couple of assists while shooting 8-for-13 from the field. Gobert now has 12 double-doubles for the season, which is the sixth-best mark […]
Royce O'Neale Scores Career-High 20 Points
Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale had a career night on Tuesday, leading the team with 20 points in a 108-94 win over the Knicks. The Jazz had a bunch of people struggling, including Donovan Mitchell who went 3-for-15 from the floor, so they needed somebody to step up and O'Neale answered the call. He shot […]

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 6
The deeper a fantasy league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to help […]
