Sunday was a nice boost for Millsap, who hadn't scored over 19 points during any contest this […]

Torrey Craig Doesn't Get Minutes On Sunday

Denver Nuggets forward Torrey Craig was hit with the dreaded did not play/coach's decision on Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks. It is a disappointing development for the 27-year-old, who was starting for the team just a few games ago. Craig struggled during his 10 starts this season, averaging only 4.2 points on 38.6 percent shooting, […]

Trey Lyles Produces In Bench Role

Denver Nuggets forward Trey Lyles scored 16 points on 7-for-11 shooting with two three-pointers and five rebounds in just 20 minutes of action against the Milwaukee Bucks. Lyles has been solid in his previous 10 games, averaging 12.4 points and 5.4 rebounds, but he just isn't getting enough playing time on a nightly basis to […]

Malcolm Brogdon Adds Some Defense

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon produced his third straight game of at least 20 points, scoring 20 points on 7-for-13 shooting from the floor. Brogdon, who has been delivering top-100 category league value without any help from the defensive side of the ball, was able to produce two steals on the night, giving him four […]

Eric Bledsoe Clutches Up Late

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe scored 12 points on four of 10 shooting, adding in eight rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block in 30 minutes of action against the Denver Nuggets.

Brook Lopez Explodes For Eight Threes

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez exploded for a season-high 28 points on Sunday, making 10 of 17 shots and a career-high eight three-pointers.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton scored 21 points on 8-for-12 shooting, which included going 3-for-5 from deep. Middleton was able to add five rebounds and two assists on the night.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Continues To Shine

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 22 points to go along with nine rebounds, eight assists, two steals and one block during Sunday's road win versus the Denver Nuggets. Antetokounmpo has been fantastic for points-league owners this season and will rival top overall production for the year. In nine-category leagues, the 23-year-old is less effective […]

Khris Middleton Fouls Out On Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton scored 14 points on 6-for-13 shooting in Saturday's road overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Shines In Overtime Loss

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo put together a brilliant display of basketball in the team's 128-126 road overtime loss. Antetokounmpo scored 27 points on 11-for-19 shooting and added in 18 rebounds, four assists, five steals, two blocks and six turnovers.

Maurice Harkless Ruled Out For Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Maurice Harkless has been ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Boston Celtics. Harkless has now missed the previous eight games. The fact that he continually keeps getting ruled out over 24 hours before game-time is not an encouraging sign that a return is imminent. Evan Turner has been the biggest […]

Wilson Chandler Out Against Grizzlies

Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler (rest, hamstring) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Chandler is still recovering from a hamstring injury and isn't quite ready to play in back-to-back sets, but he did have his minutes increased to 15 for the last two games. It is not ideal timing for […]

Nikola Mirotic Out On Saturday Against Suns

New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's contest against the Phoenix Suns, making it the first game he has missed on the year. Mirotic picked up a sprained right ankle during Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was initially listed as questionable, but the pain was too much […]

Elfrid Payton Out On Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) will not play against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday. Payton was called a game-time decision, but he'll ultimately end up missing his seventh straight contest. The 24-year-old will have his next chance to play on Monday against the Toronto Raptors. Jrue Holiday will have additional ball-handling duties while […]

Dario Saric Gets Traded To Minnesota

The Minnesota Timberwolves have acquired forward Dario Saric from the Philadelphia 76ers. The 76ers were never seriously mentioned in the Jimmy Butler sweepstakes, so this move is pretty surprising. It will be interesting to see how Minnesota coach Tom Thibodeau uses Saric going forward, but it is likely that he will slide right into the […]

Robert Covington Gets Traded To Minnesota

The Minnesota Timberwolves have acquired forward Robert Covington from the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers will be sending two of their starting forwards to Minnesota for Jimmy Butler, who has finally forced his way out of Minnesota's organization. The 27-year-old Covington is among the best wing defenders in the NBA, and at the time of the […]

Jakob Poeltl Out On Saturday

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl has been ruled out of Saturday's contest against the Houston Rockets. With Pau Gasol (foot) also out, Chimezie Metu may see backup minutes at center. Poeltl has been a disappointment so far in San Antonio, averaging just 1.9 points and 3.4 rebounds in 10 minutes. He should be left […]

Welcome to the RotoBaller NBA Recap. In this feature, we highlight three fantasy basketball takeaways from last night's slate of NBA games. Friday did not disappoint with a handful of contests coming down to the final minute to be decided. Caris Levert hit the game-winner for the Brooklyn Nets over the Denver Nuggets on the […]

John Henson Questionable for Saturday's Game

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center John Henson (wrist) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers due to left wrist soreness. Henson was also listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors but finished with four points, three rebounds and one block in 13 minutes of action. Henson's 14.9 minutes […]

Al Horford Posts Solid Stat Line On Friday

Boston Celtics center Al Horford posted 13 points, four rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer on Friday night against the Utah Jazz in 29 minutes. The best way to describe Horford would be solid without being spectacular. He possesses the ability to fill the box score on any given night but […]

Jayson Tatum Scores 21 Points Against Jazz

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum scored 21 points with four assists, three rebounds, five steals and two triples in 36 minutes of action against the Utah Jazz. He was also 7-for-14 from the field and 5-for-6 from the charity stripe. Tatum's five steals were a career-high total. The 20-year-old is currently sitting just inside the […]

Gordon Hayward Returns To Utah, Scores 13 Points

Boston Celtics guard/ forward Gordon Hayward scored 13 points with seven assists, one rebound, one steal and one triple against his former Utah Jazz team. Hayward participated in his first back-to-back set of the season, which is promising news after the 28-year-old dislocated his ankle and fractured his tibia just five minutes into his Celtic […]

Terry Rozier Fills In Nicely For Kyrie Irving

Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier filled in tonight for Kyrie Irving (personal), who was dealing with the death of his grandfather.

DeMarre Carroll Available On Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll (ankle) will be making his season debut tonight against the Denver Nuggets. Carroll has been expected to play all day, and coach Kenny Atkinson has said he will be easing the 32-year-old back into action. Carroll should remove Jared Dudley from the lineup entirely, but not much is known about […]

Victor Oladipo Likely To Play Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) tweaked his knee on Wednesday versus the Philadelphia 76ers but should be good to go Friday against the Heat. While this never seemed to be in doubt, it is still positive news for all Oladipo owners and those that are rostering him on the night. The 26-year-old looked good […]

Pau Gasol Out Again On Saturday

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Pau Gasol (foot) will not be active for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. It'll be his second straight contest that he has been ruled out for with soreness problems. Jakob Poeltl should be the beneficiary of Gasol's absence, but coach Gregg Popovich didn't play Poetl next to LaMarcus Aldridge on […]
