Roberson (knee) has officially been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Suns, Erik Horne of The Oklahoman reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberson was considered doubtful heading into the evening, so the decision to keep him sidelined is unsurprising. He injured his knee in Wednesday's win over the Grizzlies. The absence will mark the first of the season for the 25-year-old. Doug McDermott will draw the start at small forward in his place. His next opportunity to play will be Sunday against the Nuggets.

Roberson (knee) appears doubtful for Friday's matchup with the Suns, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It doesn't look good for Roberson, who was forced to leave Wednesday's win over the Grizzlies due to knee soreness. The 25-year-old has yet to miss a game this season but with the playoffs nearing, the Thunder may opt to play it safe and give their starting small forward the night off. If that is the case, expect Jerami Grant to pick up the start with Doug McDermott also likely to see extended minutes. Look for the Thunder to make an official decision after the team goes through warmups.

Roberson (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Suns, Royce Young of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberson was forced to leave Wednesday's game against the Thunder early because of knee soreness, so depending on how well his injury responds to treatment, there's a chance he's able to take the court. For now, he's been given a questionable designation, with an updated status likely coming following Friday's morning shootaround. Jerami Grant and Doug McDermott would likely pick up more minutes at small forward if Roberson is held out.

Roberson will not return to Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to knee soreness, Brett Dawson of The Oklahoman reports.

EDGE Analysis

It is unclear when the knee became an issue for Roberson, but he was ruled out at half time. He had contributed two points and a rebound in 13 minutes prior to being ruled out from returning. Jerami Grant and Doug McDermott figure to pick up Roberson's minutes going forward. The severity of his injury is not known at this time, but his next opportunity to play will be Friday against the Suns.

Roberson scored 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and added four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Thursday's 123-102 win over the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Typically, about half of Roberson's field goal attempts are from behind the arc. Thursday's stat line was somewhat unusual, therefore, as only two of his eight attempts were from long range. It was only the second time Roberson attempted at least six two-pointers since the All-Star break - both games are the only times he's scored in double-digits during that span. Daily gamers should beware, therefore, that Thursday scoring total has all the marks of an outlier.

Roberson finished with nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and six rebounds across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 126-121 loss to the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Tuesday's contest was a pretty typical showing from Roberson, who averages 6.7 points and 5.2 rebounds across 30.5 minutes per game while shooting 25.9 percent from beyond the arc. Though Roberson usually sees a 30-plus minute workload, he's mostly a defensive presence for the Thunder, which hasn't translated well to significant fantasy production in most leagues.

Roberson scored 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 FT) while adding 11 rebounds, two steals, two blocks and one assist across 36 minutes in Monday's 93-90 loss to the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Roberson has now double-doubled in each of the past two games, averaging 36 minutes of playing time. He doesn't take many shots, but he's efficient when he does as he is 62 percent from the floor over the last four games. He has the opportunity to score especially when he's playing alongside Westbrook, so look for more double-digit point outings in upcoming games.

Roberson provided 14 points (6-8 FT, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three steals and one assist across 36 minutes during Sunday's 105-99 victory over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Roberson came through with an effective performance in this contest, playing terrific perimeter defense against Portland's wing players and notching his first double-double of the season. Although he was efficient from the field Sunday, Roberson's offensive game typically leaves a lot to be desired, and his volatility in other categories makes him a risky fantasy play the majority of the time.

Roberson totaled eight points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes in Monday's 97-95 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Roberson's stat line was particularly impressive considering it came against one of the toughest defenses in the NBA, particularly against the small forward position. The rebound total equaled a season high that Roberson had established back in the second game of the season versus the Suns, while his scoring total represented his fourth eight-point game in the last seven contests. While his offensive contributions are usually modest, Roberson is enjoying his strongest full month on the boards to date, hauling in between eight and Monday's 11 rebounds in four games and averaging 5.4 rebounds overall in 11 January contests.

Roberson put up 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and two blocks in 35 minutes during Thursday's 118-116 loss to Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Roberson tied a season high Thursday, and was a rebound shy of a double-double. However, he continues to struggle from long range, especially on the road where he's hit just 17.1 percent of his shots this season.
