Brian Roberts made the first start of his NBA career on Sunday, scoring nine points on 3-of-13 shooting, with nine assists, two steals and zero turnovers. Austin Rivers (hand) is likely done for the season and Eric Gordon (knee) still can't play in back-to-back games, so Roberts may get a few spot starts down the stretch. Greivis Vasquez (20 points, seven rebounds, five assists) essentially moved to SG tonight, an interesting wrinkle which paid off with a win. For what it's worth, Roberts is averaging 6.4 points and 0.6 threes in 14 minutes per game this season.

Brian Roberts got hot in 11 minutes during a loss to Cleveland on Wednesday, shooting 7-of-8 from the field for 17 points with one board, one assist and three 3-pointers. He's been playing efficient basketball lately and averaged 7.0 points on 52 percent from the field in just 15.0 minutes during his previous five games. However, the small workload means Roberts isn't worth owning in almost any leagues while Greivis Vasquez is healthy.

Brian Roberts (ankle) returned to action on Monday with two points and two assists in 11 minutes vs. the Kings. This is an accurate picture of Roberts' role. He's a fantasy non-factor as long as Greivis Vasquez is healthy.

Updating a previous item, Brian Roberts (ankle) is expected to return on Monday. He'll backup Greivis Vasquez, and while Austin Rivers could play some backup PG, Roberts is ready to go after just one game on the sidelines.

Brian Roberts (ankle) could return to the lineup on Monday, according to Monty Williams. If Roberts is healthy enough to play, the Hornets can go back to using their regular rotation of having Roberts backup Greivis Vasquez at point guard. Roberts has no fantasy value.

Brian Roberts (ankle) did not play on Saturday. Roberts was a game-time decision and his absence probably went unnoticed in most fantasy leagues, as he's averaging just 11 minutes per game in January. Consider him day-to-day.

Brian Roberts (ankle) participated in shootaround Saturday and coach Monty Williams is cautiously optimistic he'll play tonight. Roberts was in a great deal of pain when he hurt himself Wednesday, so it's a good sign that he was able to get some work in today. Roberts has had some moments in the sun this season, but has been inconsistent overall and doesn't have value barring an injury.

Brian Roberts (ankle) is uncertain to play on Saturday. Roberts left the court in a great deal of pain on Wednesday night, so we're not entirely surprised. If he does miss the game, Austin Rivers could see extended run behind Greivis Vasquez at point guard.

Brian Roberts sprained his left ankle while being fouled on Wednesday and headed straight to the locker room instead of shooting his free throws. That means he isn't eligible to return, and he must have been in a great deal of pain to not shoot them. He'll be day-to-day for now, but this should just mean more minutes for Greivis Vasquez until Roberts is able to play again.

Brian Roberts hit 4-of-7 shots for 11 points, three rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes on Wednesday. Roberts has had some decent games this season, but is far too inconsistent to be used in fantasy leagues as long as Greivis Vasquez is healthy.
