Roberts had a rough outing Saturday as he was held scoreless on 0-for-7 shooting. He finished with six assists and four rebounds in 23 minutes on the floor. Roberts' struggles continued Saturday, but it seems as though he'll remain the starting point guard until Kemba Walker returns. Even if he continues to start, he carries a low ceiling and an even lower floor.

Roberts started against the Spurs on Wednesday and put up eight points (3-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists, and three steals in 37 minutes of action. Roberts will be in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future as Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for a minimum of six weeks. That means that Roberts should find a roster across all formats despite his poor shooting performance against the Spurs on Wednesday.

Roberts is likely to fill in as the Hornets' starting point guard with Kemba Walker (knee) set to undergo surgery. The team has not provided a recovery timetable for Walker, but the point guard is expected to miss around six weeks. Roberts, who started Saturday's win over the Knicks, has logged three starts in Walker's absence at various times this season, and he's currently the only other true point guard on the roster. His value should be on the rise in the short-term, though there have already been rumblings suggesting Charlotte is looking to acquire another point guard to vill the void until Walker returns.

Roberts scored 17 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT) with three rebounds, three assists and one block in 33 minutes, starting for the injured Kemba Walker (knee). Roberts has been steady in the three recent starts he has had in place of Walker, but unless Walker sits for a prolonged period, Roberts isn't worthy of consideration outside of deep, deep leagues.

Roberts will draw the start at point guard Saturday against the Knicks with the absence of Kemba Walker (knee), the Charlotte Observer reports. Roberts has filled in at point guard twice in the month of January for Walker. In those two starts, Roberts averaged 33.5 minutes on the court to go along with 11.0 points and 4.5 assists. Obviously his production isn't comparable to that of Walker, but Roberts can be serviceable in daily formats because of his low price tag.

Roberts started for Kemba Walker (knee) and provided six points (2-12 FG, 2-2 FT) and four assists in 40 minutes in the win over the Pacers on Saturday. The 6-1 Roberts is not much of an offensive performer, but he is a nice backup point guard who can change the pace of a game. He had a particularly poor shooting game in the overtime win, but could be of use in deeper leagues if Walker remains out.

Roberts will start in place of Kemba Walker (knee) at point guard against the Pacers on Saturday, the Charlotte Observer reports. Roberts is a great option in daily games Friday since he'll almost certainly play big minutes while donning a low price tag. When playing at least 21 minutes this season, Roberts has scored in double-digits in all but two of eight games. Looking ahead, it's still unclear how severe Walker's injury is, so it might be wise to monitor the normal starter's situation to see if Roberts is worth the add in seasonal leagues.

Roberts (elbow) put up four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists during his 13 minutes off the bench against the Spurs on Wednesday. Roberts was dealing with an elbow injury ahead of Wednesday's game but decided to play on despite whatever aggravation he may have been dealing with. The 29-year-old is averaging 16.4 minutes per game this season so his 13-minute performance against the Spurs seems to denote that he'll be available in his normal fashion moving forward.

Roberts will play through a sore elbow Wednesday against the Spurs, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports. This is the first we're hearing of the injury, which Roberts likely suffered in practice over the last few days. He hasn't missed a game this season, and the elbow issue likely isn't something that will be a problem going forward. Expect the veteran to play his usual complement of 15-20 minutes, though he could see some extra time with Gary Neal (hamstring) ruled out.

Roberts came off the bench Friday in a loss to the Thunder, but led the Hornets in scoring with 17 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT). Roberts was frankly the only Hornet to have any success shooting the ball Friday, as the team scored just 75 points in the game. This was an outlier for Roberts, who had scored single-digit points in four straight games and was averaging 5.4 points per game in December heading into Friday.
