Brian Roberts is a game-time call for Wednesday vs. the Rockets on Wednesday. He needs three more free throws to qualify for the free-throw percentage title, so that is likely a priority for him. If he's out, Austin Rivers will start and could have success with big minutes.

Brian Roberts (ankle) is doubtful to play on Monday due to his lingering ankle injury. Austin Rivers had a big game on Saturday and should be primed for a lot more action tonight.

Brian Robers (ankle) will not play against the Rockets on Saturday. Hopefully he can make it back in time this season because he just needs four more free throws to qualify as the league's leader in percentage. Roberts did not return from his ankle injury on Friday night and ti's certainly possible he's out for the year. Austin Rivers will start, but he'll give way to Tyreke Evans.

Brian Roberts' sprained left ankle will prevent him from playing on Saturday. His absence means that Austin Rivers should get huge minutes at PG vs. the Rockets, and the Pelicans will be lucky to avoid their eighth consecutive defeat. Their final two games come against the Thunder and Rockets (again) so a double-digit slump is also quite possible.

Brian Roberts suffered a left ankle sprain on Friday and will not return. He came off the bench tonight and finished with two points, one board and one foul in eight minutes. Roberts made both of his attempts from the line and now needs just four more to qualify as the NBA's leader in free throw percentage. Austin Rivers will get more run and is on the radar as a pickup for PG-needy owners.

Brian Roberts will come off the bench vs. the Thunder on Friday. He should still get some nice run off the bench, but the move makes him less likely to have a big game and moves him off the radar as a play tonight. The big thing to watch for Roberts is that he takes six free throws the rest of the way, which will qualify him for the NBA percentage crown.

Brian Roberts played just 22 minutes on Monday against the Kings, scoring nine points on 4-of-12 shooting with one three, one rebound and two assists. Roberts' knee might not be at 100 percent and let Ray McCallum run all over him when on the floor, so he's far from being a must-own player in standard leagues. But with a starting job intact he should be watched at a bare minimum, even if he has a low-ceiling due to various fantasy deficiencies.

Brian Roberts will start against the Kings on Monday. He came off the bench in his return on Saturday and should see around 30 minutes tonight. Roberts gets matched up against Ray McCallum and could get plenty of open looks, which makes him an option in most standard leagues.

Brian Roberts returned from a two-game absence on Saturday during a 96-80 loss to the Spurs, scoring 18 points with three boards, five assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 29 minutes. He's another guy to play through an in-game knee injury and miss multiple games, but he looked fine tonight. Sure, there's the talk of the Pelicans wanting to tank to try and retain their pick from the Sixers, but Roberts should be good to go the rest of the way now that he's back. He's a solid No. 3 point guard in standard leagues with the upside of being a No. 2 should Eric Gordon (knee) remain out.
