Brian Roberts (knee) will return to the lineup against the Spurs on Saturday. He missed two games due to a knee bruise which he suffered back on Monday. Roberts did play through that bruise and he should be close to 100 percent. He probably won't be handling the ball much, but at least he can fill the void left in a very shallow backcourt.

Brian Roberts (knee) will not play against the Jazz on Friday night. The Pelicans do get Austin Rivers back, so he can act as a backup point guard behind Tyreke Evans. The team used Darius Miller as a backup, so he's likely a player who will see a larger decrease in action. Owners should deploy Anthony Morrow and Evans as planned while Rivers is still a bit risky. Roberts should be considered questionable for Saturday.

Brian Roberts (knee) is still listed as day-to-day and is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz. Roberts didn't do much during Thursday's practice, so the lack of news about him from the Pelican's on Friday would put his status in doubt for Friday's game against the Jazz. Austin Rivers is over his illness and will be able to suit up Friday, so he will be in line to see big minutes alongside Tyreke Evans and Anthony Morrow if Roberts is unable to go.

Pelicans PG Brian Roberts (sore knee) "didn't do much of anything" during Thursday's practice. "He's got to get over the soreness," said coach Monty Williams. "That bone bruise has to calm down." Roberts and Eric Gordon (knee) are both iffy to return for Friday's game, which opens up plenty of playing time for Tyreke Evans, Anthony Morrow and possibly Austin Rivers (illness).

Brian Roberts (knee), Eric Gordon (knee) and Austin Rivers (illness) will not play on Wednesday vs. the Clippers. Ouch. The Pelicans will be extremely short handed with three of their guards out of the lineup. Roberts suffered his knee injury on Monday and it didn't cost him any time, but he walking with a limp right now. He should be considered questionable for Friday's game vs. the Jazz.

Brian Roberts is listed as day-to-day with a bone bruise in his left knee. Roberts was limping and he sounds iffy to start Wednesday's game vs. the Clippers, which could leave the short-handed Pelicans in a very precarious situation. Austin Rivers is the most likely option to start at PG if Roberts doesn't play, with Tyreke Evans also taking on more playmaking responsibilities.

Brian Roberts did not miss any time from an apparent knee injury on Monday, finishing with 17 points, three rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and three 3-poitners in 36 minutes. He had a mild tweak as he was driving to the basket, but he hit his subsequent free throws and he didn't appear to be limping down the stretch whatsoever. Roberts' shots are climbing a bit and he's put up double-digit attempts in six of his last seven. He's not quite a must-own player, but he does enough in the stat sheet to warrant ownership in standard formats.

Brian Roberts suffered an apparent left knee injury against the Nets on Monday. He drove to the basket and his knee did seem to lose some stability. Roberts was in pain for a while, but he did not need to miss time.

Brian Roberts scored 19 points with five assists, one steal and one 3-pointer against the Blazers on Friday. The Blazers do give up some points to guards and Roberts was finally able to do some damage in 39 minutes. His minutes haven't really taken off with just 27.6 per game since the All-Star break and he can't hit 3-pointers, so he's not a great player to own in shallower formats. Roberts is shaping up to just be a No. 3 point guard in fantasy leagues.

Brian Roberts took advantage of a favorable matchup on Tuesday with 19 points, two assists and one 3-pointer on 6-of-10 from the field against the Lakers. He's been a little inconsistent since taking over as the starter, averaging 11.7 points, 2.5 boards, 4.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.1 triples in his previous 27 starts. Roberts is not taking quite as many contested shots lately and it could be due to Tyreke Evans breaking down the defense, so Roberts might see better overall numbers despite how his touches could go down.
