Josh McRoberts scored three points on 1-of-5 shooting (all threes) with two rebounds and four assists in 15 foul-plagued minutes on Monday.
McRoberts isn't going to make owners confident going into Wednesday's game after this result but a late-round grade is probably a fair projection. Gary Neal added 17 points with two threes in 25 minutes off the bench, and he's only worth a look if you're hunting points and threes.

Josh McRoberts returned from a sprained ankle and hit 5-of-12 shots for 12 points, two rebounds, two assists, two steals and two 3-pointers in 34 minutes on Wednesday.
McBob has had a nice season and has been a borderline player to own for most of the year. And tonight was pretty typical of what he should do the rest of the way.

Josh McRoberts (sprained ankle) intends to play vs. the Wizards on Wednesday.
"" feel pretty good," said McRoberts. "I plan on giving it a shot." He practiced on Monday and Tuesday but did not go through any scrimmages, so anyone relying on him should confirm his availability closer to tip-off. His absence has had an immediate impact on Charlotte's play, and coach Steve Clifford said his team hasn't "had nearly the same ball movement, the same pace up and down the floor."

Josh McRoberts is expected to play on Wednesday despite a sprained ankle, according to coach Steve Clifford.
"Nothing is set in stone" and a lot can happen between now and game time, but if you were on the fence about starting McBob this week, it does sound like there's a decent chance he'll play tomorrow.

Josh McRoberts (ankle) is doubtful to play vs. the Magic on Friday.
Beat writer Rick Bonnell surmises that if McBob sits on Friday he'll also remain out Saturday in Cleveland. Cody Zeller had nine points, eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 27 minutes as a starter on Wednesday, while Bismack Biyombo and Anthony Tolliver also picked up extra playing time off the bench.

Josh McRoberts will not play against the Sixers on Wednesday due to a sprained left ankle.
He suffered the injury on Monday night and this will be his first game out of the lineup since Nov. 13. McRoberts played 31.1 minutes per game in March, so coach Steve Clifford will have to get creative with his rotation. When McRoberts isn't on the court, the overwhelming majority of the left over playing time at power forward has gone to Cody Zeller, so he's looking at his greatest opportunity as a pro in a favorable matchup. Anthony Tolliver will get in the mix while Chris Douglas-Roberts could come in the game as part of a smaller lineup.

Josh McRoberts got loose in Friday's overtime loss to the Magic, scoring 24 points on 8-of-16 shooting (including a career-high six threes) with seven rebounds, six assists, one steal and two blocks.
McRoberts is among the most underrated players in the league and has been key to the Bobcats' success this season. He's improved some of the consistency issues that dogged him in the first half of the season as far as fantasy production is concerned, but since then he has been a must-own player in 12-team formats.

Josh McRoberts hit 5-of-6 shots for 12 points, six rebounds, four assists and a steal in Wednesday's overtime win against the Nets on Wednesday.
McBob had an incredible reverse jam in traffic late in the game, which could be the No. 1 play of the night on the four-letter network later. His scoring has been an issue lately, although he has scored 12 and 11 points in his last two games. He's a borderline fantasy play, just as he has been all season.

Josh McRoberts scored seven points on 3-of-6 shooting (including a three) with two rebounds and four assists in 25 minutes.
McRoberts jumped on and off waiver wires for much of the first half of the season but is a classic grinder in fantasy leagues. If you set it and forget it with him all season long he has returned mid-round value by virtue of constant late round value.
