Andrew Knizner Could Miss Time

St. Louis Cardinals catcher Andrew Knizner (head) was forced to exit Thursday's game due to concussion symptoms. He took a couple of foul balls to the mask and was unable to continue.

Andre Iguodala Will Miss Game 2

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (back) won't be available for Friday's Game 2 against the Dallas Mavericks. The team continues to evaluate Iguodala for his left cervical disk injury. He'll miss at least Friday's game, but could sit out more of this series as well. His absence won't have much of an impact on […]

Jayson Tatum Continues Hot Stretch

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum nearly dropped 30 points in Game 1, but left more in the tank for Thursday's Game 2 contest.

Jimmy Butler Drops 29 Points In Loss

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was basically the lone bright spot for his team during Thursday's Game 2 against the Boston Celtics.

This was a solid performance from Butler, but sadly his teammates weren't able to bring […]

P.J. Tucker Forced Out Early Due To Injury

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's Game 2 against the Boston Celtics. The veteran forward lasted 22 minutes before exiting due to a left knee contusion. This is the type of injury that could sideline Tucker for a couple of games. His defense will surely be missed if […]

Suns Unlikely To Make Major Overhauls

The Phoenix Suns are unlikely to make significant moves this offseason. This is surprising to some considering how they were eliminated from the postseason by the Dallas Mavericks. Despite that, head coach Monty Williams expects Chris Paul (quad) to come back stronger back next season. Young big man Deandre Ayton is a restricted free agent, […]

Stephen Curry Scores 21 Points In Game 1 Victory

Clay Holmes Earns Third Save On Wednesday

New York Yankees relief pitcher Clay Holmes worked a pair of scoreless innings during Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles.

Regardless, Bednar closed the door, which makes him eight-for-eight in […]

Al Horford Unlikely To Play In Game 2

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford is unlikely to suit up for Thursday's Game 2 against the Miami Heat. The veteran forward is absent due to the league's health and safety protocols. There is a chance that Horford doesn't return during this series. Luckily, Robert Williams III (calf) is ready to play, so he'll likely see […]

Marcus Smart Is Probable For Game 2

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (foot) has been upgraded to probable for Thursday's Game 2 against the Miami Heat. The expectation is that Smart will be able to return on Thursday, but fantasy managers will have to wait and see. Derrick White would move back to the bench, assuming Smart returns. Hopefully, White can do […]

Gabe Vincent Tagged As Questionable For Game 2

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's Game 2 against the Boston Celtics. He'll be joined by Max Strus (hamstring) on the injured report for this contest.

Tommy Edman To Sit Out Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Tommy Edman (calf) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. He was hit by a pitch during Tuesday's game and is still dealing with some calf soreness. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried as Edman is expected to avoid a trip to the injured […]

Giancarlo Stanton To Sit Out On Wednesday

New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. Fantasy managers don't need to be concerned as this appears to be a routine day off for the veteran slugger. Marwin Gonzalez will draw the start in right field and bat eighth versus right-hander Jordan […]

Andrew McCutchen Expected To Return On Friday

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Andrew McCutchen is expected to be activated on Friday. The veteran outfielder has been sidelined the last few days due to COVID-19 protocols.

Tyler O'Neill Resting On Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill (rest) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. He was given a couple of days off recently to hopefully get over his slump at the plate. The 26-year-old is hitting .195/.256/.297 with two homers, 20 RBI this season. He'll sit out Wednesday's […]

Daniel Bard Notches Tenth Save

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Daniel Bard has been roughed up lately, but bounced back nicely during Wednesday's contest.

P.J. Tucker Returns In The Second Half

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (foot) started during the second half of Tuesday's Game 1 against the Boston Celtics. He was forced to exit after only 10 minutes of action due to a right foot injury. It was a non-contact injury and Tucker was able to head to the locker room under his own power. […]

Derrick Favors Opts Into Player Option

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Derrick Favors has opted in to his player option for the upcoming season. The 30-year-old will accept his $10.2 million option and remain with the team for the 2022-2023 campaign. This isn't too shocking as it's unlikely Favors would get more than $10 million in free agency. The former third overall […]
