Matt Reynolds will bat ninth and […]

Ketel Marte Is Back In The Lineup On Saturday

Kyle Lowry Questionable For Game 3

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Boston Celtics. He has missed the last four games and eight total games during the postseason.

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Boston Celtics. He was forced to exit early during Game 2 due to a left knee contusion.

Seiya Suzuki To Sit Out On Friday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. This appears to be a routine day off for Suzuki who has struggled at the plate lately. He has struck out in nine of his last 25 plate appearances, so he could use a day off. […]

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. He remains with the team, but will be re-evaluated to see if a roster move is needed. Knizner doesn't offer much upside with […]

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.

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.

Blake Snell Gets Roughed Up In Season Debut

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.
