Texans Expected To Hire Lovie Smith As Head Coach

The Houston Texans head coaching search appears to be over. They appeared to be down to three finalists Josh McCown, Jonathan Gannon, and Brian Flores. However, it doesn't sound like any of them are getting the head coaching job. Instead, defensive coordinator Lovie Smith is expected to be the Texans new head coach. The deal […]

Max Strus Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Miami Heat forward Max Strus (quad) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He missed Saturday's game and could very well sit out another contest due to a right quad contusion. Tyler Herro (knee) and Gabe Vincent would be the two players that would benefit the most, assuming Strus sits out. […]

Jimmy Butler Could Sit Against Wizards

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was tagged as questionable for Saturday's contest and ended up playing 29 minutes in that game. His absence would open up playing time for Tyler Herro (knee), Gabe Vincent, and possibly Max Strus (quad) as well. It's […]

Austin Rivers Exits Early On Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard Austin Rivers (hip) didn't last long during Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. In fact, Rivers only played eight minutes before exiting with a right hip flexor injury. He headed back to the locker room and didn't return to action during Sunday's game. His absence resulted in bigger roles for Bryn Forbes […]

Jordan Clarkson Questionable For Monday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. He has missed each of the last two games due to right knee soreness. Jared Butler and Trent Forrest would likely pick up additional minutes if Clarkson is out. However, neither player is much of a fantasy […]

Rudy Gobert Ruled Out On Monday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. He has missed each of the last six games, but the Jazz are hopeful to get Gobert back before the All-Star break. In the meantime, Hassan Whiteside should continue to start and have short term streaming appeal. […]

Larry Nance Jr. Suffers Setback In Recovery

Portland Trail Blazers forward Larry Nance Jr. (knee) has suffered a setback in his recovery, according to head coach Chauncey Billups. Nance has not appeared in a game since early January and doesn't have a timetable for his return. Billups announced recently that Nance suffered a setback and will be re-evaluated at some point. That […]

Adrian Gonzalez Retires From Baseball

Free-agent first baseman Adrian Gonzalez has decided to retire from professional baseball. The 39-year-old hasn't appeared in an MLB game since 2018 with the New York Mets. He was a former first overall selection by the San Diego Padres in 2000. Gonzalez was a five-time All-Star and a four-time Gold Glove winner. He slashed .287/.358/.485 […]

Yankees Likely To Pursue Freddie Freeman

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman has hit the free-agent market, and the organization hasn't jumped on extending their superstar slugger. To be fair, there are not any MLB signings allowed while the new CBA is being discussed. Regardless, it sounds like the New York Yankees are going to take a run at Freeman this […]

Marcell Ozuna Expected To Return In 2022

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna is expected to return to the field in 2022, according to manager Brian Snitker. Ozuna is eligible to return this season following his suspension for his domestic violence charges. Snitker mentions that he would have no issues playing Ozuna, assuming he's cleared to play. The Braves have Ozuna under contract […]

Twins Sign Tim Beckham To Minor League Deal

The Minnesota Twins have decided to sign infielder Tim Beckham to a minor league deal. The former first overall draft pick from 2008 hasn't played in the MLB since 2019 with the Seattle Mariners. Beckham spent time in the minor league system with the Chicago White Sox last year. However, Beckham only managed to play […]

Robinson Cano Hitting Well In Winter Ball

New York Mets second baseman Robinson Cano is expected to be back with the organization for the 2022 season. He was suspended for the entire 2021 season for breaking the MLB's drug policy for the second time. Despite that, Cano remains on the Mets payroll for the 2022 and 2023 season. He is owed $24 […]

Akil Baddoo Continues Improving

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo has done a ton of work in the offseason to improve himself. Last season was Baddoo's first year back after having Tommy John surgery. He admits that his arm wasn't 100 percent during the 2021 season. However, he has done stretching and workouts over the offseason to help with his […]

John Collins Available On Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (shoulder) is available for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. There was concern whether or not Collins would play in this game after suffering a shoulder injury during their last contest. However, it appears Collins is fine to play on Friday and is expected to resume his normal role on […]

Coby White Ruled Out Against Pacers

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This is a tough blow with the Bulls already missing Zach LaVine (back), Lonzo Ball (knee), and Alex Caruso (wrist) due to injury. That means, Ayo Dosunmu and Javonte Green are likely to play significant minutes on Friday. […]

Darius Garland Listed As Out On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (back) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This marks the third game in a row that Garland has missed due to back soreness. Obviously, the loss of Garland is a tough blow to a Cavs roster that has already been crushed by injuries. Brian Goodwin […]

Rudy Gay Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Utah Jazz forward Rudy Gay (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The Jazz are already without starting center Rudy Gobert (calf) and backup Hassan Whiteside (back) is listed as questionable. That means, Eric Paschall, Udoka Azubuike, and possibly Elijah Hughes would play bigger roles. Gay wasn't a great fantasy […]

Rudy Gobert Remains Out On Friday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The good new is, star guard Donovan Mitchell cleared concussion protocol and is available to play. Sadly, Gobert remains sidelined and his backup Hassan Whiteside (back) is listed as questionable. Udoka Azubuike is expected to draw another start […]

Zach LaVine Won't Be Available On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He played in six straight games, so it's not surprising that the Bulls are giving their banged up star a rest day. DeMar DeRozan should see increased usage without LaVine on the court. Also, Ayo Dosunmu and Javonte […]

Goga Bitadze Ruled Out On Friday

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He will miss his fourth game in a row here due to right foot soreness. Luckily, Oshae Brissett (ankle) is active for this game, but the Pacers remain extremely thin at center. Last game, Terry Taylor went off […]

Doug McDermott Removed From Injury Report

San Antonio Spurs forward Doug McDermott (ankle) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He has been dealing with a right ankle sprain, but is expected to play on Friday. His return should move Devin Vassell back to the second unit. Both players have been decent scoring options […]

Gordon Hayward Active For Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward is available for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He hasn't played since Jan. 21 but has been ramping up his conditioning. Hayward will make his return to the court and should play his normal role of around 30 minutes. Kelly Oubre Jr. is likely going to take the biggest […]

John Collins Exits Early On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (shoulder) was unfortunately not able to get through Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He exited during the fourth quarter with what appears to be a separated shoulder. This could be an issue that forces Collins to miss multiple games. The All-Star break is approaching, so maybe the Hawks take […]

De'Aaron Fox Won't Play Against Warriors

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Fox will miss his seventh game in a row due to left ankle soreness. It's uncertain if Fox will suit up again before the All-Star break. Tyrese Haliburton will continue to be a strong fantasy option while […]

Gary Payton II Not Listed On Injury Report

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (shin) has been removed from the injury report heading into Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He exited Tuesday's game due to a shin injury and wasn't able to return. However, it appears Payton is fine and will play on Thursday. He could have some deep league value, […]

Ivica Zubac Ruled Out Against Lakers

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. They will once again be without their starting center due to right calf soreness. Serge Ibaka is expected to move into the starting five for Thursday's contest. He finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds during […]

Moses Moody To Start On Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody will remain in the starting five for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He dropped a career-high 20 points during his last contest. However, that was a game where the Warriors decided to rest a majority of their starting unit. Moody will be joined by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, […]

LeBron James Won't Play Against Clippers

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It was highly unlikely that James was going to play in this game. His timetable remains unknown and there's a chance that James sits out until the All-Star break. In the meantime, Anthony Davis and Russell […]

C.J. Uzomah Misses Thursday's Practice

Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah (knee) didn't suit up for Thursday's practice. He suffered an MCL sprain during the AFC Championship game. Luckily, the Super Bowl is still 10 days away, so Uzomah has time to get ready for the big game. His status for the Super Bowl likely won't be known until next […]

Tyler Higbee Held Out Of Thursday's Practice

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) was held out of Thursday's practice. He suffered a sprained MCL during the NFC Championship game and hasn't practiced since then. To be fair, the Super Bowl is 10 days away, so Higbee has plenty of time to prepare and get back on the field. The Rams […]
