Luis Gil Secures Rotation Spot

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Gil has earned himself a spot in the starting rotation. The right-hander has been named the team's fifth starter on Sunday. This spring, Gil has posted a 2.87 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and 23/6 K/BB ratio across 15 2/3 innings (three starts). The loss of Gerrit Cole (elbow) gave Gil […]

LeBron James Might Miss Sunday's Game

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The superstar forward has been dealing with an ankle issue for what seems like months now. However, James normally plays through the issue, but fantasy managers should check back for another update ahead of tip-off. His […]

Anfernee Simons To Undergo MRI

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) is scheduled to undergo an MRI this weekend, according to head coach Chauncey Billups. This news comes after Simons was forced to exit early during Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He'll sit out of Saturday's contest versus the Denver Nuggets. The assumption is that Simons will […]

Matisse Thybulle Sitting Out On Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This was expected as Thybulle has already missed multiple games due to an ankle issue. The Blazers are banged up right now, so Kris Murray will likely start in place of Thybulle on Saturday. Last game, […]

Jerami Grant Downgraded To Out

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has been downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This isn't shocking as Grant has already missed multiple games due to this hamstring issue. Given the Blazers place in the standings, it's unlikely that they will rush Grant back on the court. Toumani Camara […]

Deandre Ayton Remains Out On Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The big man continues to miss time due to a left elbow issue. The assumption is that Duop Reath will move into the starting five on Saturday. He finished with 13 points, three rebounds, and two […]

Matisse Thybulle Unavailable On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This doesn't come as much of a surprise given the Blazers place in the standings. They will likely continue to rest their players at anything less than 100 percent. Kris Murray will move into the […]

Jerami Grant Won't Play Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Grant continues to miss time due to a lingering hamstring issue. At this point, the Blazers don't have much incentive to play anyone at less than 100 percent health. In his absence, Toumani Camara will […]

Deandre Ayton Unavailable For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The oft-injured big man will sit this one out as he continues to recover from left elbow tendinitis. His absence should mean that Duop Reath will move into the starting unit. As a starter, Reath […]

Zach Collins To Play On Friday

San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins (concussion) has been cleared to play ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Collins will make his return to the court after a one-game absence due to a concussion. His return will likely push Dominick Barlow out of the rotation. Collins will fill out the backup center minutes […]

Anthony Edwards Will Play Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (finger) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is good news for the T-Wolves as Edwards was uncertain coming into this game due to a dislocated finger. The expectation is that Edwards is going to play his normal role in the rotation. Fantasy managers can feel […]

Caleb Martin Cleared On Friday

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) has been cleared to play ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was a late addition to the injury report but appears to be fine now. Martin has been playing over 30 minutes per game with the Heat shorthanded right now. The expectation is that trend […]

Rudy Gobert Upgraded To Available

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) has been upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The big man is back in action after going through his pregame routine without any issues. Fellow big man Naz Reid (head) has also been cleared to play in this game. That being said, both players […]

Lars Nootbaar Won't Be Ready For Opening Day

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbaar (ribs) is going to open the regular season on the injured list. This was expected, but Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol confirmed the news on Friday. The left-handed slugger continues working his way back from fractures in his ribcage. At the moment, it looks like Alec Burleson is the favorite […]

Sonny Gray To Open Season On Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Sonny Gray (hamstring) won't be ready in time for Opening Day. Cards manager Oliver Marmol confirmed on Friday that Gray will open the season on the injured list. The plan is for Gray to take the mound on Saturday in a spring contest. After that, Gray will make a pair […]

Justin Steele Exits Early On Friday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Justin Steele (leg) was forced to exit early during Friday's Cactus League matchup against the San Francisco Giants. The left-hander was lifted after being struck by a ball on the lower left leg. He remained on the ground while grabbing his knee until eventually exiting the contest. This is not good […]

Dylan Crews Reassigned To Minors Camp

Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews has been sent to minor league camp on Friday. This was expected as the 22-year-old still has work to do in the minors. Crews was selected second overall by the Nats during the 2023 MLB Draft. He struggled this spring, hitting .161 with one home run and five RBI in […]

James Wood Optioned To Minors

Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood has been reassigned to minor league camp on Friday. He'll be joined by fellow top prospects Dylan Crews and Robert Hassell III as the Nats continue to shrink their roster. There was a low chance that Wood was going to make the team as he's only played as high as […]

Luis Gil Strikes Out Five Batters

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Gil looked fairly strong on the mound versus the New York Mets on Friday. The right-hander allowed two earned runs while striking out five batters over four innings of work. The strikeout numbers are good for Gil who has four punchouts or more in three straight appearances. The 25-year-old […]

Zeke Nnaji Won't Play Thursday

Denver Nuggets center Zeke Nnaji (back) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to lower back pain. The absence of Nnaji should open up additional minutes behind starting center Nikola Jokic. Head coach Mike Malone mentioned that […]

Brandon Ingram Exits Early During Thursday's Game

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. The star forward suffered a left knee injury during the third quarter of this game. He was putting minimal pressure on his knee and was helped to the locker room. This is concerning, but fantasy managers […]

Gary Harris Won't Return On Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Harris was forced to exit early during this contest due to right foot soreness. The Magic will start Caleb Houstan in his place during the second half of this contest. Fantasy managers should also […]

Cameron Johnson Starting On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson will draw the starting nod versus the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. The Nets are still without Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), which means Johnson gets another start. Johnson has played fairly well over the last few games. He has scored in double digits in four straight games. He's worth a look as […]

Torrey Craig Will Remain In Starting Five

Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig will remain in the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. The assumption was that Craig would head to the bench with Coby White (hip) available for this game. Instead, Craig will remain in the starting unit while White comes off the bench. The veteran forward offers […]

Naz Reid Listed As Questionable For Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (head) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The big man is in danger of missing another game after suffering a head injury during Monday's game. The Wolves could be thin at the center spot with Rudy Gobert (rib) also listed as questionable for Thursday. […]

Rudy Gobert Could Miss Friday's Game

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The big man has already missed multiple games, but he was able to participate during Thursday's shootaround. The Wolves could be thin at the center spot with Karl Anthony-Towns (knee) ruled out and Naz Reid (head) considered […]

Anthony Edwards Considered As Questionable For Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (finger) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Edwards has been able to play despite suffering an injury during Monday's game. The expectation is that Edwards will continue to play through the issue unless it gets worse ahead of tip-off. If he sits out, Nickeil […]

Sasha Vezenkov Won't Play On Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward Sasha Vezenkov (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Despite practicing this week, Vezenkov isn't quite ready to get back on the court. The Kings are shorthanded already, which has forced Kessler Edwards into the starting five. Edwards will start on Thursday, but Keon Ellis playing […]

Kessler Edwards Gets Starting Nod

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Kessler Edwards will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Head coach Mike Brown has decided to shake up his lineup and have Edwards start with Keon Ellis heading to the second unit. Edwards has been extremely quiet this season and isn't worth looking at as […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Returns On Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) has been cleared to play ahead of Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The superstar forward will make his return to the court after missing each of the last two games due to a hamstring injury. He should slide back into the starting five and have his normal role […]
