Max Fried Tosses Gem Versus Phillies

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried had little issues against the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday. He went seven innings, four hits allowed, one earned run, and six strikeouts in the 7-2 victory. His excellent outing helped the Braves basically secure first place in the NL East. He'll finish the season 14-7 with a 3.07 ERA […]

Tyrese Maxey Operating With First Unit

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey was seen operating with the first unit in practice. This is too surprising considering Ben Simmons refuses to show up to camp or play for the Sixers again. It looks like head coach Doc Rivers is considering using Maxey as the starting point guard. Shake Milton should be in the […]

Coby White Gaining Strength In His Shoulder

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (shoulder) has been working on gaining strength in his surgically repaired shoulder. White will miss the beginning of the regular season while rehabbing. The hope is that White will be back on the court by mid-November. White put together a strong campaign in 2020. However, his value is going to […]

Markelle Fultz Won't Be Ready For Opener

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) will not be ready for the regular season opener versus the San Antonio Spurs. It doesn't sound like he suffered a setback, but the organization wants to be cautious with their young guard. Fultz had surgery nearly 11 months ago, so it's a bit odd that he's not ready […]

Zion Williamson Doing 1-On-1 Work

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) was seen doing 1-on-1 work during Tuesday's practice. The organization revealed on Monday that Williamson underwent surgery to repair a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot. The Pelicans are hopeful that Williamson will be ready for the beginning of the season. It sounds like Williamson […]

Al Horford Could Run The Offense At Times

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford is expected to run the offense at times, according to head coach Ime Udoka. The veteran big man only played in 28 games for the rebuilding Thunder last season. However, he was productive whenever he was on the court. The Celtics believe Horford can play a sizable role for their […]

Spurs Open To Trading Thaddeus Young

San Antonio Spurs forward Thaddeus Young is reportedly drawing interest from a few contenders. The Spurs are rebuilding and have no real need for a veteran player like Young. He could certainly be an asset to multiple contenders as a bench option. However, it's unlikely he holds fantasy value in most formats wherever he lands. […]

Jorge Soler Knocks In Two Runs

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jorge Soler has looked like a completely different player at the plate since the trade from Kansas City. On Tuesday, he went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in the 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. This was an important game for both teams. Luckily, starter Charlie Morton was in ace […]

Andy Ibanez Stays Hot At The Plate

Texas Rangers infielder Andy Ibanez has quietly put together a nice campaign during the second half of the season. On Tuesday, he went 3-for-4 with a triple and two RBI in the 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Ibanez was on a hot streak before injuring his hamstring last month. However, it appears he […]

Joe Barlow Locks Down 10th Save

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow has been surprisingly solid in a late-inning role. On Tuesday, Barlow protected a three-run lead and helped his team get the 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels. The 26-year-old has now converted 10 of 11 save chances with the Rangers this season. It's unknown what the team plans […]

A.J. Alexy Limits The Damage On Tuesday

Texas Rangers starting pitcher A.J. Alexy was rocked during each of his last two starts, but looked much better versus the Los Angeles Angels. On Tuesday, he went five innings, three hits allowed, two earned runs, two walks, and two strikeouts in the 5-2 win. He was solid through five frames and his only mistake […]

DeMar DeRozan Could Move To Power Forward

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan might be asked to move over to the power forward spot to begin the season, according to head coach Billy Donovan. Young forward Patrick Williams (ankle) is expected to miss an extended period of time. The Bulls have a void to fill and moving DeRozan to power forward could make […]

Donte DiVincenzo Not Cleared For 5-On-5 Drills

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte DiVincenzo (ankle) is improving, but has not been cleared for 5-on-5 practice yet. The organization is beginning training camp without him, but the Bucks aren't going to rush back DiVincenzo. Pat Connaughton will be asked to fill the void until DiVincenzo is healthy enough to return. It sounds like DiVincenzo could […]

Serge Ibaka Is Closer To A Return

Los Angeles Clippers center Serge Ibaka (back) mentioned that he is close to 100 percent healthy, but remains without a timetable. He underwent back surgery in June, which was an issue that cost him quite a lot of time last season. It's uncertain if the veteran big man will be ready for the start of […]

Jusuf Nurkic To Be More Involved

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic is coming off a horrible 2020 campaign where he only played 37 games. He saw a major regression in numbers, but things are looking up for the big man. Enes Kanter took away quite a bit of his value, but Nurkic should be able to see around 30 minutes […]

Anthony Edwards Wants To Improve Defensively

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards put together a solid second half of the season in 2020. His rookie campaign started slow, but he showed promising signs of being a cornerstone piece of this organization. Edwards recently mentioned that his goal for this season was to average two or three steals per game. That is quite […]

Michael Porter Jr. Gets Massive Extension

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. reportedly has agreed to a five-year deal worth $207 million with the organization. However, the $207 million is the maximum he can make, assuming he makes one of the three All-NBA teams this season. At the lowest point, Porter would make $172 million, which is still quite a lot. […]

Caris LeVert Could Miss Start Of The Season

Indiana Pacers guard Caris LeVert (back) is in danger of missing the start of the regular season. He has a stress fracture in his back, but the hope is that it's only a minor setback. The organization plans to do more testing, so they'll have a better timetable in the future. LeVert is coming off […]

Kevin Huerter Almost Back To 100 Percent

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) said on Monday that he is nearly 95 percent healed from his offseason surgery. He underwent a surgical procedure on his ankle shortly after the season ended. The Hawks are likely going to have Huerter limited when they open up training camp on Tuesday. De'Andre Hunter (knee) is still […]

Clint Capela Limited To Begin Training Camp

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela (Achilles) had a platelet-rich plasma injection in his Achilles and will be limited to begin training camp. He played through an Achilles injury last season, so the team wants to be cautious. Onyeka Okongwu (shoulder) is out until at least December, so the Hawks could be without two of their […]

Jaxson Hayes Wants To Shoot More

New Orleans Pelicans center Jaxson Hayes is mainly known for his defensive ability on the court. Although, on Monday the coaching staff spoke to Hayes about attempting more shots from beyond the arc. Hayes has attempted a total of 18 (making seven) 3-pointers in his first two NBA seasons. Fantasy managers could see a slight […]

Kevin Love Never Discussed Buyout

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love mentioned on Monday that he never discussed a buyout with the organization. He denies the reports in August and mentioned he wants to be a positive force for this young team. Evan Mobley and Lauri Markkanen are expected to be the future big men in Cleveland, so Love's fantasy value […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Will Be Starting Point Guard

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. confirmed that he is going to be the starting point guard heading into the season. It's assumed the second overall pick Jalen Green will play alongside Porter as the starting shooting guard. Porter mentioned that his goal is to average 10 assists this season. He averaged 8.0 dimes per […]

Jalen Green At Full Strength For Training Camp

Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green (hamstring) is back at full strength as the organization prepares to begin training camp. The second overall pick was shut down during the Summer League due to a hamstring issue. The Rockets didn't believe it was a serious issue, but obviously are going to play it safe with their young […]

Robert Williams III Adds Muscle Over The Offseason

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III made it a priority to add muscle over the offseason. He wants to prove that he is worth the four-year $54 million extension he received. It appears his health is in good shape and the added muscle is a positive. The Celtics committed significant money into Williams, so he's […]

Elijah Moore Exits Early In Week 3 Loss

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore (concussion) was expected to be heavily involved in the passing game against the Denver Broncos in Week 3. He hauled in three receptions on six targets for 22 yards before exiting the game due to a concussion. This is a week-to-week type of injury. There is a decent […]

Corey Davis Targeted 10 Times

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis is one of the few players producing decent fantasy value for this team right now. Davis posted a dud in Week 2, but bounced back against the Denver Broncos. He hauled in five of his 10 targets for 41 yards in the shutout loss. It was a better […]

Ty Johnson Barely Involved In Loss To Denver

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson was expected to have a bigger workload with Tevin Coleman (illness) ruled out for Week 3. That being said, Johnson and rookie Michael Carter were asked to lead this backfield. Well, it's the Jets, so things weren't disastrously bad for them. Johnson rushed three times for 17 yards […]

Michael Carter Disappointing In First Career Start

New York Jets running back Michael Carter received his first career NFL start against the Denver Broncos in Week 3. The promising rookie back was unable to find much room to run in this one. He rushed nine times for 24 yards in what ended up being a shutout loss for the Jets. Both quarterback […]
