They made an obligation […]

Cameron Payne Questionable On Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (back) is questionable ahead of the Game 3 playoff encounter with the Los Angeles Clippers. The 28-year-old hasn't played in the postseason thus far because of lower back soreness, allowing Landry Shamet to receive more minutes. However, Payne or Shamet aren't ideal DFS options one way or the other, especially […]

Jalen McDaniels Uncertain For Game 3

Philadelphia 76ers forward Jalen McDaniels (illness) is questionable ahead of the postseason meeting in Brooklyn. The 25-year-old has averaged only 2.5 points in 19.5 minutes per game in the series with the Nets. However, he's dealing with a non-COVID illness, so he may not be out there. If that's the case, Georges Niang and Danuel […]

Mike Brown Wins Coach Of The Year

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) has been ruled out ahead of the Game 2 postseason meeting with the Heat.

Ja Morant Not Looking Good For Game 2

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, there's "significant doubt" that Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hand) will be available for the postseason meeting with the Lakers on Wednesday. The 23-year-old injured his hand after the Game 1 loss to LA. While X-rays were clean, he couldn't use his hand after the contest. That said, the Grizzlies […]

Nicolas Claxton Fails To Score In Game 2

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton wasn't a factor in the Game 2 postseason loss to Philly. He failed to register a single point in this one and had just six rebounds and two assists.

Mikal Bridges Struggles On Monday Evening

Brooklyn Nets forward Mikal Bridges struggled in Monday's loss to the 76ers. Philly had his number all night, limiting him to 6-for-15 shooting from the field and 2-for-8 shooting from deep. Fortunately, he went 7-for-9 from the charity stripe and added seven assists, five rebounds, and a steal, so DFS managers still got something from […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Wins Defensive Player Of The Year

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. was named the 2022-23 NBA Defensive Player of the Year on Monday night. Jackson, who received 56 first-place votes, had an efficient year despite beginning it on the injured list.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hand) suffered a broken right hand in the Game 1 matchup against Milwaukee.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Returns And Exits Again

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) returned to Sunday's Game 1 matchup with the Heat. The multi-time MVP took a rough fall in the first while going up for a basket and landed hard. However, the 28-year-old didn't last long, exiting again in the second quarter with a lower back injury. There should be an […]

Klay Thompson Expects Max Extension This Summer

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson expects a max contract extension this summer. The 33-year-old averaged 21.9 points and shot 41.2% from deep this season (69 games), so he's certainly worth it from a production standpoint. However, he's battled injuries over the years and has missed more than enough time […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Exits Game 1 With Injury

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (undisclosed) exited Sunday's Game 1 meeting against Miami. The Freak took a hard fall in the first quarter while going for a basket and came down hard.

X-Rays Negative On Ja Morant

According to Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins, X-rays were negative on Ja Morant (hand). The 23-year-old was injured in the fourth quarter of the Game 1 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (shoulder) finished with 22 points, 12 boards, seven blocks, and three steals in the 128-112 postseason win over the Grizzlies.

Paul George Expected To Miss Clippers-Suns Series

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (knee) won't play in the postseason series against the Suns. The veteran suffered a knee injury on March 21 and hasn't been available since. Fortunately, he is progressing in the right direction. However, it's unlikely the Clippers will advance deeper into the postseason without […]

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (wrist) finished the Game 1 postseason meeting with the Lakers by scoring 18 points.

Zack Kelly Moved To 60-Day Injured List

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Zack Kelly (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Sunday. The 28-year-old had been on the 15-day IL after exiting Wednesday's meeting with the Tampa Bay Rays because of right elbow inflammation. But he'll now need to see a specialist, which is never an encouraging sign. Kelly had […]

Ryan Tepera Placed On The 15-Day IL

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Ryan Tepera landed on the 15-day injured list on Sunday. The right-hander exited Saturday's matchup with the Red Sox and will now go on the shelf because of shoulder inflammation. Tepera has struggled this season, sporting a 1-1 record with two holds. He also has a miserable 11.25 ERA in […]

He also homered, smashing a 401-foot shot to right field for his third of the […]

Alec Burleson Day-To-Day

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Alec Burleson (shin) exited Sunday's meeting with the Pirates. He suffered a contusion after fouling a ball off his right shin, so hopefully, this won't turn into a trip to the injured list. The 24-year-old has gone 12-for-41 this season with four doubles, four RBI, and a home run. Although he's […]

Gerrit Cole Strikes Out 10 On Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole was dominant on Saturday in the win over the Twins. The righty threw a complete game.

Will Smith Out Again On Sunday

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith (illness) will remain out of the lineup on Sunday against the Cubs.

Brandon Nimmo Nails Go-Ahead Double Versus Oakland

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo led his team to a 3-2 win over Oakland on Saturday. The 30-year-old went 2-for-4.

The Mets have now won three-straight games, with Nimmo one of the players […]

Pete Alonso Adds Another Home Run On Saturday

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso had another productive outing in Saturday's 3-2 win over the A's. The slugger went 1-for-4 with an RBI, which was made up of a 421-foot shot to left in the fourth inning. He now has eight dingers in 2023, tying him with Rafael Devers for the most in […]

Francisco Lindor Cools Off On Saturday

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor cooled off in Saturday's win over the Athletics. The 29-year-old had seven RBI and a homer in the 17-6 rout over Oakland on Friday. However, he wasn't as productive in this one, going 1-for-4. Lindor is putting up All-Star numbers this season, and he's currently tied for fourth in […]
