Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Wizards.

Anthony Davis Questionable For Play-In Matchup

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Warriors. The veteran has been a routine occupant on the league's injury report all season, so it's not surprising that he is listed for yet another ailment.

The 27-year-old is batting .265 this season, with 22 RBI, 20 runs, and four home runs. Fantasy managers should continue to keep him […]

Jake Odorizzi Starting Rehab On Monday

Houston Astros pitcher Jake Odorizzi (forearm) will start his rehab assignment at Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.

Fantasy managers who don't have space can safely […]
