Strawweight Montserrat Ruiz decisively defeated Cheyanne Buys at UFC Fight Night. Conejo displayed her superior wrestling skills, taking down her opponent four times throughout the bout while amassing nearly 10 minutes of control time.

Adrian Yanez Finishes Opponent At Fight Night

Macy Chiasson Takes Care Of Business On Saturday

Bantamweight Macy Chiasson earned herself a win over No. 9 ranked opponent, Marion Reneau, during the UFC Fight Night Prelims. Chiasson had a considerable reach advantage and it showed, landing 92 of her 184 strike attempts. Reneau wasn't able to handle her opponent's proficiency in the vertical game, which ultimately led to the judges awarding […]

Grant Dawson Gets The Win At The Buzzer

Lightweight Grant Dawson defeated Leonardo Santos on Saturday during the prelims of UFC Fight Night. Both combatants landed nearly an equal amount of strikes, but Dawson had the edge in control time (8:18) and submission attempts, although he went just 1-for-13 in that area. Though it looked like this bout was going to go to […]

Roman Dolidze Suffers Questionable Loss

As March Madness rolls on with all the hoops you can handle, the professionals continue to push toward the postseason.

LeBron James Has MRI

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) had an MRI performed on Saturday. The results are still pending. The veteran injured his right ankle during the matinee matchup against the Atlanta Hawks and did not return. This is not good news, especially since James has been riding the league's official injury report for weeks while […]

Giants Sign Kenny Golladay

The Giants and former Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay have agreed to a four-year, $72 million deal. The contract, which includes $40 million in guaranteed cash, automatically puts New York in the postseason conversation in the NFC East, a division that could be on the upswing. The 27-year-old appeared in just five contests during the […]

James Wiseman Remains Out On Saturday

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman will remain out on Saturday against the Grizzlies. The rookie has missed his last few games while adhering to health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. With Wiseman out of the mix for the next few games, the team should continue to run small, with Kevon Looney probably getting the […]

Al Horford To Rest On Tuesday Evening

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Al Horford (rest) will not play on Tuesday evening against the Chicago Bulls. After the team played a back-to-back over the weekend, it appears as if the veteran will get another day off for some r&r. With Luguentz Dort (shoulder) also potentially out, look for Moses Brown and Aleksej Pokusevski to […]

Tyler Herro Probable Against The Cavs

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (shoulder) is likely to play against Cleveland on Tuesday night. The 21-year-old has been dealing with a right shoulder sprain as of late but has still managed to suit up, recently scoring 22 points throughout 29 minutes of work against the Magic on Sunday. However, with Bam Adebayo (knee) likely […]

Marvin Bagley III Fractures Left Hand Against Charlotte

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III (hand) was injured during Monday's matchup against Charlotte.

With Bagley out of the mix, the team may continue to rely on Richaun Holmes, with Nemanja […]

Bam Adebayo Likely Back On Tuesday Night

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (knee) is likely to return on Tuesday against Cleveland. The 23-year-old has been out of the mix while battling tendinitis in his left knee, an injury that has kept him off the floor throughout the team's previous four contests. With Adebayo's potential return against the Cavaliers, Kelly Olynyk and KZ […]

Taurean Prince Out On Tuesday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Taurean Prince (shoulder) won't play against Miami. The veteran hasn't been suiting up regularly as of late, so his absence against the Heat shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. With Prince out of the equation on Tuesday, along with Andre Drummond (personal) and likely Kevin Love (calf), look for Larry Nance Jr. […]

Kevin Love Unlikely To Suit Up Against Miami

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (calf) is doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against the Heat. The veteran has been dealing with a right calf issue for most of the year, and after returning on Friday after an extended layoff, he will likely find himself sitting once again. With Taurean Prince (shoulder) and Andre Drummond (personal) also […]

Ben McLemore Questionable On Tuesday

Houston Rockets guard Ben McLemore (ankle) is questionable ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Hawks. The veteran has been dealing with a sprain in his left ankle, an injury that puts his availability in jeopardy against Atlanta.

Marc Gasol Won’t Play Against Indiana

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol won't play on Friday against Indiana. The veteran has been in quarantine since the beginning of the month while adhering to the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, meaning that Montrezl Harrell should continue to benefit from a fantasy standpoint on Friday against the Pacers.

Spurs Still Looking To Deal LaMarcus Aldridge

San Antonio Spurs forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (personal) will not play on Friday night against Orlando, as expected. Head coach Gregg Popovich stated that the team has mutually agreed to part ways with the veteran, with the hope that a deal can be made to move him before the March 25 trade deadline. With a buyout […]

LeBron James Likely To Play On Friday Evening

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is probable for Friday's outing against the Pacers. James wasn't in the lineup in the final game before the break but managed to log 13 minutes during the All-Star game on Sunday. The former MVP continues to play despite dealing with the ailment for weeks, so fantasy managers […]

Darius Garland Questionable On Friday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (groin) is questionable for Friday's contest against New Orleans. The 21-year-old injured his left groin before the All-Star break, an ailment that may put his status in jeopardy beyond the matchup against the Pelicans. If Garland isn't able to go, look for Collin Sexton to gain additional fantasy appeal, with […]

Eric Gordon Available Against Sacramento

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) will play on Thursday against Sacramento. The veteran has been battling soreness in his left knee, but he is good to go after riding a questionable tag throughout the day. John Wall (knee) won't play, making it likely that Gordon will begin the game on the floor, with the […]

John Wall Won’t Play On Thursday Night

Houston Rockets guard John Wall (knee) won't play on Thursday night against Sacramento. The veteran suffered a contusion during Wednesday's practice, and with the team playing again on Friday night, he could work his way back into the lineup against the Utah Jazz.
