Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said on Thursday that the team has no update on when forwards Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) or Justise Winslow (hip) will return to the team. Not having a set date for the return of the pair isn't great for fantasy managers, but a return for Jackson in the near […]

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson scored 31 points on 11-for-21 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Dallas Mavericks. He was 4-for-11 from three and added seven rebounds.

Travis Kelce A Strong DFS Play In AFC Title Game
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is significantly more expensive in DFS than the other tight ends on Sunday's slate, but with the Buffalo Bills allowing the eighth-most fantasy points in the regular season to the position, it makes sense to pay up for Kelce. That's not even factoring in his regular-season game against […]
