Born in 1988, I have followed the NBA ever since I can remember. Over the years, I have also developed a deep interest in soccer and the NHL. I have been writing about sports for nearly two decades, covering events from various angles. After multiple ventures, I landed on the RotoBaller roster in 2018. Since then, I have mainly focused on creating content related to fantasy sports and sports betting. In my native Estonia (it's a beautiful little country, look it up!), I also work as a sportscaster and have covered many of the world's most popular sports leagues, including the NBA, NHL, and Premier League. You can follow me on X at @MeieJames.

Kirill Marchenko Returns From Four-Game Absence

Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Kirill Marchenko (knee) has been cleared for action and will return from a four-game absence on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. He will return to the top six and work on the first power-play unit. After putting together a 12-game point streak, Marchenko has gone scoreless in each of […]


Carter Verhaeghe Ready to Return Thursday

Florida Panthers forward Carter Verhaeghe (personal) has rejoined the team and will play on Thursday against the Nashville Predators. He missed Tuesday's loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs due to the birth of his son. Verhaeghe is close to becoming the fourth Panther this season with 20-plus points. He has managed four goals and 12 […]


Scott Wedgewood Skips Thursday's Game

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Scott Wedgewood (back) will not dress for Thursday's tilt against the New York Islanders. The veteran netminder exited Tuesday's win over the Vancouver Canucks early due to a back issue, and while Wedgewood is not expected to miss much time, he will have the night off on Thursday. Wedgewood's emergence has been […]


Danila Yurov Misses Second Straight Game

Minnesota Wild center Danila Yurov (undisclosed) will miss a second consecutive game on Thursday against the Calgary Flames. The 21-year-old was filling in as the first-line center when he suffered an undisclosed injury. He has notched seven points (three goals, four assists) in 21 games during his rookie campaign, including five points (one goal, four […]


Andrei Vasilevskiy Unavailable Thursday

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy (undisclosed) won't play on Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Jonas Johansson will guard the crease, while Brandon Halverson has been called up from the minors to serve as the backup. Fortunately, Lightning head coach Jon Cooper said that Vasilevskiy isn't dealing with anything serious and is expected to […]


David Pastrnak Still Out Thursday

Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak (undisclosed) is not ready to return to action on Thursday against the St. Louis Blues. The Czechia star exited the lineup last week and will miss a fourth consecutive game. Pastrnak remains day-to-day. Following three successive 100-point campaigns, Pastrnak's scoring rate has dropped in 2025-26, and he likely won't […]


Lightning Sign Ryan McDonagh to Three-Year Extension

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed) signed a three-year, $12.3 million contract extension on Thursday. The veteran rearguard was set to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2026. McDonagh has made close to 400 appearances with the Lightning over two stints at the club, including 15 this season. He has missed […]


Karel Vejmelka Records Impressive Shutout

Utah Mammoth goaltender Karel Vejmelka finished Wednesday's 7-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks with a 27-save shutout. He became only the second goaltender in the league this season to shut out the Ducks, who average the third-most goals (3.48). Vejmelka, who registered his first shutout of the season, rebounded superbly after a rough outing against […]


JJ Peterka Rocks Ducks With Four-Point Effort

Utah Mammoth winger JJ Peterka led the demolition job in Wednesday's 7-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks, notching two goals and two assists. Peterka became the fourth Utah player with a four-point effort this season. Only the league-leading Colorado Avalanche (6) have more. After managing only six points in November, Peterka already has five points in […]


Cole Caufield Extends Point Streak With Power-Play Assist

Montreal Canadiens winger Cole Caufield posted a power-play assist in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout victory over the Winnipeg Jets. Caufield's work helped Juraj Slafkovsky score Montreal's first goal midway through the second period. With the assist, Caufield extended his point streak to nine games. Currently, it's the longest active scoring streak in the league. The entire […]


Matvei Michkov Delivers Two Assists Wednesday

Philadelphia Flyers winger Matvei Michkov had his second multi-point performance in three games on Wednesday, finishing a 5-2 home win against the Buffalo Sabres with a pair of assists. He recorded a power-play helper on a Travis Konecny goal in the first period and had an even-strength assist when Owen Tippett capped off the scoring […]


Jake Oettinger Grabs Fourth Consecutive Victory With Shutout

Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger logged a 30-save shutout in Wednesday's 3-0 road win against the New Jersey Devils. Dallas' No. 1 collected his second shutout of the season, improving to 12-4-2. On Wednesday, Oettinger recorded his 161st career win to surpass Ed Belfour for the third most in franchise history. Oettinger tends to have some […]


Ryan Leonard Tallies Four Points in Wednesday's Win

Washington Capitals right wing Ryan Leonard had the best game of his young career on Wednesday, posting two goals and two assists in a 7-1 road victory over the San Jose Sharks. Leonard became the first Capitals rookie to record a four-point game since legendary playmaker Nicklas Backstrom in 2008. The 20-year-old is riding a four-game […]


Cam York Exits Win Early

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Cam York (upper body) was injured during the second period of Wednesday's 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports. He sustained an upper-body injury late in the period during a scrum. York has been a regular in the Flyers lineup after missing the first three games of the […]


Jakob Poeltl to Sit Out Thursday's Game

Toronto Raptors center Jakob Poeltl (back) won't be in the lineup on Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Austrian giant has been managing a back problem all season, regularly skipping games when Toronto has a back-to-back scheduled. Fantasy managers can expect to see Poeltl return to the court on Friday against the Charlotte Hornets. […]


Alexandre Sarr to Miss Third Straight Game Thursday

Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (adductor) has been ruled out for a third consecutive game on Thursday against the Boston Celtics. The talented Frenchman is nursing a right adductor strain. Given the nature of muscle injuries, his return to action may take some time. In Sarr's absence, Marvin Bagley III has become a popular man […]


Jonathan Kuminga Iffy for Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) is on the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of an encounter with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Since returning from a knee issue, Kuminga has played in two games. Now, he may have to miss time due to a sore right ankle. Golden State is battling […]


Jimmy Butler III Listed as Questionable for Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (knee) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran star played only 15 minutes in Tuesday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder, exiting the action with a sore left knee. Gary Payton II started the second half in Butler's place, notching 13 […]


Paul George Questionable Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. Philadelphia begins a back-to-back on Thursday, and it appears certain that George will miss at least one of the games. Since his season debut, George has seen limited action and played only 18 minutes in Tuesday's win […]


Joel Embiid Unlikely to Play Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has been listed as doubtful for Thursday's clash against the Golden State Warriors, indicating that he is likely to miss a second consecutive game. Due to knee issues, the former MVP has taken the court just seven times this season, averaging 19.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.4 […]


Jaylen Brown Doubtful to Play Thursday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (illness) is considered doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. He will likely miss his first game of the season due to illness. A second absence might also be in store for Brown, as Boston has another game on Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Brown leads the […]


Rasmus Ristolainen to Miss at Least One More Week

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (triceps) will be sidelined for at least one more week. On Wednesday, the Finnish blue-liner practiced in a non-contact jersey for the first time since having surgery in late March to repair a ruptured right triceps tendon. Once he is ready to return, Ristolainen will likely slot into a top-four […]


Drew Doughty Logs Full Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty (lower body) could return to action on Thursday night against the Chicago Blackhawks. The veteran star has been working his way back from a lower-body injury and participated fully in Wednesday's practice. Kings head coach Jim Hiller said he is "hopeful" Doughty and forward Warren Foegele (upper body) can play on […]


Jeff Skinner Remains Sidelined Wednesday

San Jose Sharks left wing Jeff Skinner (lower body) will remain out on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals. The veteran has logged a couple of practice sessions this week, but the team doesn't want to rush him back. Skinner has been out of action since Nov. 13, missing nine games. He has tallied seven points […]


Petr Mrazek Out 2-3 Weeks

Anaheim Ducks goaltender Petr Mrazek (lower body) will miss 2-3 weeks. He was initially labeled as day-to-day after Mrazek suffered a lower-body injury on Sunday night against the Chicago Blackhawks. Lukas Dostal (upper body) will also be on the shelf for at least 1-2 more weeks, meaning Anaheim must lean on Ville Husso in the […]


Tyler Seguin Likely Done for the Season

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin has been diagnosed with a torn ACL in his right knee and is expected to miss the rest of the 2025-26 season. The 33-year-old veteran was injured in Tuesday's loss to the New York Rangers. Nathan Bastian replaced Seguin in the lineup on Wednesday against the New Jersey Devils. Seguin […]


Neal Pionk Returns to Jets Lineup

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Neal Pionk (lower body) will return from a four-game absence on Wednesday against the Montreal Canadiens. He will link up with Dylan Samberg on the second defensive pairing. This season, Pionk has not lived up to fantasy expectations. In 21 outings, he has been limited to five points (one goal, four assists). […]


Alexander Wennberg a Game-Time Call Wednesday

San Jose Sharks center Alexander Wennberg (upper body) has been labeled as a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Capitals, Max Miller of NHL.com reports. Wennberg centers the second line and the first power-play unit for the Sharks, averaging close to 21 minutes of ice time. He has posted 13 points (five goals, […]


Michael Callahan Sustains Lower-Body Injury Tuesday

Boston Bruins defenseman Michael Callahan (lower body) was limited to 2:51 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. He wasn't available after the first period due to a lower-body injury. Bruins head coach Sturm said postgame he didn't think Callahan "will be ready for the next few days." Boston will […]


Michael Rasmussen Makes Early Exit Tuesday

Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen (undisclosed) left Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Boston Bruins midway through the third period. Rasmussen only recently returned from an undisclosed injury, scoring in back-to-back games. Now, he could be set for another spell on the sidelines. In 24 appearances this season, Rasmussen has contributed four goals and four […]
