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.

Jaylen Brown Struggles From the Field in Game 5

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown finished only 9-for-23 from the field as he tallied 22 points in Tuesday's 113-97 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Boston had a chance to close out the series on home court, but most of the team struggled to score. Brown's efforts included a 1-for-4 record from downtown and a 3-for-5 […]


Jayson Tatum Picks Up Another Double-Double

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum finished Tuesday's Game 5 loss against the Philadelphia 76ers with 24 points, 16 rebounds, four assists, and three steals. He led the Celtics in scoring and rebounding, recording his fourth double-double of the series. While this was another productive night for Tatum, his scoring efficiency was poor. The six-time All-Star […]


Tyrese Maxey Records Double-Double With Rebounds

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey produced a 25-point, 10-rebound double-double in Tuesday's must-win game against the Boston Celtics. Philadelphia faced elimination in Game 5 of the first-round series, but Maxey and Joel Embiid pulled the team out of a difficult spot. The duo scored 58 of the team's points, more than half, in a […]


Joel Embiid Tallies 33 Points as 76ers Stave Off Elimination

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid led all scorers with 33 points in Tuesday's 113-97 elimination-game win against the Boston Celtics. With their backs against the wall, the 76ers stayed alive thanks to a dominant fourth quarter, winning 28-11. Embiid had eight of his points in the final frame and finished 12-for-23 from the field. He […]


Victor Wembanyama Posts Second Straight Double-Double

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama recorded a second consecutive double-double in Tuesday's series-clinching 114-94 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. Wembanyama was offensively passive, taking only seven field-goal attempts, but he remained highly influential. In 34 minutes, he tallied 17 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, and six blocks. Wembanyama was perfect at the line […]


Connor McDavid Extends Multi-Point Streak Tuesday

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid (ankle) sent out two assists as the team beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-1 in an elimination game on Tuesday night. The Oilers stayed alive in the series thanks to a quick start. They were already 3-0 up midway through the first period, with McDavid helping to set up the third […]


Hurricanes Hope to Have Nikolaj Ehlers Back for Second Round

Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers (lower body) didn't practice on Tuesday, but head coach Rod Brind'Amour hopes to have him available for the start of the second round in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Carolina was without the services of Ehlers last weekend as it closed out the first-round series against Ottawa. The Danish forward […]


Alexander Nikishin Could Be Available in Round 2

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Alexander Nikishin (concussion) is making good progress, and the team hopes to have him available for Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Russian blue-liner suffered a concussion in Carolina's series-clinching win over Ottawa on Saturday. On Tuesday, Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour said "everything's trending in the right direction" on […]


Victor Hedman Logs Full Practice

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman (personal) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com reports. Due to illness and personal reasons, the Lightning captain hasn't seen any action for more than a month, but he appears to be nearing his return. Last week, Lightning head coach Jon Cooper mentioned Hedman was […]


Noah Ostlund Likely to Miss Time Due to Lower-Body Injury

Buffalo Sabres center Noah Ostlund (lower body) is doubtful for Game 6 against the Boston Bruins on Friday. In Tuesday's Game 5, he sustained a lower-body injury in a collision with Bruins forward Casey Mittelstadt. Speaking after the game about Ostlund's injury, Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff said, "It doesn't look good." Ostlund also missed […]


Arttu Hyry Unlikely to Play Thursday

Dallas Stars right wing Arttu Hyry (lower body) likely won't be available on Thursday for Game 6 against the Minnesota Wild, R.J. Coyle of The Dallas Morning News reports. The Finnish forward was limited to 3:34 of ice time due to a lower-body injury in Tuesday's Game 5. "He's gonna get looked at tomorrow, but […]


Jonas Brodin Spotted Using Crutches After Game 5

Minnesota Wild defenseman Jonas Brodin (lower body) could be out for some time after being spotted using crutches after Tuesday's Game 5 win over the Dallas Stars. The Swedish rearguard exited Tuesday's game with a lower-body injury after blocking a shot from Stars forward Mikko Rantanen in the second period. So far in the series, […]


Scottie Barnes Leading Raptors' Comeback Effort in Round 1

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Scottie Barnes has delivered back-to-back inspiring performances to help the team tie its first-round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers. After dropping the first two games, the Raptors had their backs against the wall in Games 3 and 4 -- and the situation brought the best out of Barnes. He averaged 28.0 points, […]


Tobias Harris a Bright Spot for Pistons in Tough Series

Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris is enjoying one of the best postseason campaigns of his career in 2026. Through four games in the first-round series against the Orlando Magic, the 33-year-old has averaged 19.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. His scoring is up nearly six points from his regular-season numbers. Only once, in 2021 […]


Jalen Duren Struggling in First-Round Matchup

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren has struggled to make an impact in the first-round series against the Orlando Magic. The first-year All-Star has been limited to 9.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. Compared to the regular season, his field-goal percentage has dropped from 65.0 to 46.9. After finishing 41 of his 70 regular-season appearances […]


Austin Reaves Officially Listed as Questionable for Game 5

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (oblique) remains questionable on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's Game 5 against the Houston Rockets. He has also been questionable for the last couple of games before being downgraded to out. On Wednesday, Reaves appears set to finally make his comeback from a left oblique strain after ESPN's […]


Kevin Durant Officially Out Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant (ankle) has been officially ruled out for Game 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night. Due to a left ankle injury, Durant has missed two games and didn't practice on Tuesday. He was seen running on an antigravity treadmill. Rockets head coach Ime Udoka has labeled Durant day-to-day, […]


Collin Gillespie Wants to Stick With Suns

Phoenix Suns guard Collin Gillespie hopes to agree to a contract extension with the team. Logan Stanley of the Arizona Republic reports. "I want to be here," Gillespie said after Phoenix's season-ending loss to Oklahoma City on Monday. "They know that. I'm sure we'll figure something out. Right now, just process this, reflect on the […]


Jonathan Isaac Expected to Remain Out Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) is listed as doubtful for Game 5 against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. The 28-year-old hasn't played since mid-March due to a left knee sprain and is likely to remain on the sidelines for Wednesday's closeout game. Jamal Cain has benefited from Isaac's absence and could see even more […]


Kevin Huerter Iffy for Wednesday Night

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Kevin Huerter (adductor) is considered questionable for Game 5 against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. Huerter injured his left hip in Game 3 and is now on the injury report with a left adductor strain. The 27-year-old shook off a questionable tag before Game 4 but played only three minutes. Overall, […]


Franz Wagner Considered Questionable for Game 5

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Detroit Pistons. He couldn't complete Monday's Game 4 and has been diagnosed with a right calf strain. Several players could benefit from Wagner's absence on Wednesday night. Tristan da Silva, Anthony Black, and Jamal Cain could all pick up […]


Austin Reaves on Track to Return Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (oblique) is "optimistic" about returning to action in Game 5 against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. He is nearing a return from an oblique strain and has been a game-time decision a couple of times in the series. Reaves hasn't played since April 2, so […]


Kevin Durant Unlikely to Play Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is unlikely to play in Wednesday's Game 5 against the Los Angeles Lakers. The veteran star didn't practice on Tuesday after sitting out two games due to a sprained left ankle and a bone bruise. "We'll see," Rockets head coach Ime Udoka said when asked whether Durant would play […]


Joel Embiid Cleared for Game 5

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (abdomen) will play in Game 5 against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. The team has upgraded his status from probable to available. After recovering from an appendectomy, Embiid was back in the lineup for Game 4 against the Celtics. He performed well, notching 26 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, one […]


Roope Hintz Likely to Miss Entire First-Round Series

Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (lower body) is not expected to return to action during the first-round series against the Minnesota Wild. Stars head coach Glen Gulutzan has ruled Hintz out for Tuesday's Game 5 and Thursday's Game 6. He is also considered unlikely to play in a potential Game 7. A lower-body injury knocked […]


Jason Zucker Good to Go for Game 5

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (undisclosed) will play in Game 5 against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports. He has been cleared for action after Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff labeled Zucker probable for the game on Monday. The veteran forward left Sunday's Game 4 early with an unspecified ailment. […]


Josh Norris Won't Play Tuesday

Buffalo Sabres center Josh Norris (undisclosed) won't be in action on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports. On Tuesday morning, Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff told reporters that Norris is available for selection, but he didn't take part in line rushes during the morning skate. He will sit out a third […]


Colton Dach Available Tuesday

Edmonton Oilers forward Colton Dach (illness) appears to be available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Anaheim Ducks. According to Tony Brar of Oilers TV, Dach participated in the morning skate after missing Game 4 of the series due to illness. The 23-year-old has seen fourth-line minutes against the Ducks, recording three SOG and 15 […]


Connor Ingram Returns to Oilers Net for Game 5

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Connor Ingram will be back in the crease for Tuesday's elimination game against the Anaheim Ducks, Jamie Umbach of the Oilers' official site reports. After seeing Ingram struggle in back-to-back contests, Edmonton decided to go with Tristan Jarry in Game 4. Jarry did a decent job with 34 saves in a 4-3 […]


Jason Dickinson Considered a Game-Time Decision for Tuesday's Action

Edmonton Oilers center Jason Dickinson (lower body) will once again be a game-time decision on Tuesday night against the Anaheim Ducks. The 30-year-old is banged up and has been labeled a game-time decision for most of the games in the first round. He returned to the lineup from a two-game absence in Game 4, contributing […]
