Kevin Love's First-Round DFS Preview

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love should enjoy this year's postseason a lot more than his previous three runs with the team.

LeBron James' First-Round DFS Preview

Cleveland Cavaliers small forward LeBron James will start his hunt for an eighth consecutive NBA Finals appearance against the Pacers, a team that he's eliminated many times before, including last year.

Drew Doughty Suspended For Game 2 Versus Knights

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty won't suit up for Friday's Game 2 of the first-round playoff series against the Vegas Golden Knights, as he has been suspended for one game for a high hit on William Carrier, which the league calls an "illegal check to the head."

Donovan Mitchell Shoots Poorly In Regular Season Finale

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell couldn't cap off his amazing rookie campaign with a bang, as his shot simply wasn't there Wednesday night against Portland.

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert had a nice final night of the regular season on Wednesday, as he grabbed his 31st double-double in a 102-93 loss to Portland with 13 points and 13 rebounds.

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum yet again couldn't reach 20 points in the team's regular season finale on Wednesday, finishing with 19 in a 102-93 win over Utah.

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Julius Randle took a back seat in Wednesday's 115-100 win over the Clippers, logging only 17 minutes.

William Carrier Wreaks Havoc With 10 Hits In Less Than Nine Minutes

Vegas Golden Knights left wing William Carrier made sure he left a mark in his first career playoff game on Wednesday against the Kings, but not necessarily on the game result, and more on the opponents. He was a wrecking ball throughout the tilt, recording 10 hits while logging just 8:49 of ice time. Carrier […]

Jonathan Quick Not Rewarded By Kings For Good Performance

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick had a great start to this year's playoff run, making 27 saves and allowing just one goal at Vegas on Wednesday, but he still ended up on the losing side, as the team failed to score. It wasn't an ideal start from Quick, as Shea Theodore put one past […]

Vegas Golden Knights goalie Marc-Andre Fleury said no to all 30 L.A. Kings shots Wednesday night in the team's first Stanley Cup playoff game, recording his 11th career playoff shutout.

Shea Theodore Scores Lone Goal In Vegas' First Playoff Win

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore provided the lone goal in the team's first ever playoff game and it was enough to get off to a winning start, as they beat the Kings 1-0. Theodore got his third career playoff goal with a nice wrister from the blue line early in the game when less […]

Tobias Rieder Starting Postseason On Jeff Carter's Hot Line

Los Angeles Kings winger Tobias Rieder could be a cheap DFS target on Wednesday, as he's set to start the first-round series against Vegas on the second line alongside Jeff Carter, who has been on a tear for a while. He scored six goals and collected 11 points from the final 10 regular season games. […]

Jonathan Quick The Key For Kings In Playoffs

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick has helped the team win two Stanley Cups, being named the MVP of the ride in 2012, but he disappointed last year in the playoffs, allowing over three goals per game with a .886 save percentage.

He's shooting […]
