Trae Young is Questionable Versus Knicks

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. He was not able to play during Friday's game due to a bruised right ankle. Jeff Teague and Brian Goodwin saw more minutes without Young available, so that'll likely happen again if Young is unable to play. […]

Tyler Herro is Listed as Out for Sunday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) is downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He'll miss his third game in a row due to right ankle soreness, but his fantasy value wasn't great before the injury. Andre Iguodala and Jae Crowder should see more minutes in the rotation with Herro and […]

Jimmy Butler Won't Play Against Blazers

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He didn't play on Friday and was unable to practice on Saturday. Butler will miss his second game in a row here due to a right shoulder strain. The MRI didn't reveal any structural damage, so hopefully […]

Nassir Little Will Miss Third Straight Game

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassier Little (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. This marks the third game in a row that Little has missed due to a left ankle sprain. Trevor Ariza and Gary Trent Jr. will be asked to pick up the slack with Little sidelined. Trent is […]

Anfernee Simons is Unlikely to Play on Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (head) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. He left Friday's game due to a concussion, and he needs to pass the NBA's concussion protocol before being allowed to play. It's highly unlikely that it happens before tip-off, so fantasy owners should expect Simons to […]

Hassan Whiteside is Probable for Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (leg) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. He sat out of Friday's game due to a left leg contusion, but it appears he's going to play here. Caleb Swanigan should head back to the second unit and lose most of his streaming appeal going […]

Jaylen Brown is Likely to Play on Sunday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Although, the Celtics injury report has Brown closer to probable than questionable for this one. The team is likely going to wait and see how he feels closer to tip-off. The Celtics have used a committee approach […]

Alec Burks, Glenn Robinson III Listed as Out for Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Alec Burks and forward Glenn Robinson III are listed as out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Both players still have yet to complete their physicals required to complete the trade. There's a chance they get them finished before tip-off, but both players will take significant hits in fantasy value with […]

Al Horford is Questionable Versus Chicago

Philadelphia 76ers forward Al Horford (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Horford is dealing with left Achilles soreness, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Sixers give him the day off. Joel Embiid (neck) is listed as questionable, but is expected to suit up here. Kyle O'Quinn (personal) […]

Patrick Beverley is Out on Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He aggravated his groin on Wednesday and hasn't been able to suit up since then. Landry Shamet and Lou Williams should benefit the most with Beverley sidelined. Shamet has been playing well lately and should remain a […]

Kawhi Leonard Will Rest Against Cavs

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is not surprising news as Leonard played 28 minutes during Saturday's blowout loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Marcus Morris is expected to make his team debut and should see plenty of minutes without Leonard available. DFS […]

Marvin Bagley is Out Until After All-Star Break

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) has been ruled out until at least after the All-Star break. He'll be re-evaluated after the break, but it's unclear if he'll be able to play again this season. He's dealing with left foot soreness and the Kings are going to take the cautious approach. They won't let Bagley […]

Joel Embiid Will Play Against Bulls

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (neck) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was listed as questionable with neck stiffness, but it appears he's going to play here. It doesn't sound like he's going to be limited at all for this one. He could get more looks with Al Horford (Achilles) […]

Jordan Clarkson (PG/SG, UTA): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 32% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you read our Waiver Wire blurbs weekly then you know I wrote about Malik Monk last weekend.

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 26% of leagues ANALYSIS: When it comes to recently traded players it's always hard to assess the value they will have in their new surroundings.

Sidney Crosby Scores 10th Goal In Victory

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby found the back of the net to score the game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-2 victory against the Panthers. The 32-year-old gave the Penguins a two-goal advantage with a deflection on the power play as Jared McCann's shot was tipped in by the two-time Hart Memorial Trophy winner, while Kris Letang […]

Marquese Chriss (PF/C, GS): Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: Talk about an impactful trade! The Warriors flipped D'Angelo Russell for Andrew Wiggins and the winner was... Marquese Chriss!? Well, not directly, but at least in his last game he definitely showed what he's capable of by dropping 26 points on the Lakers […]

K-BB% is a valuable metric because it shows which pitchers can combine strikeout ability with pinpoint control. Pitchers with high K-BB% possess high floors and ceilings because even when they’re not accumulating strikeouts, they are still usually able to pound the strike zone. The list below shows pitchers with the highest drop-off in this rate […]
