Evan Fournier is Questionable for Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. It sounds like Fournier suffered a quad injury during shootaround on Wednesday. That's not a good sign, but we'll see how Fournier is feeling closer to tip-off. The Magic are banged up right now, so Markelle Fultz […]

Anthony Davis is Ruled Out for Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (tailbone) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Davis is moving in the right direction, but he's not feeling well enough to suit up here. There's a chance that Davis is back for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. Kyle Kuzma will see increased playing […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic is Ruled Out Wednesday

Sacramento Kings forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. This marks the sixth game in a row that Bogdanovic has been sidelined due to an ankle issue. He's been making progress, so the Kings are hopeful Bogdanovic can return for Saturday's game. Trevor Ariza will continue to […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. is Out for Thursday

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (concussion) is listed as out for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. He's currently in concussion protocol, so Oubre could be looking at missing multiple games. Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, and Dario Saric should all see increased playing time while Oubre is sidelined. Bridges is the best fantasy […]

Ricky Rubio Will Rejoin Team on Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (personal) will rejoin the team for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks. He didn't travel with the team for their last game due to the birth of his child. Rubio will be back in action on Thursday, so Elie Okobo will head back to the bench and lose most […]

Alex Noren Set To Make American Express Debut

Alex Noren is in the field for The American Express. It will be Noren's first-ever start in the California event. The Swede had an abysmal 2018-19 season by his standards, but has been slowly finding his form over the last few months and has posted multiple top-25 finishes this fall. He recorded a T32 at […]

Frank Ntilikina Might Play Versus Suns

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game and didn't suit up for that one. It seems like Ntilikina is getting closer to returning, but fantasy owners will have to wait and see. Elfrid Payton would lose […]

Marcus Morris Might Play Thursday

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris (neck) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He's missed each of the last five games, so having him listed as questionable is a good sign right now. Reggie Bullock (neck) and Kevin Knox will continue to see increased playing time until Morris is back. […]

Damion Lee Will Start on Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Damion Lee will be in the starting five for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Lee is officially under contract and back with the team after missing the last two games. Alec Burks will head to the second unit and lose some value with Lee returning. Lee is worth using in […]

Marlins Acquire Stephen Tarpley

The Miami Marlins and New York Yankees completed a trade on Wednesday, sending pitcher Stephen Tarpley to Miami in exchange for third baseman James Nelson and cash. In a corresponding move, pitcher Brian Moran was designated for assignment by the Marlins. Tarpley had a 5.88 ERA and issued 21 walks in just 33 2/3 innings […]

Marquese Chriss Could Return Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Marquese Chriss could be back with the organization in time for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was waived by the team in order to clear a roster spot for Damion Lee. The Warriors have signed Lee, so Chriss is able to return to the roster. Alen Smailagic could lose […]

Bradley Beal is Questionable Versus Bulls

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He's dealing with right shoulder soreness, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit this one out. Beal has missed each of the last five games due to a lingering leg injury. Gary Payton, Jordan McRae, and […]

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart will be sidelined for the next two to three weeks after sustaining a right lower abdominal strain. The second-year netminder suffered the injury during Tuesday's practice, the day after he stopped 26 shots in a 6-5 shootout win over the Boston Bruins. Hart has been a solid option in net […]

Bobby Portis Scores 20 For Second Time This Month

New York Knicks forward Bobby Portis scored 20 points with eight rebounds, one assist, one triple, and one steal in a 128-102 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Portis scored 20 for the second time this month. The only problem with the 24-year-old is his inconsistent playing time, which makes for spotty fantasy showings. Still, he's […]

RJ Barrett Scores 22 In Losing Effort

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett scored 22 points with eight rebounds, five triples, three assists, one steal, and one block in a 128-102 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. The Knicks may have lost big, but that shouldn't dampen the fact Barrett has put together his best overall two-game stretch this year. He's averaged 22.5 […]

Josh Donaldson Signs With Twins

The Minnesota Twins and free-agent third baseman Josh Donaldson have reportedly agreed to a four-year, $92 million contract. The contract also is reported to have a fifth-year option for the 34-year-old slugger.

Darius Garland Records First Career Double-Double

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Darius Garland dished out a career-best 10 assists during Tuesday’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, ultimately recording the first double-double of his young professional career. He scuffled to the tune of just 5-for-16 shooting, but finished with 14 points. The rookie has been finding an offensive rhythm over his last […]

Tristan Thompson Goes Scoreless In Loss Across 24 Minutes

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson failed to record a made field goal during Tuesday’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, marking the first time this season that he finished with a goose egg in that column with the last such instance coming April 5, 2018. The timing of the dud was particularly strenuous as the […]

Josh Hart (SG/SF, NO) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: There are definitely a couple of strong reasons for why you might want to avoid Josh Hart, namely that his three-point shooting percentage has decreased steadily each month from 40% in October to 29.7% to kick off the new year and his usage […]

Lou Williams Compiles 24 Points Across 20 Minutes

Los Angeles Clippers point/shooting guard Lou Williams has made a career out of scoring piles of points in a short span and Tuesday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers was no different: in just 20 minutes off the bench, Williams shot 10-for-13 overall en route to a 24-point showing. In his quest for a three-peat as […]

Dorian Finney-Smith (SF/PF, DAL) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 12% of leagues ANALYSIS: It has been a nice two-month stretch of leaps and bounds for Dorian Finney-Smith out of the Dallas Mavericks front court. From October through December, the former Florida Gator was in the unique position of seeing his playing time steadily increase, yet his […]

Collin Sexton Records Team-High 25 Points In Defeat

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Collin Sexton saw his lightest minutes allotment (28) in nearly a month, yet still managed to pace his squad with a 25-point performance during Tuesday’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Sexton shot 10-for-18 from the field overall, including going 4-for-6 from long range, continuing a stellar stretch that has seen […]

Kawhi Leonard Sinks Season-High 43 Points In Just 29 Minutes

Los Angeles Clippers small/power forward Kawhi Leonard was utterly dominant during Tuesday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, collecting a season-high 43 points on 14-for-22 shooting. Without Paul George (hamstring) available, Leonard was once again the focal point of the offense and benefited from Cleveland’s inability to slow his offensive repertoire. The six threes that he […]

D'Angelo Russell Scuffles From Field In 13-Point Outing

Golden State Warriors point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell was thoroughly flummoxed by the Dallas Mavericks during Tuesday’s defeat, finishing 5-for-17 from the field overall, including going 0-for-6 from long range en route to 13 points. He led the team with eight assists, but also turned the ball over six times, his second highest total this season. […]

Rasmus Sandin Produces Two Assists In Victory

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Rasmus Sandin had an effective performance in Tuesday's 7-4 victory against the Devils, as the 19-year-old recorded two assists, a plus-two rating, two shots on goal, three hits and one blocked shot in 16:12 of ice time in the contest. Sandin was recently recalled from the Marlies in the wake of […]

Taylor Hall Picks Up Three Points In Tuesday's Win

The 28-year-old has fit in well with the Coyotes, tallying nine points over his past seven games. Hall will continue […]
