The Kings managed to solve Khudobin just 2:01 into the contest but the 33-year-old shut the home team down the rest of the way - turning […]

With the multi-point effort (including one on the power play), the 25-year-old extended his personal point streak to four games (seven assists). With John Klingberg […]

Jonnu Smith Not A Fantasy Option On Saturday

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith will remain off the fantasy radar against a Ravens Defense that has ranked first in fantasy points allowed to tight ends since Week 10. Smith's success this season has been touchdown-dependent, only topping 70 yards once and hauling in more than five passes twice. More problematically, he saw two […]

Eagles Expected To Dump Offensive Coordinator

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to part ways with offensive coordinator Mike Groh and wide receivers coach Carson Walch on Thursday, according to league sources. The Eagles offense was undermanned for most of the season due to injuries to wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery and running back Jordan Howard. Considering those setbacks, the […]

A.J. Brown Will Be Fallback Option on Saturday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown has enjoyed a breakout rookie season, but will likely be a secondary option on Saturday after the Titans only threw 15 passes in last week's win over the Patriots. In order for Brown to have fantasy value, the Titans will need to be trailing by enough to abandon the […]

Dion Lewis Unlikely To Be a Factor

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis is nursing a sore shoulder, but will also have a much tougher task than his teammate Derrick Henry when they face the Ravens on Saturday. It may be possible to assume that the Ravens will build a lead, which will cause the Titans to play Lewis and their pass-first offense over […]

Kwon Alexander Will Return Saturday

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Kwon Alexander (pectoral) will be activated from Injured Reserve and will be back on the field on Saturday in the Divisional game against the Vikings, but he's unlikely to play an every-down role after a long layoff. He's nine weeks removed from surgery to fix a torn pectoral and just returned […]

Thaddeus Young Drops Season-High 18 Points In First Start

Chicago Bulls power forward Thaddeus Young entered the starting five for Wednesday’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans without Wendell Carter Jr. in the mix, leading to Young going for a season-high 18 points on 7-for-16 overall, including 3-for-7 from long range. The start marked the first of the year for Young, whose role off […]

Derrick Henry Has Path To Success Versus Ravens

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry faces a stiff test on Saturday against a Ravens Defense that ranks first in the NFL in fantasy points against since Week 10. However, much of the Ravens' success comes from playing with a lead and limiting running back production through the air. The Ravens give up the fewest […]

Zach Lavine Pours In Game-High 32 Points During Defeat

Chicago Bulls shooting guard Zach LaVine continued his high-scoring ways in Wednesday’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, dropping 32 points on 13-for-24 shooting overall. Lavine has taken on an immense offensive role over his last 11 contests, having averaged 27.8 points and 22 shot attempts on a nightly basis. His overall fantasy value has […]

Ryan Tannehill Likely To Take Back Seat Again

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill is likely to take a back seat in the team's game plan for their Divisional showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. After only throwing 15 passes in last week's win over the Patriots, Tannehill will now face a Ravens secondary that has given up the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks since […]

Jaxson Hayes Records Second Career Double-Double

New Orleans Pelicans center Jaxson Hayes snagged a career-high 12 rebounds off the bench during Wednesday’s win over the Chicago Bulls, adding 14 points to compile the second double-double of his career. In addition to the scoring, Hayes swatted four shots, the third time this year he has collected that many in a single outing. […]

Alex Len Records Double-Double In Loss

Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len tallied 14 points, 10 rebounds, and a block in a 122-115 loss to the Houston Rockets. Len recorded his sixth double-double of the season. He's been playing quite well lately, averaging 12.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game over his last five contests. He can provide […]

J.J. Redick Sinks Six Triples During Win

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard J.J. Redick hung out primarily behind the three-point line during Wednesday’s victory over the Chicago Bulls, with 12 of his 14 shot attempts coming from long range. Fortunately for the sharpshooter, six of those found the bottom of the net en route to a 24-point showing. Redick once again saw […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Pickups for Week 12

Despite the multitude of injuries to big-time players that have spread out across the NBA landscape, the league is on its way to seeing that frustrating trend head in the opposite direction. Victor Oladipo, the All-Star guard for the Indiana Pacers, is set to make his season debut on Jan. 29 against the Chicago Bulls […]

John Collins Posts Double-Double With Four Blocks

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins posted 17 points, 14 rebounds, four blocks, one triple, and one steal in a 122-115 loss to the Houston Rockets. It's Collins' third double-double since returning from his suspension. The 22-year-old has stepped up as a defender this year, smashing his previous career-highs with 2.0 blocks and 0.9 steals per […]

Brandon Ingram Drops Team-High 29 Points In Victory

New Orleans Pelicans small/power forward Brandon Ingram flirted with the idea of a triple-double during Wednesday’s win over the Chicago Bulls, collecting 29 points, a season-high 11 assists and eight rebounds across his game-high 38 minutes. Without Jrue Holiday (elbow) available, Ingram was actually the team’s primary distributor, tying his career high in dimes and […]

Despite his strong course history, the Aussie appears to flying under the radar in the DFS community […]

Joaquin Niemann Enters Sony In Sharp Form

Joaquin Niemann is set to make his Sony Open debut this week. Niemann heads to Honolulu in sharp form on the heels of a T5 in last week's Sentry Tournament of Champions. The 21-year-old phenom captured his first win on the PGA Tour during the fall season at Greenbrier. His world-class ball striking should pay […]
