When a baseball season ends, the following season can’t come here soon enough for some fans, myself included. We start thinking about what we want to see from some players, which includes letdowns, bounce-backs, and even young prospects.

John Brown Looks To Return To Form Against Houston

Devin Singletary Could Shine Against Houston

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary has the luxury of squaring off against a Texans Defense that allowed 28.20 fantasy points per game to his position in 2019. While Dalvin Cook and Derrick Henry are obviously the highest-priced backs in DFS contests during wild-card weekend, the rookie has significant upside that shouldn't be ignored. After […]

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has a favorable matchup on Saturday against Houston. The Texans Defense didn't fare well against opposing quarterbacks during the regular season, allowing a fourth-worst 4,493 passing yards and 33 touchdowns in addition to a seventh-worst 291 yards on the ground. If the sophomore signal-caller can stay accurate, which was something […]

Bruce Brown Jr. Set To Suit Up Saturday

Detroit Pistons point/shooting guard Bruce Brown Jr. missed practice Friday, but isn’t in doubt of missing Saturday’s game versus the Golden State Warriors. Having shifted to a bench role in three of his last four appearances, Brown has actually seen more playing time as a reserve, having averaged 11 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists […]

Donte Divincenzo To Rest For Saturday’s Game

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Donte Divincenzo has started each of Milwaukee’s past 10 games, but will be rested for Saturday’s contest versus the San Antonio Spurs. With Wesley Matthews not listed on the injury report, he appears the likely candidate to jump back into the starting five, even if his DFS prospects are capped […]

Blake Griffin, Markieff Morris Both Ruled Out For Saturday

The Detroit Pistons will once again be without the power-forward duo of Blake Griffin and Markieff Morris for Saturday’s contest versus the Golden State Warriors.

Sacramento Kings shooting guard/small forward Bogdan Bogdanovic missed practice Friday and is officially tagged as doubtful to play in Saturday’s game versus the New Orleans Pelicans due to a sore ankle. Bogdanovic has oscillated between questionable and active for the better part of a week and finally appears in line to miss a contest for […]

Andre Drummond On Track To Play Saturday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond may have missed practice Friday, but that does not appear to be keeping him from suiting up Saturday versus the Golden State Warriors, as he is not listed on the team’s initial injury report.

John Collins To Miss Remainder Of Friday’s Contest

Atlanta Hawks power forward/center John Collins has been ruled out for the final quarter and a half of Friday’s game versus the Boston Celtics due to a back contusion after landing hard earlier in the third quarter.

Dennis Smith Jr. To Miss Fourth Consecutive Contest

New York Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. will be sidelined for Friday’s game versus the Phoenix Suns due to a strained left oblique.

Jae Crowder Listed As Questionable For Saturday’s Game

Memphis Grizzlies small/power forward Jae Crowder has picked up a questionable designation ahead of Saturday’s contest versus the Los Angeles Clippers due to left ankle soreness.

Eagles Optimistic That Zach Ertz Will Play

There is optimism surrounding Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (back, ribs) and whether he can play on Sunday in the wild-card game against the Seahawks, barring any surprises, according to sources. Ertz has passed some stringent tests but will need to pass more in order to play this weekend. He had a small cut […]

Paul George Unlikely To Suit Up Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers small/power forward Paul George has been tagged as doubtful to play in Saturday’s game versus the Memphis Grizzlies due to left hamstring tightness. George has not missed a contest since making his season debut Nov. 14, but his absence should pave the way for Kawhi Leonard to take on a larger offensive […]

Elfrid Payton Will Arrive In Time To Start Friday

New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton reportedly caught a flight that has allowed him to get to Phoenix in time for Friday’s game versus the Suns. Payton was questionable to play due to personal reasons, but he will retain his role in the starting five for the sixth consecutive contest. He has been dishing […]

Michael Carter-Williams To Miss Considerable Time

Orlando Magic point/shooting guard Michael Carter-Williams missed Friday’s game versus the Miami Heat due to a sprained AC joint in his shoulder, his sixth consecutive contest on the sidelines.

Dejounte Murray To Miss Saturday’s Game

San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Dejounte Murray has been ruled out for Saturday’s contest versus the Milwaukee Bucks due to personal reasons.
