New York Giants tight end Evan Engram's season has come to an end after the team sent him to the IR with a foot sprain. It's a crushing blow as injuries have continued to plague the talented tight end. After playing in 15 games his rookie year, he missed five games last year and will […]

Grayson Allen Questionable To Make Return Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies point/shooting guard Grayson Allen has seen any momentum that he has built up throughout the 2019-20 season derailed by ankle injuries. He has missed each of his team’s previous four outings due to right ankle soreness, but is now questionable to return to action for Wednesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. After […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Picks Up Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard/small forward Kevin Porter Jr. has been tagged as questionable to participate in Wednesday’s game versus the Charlotte Hornets due to a sore left shoulder. Porter, who has developed into a consistent bench cog for the Cavaliers, has missed just one contest all season. While his fluctuating scoring efforts make him a […]

Moritz Wagner Will Remain Sidelined For Wednesday

Washington Wizards power forward/center Moritz Wagner has been ruled out for Wednesday’s game versus the Chicago Bulls due to an ankle injury. The fact that the team signed Anzejs Pasecniks to a two-way deal earlier Tuesday does not bode well for Wagner returning to the floor anytime soon. His absence will mark his third straight […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns has his status up in the air for Wednesday’s game versus the New Orleans Pelicans due to a left knee sprain. Towns has not missed a game since Nov. 4, with Gorgui Dieng the likeliest candidate to see a significant uptick in minutes should the big man be sidelined, as […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/17/19): NBA DFS Lineups

Tuesday’s six games feature a feast or famine slate as it pertains to offensive production. There are excellent defensive units and slow-paced squads squaring off with one another, which is sure to limit some of the league’s usual top fantasy assets. Then, there is the meeting between Brooklyn and New Orleans. With a projected total […]

Nicolas Batum To Miss Fourth Straight Game Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets shooting guard/small forward Nicolas Batum has been ruled out for Tuesday’s contest versus the Sacramento Kings due to left hand discomfort. Batum had been upgraded to questionable earlier in the day, but the team has ultimately decided to hold him back. Without him in the rotation, both Malik Monk and Cody Martin should […]

De'Aaron Fox Will Come Off Bench In Return To Action

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox will return to the floor for Tuesday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets following a 17-game absence due to a significant ankle sprain. Fox has been confirmed to be coming off the bench, but his presence in the rotation deals a significant blow to the fantasy value of Cory Joseph […]

A.J. Green Unlikely to Play in 2019

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (hamstring) confirmed that he is unlikely to play for the remainder of this season. Green will be a free agent at the end of the season and has no reason to push himself and risk further injury in a lost season. Green has already stated that he'd play under […]

Matthew Stafford Placed On IR

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) was placed on the injured reserve Tuesday, ending his season. Had the Lions been fighting for a playoff spot, there is the possibility that Stafford could have returned, but at this point shutting him down for the season was the obvious choice. Stafford was on pace for a career […]

Anthony Davis To Miss Tuesday’s Game

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis has been ruled out for Tuesday’s contest versus the Indiana Pacers due to a sprained ankle. After having played through the ailment Sunday, the Lakers have opted to play it safe, sidelining Davis for the second time this season. In his absence, expect a handful of Lakers to […]

Rui Hachimura is Out At Least Five Games

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (groin) is going to be sidelined for at least the next five games. He injured his groin during Monday's game and will be re-evaluated once the four game road trip is over. The Wizards are already tanking, so they aren't going to risk the health of Hachimura. Davis Bertans is […]

Nicolas Batum is Upgraded to Questionable

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (hand) has been upgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He's missed each of the last three games due to left hand discomfort. He was listed as doubtful on Tuesday, but it appears he's making solid progress. The Hornets are banged up, but Batum isn't going to […]

Kevin Huerter is Expected to Play on Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (shoulder) is expected to suit up for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. Huerter suffered a left shoulder injury on Sunday, but it doesn't sound like it's going to sideline him. He won't be on a minutes limit, so fantasy owners can feel safe with Huerter in their lineups […]

Marcus Smart is Ruled Out for Wednesday's Game

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) won't travel with the team for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Smart is going to miss his fourth game in a row due to an eye infection. It began in his left eye, but has reportedly spread into his right eye as well. Brad Wanamaker and Semi Ojeleye […]

Fred Vanvleet is Unlikely to Play on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) is unlikely to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. However, Vanvleet did look better in practice on Tuesday, according to head coach Nick Nurse. The Raptors may decide to take the cautious approach which means Vanvleet would miss his fifth straight game. Norman Powell has stepped […]

Paul Millsap is Questionable for Wednesday

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He's missed each of the last two games due to a right quad strain. Jerami Grant has started each of those games and could be in line for another start. He's been decent during those starts and could […]

Jabari Parker is Available for Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jabari Parker (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game against the New York Knicks. He was listed as probable on Monday's injury report, but appears to be over his right ankle sprain. Parker has been playing well, but will lose fantasy value once John Collins (suspension) returns to the court shortly after Christmas.

Joel Embiid Practices on Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) was able to suit up for Tuesday's practice. Embiid is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He didn't play on Sunday because of an illness, but appears better now. Mike Scott was starting in his place, but will be bumped back to the bench […]

Andre Drummond is Uncertain for Wednesday's Contest

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (eye) is likely going to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's sat out the last two games because of swelling in his eye from an allergic reaction. Thon Maker has started the last two games, but hasn't been impressive. Markieff Morris and Christian Wood […]

Blake Griffin Might Play on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Griffin was only able to play 15 minutes on Sunday before exiting with knee pain. He didn't suit up on Monday, so fantasy owners will have to wait and see how much progress he makes over the next […]

Eric Paschall Should Return on Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (hip) will return to the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's missed the last two games due to a left hip issue. He's not expected to be limited at all, so fantasy owners should feel safe about using Paschall on Wednesday. Damion Lee will […]

Cameron Johnson is Doubtful Against Clippers

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (hip) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Devin Booker (forearm) is expected to join Johnson on the sideline for this one. Mikal Bridges and Ricky Rubio are going to see heavy minutes without either of those guys in the rotation. Both Bridges and Rubio […]

Devin Booker is Doubtful for Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (forearm) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. There's a good chance that Booker is going to miss his third straight game due to a forearm contusion. Mikal Bridges is expected to draw another start and he'll be worth a look as a streaming option […]

Deeper League Free Agent Pickups for Week 16

It's Week 16. It's Championship Week. If you've made it this far, you undoubtedly know the drill. It's also less likely you're in need of a player to pick up from the bowels of the waiver wire. But just for consistency sake and to ensure no championship-bound teams are left in the lurch, I'm going […]

Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Kenyan Drake, Mike Boone, Breshad Perriman, Anthony Miller, Ryan Tannehill, and Tyler Higbee were all freely available on waivers at some point this season, if not last week. These are the type of players that become unexpected league-winners and this is why you never stop playing the wire up until the curtain is drawn on […]

Roman Josi Shines In New York On Monday

Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi helped drive his team to a much-needed 5-2 victory over the New York Rangers on Monday. The Preds' captain delivered big with a pair of goals, an assist, a plus-three rating, four shots on goal and one hit in 25:18 of ice time in the win. While the Predators are […]

Sergei Bobrovsky Earns Victory On Monday

Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky continued his much-improved play as of late, earning his 12th victory of the season in his team's 6-1 defeat of the Ottawa Senators on Monday. The 31-year-old received plenty of goal support in cruising to a win in this one but was still sturdy when called upon, turning aside 29 […]
