Trevor Ariza and Nassir Little will be […]

Kemba Walker Might Not Play Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. It's the same knee that Walker had surgeries on in the past. The Celtics might take the cautious approach and let Walker sit this one out to rest up. Marcus Smart would likely be asked to jump into […]

Travis Kelce, Chris Jones Ready For Super Bowl

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (knee) and defensive tackle Chris Jones (calf) were full participants in practice for the third straight day on Friday and are not on the final injury report for the Super Bowl against the 49ers on Sunday.

Rui Hachimura Might Be Able to Play Saturday

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (groin) was able to practice on Friday and could return for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's been sidelined since late December, but has been increasing his activities in practice lately. Hachimura wasn't playing fantastic before the injury, but he's worth looking at in standard leagues. It's unclear whether […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo is Fine for Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is fine for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He didn't play in Tuesday's game due to a shoulder issue, but is reportedly good to go for this one. Ersan Ilyasova will head back to the bench and lose most of his streaming appeal with Antetokounmpo back in the […]

Luka Doncic Could Be Sidelined Two Weeks

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) could be sidelined two weeks or more. He suffered a right ankle sprain during Thursday's practice. It's reportedly similar to the one he suffered earlier in the season. There's a good chance that fantasy owners won't have Doncic back until after the All-Star break. Jalen Brunson, Seth Curry, and […]

Marc Gasol is Ruled Out for Friday

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This marks the second game in a row that Gasol has missed due to left hamstring tightness. Serge Ibaka started on Thursday and dropped 26 points, so he's worth using as a fantasy option while Gasol is sidelined. […]

Brandon Clarke is Doubtful for Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (hip) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He is dealing with right hip soreness and Clarke missed some action in December due to the same issue.

Capela missed Monday's game, but was able to get back on the court for Wednesday. He didn't play well during Wednesday's game and the Rockets will […]

PJ Washington is Questionable for Saturday

Charlotte Hornets forward PJ Washington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He suffered a right ankle sprain on Thursday, but was able to return to that game. The Hornets are expected to use a committee approach to fill the void if Washington sits. Miles Bridges, Cody Martin, Nicolas […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is Ruled Out for Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This marks the third game in a row that Hollis-Jefferson has missed due to an ankle issue. He injured his right ankle last Sunday and hasn't been able to play since then. Patrick McCaw, Norman Powell, and OG […]

Myles Turner Will Be Available on Saturday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. Turner has sat out each of the last two games due to an illness. He's not expected to be limited, but fantasy owners should check back after shootaround on Saturday. Jakarr Sampson should […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. is Upgraded to Probable

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was questionable on Thursday, but it sounds like Hardaway will play through the back tightness. Luka Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out, so Hardaway is likely going to be asked to do more on offense. […]

Kendrick Nunn Practices on Friday

Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn (Achilles) was able to suit up for practice on Friday. He has missed each of the last three games due to a sore left Achilles. The Heat are hopeful that Nunn will be able to return for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. Fantasy owners will have a better idea […]

Alex Len is Out At Least Another Week

Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len (hip) is going to be sidelined for at least one more week. He has missed each of the last three games due to a right hip flexor and he'll miss the next seven to 10 days. He'll be re-evaluated after that to see where he's at, but Len belongs on […]

Enes Kanter Might Sit Out Versus Sixers

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He reportedly wasn't moving around well at shootaround, so there's a good chance that he sits this one out. Daniel Theis has stepped up and become a reliable fantasy option while Kanter is out. He could see minutes […]

Frank Ntilikina is Probable for Saturday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was unable to play in Wednesday's game due to groin tightness. Elfrid Payton won't play in Saturday's game because he'll be serving his one game suspension. Ntilikina could be looking at heavy minutes and would be […]

Tevin Coleman Practices In Full Friday

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (shoulder), linebacker Kwon Alexander (pectoral) and safety Jaquiski Tartt (ribs) all practiced in full on Friday and were taken off the final injury report for the Super Bowl against the Chiefs this Sunday.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said that the team wants All-Pro tight end George Kittle around for "a long, long time."

Cubs, Rockies Have Discussed Kris Bryant, Nolan Arenado Swap

The Chicago Cubs and Colorado Rockies have discussed a one-for-one trade that would send third baseman Kris Bryant to Colorado in exchange for Nolan Arenado. The Rockies would pay at least some of Arenado's salary ($234 million over the next seven years) in the proposed deal. Apparently Arenado would also love to play for the […]

Dodgers Won't Deal Gavin Lux To Land Mookie Betts

The Los Angeles Dodgers will not trade shortstop prospect Gavin Lux (baseball's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline) in order to land Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts, but they are willing to deal outfielder Alex Verdugo. The depth that the Dodgers have in their minor league system is why they are a serious contender […]

Emmanuel Sanders And Kendrick Bourne Lurking In The Shadows

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Kendrick Bourne may play a larger factor in the Super Bowl than they have to-date these playoffs. Pitted against an electric Kansas City Chiefs offense, the Niners may need a more balanced attack than the 27 pass attempts they’ve totaled during their 2020 playoff run. Sanders has […]

Mets Sign Matt Adams to Minor League Contract

The Mets signed first baseman Matt Adams to a minor league contract on Friday, also extending him an invite to 2020 spring training. In 2019, Adams hit .226 with 20 home runs and 56 RBI with the Nationals. If he makes the MLB roster, Adams would serve as first base insurance for the Mets and […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Not Just A Game Manager

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has breezed into the Super Bowl.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle will attempt to settle the debate on who is the NFL’s best tight end at the Super Bowl.

Deebo Samuel Capping Off Memorable Rookie Year

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel could lead his team in receiving in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. The rookie wideout has emerged as a top playmaker during the team’s stretch run and has also factored into the running game. Even with the Niners attempting just 27 passes across two playoff […]

Matt Breida A Long Shot To Make Impact

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida will likely be a third option in the running game during the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite an attractive matchup against the 29th-ranked Chiefs rush defense by DVOA, Breida has garnered just nine touches in two playoff games. While he averaged a crisp 5.1 yards […]

Derek Holland Signs With Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates signed pitcher Derek Holland to a minor league deal on Friday, according to an industry source.
