Luka Doncic Should Play on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (wrist, thigh) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He fell during Sunday's game and suffered minor back and wrist issues. However, he played through the issues on Sunday, so there's a good chance that he plays on Thursday. Fantasy owners should double check before tip-off […]

Will Fuller A Long Shot To Play

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (groin) is a real long shot to play in the wild-card game against the Bills on Saturday, according to multiple sources. Head coach Bill O'Brien said earlier on Thursday that Fuller would be a game-time decision. The good news is that the Texans game is the first of the […]

Karl-Anthony Towns is Questionable Against Warriors

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Towns has been sidelined since December 18 due to a knee issue. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Wolves won't have a shootaround on Thursday. Gorgui Dieng will continue to see increased fantasy […]

Andrew Wiggins Might Sit Out on Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Andrew Wiggins (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He's missed each of the last three games with an illness. Kelan Martin would return to the bench and lose most of his streaming appeal if Wiggins is back. The Wolves won't have a shootaround on Thursday, […]

Julian Edelman Questionable Against Titans

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for the wild-card game against the Titans on Saturday night. Edelman clearly isn't 100 percent, but he'll play this weekend. After going eight straight weeks with double-digit targets, Tom Brady's top target has just 18 targets combined […]

Elfrid Payton Could Miss Friday's Game

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (personal) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It's unclear what personal issues Payton is dealing with, but fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off for better information. Dennis Smith Jr. (oblique) is questionable as well for this one. Frank Ntilikina could be looking […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Might Sit Out on Friday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (oblique) is questionable to suit up for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He's been banged up this season, but he hasn't been a great source of fantasy points when he's on the court. Elfrid Payton (personal) and Frank Ntilikina will see increased minutes if Smith sits out. […]

Jeff Teague is Doubtful for Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (knee) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. There's a good chance that Teague is going to miss multiple games because of his right knee sprain. Jarrett Culver will continue to see increased playing time with the Wolves banged up. He's worth looking at as […]

Joel Embiid Practices on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) was able to get through a full practice on Thursday. He missed Tuesday's game due to knee soreness, but was able to get into Thursday's practice. There's a good chance that Embiid will be able to suit up for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Fantasy owners will have […]

Eric Gordon Will Play Around 25 Minutes Friday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) will play around 25 minutes during Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Gordon recently returned after having knee surgery, so the Rockets are going to ease him back into action. The team will slowly increase his minutes, but he should play at least 20 minutes each game. Gordon hasn't […]

Braves Make Four-Year Offer To Josh Donaldson

The Atlanta Braves have made a four-year offer to third baseman Josh Donaldson, according to a source with knowledge of the team's plans. The Nationals and Twins have also made four-year offers to Donaldson, so the former MVP will have his choice of the three clubs. The 34-year-old might prefer to re-sign with the Braves […]

Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison Practicing In Full

Minnesota Vikings running backs Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) practiced in full for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Both players are on track to suit up for the wild-card game against the Saints on Sunday. Cook has missed a couple of games now with his injury, but he should jump […]

Adoree' Jackson Good To Go For Wild-Card Game

Tennessee Titans cornerback Adoree' Jackson (foot) said he's good to go for the wild-card game against the Patriots on Saturday night. Jackson, who has missed the last four games, is the Titans' best cover corner, so getting him back for the first game of the playoffs is huge for Tennessee's secondary. It remains to be […]

Adam Humphries Won't Play Saturday

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that wide receiver Adam Humphries (ankle) is out for the wild-card game against the Patriots on Saturday night. Humphries has missed the last five games and wouldn't be a lock to play in the Divisional Round if the Titans pulled the upset in New England. A.J. Brown, Corey […]

Zach Ertz Practicing Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (ribs, kidney) is practicing again on Thursday, but he hadn't been cleared for contact as of Wednesday and could very well be a game-time decision on Sunday night against the Seahawks in the wild-card round. With Philly not playing until Sunday night and with Ertz listed as the top-priced […]

Miles Sanders, Nelson Agholor Not At Practice

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (ankle) and wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) are not at practice on Thursday. Despite not practicing, Sanders is expected to play in the wild-card game on Sunday night against the Seahawks. Agholor, on the other hand, is not expected to be available. As the fourth most expensive running […]

White Sox Reach Extension With Luis Robert

The Chicago White Sox signed center field prospect Luis Robert to a six-year, $50 million deal on Thursday, according to sources. The deal includes two club options. With no service-time manipulation necessary, Robert will begin the 2020 season on Chicago's roster. Robert is a five-tool star who was named Minor League Player of the Year […]

Gorgui Dieng Continues Strong Stretch With 15-Point Outing

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward/center Gorgui Dieng remained in the starting five in place of Karl-Anthony Towns for Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks and logged 15 points despite a 4-for-14 shooting effort. Dieng was limited to just 24 minutes, which should bode well for his playing time in the second leg of the team's back-to-back […]

Jamaal Williams Returns To Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (shoulder) returned to practice on Thursday after missing the Week 17 regular season finale. Williams will have another week to heal up with the Packers securing a first-round bye in the playoffs, so he should be plenty ready to go for the Divisional Round. As the second fiddle […]

Shabazz Napier Buries Four Triples Amid 22-Point Outing

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Shabazz Napier led his team in scoring for the second consecutive game with 22 points during Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Without Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins or Jeff Teague active, Napier stepped into starting duties once again and finished 7-for-13 from the field overall and tied his season high with […]

Brook Lopez Swats Six Shots To Kick Off New Year

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez has reinvented himself before to remain an impact player in the league, and he appears to have done so again in 2019-20, as he notched six blocked shots during Wednesday’s win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. On pace to set a new career high with 2.5 blocks per game, Lopez has […]

Jaylen Nowell, Naz Reid Shine In Reserve Roles

With injuries tearing through the Minnesota roster, the rookie duo of Jaylen Nowell and Naz Reid combined to provide some offensive thump during Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. For Nowell, it was the best outing of his career to this point, dropping a career-high 12 points on 4-for-11 shooting in just 16 minutes. Reid, […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Notches Dominant Double-Double

Milwaukee Bucks small/power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo swatted away a last-second shot to seal his team’s victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. Antetokounmpo has made a habit of posting monstrous double-double numbers this season, with his outing versus Minnesota no different; he accrued 32 points, 17 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 31 minutes […]

J.J. Watt Will Play Against Bills

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that defensive end J.J. Watt (pectoral) will play against the Bills in the wild-card game on Saturday and "be in there quite a bit." Watt hasn't played since Oct. 27, however, so it's fair to wonder how effective he'll be after such a long layoff. But the Texans […]

Will Fuller To Be Game-Time Decision

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that he expects wide receiver Will Fuller (groin) to be a game-time decision for the wild-card game against the Bills on Saturday. The good news is that the Texans play the first game of wild-card weekend, so those playing in DFS tournaments will know right away. The oft-injured […]

Dellin Betances Expects To Be Ready For Spring Training

New York Mets relief pitcher Dellin Betances (Achilles, shoulder) remains on track to be ready for spring training despite pitching in just one game with the Yankees in 2019. Betances didn't need surgery after he suffered a partially torn left Achilles on Sept. 15. The hard-throwing right-hander has spent the last three months rehabbing, and […]
