Will 2020 Be The Year Of Justin Thomas?

Dustin Johnson Looks To Begin 2020 With A Bang

It has been a difficult stretch of golf for Dustin Johnson, who has failed to finish better than 20th place in his previous eight events. While that isn't the sort of form you hope to bring into the new year, the American does have a built-in excuse for his poor stretch of golf. Johnson battled […]

Ben Simmons Bags Another Double-Double

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons produced a mixed performance on Tuesday against Indiana, finishing the game with a nice 18-point, 10-rebound double-double, but he had only three assists and committed six turnovers. Simmons shot a good 6-for-11 from the field and 6-for-8 at the line, but his shaky handles resulted in him finishing the […]

Josh Richardson Leads Sixers In Scoring Versus Indiana

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Josh Richardson scored a team-high 20 points in Tuesday's blowout loss to Indiana. He was in miserable form from downtown with a 1-for-6 record, but shot a solid 7-for-14 overall from the field and had a perfect record with five attempts at the charity stripe. Richardson added five assists, two rebounds, […]

T.J. McConnell Ends 2019 With A Double-Double

Indiana Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell recorded his first double-double of the season on Tuesday, finishing a 115-97 win over the Sixers with 11 points and 10 assists. He shot 3-for-7 from the field and 5-for-6 at the line, while logging a season-high 27 minutes. McConnel played a bigger role as Malcolm Brogdon (back) exited […]

Bradley Beal Practices on Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (leg) was able to participate in Tuesday's practice. He's missed each of the last two games, but is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest versus the Orlando Magic. Gary Payton, Ish Smith, Jordan McRae, and Isaiah Thomas will see reduced playing time once Beal is back in action.

T.J. Warren Finishes Year With 21-Point Effort

Indiana Pacers small forward T.J. Warren continued his recent good scoring streak with a 21-point performance on Tuesday against Philadelphia. He shot 9-for-11 from the field in the final game of the year, including a perfect 2-for-2 from downtown. Warren also managed to register four rebounds and two assists. The 26-year-old forward had a very […]

James Harden is Back Versus Nuggets

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (toe) is back in the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He missed Sunday's game due to a toe issue, but will be fine for this game. Eric Gordon will head back to the second unit, but should continue to have value in deep leagues. Harden shouldn't […]

Clint Capela Will Play on Tuesday

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela (heel) will play in Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He missed the last two games due to a heel contusion, but it appears Capela is ready to play. Isaiah Hartenstein had a nice little run as a streaming option, but will go back to having minimal value with Capela […]

Domantas Sabonis Scores Game-High 23 Points

Indiana Pacers forward/center Domantas Sabonis led all scorers with 23 points in Tuesday's 115-97 win over Philadelphia, shooting 10-for-16 from the field. He also pulled down 10 rebounds to record his 27th double-double of the season, adding five assists, one steal, and one block. 2019 was a good year for Sabonis and 2020 looks set […]

Aaron Gordon Goes Through Light Practice

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (Achilles) was able to get through a light practice on Tuesday. He missed Monday's game due to soreness in his left Achilles. The Magic are going to be careful, but have listed Gordon as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Wesley Iwundu started for Gordon on Monday, but […]

Luka Doncic is Upgraded to Probable for Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (back, wrist) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He fell awkwardly during Sunday's game, but it appears he's going to be fine for Tuesday. Fantasy owners should feel safe about plugging Doncic into their lineups here. He shouldn't be limited at all for […]

Gary Harris is Downgraded to Questionable

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris (shin) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was upgraded to probable on Monday, but we'll wait and see how he's feeling closer to tip-off. Michael Porter Jr. played fantastic in the absence of Harris on Sunday. He'd be worth a look as a […]

Frank Ntilikina Might Sit Out on Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was able to play 17 minutes on Saturday, but continues to deal with a nagging groin issue. Dennis Smith Jr. (oblique) is questionable for Wednesday as well. Elfrid Payton could be looking at heavy minutes […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Questionable Against Blazers

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (oblique) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's missed each of the last two games due to a left oblique strain. There should be more information after Wednesday's shootaround. Elfrid Payton could be looking at heavy minutes with Frank Ntilikina (groin) questionable […]

Paul Millsap Might Sit Out on Tuesday

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. He's missed the last two games due to a left knee issue. Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee would see more minutes if Millsap sits out. Grant is the better fantasy option of the two, but fantasy owners should […]

Kevin Knox is Probable for Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He missed Monday's practice due to an illness, but it appears he'll be fine for this contest. He hasn't been much of a fantasy option this season, but could have some deep league value.

Marvin Bagley Will Sit Out on Tuesday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Kings are going to be cautious with their young forward, so Bagley could be looking at a few more games sidelined. Nemanja Bjelica and Richaun Holmes will see more playing time coming their way. Both players […]

Landry Shamet Will Start on Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Landry Shamet will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He's been up and down this season, but could be worth a look as a streaming option with the Clippers thin on Tuesday. Patrick Beverley (wrist) has been ruled out and Lou Williams (personal) is unavailable. […]

Jesper Bratt Keeps Good Form Going With Eighth Goal

New Jersey Devils left wing Jesper Bratt continued his recent good form with his eighth goal of the season in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over Boston. The Devils found themselves two goals down, but Blake Coleman started the comeback and Bratt took the game past regulation in the third period. Nico Hischier and P.K. Subban […]

Evgeny Kuznetsov Scores Two Goals In Tuesday's Loss

Casey Cizikas Bags Pair Of Goals Against Washington

New York Islanders center Casey Cizikas finished off 2019 with a two-goal effort in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Washington.

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his right knee and underwent surgery to repair it on Monday.

Jake Guentzel to Miss Remainder of Regular Season

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jake Guentzel underwent shoulder surgery after being injured in Monday night's game. His recovery timeline is estimated to be four to six months, leaving little doubt as to whether he will be able to return this regular season. Guentzel was on pace for a career year with 43 points in 39 games, […]

Mark Ingram, Mark Andrews Not Practicing Tuesday

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (calf) and tight ends Mark Andrews (ankle) and Hayden Hurst were not seen at practice on Tuesday. The Ravens have a first-round bye after locking up the No. 1 seed in the AFC, so they will not play this weekend. Expect them to rest Ingram, Andrews and all the […]

Bears Part Ways With Offensive Coordinator

The Chicago Bears dismissed offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, tight ends coach Kevin Gilbride, offensive line coach Harry Hiestand and assistant special teams coach Brock Olivo on Tuesday. With quarterback Mitch Trubisky taking a step backwards in 2020, Helfrich gets the axe. The Bears finished with 296.8 yards per game (fourth worst) and 17.5 points per […]
