David Johnson Out For Next Two Games

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) will miss Sunday's meeting with the Saints and is expected to miss Thursday's game against the 49ers as well. Johnson had just one touch in Week 7 before exiting and ceding the way for second-year back Chase Edmonds, who had a huge game. Edmonds is now a must […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Records Double-Double In Loss

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. scored 12 points and added 11 rebounds in Saturday's 108-84 loss to the Raptors. Carter Jr. was active around the basket on a night where many of his teammates struggled to score, including Zach LaVine's 4-for-13 shooting from the field, Lauri Markkanen's 3-for-10 night, and Coby White's 3-for-14 performance. […]

Royce Freeman Hopes To See Uptick In Volume

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman enters Week 8 with a daunting matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Freeman has been the top receiving back in Denver this year, outshining teammate Phillip Lindsay in that regard, and has started to find Flex volume in his role. This past week the Broncos moved wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders […]

Phillip Lindsay Looks For Bounce Back Week

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay is coming off of a disappointing Week 7 performance against the Chiefs and the road does not lighten up as he looks to bounce back against a stout Indianapolis Colts Defense. Lindsay has continued to prove that he has the most fantasy value out of the Denver backfield, but […]

Lonzo Ball Delivers Double-Double On Eve Of Birthday

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball dropped his first double-double of the 2019-20 season during Saturday’s loss to the Houston Rockets.

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard/small forward Josh Hart entered the starting lineup in place of the injured Jrue Holiday for Saturday’s defeat against the Houston Rockets and shone across his 34 minutes of action.

James Harden Has Woeful Shooting Night In Victory

Houston Rockets point/shooting guard James Harden was way off the mark from long range during Saturday’s win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

While the scoring average remained high, he snagged just four rebounds and added five assists while […]

Russell Westbrook Claims 2nd Place On Triple-Double List

NFL DFS Prop Picks for 10/27/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

However, as we approach the midpoint of the season, some teams have just […]

De'Aaron Fox Cleared To Suit Up Saturday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox had his status for Saturday’s contest against the Utah Jazz up in the air for much of the day, but the team determined him and his sore left hip good to go shortly prior to tip-off. Cory Joseph was expected to start should Fox have been sidelined, but it […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Unlikely To Play Sunday

Miami Heat small/power forward Derrick Jones Jr. departed Saturday’s contest against the Milwaukee Bucks early due to a left groin strain. The severity of the injury has put his status for Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves in doubt. Jones was instant offense off the bench for Miami on Saturday, compiling 14 points on 5-for-6 shooting […]

Alec Burks Picks Up Questionable Tag For Sunday

Golden State Warriors shooting guard/small forward Alec Burks is questionable to make his season debut during Sunday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a sprained right ankle.

Harry Giles To Be Sidelined Saturday

The Sacramento Kings will be without power forward/center Harry Giles for Saturday’s contest against the Utah Jazz due to a sore left knee.

Washington Capitals forward Lars Eller scored a goal and an assist late in Friday's comeback win against the Canucks. Eller pitched in an assist on Evgeny Kuznetsov's goal, then converted a short-handed opportunity to start the third period, getting the ball rolling on erasing Vancouver's four-goal lead. Less than 10 minutes later, the Capitals fully […]

Kevon Looney Slated To Miss Duo Of Contests

Golden State Warriors power forward/center Kevon Looney appeared on line to participate in Sunday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but a “neuropathic condition” with his right hamstring will keep him on the shelf for at least the next two contests. The news is certainly not promising for Looney’s long-term prognosis, which when combined with […]

Two Helpers From Jack Eichel Lifts Sabres Over Red Wings

Buffalo Sabres forward Jack Eichel registered two assists in Buffalo's 2-0 victory over Detroit on Friday. It was Eichel's fifth multi-assist game of the young season, giving him six points in his last three games. In a bit of a scoring oddity, Eichel has not had a game yet where he has only picked up […]

Goal Drought Continues for Andreas Athanasiou

Detroit Red Wings forward Andreas Athanasiou failed to score a goal on three shots against Buffalo, stretching his goalless start to the season one game further. After scoring 30 goals last year, breaking the 20 goal threshold for the first time in his career, Athanasiou has gone ice cold to start the season. Athanasiou has […]
