But if the ankle sprain keeps him off the court on Friday night, Noah Clowney and Jalen Wilson […]

Cam Thomas Probable On Friday Night

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (back) is probable for Friday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. The 2021 No. 27 overall pick is having the best year of his career, averaging 24.6 points and 39.2% shooting from deep.

Calvin Ridley Should Be Good To Play Against Texans

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he sat out of the first practice of the week while being under the weather.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Out On Thursday Night

Orlando Magic guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) is out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 31-year-old has struggled in his first 16 games with the Magic, averaging only 6.9 points and shooting 22.9% from deep. Still, he should break out of his funk at some point. With that in mind, KCP's next chance […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Jaylen Warren, Jerome Ford, Pat Freiermuth

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren, and Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth are three players that aren't the most exciting starting options heading into Week 12.
