Judge or Bellinger - Goliath versus Goliath?

Let’s set the table before we dig in: choosing between Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger is like deciding between bacon or chicken wings. Both are delicious. And to put this analogy in overkill, let’s assume anyone that dislikes bacon and chicken wings just isn't a baseball fan. Judge and Bellinger are two faces of baseball’s […]

Using Sabermetrics For Fantasy Baseball Part 4 - Batted Ball Distribution

Fly balls can turn into home runs. Ground balls never do. It would seem as though fantasy owners want their batters to hit nothing but flies, yet this is not the case. Why would this be? The answer, of course, comes down to batted ball distribution and the manner in which batters make contact. In […]

Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball Part 3 - Statcast for Batters

If you've watched a baseball broadcast in the so-called Statcast Era, you have undoubtedly noticed the broadcasters commenting on a batted ball's exit velocity, or EV. Many have taken to using stats like Hard% and Soft% to forecast how a player should be performing, expecting larger Hard% rates to produce larger BABIP and HR/FB figures. […]

Nicolas Batum is Playing With Confidence

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum continues to play well scoring 15 points in a loss to Denver on Monday. Over the last five games, Batum is averaging 20 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists. On Monday, he added four rebounds and five assists in 31 minutes of action. Whether it's on purpose or not, Charlotte […]

Dwight Howard Ends Double-Double Streak

Charlotte Hornets center Dwight Howard ended a 12-game double-double streak in a loss to Denver on Monday. Howard racked up 19 points, going 9-for-11 from the field, but finished with only seven rebounds. Howard has been looking like a man possessed over the last month, ranking as a top-15 player averaging 16.6 points and 14.3 […]

Goran Dragic Fills It Up Across The Board

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic scored 13 points in a loss to Orlando on Monday. The 2018 All-Star substitute contributed across the board with seven assists and nine rebounds in 35 minutes of action. Dragic shot 5-for-13 and 1-for-4 from three. The Dragon has played over 34 minutes in three out of the last four […]

Hassan Whiteside Does Not Play Fourth Quarter In Loss

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside scored 19 points and grabbed 14 rebounds in a loss to Orlando on Monday. The bigger story is Whiteside failed to play in the fourth quarter. What makes it even more concerning is Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) left early in this game and head coach Eric Spoelstra chose to go small […]

Bam Adebayo Takes Advantage Of Opportunity

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo had 18 points and 10 rebounds in a loss to Orlando on Monday. Adebayo got quality minutes down the stretch after starting center Kelly Olynyk (shoulder) was injured in the first half. There is no timeline for Olynyk's return and Adebayo has proven to be more than serviceable when asked […]

Mario Hezonja Has Fourth Straight Solid Game

Orlando Magic guard/forward Mario Hezonja scored 20 points in a win on Monday against Miami. Hezonja replaced Aaron Gordon (hip) in the starting five and led the team in minutes played.

Elfrid Payton Gives Out Seven Assists In Win

Orlando Magic guard Elfrid Payton dished out seven assists on Monday against Miami. It's his third game since his horrific 18-minute four-point snoozer and he has settled in to about 24 minutes a game. Monday he played 25, including the last five minutes--which is a good sign for Payton and fantasy owners. Payton chipped in […]

Rudy Gobert Played Very Efficiently

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert played very well Monday night versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Gobert scored 19 points going 7-for-8 from the floor and a perfect 5-for-5 from the free throw line.

Rubio scored 20 points shooting 8-for-19 from the floor and went 3-for-4 from the charity stripe. To round out the game Rubio also had 11 assists as well. Rubio in the […]

Evan Fournier Has Another Tepid Night

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier scored just 13 points in a win over Miami on Monday. Fournier just didn't seem really engaged in this one. He shot 6-for-13 from the field and an anemic 1-for-4 from three. He did not attempt a free throw. This is Fournier's second consecutive below-average game and with the trade-deadline […]

Markieff Morris Double-Doubles In Win

Washington Wizards forward/center Markieff Morris continued his torrid stretch Monday night against the Indiana Pacers. Morris double-doubled with 11 points and 10 rebounds to go along with two assists and a three-pointer. This marked his first double-double in about a month, but Morris scored in double figures for the sixth straight game. Morris isn't a […]

Damian Lillard Continues To High Scoring

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard had a solid game versus the Detroit Pistons Monday night. Lillard scored 20 points shooting 8-for-17 from the floor.

Otto Porter Struggles From Deep

Washington Wizards small forward Otto Porter could not find his three-point range Monday night against the Indiana Pacers. Porter went 1-for-5 from deep, but managed to finish with 13 points, three assists, and two rebounds in 25 minutes. Porter got into foul trouble early leading to the reduced role Monday. Porter has been one of […]

CJ McCollum Has Rough Game

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard CJ McCollum didn't have the best of performances Monday night going up against the Detroit Pistons. McCollum scored 14 points going 6-for-15 from the field with two of those made shots coming from three-point range. The other counting categories McCollum also floundered in putting up two rebounds and one assist. […]

Todd Frazier Agrees To Terms With Mets

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that free-agent infielder Todd Frazier has agreed to a two-year, $17 million contract, with the New York Mets. It is a nice deal for Frazier, who aside from home runs, has struggled in recent years. This past season, the 31-year-old hit .213 with 27 home runs and 76 RBI […]

Wilson Chandler is Probable Against Hornets

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Wilson Chandler (illness) is probable to play in Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

He's expected to play on Monday, but Will […]

Marvin Williams is Doubtful on Monday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Williams has already missed three games in a row. He said he does not have a return date in mind, so expect him to continue watching from the sideline. Frank Kaminsky has played well in two of his three starts […]

Donovan Mitchell is Probable Monday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He had the weekend to rest after missing Saturday's contest against San Antonio. Mitchell is expected to replace Aaron Gordon (hip) is the dunk contest. Assuming Mitchell plays on Monday, he'll be a great fantasy option after dropping 40 […]

Aaron Gordon Ruled Out Next Two Games

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. Gordon will not play versus the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday, and pulled himself out of the dunk contest. The Magic aren't going anywhere this season, so Gordon could be looking at quite a few games on the sidelines. […]

Hassan Whiteside is Probable on Monday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. He did not go through shootaround, but head coach Erik Spoelstra said Whiteside was just getting extra rest. Owners will likely need to wait until closer to tip-off before a final decision is made. Bam Adebayo, Kelly Olynyk and James […]
