Reggie Bullock Out Wednesday, Ish Smith Moved To Bench

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Utah Jazz.

Tyreke Evans And Jarell Martin Out Against Spurs

The Memphis Grizzlies will be without point guard Tyreke Evans (illness) and forward Jarell Martin (knee, ankle) for Wednesday night's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

Myles Turner And Darren Collison Out Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (elbow) will miss his eighth straight game Wednesday night against the Phoenix Suns, while point guard Darren Collison is a surprise scratch. Collison is sitting out for "personal reasons," but the reports do not specify any further. With Turner out again, forward/center Domantas Sabonis will continue to start and is […]

Myles Turner Could Return on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Myles Turner (elbow) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Phoenix Suns. He was a full participant at practice on Tuesday and told reporters he's made "good progress," but it's unclear if he'll be able to suit up on Wednesday. If Turner does play, he'll come off the bench behind […]

Jarell Martin is Questionable Against Spurs

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jarell Martin (knee, ankle) is questionable to play against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.

Myke Henry could be looking at extended playing time […]

DeAndre Jordan is Doubtful on Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan (ankle) is considered doubtful to play against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. On Monday, head coach Doc Rivers said Jordan was close to returning, but we'll have to wait and see what happens. Montrezl Harrell and Willie Reed will continue to divide up the minutes if Jordan is sidelined […]

Tyreke Evans Questionable on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (illness) is considered questionable to play in Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. He was not at Tuesday's practice and was excused due to flu-like symptoms. Memphis is already short-handed, so Evans being sidelined would create more minutes for Wayne Selden, Ben McLemore, Mario Chalmers and Dillon Brooks. Evans […]

Jamal Crawford is Questionable Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jamal Crawford (toe) is questionable to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Crawford is feeling better, but it's unlikely he'll play on Wednesday. He's listed as day-to-day, so if he does sit on Wednesday, then he could play on Thursday against Golden State. Marcus Georges-Hunt […]

Carlos Gomez Interested In Re-Signing

Free-agent outfielder Carlos Gomez is interested in re-signing with the Texas Rangers, and he rode a helicopter Tuesday across the island of the Dominican Republic to meet with general manager Jon Daniels.

Jimmy Butler is Doubtful on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is doubtful to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

Andrew Wiggins, Jeff Teague and Karl-Anthony Towns will be asked to step up […]

Tyson Chandler Will Start on Wednesday

Phoenix Suns center Tyson Chandler (rest) will be back in the starting lineup against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday.

Kris Dunn Won't Play Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn (concussion) won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.

Jerian Grant is likely looking at two more starts and Denzel Valentine will back him up off […]

Reggie Bullock Doubtful on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Reggie Bullock (thumb) is doubtful to play against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Head coach Stan Van Gundy said Bullock will be available, but it's unlikely that he'll actually get out on the court. Luke Kennard will likely replace Bullock in the starting lineup. Stanley Johnson and Anthony Tolliver could see extra […]

Jerryd Bayless Ruled Out Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jerryd Bayless (wrist) will not play against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. This marks his third straight game on the sidelines, and he'll be joined by teammates J.J. Redick (leg) and T.J. McConnell (personal). Timothe Luwawu and Justin Anderson could be forced into heavy minutes on Wednesday. Neither player will likely be much […]

Rodney Hood Ruled Out Wednesday

Utah Jazz guard/forward Rodney Hood (leg) has been ruled out of Wednesday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. This game marks the third straight contest without Hood in the rotation.

Devin Harris Ruled Out Next Three Games

Dallas Mavericks guard Devin Harris (concussion, personal) has been ruled out for the next three games. Harris is currently without a timetable and will miss Wednesday's game with a concussion.

Cowboys Want to Sign DeMarcus Lawrence to a Long-Term Deal

The Dallas Cowboys have made it clear that they want to sign defensive tackle DeMarcus Lawrence to a long-term deal this offseason. Lawrence is set to become a free agent, but the team can keep him around by using the franchise tag if a long-term deal cannot be reached. “Our first goal is to sign […]

Angels to Implement Six-Man Rotation in 2018

The Los Angeles Angels are likely to implement a six-man rotation in 2018.

"I think it makes a lot of sense right […]

Mike McCarthy Wants Packers to Get Back to Basics on Offense

In a press conference on Wednesday, Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy said that the offense is taking a “back to basics approach.” He thinks new offensive coordinator Joe Philbin will implement this effectively due to his great ability as a teacher.

Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie held his own on Tuesday night against one of the league’s elite point guards in Russell Westbrook.

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Caris LeVert did a little of everything for the Nets Tuesday night in Oklahoma City.

Biggest Tight End Busts - 2017 Year in Review

At the end of every year of fantasy football, you're left with some immediate observations about what you'll do differently in 2018. You'll spend time thinking about which RB is potentially going to be your money-in-the-bank guy in 2018, or which third-round wide receiver will make up for the 2017 mistake of drafting Terrelle Pryor in that spot. […]

2018 Dynasty Baseball Strategy - Basic Asset Valuation

Dynasty baseball is a beautiful thing. In a redraft league, everybody is trying to win now. You all have the same goal. Dynasty formats allow for long-term planning. If your team is competitive, you'll value players differently than a rebuilding owner. This discrepancy makes it much easier to find mutually beneficial trades. Unfortunately, this same […]
