Tom Brady Should Be OK

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (hand) "should be OK" after jamming his throwing hand in practice Wednesday, according to a source close to Brady. Brady's hand may affect him a little bit this weekend against the Jaguars in the AFC title game, but probably not enough to affect his performance. The veteran signal caller […]

Hassan Whiteside Propels Heat With Season-High 27 Points

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside was a beast in a 106-101 win over the Bucks on Wednesday, dropping 27 points on an efficient 10 of 12 shooting. Whiteside ripped down 13 boards and also swatted away a season-high six blocks, as his buy-low window has officially closed. Whiteside is slowly coming on hot, as he's […]

Russell Westbrook Struggles Shooting

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook looked human Wednesday versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook scored 19 points, going 8-for-22 from the floor in the contest.

To further compound […]

DeMarre Carroll Puts up Double-Double Against Spurs

Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll was solid again against the Spurs on Wednesday, scoring 11 points with 10 rebounds to pick up the double-double in the losing effort.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson gets Shut Down by the Spurs

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had a dreadful showing against the Spurs on Wednesday, which included a game-high five turnovers. Hollis-Jefferson scored a mere seven points on 3-for-6 shooting, and head coach Kenny Atkinson yanked him out after just 19 minutes of action. He added four rebounds, an assist and a block to finish the […]

Jose Iglesias Avoids Arbitration

Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias avoided salary arbitration Wednesday by agreeing to a one-year deal. Financial terms weren't disclosed. Iglesias is a glove-first player that doesn't carry much value in fantasy leagues, especially now that he'll be hitting at the bottom of a rebuilding team's lineup. In 2017 he hit .255/.288/.369 with only six home […]

Caris Levert Shoots Poorly on Wendesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Caris Levert had a decent game on Wednesday despite the poor field goal percentage (4-for-11). LeVert knocked down two triples on his way to finishing with 13 points against the Spurs. He didn't do much else, however, adding just two boards and two assists while turning the ball over twice. Considering most […]

Boston's Reported Offer To J.D. Martinez Not Correct

The Boston Red Sox's reported offer of five years and $100 million to free-agent outfielder J.D. Martinez is "not accurate," according to his agent, Scott Boras. Martinez and Boras were said to be looking for a deal close to $200 million at the beginning of free agency, and while the free-agent market has been especially […]

Allen Crabbe Puts Up 20 Points In Loss To Spurs

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Allen Crabbe put up a strong effort on Thursday with 20 points and eight rebounds in a losing effort against the Spurs. Crabbe has been an inconsistent player this season for the Nets. When his shot has been on, he can help win them games, but too often he has struggled […]

Kyle Lowry One Rebound Short of Double-Double on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry was aggressive on Wednesday against the Pistons, and while he wasn't exactly efficient (5-for-14), he still had a great game. Lowry splashed home four triples on his way to scoring 18 points against Detroit. He was a fantastic rebounder in this one, pulling down nine in the contest despite […]

DeMar DeRozan has Bad Game by his Standards

Toronto Raptors shooting guard DeMar DeRozan had an underwhelming performance against the Pistons on Wednesday but still managed to help his team pull out the win. DeRozan scored just 17 points in this one on 7-for-15 shooting with no triples. He added five assists and just two boards in the win but disappointingly turned the […]

Anthony Davis Cools off on Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis came back down to Earth on Wednesday against Atlanta. After averaging 43 points in the last three games, Davis scored only eight points in the 94-93 loss. The Hawks limited him to just eight field goal attempts and six free throws. The eight points are a season low for […]

Jonas Valanciunas Has The Last Laugh Against the Pistons

Toronto Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas seems to always have extra motivation when playing against Andre Drummond and the Pistons, as the two names have come up in trade rumors in the past. Valanciunas and Drummod were doing battle in the Air Canada Centre in this one, and though Drummond had the better line (25 points, […]

Serge Ibaka Flops on Wednesday

Toronto Raptors power forward/center Serge Ibaka disappeared against the Pistons, scoring just one bucket in his 23 minutes. Ibaka finished with a disappointing two points, three rebounds, one assist and one turnover in this one.

C.J. Miles Plays Season-High 25 Minutes

Toronto Raptors guard/forward CJ Miles was feeling it against Detroit on Wednesday, heating up for 21 points on 7-for-16 shooting with five triples in his 25 minutes.

Spencer Dinwiddie Flirts With Double-Double Despite Loss

Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie flirted with a double-double in a Wednesday night loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Dinwiddie scored nine points and dished out 12 assists while committing zero turnovers in what was another strong performance for the fourth-year player out of Colorado. Dinwiddie has really grown his game this year to […]

DeAndre Jordan Out Wednesday As Expected

Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Wednesday night's game against the Denver Nuggets. Jordan's ankle is still bothering him, as the swelling has not subsided, and head coach Doc Rivers has not put a timetable on his return. The Clippers will start forward/center Willie Reed again, while forward […]

Jordan Bell Sprains Ankle Minutes Into Game Wednesday

Golden State Warriors forward/center Jordan Bell (ankle) was carted off in a wheelchair Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls and will not return.

Tim Hardaway Jr. Will Come Off The Bench

New York Knicks shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (rest) will return Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies but will come off the bench. The Knicks are sticking with the same starters as last game as they use caution with THJ. Hardaway's return will lower Courtney Lee's usage, while Michael Beasley is expected to rarely see […]

Tyler Johnson Will Sit Out Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (ankle) will be in street clothes for Wednesday night's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Johnson suffered an ankle injury Monday against the Chicago Bulls and was doubtful coming into the game. The high-flying forward Derrick Jones will make another start in Johnson's absence but is a risky option for DFS. Instead, […]

Kawhi Leonard Out Indefinitely

The San Antonio Spurs have announced forward Kawhi Leonard (quadriceps) is out indefinitely and will miss Wednesday night's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. Leonard's quad has not responded the way the Spurs would have liked, and they are sidelining him for rehabilitation. Head coach Gregg Popovich and the Spurs do expect Leonard to return at […]

Trevor Ariza And Gerald Green Suspended Two Games

The Houston Rockets will be without guard/forwards Trevor Ariza and Gerald Green for the next two games following their involvement in Monday night's incident with the Los Angeles Clippers. Notable players James Harden, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin have all avoided discipline from the league. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute is the likely candidate to enter the […]

Lonzo Ball Remains Out Wednesday, Unlikely To Play Friday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball (knee) will remain on the sideline for Wednesday night's primetime contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ball will miss his second straight game with a knee injury and is in danger of missing a third Friday night against the Indiana Pacers, according to head coach Luke Walton. Tyler […]

Rex Burkhead Set To Play Sunday Against Jaguars

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (knee) is expected to play this Sunday against the Jaguars, per CBSSports.com. Burkhead has not played since Dec. 17, as he is dealing with a knee sprain. He was proving to be the perfect complement to starter Dion Lewis with his ability to catch the ball out of the […]

Dion Lewis Could Be Key To Patriots Success

New England Patriots running back Dion Lewis will be a key offensive figure in their matchup against the Jaguars for the AFC Championship Game. The Jaguars have allowed the 11th fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season despite the Steelers' Le'Veon Bell breaking free for some big plays last week. Lewis is having a […]

Fred VanVleet Sitting Out Against Detroit As A Precaution

The Toronto Raptors are being cautious with guard Fred VanVleet (knee) and he will sit out Wednesday night against the Detroit Pistons. VanVleet suffered a bruised knee in Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, but it does not appear to be serious. The 18 minutes VanVleet was receiving per game will likely be divided between […]
