Scotty Pippen Jr. Questionable To Face Thunder

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Scotty Pippen Jr. (shin) is questionable for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City. After being out for a month with a back problem, Pippen Jr. made his return to the lineup in Wednesday's clash with Charlotte, but he's picked up a new ailment. The 23-year-old has landed on the injury report with […]

Yordan Alvarez Exits Early Friday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (foot) left Friday's Grapefruit League contest against the Philadelphia Phillies in the first inning after fouling a ball off of his right foot. However, he was walking to the clubhouse on his own and did not seem to be in any pain. The slugger was playing left field on […]

Trey Lyles Out At Least Two Weeks

Sacramento Kings forward Trey Lyles (knee) is out for at least two weeks. He injured his left knee during Tuesday's win over Milwaukee, with further testing revealing an MCL sprain. The 28-year-old has averaged 7.1 points and 4.4 rebounds this season. Although those numbers aren't enough to keep him a relevant fantasy option, he is […]

Santi Aldama Questionable For Saturday's Game

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Santi Aldama (elbow) is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Thunder. After making 16 consecutive appearances, Aldama missed Wednesday's matchup against Charlotte with a sore left elbow. His absence provided a further boost to GG Jackson II's growing fantasy stock. The 19-year-old rookie led his team with 26 points against the […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Iffy For Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) might be out for another game on Saturday against Oklahoma City, as the team has listed him as questionable on the injury report. The NBA's reigning Defensive Player of the Year has already been unavailable for the past two games. Trey Jemison has picked up a pair of […]

Cristopher Sanchez Gets Rocked Friday

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sanchez was knocked around in a Grapefruit League start against the Houston Astros on Friday. The 27-year-old lasted just 2 1/3 innings while giving up four earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out a pair. It was just his second start of the spring after he tossed […]

Jerami Grant Unlikely To Play Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) is considered as doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This absence would mark the third game in a row that Grant has missed due to a right hamstring strain. The Blazers are likely to be thin at the forward spot with Jabari Walker (hip) […]

Desmond Bane Listed As Questionable For Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane (ankle) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Saturday's clash with the Thunder. It's a sign Bane could be ready to rejoin the action after missing two months with a left ankle sprain. Bane will likely be eased into action once he's back in the lineup. But […]

Paul DeJong Plays Long Ball Friday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Paul DeJong slugged his third homer of the spring as part of a 3-2 win over the Chicago Cubs in Cactus League action on Friday. Signed to a one-year deal by the White Sox this offseason, DeJong is up to a .297 average with 13 RBI and a stolen base to […]

Anfernee Simons Considered Probable For Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (knee) is listed as probable ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He'll look to make his return to the court after sitting out of Thursday's game due to a knee issue. Scoot Henderson figures to head back to the second unit if Simons is back on […]

Dean Wade Available To Return On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade (personal) is expected to return to action in Saturday's matchup against Houston. Following a three-game absence, Wade rejoined practice on Friday and isn't on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game. With Evan Mobley (ankle) missing from the frontcourt, Wade made two consecutive starts before exiting the lineup for personal […]

George Springer Goes Deep Friday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer slugged a solo home run as part of his team's 9-6 loss to the Detroit Tigers in Grapefruit League action on Friday. The long ball was the veteran's second of the spring in what has been a prosperous start to Springer's 2024 season. He is hitting .318 (7-for-22) with […]

Max Strus Sitting Out Another Game On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Max Strus (knee) won't be available for a seventh consecutive contest on Saturday against Houston. He's been kept off the court by a right knee strain. Isaac Okoro should continue to play a larger role with Strus on the shelf, although the return of Donovan Mitchell limits his impact on the offensive […]

Nestor Cortes Gets Opening Day Start

New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes has been tabbed as the club's Opening Day starter against the Houston Astros on the road on March 28. It was recently reported that Marcus Stroman did not wish to alter his spring schedule to line up for Opening Day, and manager Aaron Boone said Carlos Rodon was not […]

Steelers Signing Van Jefferson

The Pittsburgh Steelers are signing free-agent wide receiver Van Jefferson to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday. After the trade of receiver Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers this week, the move to sign Jefferson will give new quarterback Russell Wilson a new weapon alongside George Pickens and Calvin Austin III. The 27-year-old former second-round […]

The Rivalry We Need - McIlroy vs. Spieth

Professional golf is at its best when competition and conflict takes place on the golf course between competitors, rather than between suits on conference calls. Nicklaus vs. Trevino. Tiger vs. Phil. Brooks vs. Bryson. The concept of fans choosing sides, players fueling a rivalry with genuine distaste, and the media throwing gas on the narratives […]

Marvin Bagley III Set To Miss Sixth Consecutive Game

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (back) won't be ready to return to action on Saturday against Chicago. The 25-year-old will miss a sixth consecutive game due to lower back spasms. Luckily for the Wizards, Richaun Holmes (toe) looks to be on the mend and a possibility for Saturday's matchup after being tagged as questionable […]

Keenan Allen Traded To Bears: Fantasy Football Impact

Star wide receiver Keenan Allen has been one of the more underrated players in the NFL over the past few years. He spent the first 11 years of his career with the Los Angeles Chargers, playing for the franchise since their days in San Diego. However, the team reportedly asked Allen to take a pay […]

Matisse Thybulle Questionable For Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Blazers are seemingly banged up everywhere ahead of this matchup. Thybulle hasn't been a great scoring option for them, but he has been a reliable defensive player. His absence would probably mean more minutes […]

Landry Shamet To Remain Out On Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (calf) will miss a third consecutive game on Saturday versus Chicago. He's dealing with a calf strain, meaning it's looking likely Shamet won't be available for Sunday's clash with Boston either. With Tyus Jones (back) and Deni Avdija (knee) also possibly out on Saturday, Washington's rotation could look very unusual. […]

Coby White Unlikely To Play On Saturday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (hip) is considered doubtful ahead of Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. White was unable to suit up for Thursday's game due to a right hip strain. If he sits, Torrey Craig figures to move into the starting five which should give him a boost in fantasy value. Ayo Dosunmu […]

Chargers Expected To Target Receiver In NFL Draft

After the Los Angeles Chargers traded wide receiver Keenan Allen to the Chicago Bears on Thursday night and released Mike Williams this week, they are fully expected to pursue receiving help in the upcoming NFL draft. Allen is the franchise's all-time leading receiver in yards and catches, trailing only tight end Antonio Gates overall. The […]

Kawhi Leonard, Paul George Expected To Play On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (back) and guard Paul George (knee) have been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. There was some uncertainty that the two superstars would sit given it's the second night of a back-to-back set. Despite that, both players are expected to suit […]

James Harden Remains Out On Friday

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) will sit out a second consecutive game on Friday against New Orleans. The former MVP has sustained a left shoulder strain, relinquishing his starter's spot to Bones Hyland. Hyland produced a nice 17-point, 11-assist double-double on Thursday versus Chicago, adding five rebounds and four steals. He should be […]

Marquise Brown Signs With Chiefs: Fantasy Football Impact

Veteran wide receiver Marquise Brown signed a one-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday. Brown hopes to follow JuJu Smith-Schuster’s footprints by playing on a one-year deal with the Chiefs and earning a multi-year big-money contract the following offseason. The former Oklahoma star spent the first three years of his career with the […]

Kyle Anderson Could Miss Saturday's Game

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Anderson was able to play on Friday but has been dealing with a lingering shoulder issue. His absence would be important considering he has been starting in place of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) lately. Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely […]

Eric Gordon Returns To Suns Lineup Friday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Eric Gordon (knee) will return from a two-game absence on Friday versus Charlotte. The veteran sniper has recovered from a left knee contusion. Gordon's addition boosts the quality of Phoenix's second unit, which remains without Josh Okogie (abdomen). The 2017 NBA Sixth Man of the Year has been in a shooting slump […]

Rudy Gobert Tagged As Questionable For Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man was forced to exit early on Tuesday after taking a hit during the fourth quarter. The Wolves would be thin with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) already sidelined. Naz Reid would be asked to play big […]

Buccaneers Sign Ben Bredeson

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed former New York Giants offensive guard Ben Bredeson to a one-year deal worth up to $3.5 million on Friday, according to a source. The former Baltimore Ravens' fourth-round pick in 2020 out of Michigan started a career-high 16 games in his third season for the Giants last year. The 26-year-old […]

Gary Trent Jr. Available On Friday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (groin) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Trent is back in the mix following a two-game absence due to a right groin strain. The expectation is that Trent will move back into the starting five, which should shift Gradey Dick to the second unit. However, […]
