The Top Five Longest Championship Droughts in NBA History

For some NBA teams, winning championships have become a norm. Some fans have grown accustomed to seeing certain teams face off in the NBA Finals just because they've been winning the cup for a certain number of years. However, some teams have yet to win a championship since joining the league. And for some, it […]

Alexis Diaz Strikes Out The Side In Spring Debut

Cincinnati Reds closer Alexis Diaz made his spring debut on Thursday in a 5-4 Cactus League win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 2023 All-Star struck out the side on nine pitches, generating six swing-and-misses, and the final to go down swinging was none other than perennial MVP candidate Mookie Betts. It looks like Diaz […]

Tari Eason To Undergo Season-Ending Surgery

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) is set to undergo season-ending surgery on Monday, according to head coach Ime Udoka.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) was forced to exit late in the fourth quarter during Friday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Spencer Steer Goes Hitless Saturday, Draws A Walk

Cincinnati Reds multi-positional player Spencer Steer was 0-for-2 with a walk in a 10-4 Cactus League loss to the Colorado Rockies on Saturday.

Yandy Diaz Off To A Cold Start

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz went 0-for-3 on Saturday in a 3-2 Grapefruit League loss to the Boston Red Sox. Last year's AL batting champ is now 1-for-9 with three strikeouts through four spring games. The 2023 Silver Slugger Award winner has a strong offensive profile, with his chase rate, Hard-Hit%, and average […]

Dansby Swanson Gets On Base Again Saturday

Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson went 1-for-3 in an 8-5 Cactus League loss on Saturday. That makes him 2-for-7 in the spring with a run scored. The 2x All-Star also has three walks, putting his OBP at .500 (5-for-10). He's been on base via hit or walk in each of his first four spring games. […]

Kyle Larson the Heavy Favorite to Win at Las Vegas

Kyle Larson entered the Pennzoil 400 race weekend as the heavy favorite to take the win according to all sportsbooks, and nothing has changed after practice and qualifying on Saturday. Larson didn't get the pole for this weekend's race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, but he will start from second-place, which is the position that […]

William Byron Super Fast Once Again at Las Vegas

William Byron is the defending Pennzoil 400 race winner, and the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports team has picked up right where they left off a year ago at Las Vegas. In that race, Byron went to victory lane after starting second, leading 176 laps along the way and posting 59 fastest laps as well. He […]

Kyle Busch Has High DFS Upside and Great Track Record at Las Vegas

Kyle Busch will roll off the starting grid from 21st in this weekend's Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, immediately making him an attractive option for DFS players due to his place differential upside. Add in Busch's track record here at Las Vegas and we may be looking at a slam dunk. Rowdy has […]

Martin Truex Jr. A Good DFS Pivot Pick at Las Vegas

At $9,300 on DraftKings this weekend, Martin Truex Jr. is respectably priced, but he will likely go under-owned compared to his potential on Sunday. That's because right below Truex in the driver salary list are Ross Chastain and Tyler Reddick, who both have significantly higher place differential upside than Truex, who qualified seventh for the […]

Joey Logano Wins Pole at Las Vegas But Has Speed Concerns

Joey Logano has the best seat in the house for the start of the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend, as the Penske Racing driver won the pole during qualifying on Saturday by turning a lap of 29.291 seconds. He edged out Kyle Larson for the qualifying win, who is the most […]

Ross Chastain Starts Mid-Pack at Las Vegas But Can Contend

Look for Ross Chastain to contend for a good finish in the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend. Chastain's No. 1 Chevrolet was fast right off of the truck on Saturday, ranking fastest in opening practice. He went on to qualify 20th later that afternoon, which was a bit surprising. However, in […]

Ryan Blaney Starts 15th, Has Top-10 Potential at Las Vegas

Ryan Blaney will roll off the starting grid from 15th-place for this weekend's Pennzoil 400, his lowest starting position in the five NextGen races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Although the No. 12 Ford didn't have the most speed in it during qualifying on Saturday, there is still top 10 upside for the defending series […]

Brad Keselowski Lacks Speed But Has Great Las Vegas Record

One driver to keep an eye on this weekend is Brad Keselowski. The No. 6 Ford lacked speed during practice and qualifying on Saturday afternoon, as Keselowski was just 23rd-fastest in five-lap average and then went and qualified 25th for this weekend's Pennzoil 400 race. With that being said, his record here at Las Vegas […]

Tyler Reddick A Core DFS Pick at Las Vegas

Tyler Reddick is a driver that you should be building your DFS lineups around at Las Vegas this weekend. The 23XI driver qualified back in 18th-place for this weekend's Pennzoil 400, giving him great upside for place differential in addition to a good finish. In practice on Saturday, Reddick had one of the faster cars […]

Michael McDowell Feels Good About Vegas But Is Very Risky DFS Pick

The speed of Michael McDowell and Front Row Motorsports as a whole has been a big topic early on in the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season, and it looks as though we will be continuing to talk about it for the time being. McDowell's No. 34 Ford was the 11th-fastest car during practice on Saturday […]

Zane Smith Should Lag Teammates But Will Still Benefit from Speed Increase

Although Zane Smith will likely get a boost from the improved Chevrolet investment into Spire Motorsports for 2024, don't expect Smith to seriously compete with teammates Carson Hocevar and Corey LaJoie for team supremacy. Although the triumvirate competed for different teams in 2023, Hocevar's speed percentile on intermediates last year was 42.38 to LaJoie's 28.12 […]

Corey LaJoie Benefiting from Increased Factory Backing

With Chevrolet investing substantially more into Spire Motorsports than it has in previous years, the Spire cars were immediately faster than usual in practice and qualifying this weekend at Las Vegas with Carson Hocevar ranking 13th-fastest and Corey LaJoie ranking 15th-fastest in practice. LaJoie did out-qualify Hocevar by .038 seconds but will be starting worse […]

Carson Hocevar Immediately Competitive with Cup Veterans on Intermediates

In his first full-time race on a standard NASCAR Cup Series track, Carson Hocevar qualified 14th and will be the highest-starting Spire Motorsports driver in Sunday's race, although Corey LaJoie technically outqualified him but will be starting worse because he was in a more competitive group in the first round of qualifying. The 21-year-old wunderkind […]

Noah Gragson's Subpar Intermediate Speed Should Cost Him at Las Vegas

Noah Gragson is a big question mark in 2024, especially on intermediates like this weekend's race at Las Vegas. Although Gragson shockingly had the second-fastest lap and fifth-fastest average speed in practice, he only qualified 30th. On intermediate tracks in 2023, Gragson posted an abysmal speed percentile of 17.90 and they were Gragson's worst track […]

Austin Dillon Too Slow on Intermediates to Seriously Contend

Austin Dillon surprisingly outqualified his teammate Kyle Busch for this weekend's Las Vegas NASCAR Cup Series race, but don't expect him to seriously contend in the race. In 2024 thus far, Kyle Busch has an average speed percentile of 87.90, which ranks 5th in the Cup Series, while Dillon at 9.38 is last among full-timers. […]
