Anthony Edwards Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This doesn't come as a surprise after Edwards was forced to exit early on Friday. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely be given the starting nod if Edwards isn't able to suit up on Sunday.

Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Should We Consider Betting On Christopher Bell This Weekend At Las Vegas?

After crashing out of last week's race at Atlanta, Christopher Bell bounced back on Saturday afternoon by qualifying 10th for the Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube.

How Much Exposure Should You Have To Bubba Wallace This Weekend?

Coming off of back-to-back fifth-place finishes, Bubba Wallace will look to continue his momentum on Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where he will start fifth in the Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube.

John Hunter Nemechek Will Start 27th At Las Vegas Motor Speedway

On Saturday afternoon, John Hunter Nemechek qualified 27th for Sunday's Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube.

Stone Garrett Making Progress From Leg Injury

Washington Nationals outfielder Stone Garrett is doing well in his recovery from a gruesome leg and ankle injury he suffered in August of last season. The 28-year-old broke his left fibula and injured his ankle while making a leaping catch against the New York Yankees in the Bronx on Aug. 23. He has been participating […]

Just How Good Is Denny Hamlin On Low Tire-Wear Tracks?

Denny Hamlin will start 28th in Sunday's Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube. Throughout his Cup career, Las Vegas Motor Speedway has been a good track for the 20-year Cup veteran. While a driver's past success at a track can sometimes be misleading, particularly given how the sport changed with the introduction of the NextGen […]

Will Brennan Makes Swing Changes

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Will Brennan has made changes to his swing that include lowering his hands and working on a new loading pattern to aid his left-handed swing.

Ty Gibbs will start eighth at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Sunday's Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube.

Raiders In Play For Justin Fields

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the likely teams left in the sweepstakes for Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields are the Pittsburgh Steelers and Las Vegas Raiders. Unless the Bears wait for Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent Kirk Cousins to sign, they might just take the Steelers' best offer in a trade. However, the Raiders, in their […]

Erik Jones Starts 22nd From Vegas On Sunday

Erik Jones has had a bit of an adjustment with his Toyota car for Legacy Motor Club. Starting off 37th at Atlanta probably was not ideal but he did improve 12 positions. It may be a little harder doing that at Las Vegas on Sunday beginning 22nd. Jones' best result was an eighth in the […]

Alex Bowman Is A Core Play At Las Vegas

On Saturday morning, Alex Bowman qualified 23rd for the Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube.

Over his last […]

Caris LeVert Might Miss Another Game

Cleveland Cavaliers guard/forward Caris LeVert (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the New York Knicks. He didn't play on Friday night versus Detroit because of a left elbow sprain.

Falcons Interested In Kirk Cousins

The Atlanta Falcons are clearly seeking a quarterback upgrade this offseason over Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke.

Harrison Burton Way Off Pace At Las Vegas

Harrison Burton has not qualified well at Las Vegas. The last couple races were near the final position. On Saturday, he turned in a lap more than 1.4 seconds off the pole of Joey Logano. The Wood Brothers Racing driver is on the hot seat and starting 36th is not ideal (33rd and 35th last […]

Donovan Mitchell Questionable Versus The Knicks

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Knicks. Mitchell is just dealing with knee soreness, so it doesn't appear he is in line to miss an extended period. However, it's still not an ideal scenario for fantasy managers. The 27-year-old wasn't in the lineup on Friday night versus […]

Chris Buescher Starts Ninth At Las Vegas

Chris Buescher and the RFK Racing team got in a few solid runs on Saturday in the heavy winds. Buescher and his No. 17 Ford will start ninth on Sunday after a solid 29.52 second lap in the final round of qualifying. Buescher was right around the top ten or so cars in practice and […]
