Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (knee) finished with 20 points and 12 assists in Saturday's loss to the Washington Wizards. Cunningham returned after an eight-game absence because of a knee injury. Although he managed to amass a double-double, he shot a rough 7-for-17 from the field. The 22-year-old also had seven turnovers. At any rate, […]

Paul George Questionable Again On Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (groin) is questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics.

However, he was on the floor, ending the night with 21 points, two blocks, and a steal. George […]

Kyrie Irving Unlikely To Play Against Sacramento

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (thumb) is doubtful for Saturday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings. Irving will likely miss a third consecutive outing as the multi-time All-Star continues to deal with a sprained right thumb. Luka Doncic (ankle), coming off a 73-point outing on Friday against Atlanta, would normally absorb most of the scoring opportunities. […]

Luka Doncic Questionable Against The Kings

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable moving toward Saturday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings. Kyrie Irving (thumb) wasn't available for Friday's win over the Atlanta Hawks. However, it didn't matter, with Doncic finishing that one with 73 points, the fourth-most in NBA history. But he also logged 45 minutes, so there's a good […]

Jake Moody A Top Option In NFC Championship

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody will look to keep a mostly successful postseason going smoothly when the team faces the Detroit Lions at home in the NFC Championship Game.

George Kittle Looks To Keep Rolling In Title Game

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle played a key role in the team's 24-21 victory over the Green Bay Packers last week, posting four catches on seven targets for 81 yards and a touchdown.

Brandon Aiyuk Poised For Production In Championship Game

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will be a popular DFS play this Sunday when the team hosts the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship game, and for good reason. Detroit finished the regular season as the third-most generous defense to wide receivers in half-PPR scoring. Their worst performances were also the most recent, […]

Zach Collins Questionable Against Minnesota

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's dealing with right ankle soreness. However, the 26-year-old logged 18 minutes on Friday versus the Portland Trail Blazers, so he could miss the second of back-to-back contests. Victor Wembanyama isn't on the injury report, meaning […]

Victor Wembanyama Not Listed On The Injury Report

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Victor Wembanyama isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rookie routinely misses one of the two games in back-to-back outings. However, with the Spurs reporting easing up on his minutes restriction, it appears he'll be in the lineup on Saturday. Wembanyama is coming […]

Jabari Smith Jr. Out Again On Saturday

Houston Rockets forward Jabari Smith Jr. (ankle) won't suit up for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He'll now be sidelined for a fourth consecutive contest, so his next chance to return will be on Monday versus the visiting Los Angeles Lakers. The 20-year-old is averaging a career-high 13.7 points this season, meaning there will […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Not Recommended For DFS Lineups Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. hasn't been close to his prime numbers from his New York Giants or even Los Angeles Rams days. The good thing for the Ravens is that he wasn't signed to be a superstar. His experience and leadership have done wonders for the younger receiving corps, and he remains […]

Isaiah Likely May Remain Viable Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely stepped up in a huge way while Mark Andrews (ankle) missed around half of the season. Since Week 12, including the divisional game against the Houston Texans, Likely caught 23 out of 31 targets for 356 yards and six touchdowns. He's also been seeing over 11 yards per target […]

Zay Flowers Holds Mid-Level Value In AFC Championship

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has consistently hovered around WR2/WR3 territory all year, which has been amazing considering the fact that this is only his rookie year and the Ravens completely overhauled their offensive style and gameplan. Flowers normally would come in with a higher value, but the Kansas City Chiefs have been very […]

Justice Hill Ready For More Work Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has taken over the backfield over the last four games, including their Divisional game against the Houston Texans.

Gus Edwards A Risky Flex Play Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has been a touchdown-dependent fantasy option all season long and the playoff matchups are no different. In their divisional game against the Houston Texans, Justice Hill received more work out of the backfield than Edwards. Hill received three more carries and caught one more pass. That gave him 38 […]

Patriots To Interview Luke Getsy For Offensive-Coordinator Job

Zach Ertz Picking Up Lions Offense Quickly

The Detroit Lions signed veteran tight end Zach Ertz to their practice squad earlier this week, and quarterback Jared Goff doesn't see why Ertz can't play in Sunday's NFC Championship against the San Francisco 49ers. "He's picked it up extremely fast," Goff said. "He really has. Really impressive, not that you didn't expect that from […]

Chiefs Downgrade Kadarius Toney To Out

The Kansas City Chiefs have downgraded wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hip, personal) from questionable to out for Sunday's AFC Championship against the Baltimore Ravens. Toney was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, but the 25-year-old former first-rounder will miss his sixth straight game because of his hip injury. With Toney out yet again, it […]

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson gets to experience his first-ever AFC Championship game while the city of Baltimore gets to watch their team at home for the first time in the Ravens era for this big game.

San Francisco Giants right-hander Ross Stripling is working on a new pitch for the 2024 season -- the deathball, which is a type of gyro slider that is designed to drop late.
