Maulet […]

Danny Green Remains Sidelined For Sunday’s Game

Philadelphia 76ers small forward Danny Green (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Magic as he continues to work his way back from a laceration on his left middle finger. Green's absence among the second unit paves the way for Shake Milton, Furkan Korkmaz, and Isaiah Joe to take on slightly elevated […]

Jesse Chavez Joins The Cubs

Free-agent relief pitcher Jesse Chavez has agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Chavez spent the 2021 season with the Atlanta Braves, where he went 3-2 with a 2.14 ERA and 1.01 WHIP while striking out 36 and walking 11 in 30 appearances (four starts) over 33 2/3 innings pitched. The […]

Jalen Suggs, Mo Bamba Questionable To Suit Up Sunday

Orlando Magic point/shooting guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) and center Mo Bamba (calf) have been tagged as questionable to play in Sunday's game against Philadelphia. Both players were able to take the floor Friday, although Suggs has missed two outings over the past 10 days due to an ankle ailment. Bamba's status is arguably more relevant […]

De'Aaron Fox Posts Enormous 41-Point Double-Double In Defeat

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox took on elevated offensive duties during Saturday's loss to the Jazz without Domantas Sabonis (personal) in the mix and parlayed that role into a 41-point, 11-assist outing that ranks as arguably his best of the year. Fox tied his season high with 32 shot attempts, 15 of which he […]

Matt Strahm Joins Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox signed free-agent relief pitcher Matt Strahm to a $3 million deal on Sunday. Strahm had a rough 2021 campaign, throwing only 6 2/3 innings due to right knee inflammation while allowing six earned runs in six outings for the San Diego Padres.

Triston Casas Invited To Big-League Camp

Jordan Clarkson Drops Career-High 45 Points In Win Saturday

Since joining the Utah Jazz, point guard Jordan Clarkson has emerged as one of the league's most consistent scoring options off the bench.

Nationals Interested In Anibal Sanchez

The Washington Nationals are interested in bringing free-agent starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez back after his impressive showcase on Saturday. The 38-year-old right-hander received an offer 10 minutes after his showcase on Saturday, that's how impressive he was. Sanchez didn't sign a contract last year because he didn't think the offers he received were substantial enough. […]

Josh Hart Erupts For Career-High 44-Point Showing Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers small forward Josh Hart had far and away the best offensive night of his career to this point during Saturday's victory over Washington. Hart, whose previous career high in scoring was 30 points, sizzled en route to a 44-point performance on 15-for-21 shooting overall. To cap off one of the more all-around […]

Brad Hand On The Mets Radar

Free-agent relief pitcher Brad Hand is on the New York Mets radar. The Mets are trying to add a good left-handed reliever to a strong righty-heavy bullpen before spring training. Andrew Chafin is another possibility for New York. Hand pitched for three teams last year, including the Mets. In his 16 appearances (13 1/3 innings) […]

Klay Thompson Splashes Season-Best Eight Threes, 38 Points

Golden State Warriors small forward Klay Thompson had his entire offensive arsenal firing during Saturday's win over the Bucks as he set new season highs with 38 points and eight made triples. While Stephen Curry was held under wraps for a season-low eight points, Thompson became the focal point and shot 15-for-24 overall, all while […]

Padres One Of Many Teams In On Nelson Cruz

The San Diego Padres are one of many teams in on free-agent designated hitter Nelson Cruz, who is expected to make his decision this weekend. Padres general manager AJ Preller has the connection to Cruz from their time with the Texas Rangers, where Cruz became a star. Almost all contending teams in the National League […]

Christian Wood On Track To Return For Sunday’s Game

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (illness) is expected to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Pelicans, ending a three-game stint on the sidelines due to an illness. Alperen Sengun was the primary beneficiary of Wood's absence, with the rookie likely to revert to his role among the second unit. Wood was enjoying an uptick […]

Luke Maile Signs With Guardians

The Cleveland Guardians agreed to a minor league deal with free-agent catcher Luke Maile on Saturday that will pay him $900,000 if he's in the major leagues.

Alex Colome Agrees With Rockies

The Colorado Rockies agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent relief pitcher Alex Colome on Saturday night, according to a source. The Rockies added Colome, shortstop Jose Iglesias and outfielder Scott Schebler on a busy Saturday.

Niko Goodrum Joins Astros

The Houston Astros signed free-agent infielder Niko Goodrum on Saturday to a $2.1 million deal plus incentives. Goodrum will most likely serve as a utility infielder for the Astros after he slashed .232/.306/.401 with 42 home runs, 151 RBI and 45 stolen bases for the Detroit Tigers in a four-year span from 2018-21. In 2021, […]

Jeurys Familia Signs With Phillies

The Philadelphia Phillies signed free-agent relief pitcher Jeurys Familia to a $6 million deal on Saturday night. The 31-year-old right-hander has plenty of experience in the ninth inning in his 10-year major league career, as he's saved 125 games in 498 2/3 innings pitched. Familia had just one save for the New York Mets in […]

Malik Beasley (PG/SG, MIN): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: Malik Beasley has played 67 games this season. In other words, Malik Beasley has appeared in all but one game this season for the Wolves. Not only is he playing, but he's also getting his fair 25 MPG over the year. And […]

Jonathan Kuminga (SF/PF, GSW): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: We're getting closer to watching Draymond Green getting back to the court but given Golden State's current position in the standings (almost locked into the no. 3 seed) and the fact that there are only 15 games left on the schedule, would […]

Luke Kennard (SG, LAC): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: As much as it pains me, it looks like Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are really going to miss the full regular season and most probably the playoffs, delaying the Clips' chances at a deep postseason run one more year. The positive […]

Alec Burks (SG, NYK): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of leagues ANALYSIS: As ridiculous as it sounds, HC Tom Thibodeau has turned clear-cut wing Alec Burks into a point guard. I am not saying it has worked, no sir, but Thibs is so stubborn that he's just forcing this square peg into a round […]

Immanuel Quickley (PG/SG, NYK): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: Are the Knicks tanking, or are the Knicks fighting for that play-in berth? Hard to tell with this wreck of a coach handling the rotation in Tom Thibodeau. If you ask me, I'd say the Knicks have found the sweet spot at […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: I guess when you have LeBron James playing for your side you're inevitably going to fall on some lucky Ws throughout the regular season.

Bruce Brown (SG/SF/PF, BKN): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's fascinating how this deep into the season writing about the Los Angeles Lakers and about the Brooklyn Nets is virtually the same, and entirely because of the wrong reasons. Anyway, we're here to discuss a bona fide positive the Nets found […]

Mason Plumlee (PF/C, CHA): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hornets traded for Montrezl Harrell this past deadline. Although overall Harrell's minutes haven't gone down from those he was getting in Washington, they have cratered in March with three games at just 17 MP. Mason Plumlee has remained the big-boy paint-linchpin […]
