Clay Guida Unsuccessful In Co-Main Event

Saturday was not the night for UFC veteran Clay Guida, who dropped the co-main event to Claudio Puelles via first-round submission. With only 3:01 of fight time, there wasn't much to speak of from a statistical standpoint. Guida landed three significant strikes (four total strikes) while missing his lone takedown try. While tied up with […]

Liam Hendriks Dealing With Back Tightness

Chicago White Sox closer Liam Hendriks (back) is dealing with some back tightness, according to White Sox manager Tony La Russa. He received treatment for the injury after Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Hendriks earned the loss in Sunday's game. He pitched a clean ninth inning, but was shelled in the 10th inning of […]

P.J. Tucker Active For Game 4, Will Start

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) is available on Sunday evening versus Atlanta. The 36-year-old wasn't expected to sit out for this one, primarily since the ailment hasn't forced the veteran to miss a game yet during the postseason. He's averaging 10 points, six boards, and two assists throughout the postseason, and considering Bam Adebayo's […]

Claudio Puelles Shines With First-Round Victory

On the biggest stage of his career thus far, Claudio Puelles shined in the night's co-main event by earning a first-round submission over seasoned veteran Clay Guida on Saturday night. Statistically, there isn't much to speak of with the contest only going 3:01, but Puelles collected one significant strike (11 total strikes) while maintaining 14 […]

Bam Adebayo Officially Active Against The Hawks

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (quadriceps) will suit up for Game 4 of the postseason series against Atlanta. The big man has been battling a quad contusion. However, he was never in any real danger of missing this one. Nonetheless, Adebayo has struggled mightily throughout the playoffs, averaging only 9.3 points. While his decreased DFS […]

Gabe Vincent Will Suit Up Versus Atlanta

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (toe) will play on Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks. The 25-year-old has consistently been on the league's official injury report throughout the series, although he hasn't missed any time. Kyle Lowry (hamstring) isn't available for Game 4, and while Erik Spoelstra has remained non-committal regarding Vincent's role, he will likely […]

Montana De La Rosa Takes Decision Loss Saturday

Unable to build off of her first-round knockout win last June, Montana De La Rosa walked out of Saturday's event on the losing side of a unanimous decision against Maycee Barber. In 15 minutes of action, De La Rosa collected only 14 significant strikes (41 total strikes) and only landed one of her two takedown […]

Alex Caruso Being Evaluated For A Concussion

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (head) didn't return to Sunday's playoff loss to Milwaukee after being struck in the face during the second quarter. Although the Bulls haven't released any further details, he underwent an evaluation for a concussion. With the Bucks taking a commanding 3-1 lead in the series, losing Caruso wouldn't be ideal […]

Maycee Barber Continues To Get Back On Track

It was the striking display that guided Maycee Barber to back-to-back wins when she earned a unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) over Montana De La Rosa on Saturday night. In 15 minutes of action, Barber tallied 50 significant strikes (80 total strikes) while only landing one of her four takedown tries on the night. Barber […]

Frank Ntilikina Questionable For Game 5

Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) is questionable ahead of Monday's playoff meeting against Utah. The 23-year-old hasn't seen any action since the beginning of April after undergoing a tonsillectomy. Yet, with Luka Doncic recently returning from a calf strain, Ntilikina shouldn't get any playing time if he is available, despite the chance he could […]

Lando Vannata Unable To Escape First Round

Now 3-3 in the Octagon since 2019, Lando Vannata had his night come to an early end Saturday in a first-round submission loss. With only 2:32 of total action logged, it makes it difficult to get a good stat line. With that said, Vannata only tallied eight significant strikes. Vannata was floored by a big […]

Clint Capela To Make Series Debut

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (knee) will play on Sunday evening against Miami. The 27-year-old hasn't been available since hyperextending his right knee during the play-in tournament. Nonetheless, it's likely Capela won't see his usual workload, although he should see the floor enough to take Onyeka Okongwu out of DFS consideration in all formats.

Kyle Lowry Won't Play On Sunday Night

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) isn't available for Sunday's playoff showdown against Atlanta. The veteran strained his left hamstring during the Game 3 loss to Atlanta and was considered questionable heading into this one. However, those who have been following the situation know Lowry didn't practice on Saturday and was seen limping around the […]

Ben Simmons Won't Debut In Game 4

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) won't play during the postseason meeting against Boston. Simmons was initially targeting this game to make his debut after battling a herniated disk in his back. However, the former 76er began experiencing soreness on Sunday, so he won't be out there for the must-win Game 4. As a result, […]

Carey Price Set To Sit Out Two Games

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will sit out Sunday's game against Boston and also won't travel to New York to face the Rangers on Wednesday. He's only just made his season debut and has played a lot of games lately, so interim head coach Martin St. Louis wants to give Price a break. Price sadly […]

Mattias Janmark Gets A Chance On First line

Vegas Golden Knights forward Mattias Janmark is set to roll with the first line Sunday against San Jose. He joined Jack Eichel and Evgenii Dadonov on the line at Saturday's practice. The Swedish forward has gained some offensive rhythm lately with five points in six games, boosting his overall tally for the season to 25 […]

Nick Bjugstad Moves To First Line With Mats Zuccarello Injured

Minnesota Wild forward Nick Bjugstad will replace Mats Zuccarello (lower body) on the first line Sunday against Nashville. Minnesota also reminds without Marcus Foligno (COVID-19 protocols) and Jordan Greenway (upper body), so Bjugstad makes a jump from the third line to the first. It's a very cozy spot for him, as Kirill Kaprizov has kept […]

John Tavares Rested On Sunday

Toronto Maple Leafs center John Tavares will sit out Sunday's game versus Washington for rest purposes. The team is finishing off a back-to-back set and apparently doesn't want to push Tavares too much with very little at stake in the final few games of the regular season. The Maple Leafs captain has enjoyed a solid […]

David Pastrnak, Hampus Lindholm Sit Out Sunday's Contest

Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak and defenseman Hampus Lindholm won't play Sunday against Montreal. Both players returned from injury in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Rangers and Boston is happy to rest them on Sunday. Pastrnak had a nice comeback game with a goal and an assist and now has 73 points for the […]

Jansen Harkins Replaces Injured Zach Sanford On Second Line

Winnipeg Jets winger Jansen Harkins is set to join the second line for Sunday's matchup against the Avalanche. He will replace Zach Sanford (undisclosed). Harkins typically plays very little and even logged just 4:31 in Thursday's 4-2 loss to Carolina, so this is a major move for the 24-year-old. He'll have an opportunity to impress […]

Nate Schmidt Sidelined For Sunday

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Nate Schmidt is dealing with an undisclosed injury and won't play in Sunday's game against Colorado. Logan Stanley will take over from him and skate with Neal Pionk. Schmidt has been anonymous offensively lately, but he's had a solid campaign overall with 32 points in 74 games. 11 of his points have […]

Daniel Bard Dealing With Back Issue

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Daniel Bard (back) has been dealing with a back issue, according to Rockies beat writer Danielle Allentuck. The reliever hasn't pitched since April 19 and the team turned to Alex Colome for the save in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. Allentuck reported that Bard's back issue isn't […]
