Andreas Athanasiou Placed On Injured Reserve

Los Angeles Kings winger Andreas Athanasiou (undisclosed) has been placed on Injured Reserve, retroactive to March 10, and he will miss an extended period. This is very unfortunate news, as the 27-year-old had really come to life in recent outings, scoring in three straight contests. Sadly, he hasn't managed to stay healthy the whole season […]

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Tyson Barrie (upper body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is set to re-enter the lineup on Saturday against Tampa Bay.

It's a tough […]

Jalen Brunson Questionable On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson (thigh) has a chance to play during Sunday's outing against Boston.

Rem Pitlick Promoted To Second Line

Montreal Canadiens forward Rem Pitlick is set to center the second line in Saturday's meeting with Seattle. The move comes after the 24-year-old impressed with a three-point performance in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to Vancouver. He's posted 13 points overall in 21 outings since Montreal picked him up on Jan. 12 Pitlick will skate with Mike […]

Victor Oladipo Resting Against T-Wolves

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (rest) won't participate in Saturday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. With Miami playing its second consecutive outing, the veteran will get the night off. Nonetheless, Oladipo hasn't played much since returning from knee surgery, so his absence likely won't cause much of a rift in the fantasy realm. Jimmy Butler […]

Jakub Vrana Replaces Robby Fabbri On Second Line

Detroit Red Wings left wing Jakub Vrana will move up to the second line for Saturday's encounter with the Flames, replacing Robby Fabbri, who suffered a season-ending knee injury earlier in the week. Vrana will team up with Joe Veleno and Sam Gagner, who both should get a nice boost from his presence. Vrana made […]

Jimmy Butler Out For Matchup Versus Minnesota

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) won't play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night. The veteran has been in and out of the lineup as of late, and he most recently missed Wednesday's meeting with Phoenix because of a non-COVID-related illness.

Caris LeVert Out Again On Saturday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Caris LeVert (foot) won't play during Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Nevertheless, Okoro has averaged just over nine points throughout 45 starts on the year, so […]

Jakob Poeltl Dealing With A Sore Back

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl (back) isn't available for Saturday's meeting against the Pacers. The big man is currently dealing with back soreness, but with the Spurs playing its second of back-to-back games, his omission from the lineup is likely related to rest. Nevertheless, Dejounte Murray (calf) and Keldon Johnson (rest) also won't play, […]

Keldon Johnson Getting A Night Off

San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (rest) won't play versus the Pacers on Saturday. The team is playing its second of consecutive outings, so the 22-year-old will get the night off to rest. Without him, Keita Bates-Diop will likely slide into his spot in the rotation. Bates-Diop has averaged only 7.6 points through 13 starts […]

DeJounte Murray Scratched From Saturday's Lineup

San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (calf) won't suit up for Saturday's matchup against the Pacers. Murray had 27 points, nine boards, and five steals on Friday versus the Utah Jazz. However, the left calf contusion he's reportedly dealing with is apparently severe enough to keep him off the floor. Nevertheless, without Murray in the […]

Chris Conley Re-Signs With Texans

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley won't be headed far this offseason. In fact, the 29-year-old has decided to re-sign with the organization with a new one year deal.

Browns Acquire Amari Cooper

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper has been traded to the Cleveland Browns. In exchange, the Cowboys will receive a fifth round pick and the two teams will swap sixth round picks.
