Bam Adebayo Remains Absent

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo is still away from the team as of Friday. The big man has until Sunday to clear the league's health and safety protocols.

Mike Zunino Taking The Day Off Friday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Mike Zunino is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Chicago White Sox on the road. Zunino and catcher Francisco Mejia have alternated starts behind the dish for the Rays to begin the season, so Mejia will get the nod on Friday and hit ninth against White Sox right-hander […]

Jarrett Allen Will Suit Up On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (finger) is expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Allen has been out for over a month, but will make his return to the court for their win or go home matchup. Fantasy managers should expect Allen to be in the starting five and to play […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Remains Uncertain For Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is listed as a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has been playing through his ankle issue lately, but we'll see if he can give it a go on Friday. Otherwise, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot would be in line for more playing time. Although, Kevin Huerter and […]

Byron Buxton Injured Friday

Stephen Curry Likely To Suit Up For Game 1

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (foot) is reportedly looking good ahead of Saturday's Game 1 matchup. The organization mentioned that Curry looked fine during Thursday's scrimmage. Head coach Steve Kerr is hopeful Curry plays, but the team will likely wait until the last minute to make it official. Obviously, the Warriors chances of winning […]

Paul George Won't Play Versus Pelicans

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George has been ruled out for Friday's win-or-go-home matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. The All-Star forward will sit out due to the league's health and safety protocols after testing positive for COVID-19. This is obviously a huge blow to the Clippers, but this team is used to playing without […]

Guardians Recall Josh Naylor

The Cleveland Guardians have recalled outfielder Josh Naylor (ankle) from the 10-day injured list on Friday.

Naylor missed most of last season due to a major ankle injury, but he […]

Carson Kelly To Sit Out On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Mets.

Sammy Watkins Not A Lock To Make Final Roster

Brandon Nimmo, Mark Canha Test Positive For COVID-19

New York Mets outfielders Brandon Nimmo and Mark Canha are out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
