Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center LeBron James continued his stretch of dominance during an overtime victory Friday over the Raptors, in which he stacked up 36 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists across 45 minutes.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Garrett Whitlock is in contention for the final rotation spot this spring with veteran Rich Hill.

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton got up to his double-double ways again during Friday's win over the Bulls, compiling 20 points and 12 rebounds despite playing just 24 minutes due to the nature of the victory.

Zack Wheeler To Throw Bullpen Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session on Sunday, and manager Joe Girardi won't rule him out yet from starting the regular season on time, especially if MLB allows expanded rosters to open the season. Girardi mentioned the possibility of piggy-backing Wheeler with another pitcher early in April. Wheeler recently […]

Jack Flaherty's Injury Isn't New

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (shoulder) said "the small tear" in his right shoulder is not "new" and that he has "pitched with it for years." Flaherty said the platelet-rich plasma injection in his shoulder was for inflammation. Regardless, he has been ruled out for Opening Day with the arm issue and has […]

Jayson Tatum Drills Seven Triples In Convincing Victory

Boston Celtics small/power forward Jayson Tatum was wildly efficient during Friday's drubbing of the Kings, going 12-for-16 overall from the field -- including 7-for-10 from behind the arc -- en route to a 32-point performance. Tatum also pitched in five boards and four assists, as he is now on pace to set a new career […]

Astros, Rangers, Yankees In The Mix For Trevor Story

Free-agent shortstop Trevor Story has multiple new suitors as the last great free-agent shortstop remaining after the Minnesota Twins signed Carlos Correa on Saturday morning. The Houston Astros, Texas Rangers and New York Yankees have joined the mix alongside the Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants. Story would prefer to play shortstop, though, and […]

Richaun Holmes Will Miss Remainder Of 2021-22 Season

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (personal) has been ruled out for the rest of the year due to personal reasons. Holmes concludes the season having averaged 10.4 points and seven rebounds across 45 games (37 starts), all while shooting a career-best 66% overall. Domantas Sabonis' arrival figured to complicate Holmes' role down the stretch, but […]

Kenley Jansen To Be Braves Primary Closer

Relief pitcher Kenley Jansen will be the Atlanta Braves primary closer after signing to a one-year, $16 million deal on Friday night. Left-handed reliever Will Smith is fine with the move and told general manager Alex Anthopoulous that he just wants to win another World Series ring. It's obviously a big hit to Smith's fantasy […]

Christian Wood Delivers Dominant Double-Double In Defeat

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood had arguably his best all-around outing of the year during Friday's loss to the Pacers, as he racked up 32 points, 13 rebounds, and a career-high seven assists. Wood was tremendously efficient, as well, shooting 11-for-14 overall, including going 4-for-6 from behind the arc, marking his third game this month […]

Joel Embiid Packs Stat Sheet In Dominant 32-Point Outing

Following Friday's win over Dallas, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid sits firmly in pole position to not only potentially win the league's scoring title (30 points per game), but its MVP Award as well. Embiid, the league's leading scorer, went for 32 points on 11-for-20 shooting, giving him an average of 34.3 points over his […]

Nathan MacKinnon Records Three Assists In Friday's Win

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon tallied three assists as the team took down San Jose 5-3 on Friday.

MacKinnon has had some health issues in 2021-22, but he's having another spectacular campaign with 66 points […]

Domantas Sabonis Logs First Career 30-Point, 20-Rebound Outing

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis thoroughly dominated during his team's defeat Friday vs. Boston, compiling 30 points and 20 rebounds, while adding in five assists for good measure. With De'Aaron Fox (hand) sidelined, Sabonis took on a much larger role for the Kings, one that led to him shooting 12-for-20 overall and snatching more than […]

Spencer Knight Registers First Career Shutout

Florida Panthers goaltender Spencer Knight had a special night on Friday as he picked up his first career shutout in a 3-0 win over the Ducks. The young netminder got a lot of help from his teammates and needed to make just 17 saves. He's now gone 3-1-1 in five outings since getting recalled from […]

Aaron Ekblad Suffers A Lower-Body Injury

Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad managed to spend less than one minute on the ice in Friday's 3-0 win over Anaheim, exiting the game with a lower-body injury. It looked like Ekblad hurt his right leg at the start of the first period when there was a collision between him, teammate Aleksander Barkov and Ducks […]

Seth Jarvis Returns With Two Goals

Carolina Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis returned from a hip injury with two goals in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to Washington. He put the team ahead twice in the game, but Carolina couldn't finish the job.

Best Landing Spot for Jameis Winston's Fantasy Football Value

Jameis Winston deserved a better ending to his 2021 season, just like fans of “Seinfeld” and “The Sopranos” deserved better endings to their shows. Winston was arguably on his way to one of the best years of his inconsistent NFL career, if not the best, in his second season with the New Orleans Saints. In […]

Kyle Schwarber Signs with Philadelphia Phillies - Fantasy Baseball Impact

The Phillies made a splash the day before Spring Training games kicked off, signing slugger Kyle Schwarber to a four-year deal.
