Joaquin Niemann Expecting Bigger Things At Austin

Joaquin Niemann leads his group heading into the WGC-Dell Match Play this week. Group 14 may have only one threat to him and that is Russell Henley. Kevin Na may not have the length and shot making to worry Niemann too much. Also, the Chilean bounced back after a rough two days at The Honda […]

Sergio Garcia Could Benefit At Match Play This Week

Sergio Garcia is traditionally a staple when the scene shifts to match play. He has three top-40 results in three tournaments played in North America in 2022. With golfers like Collin Morikawa and even Robert MacIntyre not in the greatest of form, Garcia could author just enough results to get out of the round robin. […]

Matthew Wolff Not Expecting Much At Austin

Matthew Wolff has not had an easy time of it and now enters the WGC-Dell Match Play in a group that features Dustin Johnson and Max Homa. This has the potential to be a short stay for Wolff. Consider that Wolff has not cracked the top-60 yet in a 2022 tournament. Also, he can not […]

Adam Scott Needs Momentum Boost Heading To Austin

Adam Scott is not exactly inspiring confidence with his play of late. Scott is struggling to make putts and string shots together. Worse, he missed the cut at TPC-Sawgrass after struggling at the end of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Scott is in Group 11 this week with the likes of Jordan Spieth, Keegan Bradley, and […]

Steven Matz Throws Two Scoreless Innings On Monday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Steven Matz got the start in Monday's Grapefruit League game and pitched well, tossing two scoreless innings while allowing two hits and striking out two without issuing a walk. Matz will be a fixture in the Cardinals rotation after signing a four-year, $44 million deal in November. He was a […]

Paul DeJong Expected To Regain Shortstop Job

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong is expected to earn the Opening Day job, with new manager Oliver Marmol saying the starting shortstop job is his "to lose." Lose it is exactly what he did last season due to injuries and extended slumps, with Edmundo Sosa overtaking him in the second half of the season. […]

Collin Morikawa Searching For Game At Match Play

Collin Morikawa picked the wrong time to start struggling heading into the Dell Match Play at Austin this week. Fortunately, the early format is round-robin but Morikawa has to hit some shots and make some putts. This is something he has done little of the past two weeks. The American golfer missed the cut at […]

Kevin Durant Goes For 37 Points Against Utah

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant finished with 37 points on 15-for-23 shooting during the decisive win over the Jazz. Durant was locked in all night, and he added nine boards and eight assists to narrowly miss out on a triple-double. The 33-year-old is back at full strength since sustaining a knee injury that kept him […]

Andre Iguodala Still Dealing With Back Issue

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (back) isn't available for Tuesday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. This isn't a shock, as the veteran hasn't played in over a month because of lower back tightness, and he's logged just five minutes of work since January 20th. There's hope Iguodala will be back for the postseason. However, […]

Lou Williams Won't Play Against New York

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams (personal) won't be available against the Knicks. Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) is questionable, so the door may be open for Delon Wright to get some additional work from off the bench. Fantasy managers need to keep an eye on Bogdanovic's status because Wright's outlook will become much brighter if he is […]

Kaapo Kahkonen Dealt To San Jose

Minnesota Wild netminder Kaapo Kahkonen was traded before the end of the trade deadline on Monday to San Jose. They also included a 2022 fifth-round pick in return for defenseman Jacob Middleton. Once touted as the goaltender of the future for Minnesota, Kahkonen didn't live up to the expectations that were set upon him. Middleton […]

Yu Darvish Made Mechanical Adjustments

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish said he tweaked his mechanics in the offseason and is also past the hip injury that landed him on the injured list twice in 2021. It also played a part in his 6.65 ERA in his final 14 starts after he had a 2.44 ERA through his first […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Questionable Against The Knicks

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (quadriceps) is in danger of missing the team's upcoming game against the New York Knicks. The 29-year-old has a right quad contusion, so there will be plenty of shots up for grabs if he doesn't play. While Trae Young will surely get some more looks at the basket without Bogdanovic […]

Shohei Ohtani Could Hit Leadoff This Year

Los Angeles Angels manager Joe Maddon said that he could use designated hitter Shohei Ohtani as the team's leadoff hitter this year, followed by outfielder Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon. Ohtani had a .372 on-base percentage and swiped 26 bags on his way to American League MVP honors last season, so he could be a […]

Luis Urias Questionable For Opening Day

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell said it is status quo on third baseman Luis Urias (quadriceps) after he underwent tests on Sunday. Urias will be out for around two weeks, putting his status for Opening Day very much in question. However, the Brewers don't expect him to have an extended absence. With less than three […]

Khris Middleton Out Against Chicago

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (wrist) is listed as out for Tuesday's Central Division showdown against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran is dealing with a sore left wrist. However, it doesn't appear too severe, so there's a good chance he'll be back on Thursday versus the Washington Wizards. Fortunately, Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is expected back […]

Lions Agree With Chris Board

The Detroit Lions agreed with free-agent linebacker Chris Board on an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday night, according to a source. Board has been a special teams standout and a situational defensive player for the Baltimore Ravens, who made an effort to re-sign him. He's expected to compete for a starting spot on defense in […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Expected To Play Versus Bulls

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is likely to suit up for Tuesday's meeting against the Chicago Bulls. The Freak sat on Saturday night versus Minnesota because of right knee soreness. However, fantasy managers know the drill by this point, so his absence was merely to rest. With the former MVP back in the fold, […]

Jalen Suggs Sitting Out Again On Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) won't play against the Warriors on Tuesday night. This will be his fourth-straight absence as he continues to work his way back from a bruised ankle. Nonetheless, without Suggs in the lineup, R.J. Hampton will likely take his place. This season, Hampton has averaged nearly eight points throughout six […]

Kenny Pickett's Hands Measure 8 5/8 Inches At Pro Day

Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett's hand size increased by an eighth of an inch from the NFL combine to 8 5/8 inches at his school's Pro Day on Monday. "The stretches work," Pickett said with a laugh. "It's the reason why I've been doing them. If it helped getting an eighth of an inch, I'll take […]

Victor Rask Traded To Seattle

Minnesota Wild forward Victor Rask was traded to Seattle on Monday. The Wild received future considerations and will still have to pay 50% of Rask's contract. Rask had five goals and eight helpers while averaging just 10:44 minutes of ice time per contest for Minnesota. A fresh start going to Seattle may rejuvenate the Swedish […]

Za'Darius Smith Visits With Vikings

Former Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Za'Darius Smith visited with the Minnesota Vikings on Monday, according to sources. Smith's original deal with the Baltimore Ravens fell apart, so he's back on the open market and could end up staying in the NFC North. The 29-year-old pass-rusher originally agreed to a four-year, $35 million deal with […]

Moses Moody Questionable For Tuesday Evening

Golden State Warriors guard Moses Moody (shoulder) has a shot at playing against the Magic on Tuesday night. The 19-year-old remains questionable because of right shoulder soreness, which caused him to miss the Warriors' previous matchup on Sunday versus the San Antonio Spurs. Nonetheless, with the team playing its first of back-to-back contests, he may […]

Lions Sign Mike Hughes To One-Year Deal

The Detroit Lions signed free-agent cornerback Mike Hughes to a one-year, $3.5 million deal on Monday, according to a source. Hughes was a first-round pick (30th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2018, and he spent the first three seasons of his career in Minnesota. Last year he played in 17 games (five starts) for […]

Raiders Sign Kyler Fackrell

The Las Vegas Raiders signed free-agent linebacker Kyler Fackrell to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday, according to a source. Fackrell spent the 2021 campaign with the Los Angeles Chargers, totaling only 17 tackles (11 solo), four tackles for loss, four QB hits, three sacks and a fumble recovery in 13 games (one start). He […]

Andrew Wiggins Likely Good To Go Against Orlando

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (knee) is expected to play during the upcoming meeting versus the Orlando Magic. After missing the previous two games because of a non-COVID-related illness, the veteran returned on Sunday against San Antonio, finishing with 16 points, eight boards, and two steals across 33 minutes of work. A left knee […]

Jayron Kearse Re-Signs With Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys re-signed safety Jayron Kearse to a two-year deal with a base salary of $10 million in 2022 on Monday, according to a source. Kearse can make up to $11 million in incentives.
