Orioles Add Shed Long On Minor League Deal

The Baltimore Orioles reached an agreement with infielder/outfielder Shed Long on a minor league contract on Wednesday, according to a source familiar with the deal. The 26-year-old spent the last three seasons with the Seattle Mariners, who outrighted him last October. Long decided to choose free agency and has now found a new home in […]

Nick Lodolo Moving Past Last Year's Injuries

Cincinnati Reds farm director Shawn Pender said that left-handed pitcher Nick Lodolo (finger, shoulder) is feeling good, and the team thinks they have figured out his blister issues and shoulder fatigue, which Lodolo took the blame for. MLB Pipeline ranked Lodolo as the No. 31 overall prospect at the end of the 2021 season. The […]

Juan Soto Turned Down Contract Extension

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto turned down a 13-year, $350 million contract offer from the Nationals before the lockout in early December, according to ESPN Deportes' Enrique Rojas. The 23-year-old star outfielder finished second in National League MVP voting in 2021 and has slashed .301/.432/.550 in his first four big-league seasons. Soto is currently due […]

Kevin Durant Unlikely To Return Right After All-Star Break

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) remains without a timetable to return to the court due to an MCL sprain. On Thursday, Nets coach Steve Nash discussed the injury with the press, saying there's a "small chance" that Durant returns shortly after the All-Star break, but that it was more likely he'll need a bit […]

DeMarcus Cousins Now Listed As Available Wednesday

Updating a previous report, Denver Nuggets center DeMarcus Cousins (illness) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. About 45 minutes prior to tip-off, the Nuggets tweeted that Cousins would be out for the game due to a non-COVID illness, but that appears to no longer be the case as he is […]

LeBron James Good To Go For Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James (knee) is active and in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. James had been listed as questionable for the game due to left knee soreness, but the injury won't be keeping him out. He'll be joined by Russell Westbrook, Malik Monk, Stanley Johnson and […]

Draymond Green Expected Back "At Some Point"

The Golden State Warriors released a statement on injured forward Draymond Green (back) on Wednesday. In the statement, the team claimed that Green is making "good progress" in his recovery from a lower back/disc injury that has kept him sidelined for over a month. The Warriors, according to the statement, anticipate that Green will return […]

Tyler Herro To Remain Out On Thursday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (knee) will miss his second straight game on Thursday when the Heat take on the Charlotte Hornets. Herro has been hampered by a right knee contusion for about 10 days now. He was able to play through the injury this past Saturday, but that was the only action he's seen […]

Jimmy Butler Draws Questionable Tag For Thursday

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler (shoulder) is currently listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Butler is dealing with a right shoulder strain. He was questionable for the team's previous game against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, but he went on to play 38 minutes in the game and he came […]

DeMarcus Cousins Ruled Out For Wednesday's Game

Denver Nuggets center DeMarcus Cousins (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He is dealing with a gastrointestinal illness. With Boogie sidelined, we could see both of the Nuggets' Greens - Jeff Green and JaMychal Green - take on some extra minutes. Cousins has been playing about 15 minutes […]

Victor Oladipo Sent To G League For Practice Reps

Miami Heat shooting guard Victor Oladipo (quadriceps) has been sent to the team's G-League affiliate in Sioux Falls. He will be participating in 5-on-5 practices with the team in order to get back into game shape. Oladipo is working his way back from quadriceps surgery, which he underwent this past offseason. He remains without a […]

DeMarcus Cousins Uncertain For Wednesday

Denver Nuggets center DeMarcus Cousins (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so hopefully nothing serious. He has been a decent backup center in Denver, but doesn't provide much fantasy value. Zeke Nnaji (hamstring) has already been ruled out for this […]

Dennis Schroder To Start On Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard Dennis Schroder (Achilles) will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was listed as questionable earlier in the day, but will take over for Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) on Wednesday. Despite starting, Schroder is a risky DFS option. The Rockets have no long term plans for […]

Gary Payton II Moves Into Starting Five On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Jonathan Kuminga has looked solid in the starting unit lately, so this move is a bit odd. Regardless, Payton will get the nod, but isn't much of a fantasy asset. It's unlikely that Payton does […]

Alex Caruso Could Resume Shooting Soon

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (wrist) is expected to resume shooting and dribbling within the next week, according to head coach Billy Donovan. He has been doing some conditioning drills, but isn't close to returning to the court. The assumption is that Caruso is still a month away from returning. Fantasy managers should consider stashing […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Won't Play Versus Suns

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The Rockets are going to be shorthanded with Christian Wood (illness) also sidelined. Dennis Schroder (Achilles) is likely to see a bigger role in the rotation, assuming he's cleared to play. Otherwise, Josh Christopher should be asked […]

Christian Wood Won't Play Against Suns

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness and will sit this one out as a precaution. Alperen Sengun will move into the starting five for Wednesday's contest. He'll be a fantastic streaming option and someone worth looking […]

Fred Vanvleet Won't Play Against Minnesota

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. VanVleet is still expected to participate in All-Star weekend, but will sit this game out as a precaution. Pascal Siakam is expected to run the offense with Vanvleet sidelined. He'll be a strong fantasy option without Vanvleet on […]

Javonte Green Will Play Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Javonte Green (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was tagged as questionable earlier in the day, but played 35 minutes on Monday. Zach LaVine (knee) is sidelined through the All-Star break, so Green should have a significant role. DeMar DeRozan will continue to have his value […]

Zach LaVine Expected To Return After All-Star Break

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) visited with a knee specialist earlier in the week. The appointment went well and LaVine is supposed to return after the All-Star break, according to head coach Billy Donovan. Fans shouldn't expect LaVine to participate in All-Star weekend, but we'll see what happens. Until his return, DeMar DeRozan will […]

Derrick Rose Not Cleared For Contact

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) has not been cleared for contact, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. Rose has been making progress, but hasn't been cleared for contact yet. He's obviously going to be sidelined until the All-Star break, but hopefully he can return shortly after that. Rose wasn't a great fantasy asset […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Cleared To Play On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) has been cleared for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was uncertain for this game heading into the day, but he'll make his 12th straight appearance on Wednesday. Bogdanovic has moved to the bench, but it has only improved his fantasy value. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable putting […]

Marcus Smart Won't Play Versus Pistons

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This isn't too shocking considering Smart suffered a right ankle sprain during Tuesday's game. Derrick White has already been announced as the starter in place of Smart. He could be a cheap DFS option for Wednesday's slate. Payton […]

Robert Williams III Ruled Out For Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He wasn't able to play on Tuesday and will miss his second game in a row here. Grant Williams should slide into the starting five once again on Wednesday. Although, Al Horford is the better fantasy option […]

Rui Hachimura Won't Play Against Pacers

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Hachimura is dealing with a right ankle sprain, so the Wizards have elected to sit him out for this one. Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill are likely to see increased playing time with Hachimura sidelined. Avdija is the […]

Isaiah Jackson Ruled Out On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. This marks the third game in a row that Jackson has missed due to a right ankle sprain. The hope is that Jackson will be able to return after the All-Star break. Until then, fantasy managers should expect […]

Monte Morris Returning On Wednesday

Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris (head) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He missed each of the last three games while following the league's concussion protocol guidelines. His returns means Bones Hyland will head back to the second unit. He won't have much fantasy upside off the bench. Also, Facundo […]
