FIP/xFIP: Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball

While we've only examined how to evaluate hitters using advanced stats thus far, sabermetrics are at least as useful for pitchers. The first advanced pitching stat most fantasy owners encounter is FIP. FIP stands for Fielding Independent Pitching and attempts to measure a pitcher's actual skill instead of the effects of luck or his supporting […]

Carlos Ortiz missed the cut last week at The American Express. The 30-year-old Mexican struggled at La Quinta, he losing 2.5 strokes tee-to-green and 2.8 strokes on approach. Ortiz had a nice fall swing. He finished in second place at the Mayakoba Classic. Ortiz shot five-under that Sunday to lose to Viktor Hovland. Heading into […]

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He'll join Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges and JaVale McGee in the starting unit for this game.

Ciryl Gane took the first loss of his professional career on Saturday when he suffered a decision loss to the UFC's undisputed heavyweight champion in Francis N'Gannou. Though Gane out-struck N'Gannou in 25 minutes of action by landing 63 significant strikes, the big number on the night were the four of five takedowns N'Gannou secured. […]

Francis N'Gannou Shows The Evolution Of His Game

It appears the UFC's heavyweight champion has evolved his game, which helped propel him to a unanimous decision (49-46, 48-47, 48-47) to remain the undisputed heavyweight champion on Saturday.

Cameron Payne Out At Least Two Weeks

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Payne (wrist) won't be on the court for at least the next two weeks. He suffered a right wrist injury and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Deandre Ayton Not Playing Against Jazz

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. This marks the fourth game in a row that Ayton has missed due to a right ankle injury.

Royce O'Neale Unavailable For Monday

Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He is dealing with knee tendonitis, so he'll sit out the second game of the back-to-back set.

Brandon Moreno Drops Flyweight Title

It looks like we will see this contest for a fourth time in the future after Brandon Moreno dropped his flyweight title in a very close decision (47-48, 47-48, 47-48) to Deiveson Figueiredo in the co-main event of UFC 270 on Saturday.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He banged knees with another player on Sunday and limped off the court. It sounds like he has avoided serious injury and will be back on the court against the Blazers. Fantasy managers […]

Patrick Beverley Questionable On Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Beverley has been dealing with a nagging right ankle issue, which has forced him to miss time. That being said, it's uncertain if he'll get back to the court for this game.

DeMar DeRozan Will Be Held Out Of Monday’s Contest

Chicago Bulls power forward DeMar DeRozan (rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game vs. Oklahoma City due to rest purposes.

Zach LaVine Returns Monday, Will Be On Minutes Cap

Chicago Bulls shooting guard/small forward Zach LaVine (knee) has been given the green light to suit up for Monday's game against Oklahoma City, giving him an early return from a knee ailment that was set to keep him sidelined for at least one more contest. In all, LaVine will have missed five outings, which leads […]

Cody Stamann Unable To Escape The First Minute

In less than one minute of action, it's hard to really analyze Cody Stamann's performance on Saturday. What is evident, though, is that Said Nurmagomedov is on the rise and on a roll. In 47 seconds of action, Stamann only landed one significant strike after being submitted by a guillotine choke. The loss also puts […]

Caris LeVert Will Suit Up For Monday’s Game

Indiana Pacers point/shooting guard Caris LeVert (calf) has been cleared to play in Monday's contest vs. the Pelicans, returning from a two-game absence.

Said Nurmagomedov Dominates With First-Round Victory

Less than one minute is all it took for Said Nurmagomedov to assert his dominance over Cody Stamann on Saturday to secure a first-round submission win in 47 seconds.
