Cole Custer Finishes Well With Nice Qualifying Lap Saturday

Daniel Suarez Turns In Very Good Qualifying Lap Saturday

Justin Haley Surprises With Third-Place Qualifying Lap

Tyler Reddick Edged By Kyle Busch For Fastest Time

Tyler Reddick got around the quarter-mile Coliseum track in 13.761 seconds on Saturday. That was second-fastest in qualifying and earned Reddick a top spot in Heat 2. Being near the front based on testing looks to be more optimal. The chances that Reddick will make the 23-driver field are very high. The No. 8 Chevy […]

Kyle Busch Sets Best Time In Qualifying Saturday

Kyle Busch held off Tyler Reddick by a little less than two-thousandths of a second to qualify in the top spot for Sunday's first heat race. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver still has to finish well enough to make the 23-driver field for the main event. Being in front is good with the short 25-lap […]

Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz (knee) is questionable heading into Sunday's showdown with the Bulls. Korkmaz has missed his previous three games because of left knee soreness.

Matisse Thybulle Dealing With Shoulder Soreness

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup in Chicago. He's currently dealing with soreness in his right shoulder, and with Furkan Korkmaz (knee) carrying the same designation, Danny Green and Isaiah Joe may see some more work against the Bulls, although Green should be the preferred fantasy option between the […]

Denver Nuggets guard Austin Rivers (hip) is expected to suit up on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran is currently dealing with tightness in his right hip flexor, although it doesn't appear to be too serious.

Isaiah Jackson Out On Sunday

Indiana Pacers forward Isaiah Jackson (ankle) is out for Sunday's matchup versus Cleveland.

Nonetheless, if Domantas Sabonis can return from his stint in health and safety protocols and Goga Bitadze (foot) can make it back from […]

Aaron Gordon To Return On Sunday

Goga Bitadze Questionable Versus Cleveland

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (foot) is questionable for Sunday's outing against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The big man has missed his previous four games because of right foot soreness.

Kawhi Leonard Not Expected Back This Season

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) may not play this season, according to head coach Ty Lue.

However, […]

De'Aaron Fox Out On Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the Thunder. Fox will now miss his eighth straight game because of left ankle soreness, so Davion Mitchell and Tyrese Haliburton should continue to handle most of the work out of the backcourt. Both men should be strongly considered for DFS contests as well […]

Yankees Likely To Pursue Freddie Freeman

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman has hit the free-agent market, and the organization hasn't jumped on extending their superstar slugger.

Marcell Ozuna Expected To Return In 2022

Atlanta Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna is expected to return to the field in 2022, according to manager Brian Snitker.

Cade Cunningham Draws Questionable Tag For Sunday

Detroit Pistons shooting guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has once again earned a questionable designation, this time ahead of Sunday's matchup vs. Minnesota. Cunningham has dealt with a right hip pointer, which has kept him out of Detroit's two previous outings and paved the way for Hamidou Diallo and Frank Jackson to take on larger offensive […]
