Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that the MRI exam on tight end C.J. Uzomah's knee was "encouraging," and he is dealing with an MCL sprain. Uzomah has a chance to be ready for the Super Bowl in two weeks against the Los Angeles Rams. The 29-year-old came down awkwardly on his left knee […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (1/31/22)

Friday's NBA slate was very much a mixed bag for me. While I did pretty well in DFS, the two bets I recommend in this column both missed, and a few others I liked (but not quite as much) hit. That's why I always supply my model as well and try to highlight a few […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/31/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Monday’s eight game slate features four teams on the second night of a back-to-back.

McNabb has scored two goals and added seven assists for a total of nine points through 45 […]

LeBron James Likely To Miss More Time

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) flew back to Los Angeles to receive treatment this weekend. The knee injury appears to be worse than the organization originally thought. An MRI revealed general soreness and head coach Frank Vogel has not given a timetable on James return. "As long as the swelling is there, he […]

Carey Price Hopes To Return Soon

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price (knee) is hopeful that he will be able to make his season debut sooner than later. The 34-year-old dealt with a few setbacks in his rehab process after undergoing offseason knee surgery in July. On Saturday, Price was skating in full equipment for the first time since the middle of […]

Cam Akers Returns To NFC Title Game

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (shoulder) returned to Sunday's NFC Championship matchup versus the 49ers. The 22-year-old briefly exited with a shoulder issue and was labeled as questionable to return. However, with L.A. looking to advance to the Super Bowl against the Bengals, Akers should get plenty of work for the remainder of […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Doesn't Do Much In Loss To Cincinnati

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire finished with six carries for 36 yards during the AFC Championship loss to Cincinnati. He also added a catch for four yards. The sophomore was relegated to a lesser role behind Jerick McKinnon, who had 12 attempts for 65 yards and three receptions for 30 yards. Nevertheless, the […]

Jerick McKinnon Leads Chiefs In Rushing On Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon finished with 12 carries for 65 yards during the overtime loss to Cincinnati on Sunday. He also added three catches for 30 yards. The 29-year-old wasn't much of a factor during the regular season. However, he stepped things up during the playoffs and was one of the most […]

Cam Akers Questionable To Return Versus San Francisco

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's NFC Championship game against San Francisco. Before the injury, Akers was having a solid outing, accumulating 31 yards off six carries. Nonetheless, an official update regarding his status moving forward should come soon. However, if Akers can't make it back, Sony […]

Tyler Higbee Questionable To Return For NFC Championship

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee is questionable to return to Sunday's NFC Championship game against the 49ers. The veteran sustained an undisclosed injury in the first quarter, possibly to his knee, and needed assistance to leave the field. It certainly doesn't look like a promising situation, so DFS managers shouldn't be surprised if […]

Patrick Mahomes Unable To Lift Chiefs To Super Bowl

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes finished with 275 yards, three touchdowns, two picks, and a fumble during the nerve-racking AFC Championship loss to Cincinnati. He also added three carries for 19 yards. The former MVP was on fire to begin the game. However, he cooled off in the second half and couldn't find the […]

Will Barton Will Play Against Bucks

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (illness) will be available for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It was uncertain if Barton was going to play here due to a non-COVID related illness. However, his return will likely shift Austin Rivers back to the second unit. Rivers won't have as much streaming appeal with Barton back […]

Jimmy Butler Uncertain For Monday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. It sounds like Butler suffered an ankle injury while playing 52 minutes during the triple-overtime loss on Saturday. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Raptors give Butler the night off for rest purposes. Caleb Martin and Max […]

DeMarcus Cousins Won't Play Against Bucks

Denver Nuggets center DeMarcus Cousins (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Cousins won't get a chance to take on his former team due to a right foot sprain. JaMychal Green, Zeke Nnaji, and Jeff Green are all available, so the Nuggets will have plenty of options at center. None […]

Kristaps Porzingis Not Available On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) didn't travel with the team for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was only able to play 11 minutes on Saturday before exiting with right knee soreness. His absence means more playing time for Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell. The hope is that Porzingis can play in their […]

Nick Bosa Playing On Sunday Night

San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Nick Bosa will play on Sunday night against the Rams. Bosa was listed on the injury report earlier in the week because of a personal matter but did practice on Thursday and Friday. The 24-year-old was instrumental in helping lift the Niners past the Packers during the Divisional-Round, finishing with […]

George Hill Won't Play Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It appears the Bucks are going to play it safe with their veteran guard. Grayson Allen should more minutes coming his way on Sunday. His usage should increase as well, which makes him an interesting DFS option. Hill […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Out For NFC Championship

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's NFC Championship against the Rams. The 26-year-old sustained a sprained ankle during Saturday's snowy Divisional-Round win over Green Bay and practiced sparingly throughout the week. Fortunately, Elijah Mitchell (knee) will play, with JaMycal Hasty listed behind him on the depth chart. However, […]

Luke Getsy To Serve As Bears New Offensive Coordinator

The Chicago Bears are hiring former Packers assistant Luke Getsy as its new offensive coordinator. Getsy most recently spent his last three seasons in Green Bay, where he served as the quarterback coach and passing coordinator.

Josh McDaniels Hired By Las Vegas

The Las Vegas Raiders are hiring Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as its new head coach. McDaniels was one of the most sought-after coaching candidates for years by a number of teams after spending over a decade in New England, helping the Patriots capture six Super Bowls during his tenure. The 45-year-old will have his […]
