Zach Hyman Nets Pair Of Goals Again In Oilers Win

Zach Hyman did it again on Friday night as he scored two more goals in a 5-3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. Hyman simply is doing his job by scoring those close-in goals off opportunities. Hyman's versatility is well documented for Edmonton. He can win some faceoffs, kill penalties, and work well on the […]

Buddy Hield Fires 15 Three-Point Attempts Off Bench

If the first two games of the season are any indication, Sacramento Kings shooting guard/small forward Buddy Hield is certainly embracing his role as the team's No. 1 offensive option off the bench. Hield launched 15 threes during Friday's loss to the Jazz en route to scoring 24 points, as he knocked down six of […]

Aleksej Pokusevski Delivers Offensive Punch Off Bench

Oklahoma City Thunder power forward Aleksej Pokusevski delivered a 10-point showing off the bench in his team's defeat to the Rockets on Friday.

Jae'Sean Tate Packs Stat Sheet With Double-Double

Houston Rockets small forward Jae'Sean Tate was dynamic during Friday's win over the Thunder, stuffing the box score to the tune of 16 points, 14 rebounds and six assists, earning himself a game-high plus-28.

Houston Rockets power forward/center Christian Wood put his myriad of skills on display during his team's convincing win over Oklahoma City on Friday, collecting 29 points and 14 rebounds across his 33 minutes.

Indiana Pacers forward Justin Holiday (ankle) was injured during Friday's one-point loss to Washington.

Nicolas Batum Not Listed On Latest Injury Report

Los Angeles Clippers forward Nicolas Batum (personal) was not listed on the league's official injury report on Friday night. His absence from the list appears to suggest that he will be available for Saturday's matchup against the visiting Memphis Grizzlies.

Kyle Lowry In Danger Of Sitting Against Indiana

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) is listed as questionable heading into Saturday's matchup in Indiana.

Danilo Gallinari Questionable On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (shoulder) is deemed questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran wasn't in the lineup on Wednesday during the season opener against the Mavericks as he continues to be bothered by left shoulder soreness.

John Tavares Gets First Goal Of The Campaign

Toronto Maple Leafs center John Tavares got to celebrate his first goal of the season in Friday's 5-3 loss to San Jose. The Maple Leafs captain made it 4-3 13:39 into the third period, but the team couldn't get the equalizer. Tavares produced four total shots in the game and had one hit in 16:12 […]

Vegas Golden Knights forward Mattias Janmark looks set for his season debut on Friday against Edmonton. The 28-year-old started the season on the COVID-19 list but is now ready to play. Janmark joins a depleted attack that currently doesn't have the services of Max Pacioretty (lower body) and Mark Stone (lower body). It should give […]

Alec Martinez Misses Friday's Action

Jonathan Quick Earns Second Start Of The Year

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick will look to ruin Dallas' home opener on Friday.

Joel Embiid Playing Against Brooklyn

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will play on Friday against the visiting Nets. Embiid continues to deal with right knee soreness after he tore his meniscus during the postseason over the Summer. It's unknown how many minutes Embiid will log, so DFS managers may want to consider other options. However, he remains a must-start […]

Mikko Koskinen Makes Another Start Friday Night

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mikko Koskinen will get another start on Friday against Vegas after beating Arizona 5-1 on Thursday. The Oilers have Mike Smith (lower body) on Injured Reserve, so the Finnish veteran has to hold down the fort. He's done it in spectacular style so far, notching two wins with a 1.37 goals-against average […]

Joel Kiviranta, Luke Glendening Join Tyler Seguin's Line

Dallas Stars forwards Joel Kiviranta and Luke Glendening will skate with Tyler Seguin in Friday's home opener versus the Kings.

Raiders Defense - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The Las Vegas Raiders defense is looking to have another big week as they host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Vegas' d-corps was somewhat inconsistent through the first few weeks of the season but had a huge boost in Week 6's 34-24 victory over the Denver Broncos. In last week's game, Vegas pressured veteran quarterback […]

Braden Holtby Makes Fourth Start Of The Season

Dallas Stars goaltender Braden Holtby will record his fourth start of the season in Friday's home opener against Los Angeles.

Jacobs has the opportunity to build […]

Scottie Barnes Getting Another Start On Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup against Boston. This will mark the rookie's second-straight start. He played relatively well against the Wizards during his league debut, finishing with 12 points and nine boards, one rebound shy of a double-double. He did have six turnovers, which was an issue, […]

Precious Achiuwa Starting Again On Friday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Precious Achiuwa will start during Friday's matchup against the Celtics. Achiuwa was in the starting rotation during the team's opener against the Wizards on Wednesday. However, foul trouble was a theme, and he also logged only 19 minutes of work but still managed to finish with seven boards, six points, and a […]

Bobby Portis, Semi Ojeleye Will Miss Saturday’s Contest

Milwaukee Bucks power forward/center Bobby Portis (hamstring) and power forward Semi Ojeleye (calf) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against San Antonio. The duo have yet to appear during the regular season for Milwaukee, as Jordan Nwora has been the primary beneficiary of added playing time. The absences of Porter and Ojeleye are particularly […]

Kenyan Drake - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders running back Kenyan Drake will look to be a difference-maker in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but it isn't clear how much of an impact he will actually have.

Ricky Rubio Draws Start For Friday’s Contest

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Ricky Rubio has been shifted into the starting five for Friday's game against Charlotte, taking the place of the injured Darius Garland (ankle).
