LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 3/5: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

I fell for it again. The T1 trap is forever undefeated. Even if you get the starters right, the team lets you down—a disappointing end to a rough night. DRX/KT had one of the most head-scratching game twos in recent memory, with KT throwing away a 9k gold lead only to eke out a narrow […]

Zach Davies Solid In Spring Debut

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Zach Davies was solid in his spring debut Wednesday as he threw two scoreless innings while walking one and striking out two in an 8-8 tie with the Seattle Mariners.

Boston Bruins right wing David Pastrnak potted his 10th goal of the season in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout loss to Washington with Brad Marchand providing the lone assist.

Mason Plumlee Notches Second Career Triple-Double

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee notched the second triple-double of his career in a 129-105 win over the Raptors. Plumlee scored 14 points with 11 rebounds, 10 assists, a block, and a steal in just 28 minutes.

Washington Capitals goaltender Vitek Vanecek became the eighth netminder in the league to reach 10 wins for the season when he had 18 saves in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout victory at Boston.

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - Blachowicz vs. Adesanya (UFC 259)

When Dana White and the UFC as a whole go to work, they do go to work. Oh boy, what a weekend do we have ahead of us. It's been a couple of events since the last time we saw a belt put on the line back on Feb. 13 in a Usman vs. Burns main […]

LJay Newsome Struggles In Spring Debut

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Ljay Newsome didn't have his best stuff Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits to the Cubs, with one strikeout and one walk. His outing could have looked considerably worse if not for some sparkling defense by Jake Fraley in right field. Newsome looks to be eighth or ninth on the […]

Stephen Curry Scores 35 Points In Wednesday's Losing Effort

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry dropped a game-high 35 points on 13-for-28 shooting against Portland on Wednesday, but his efforts weren't enough in a 108-106 loss.

Anthony Rizzo Homers Wednesday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo had a solid day at the plate Wednesday, going 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in an 8-8 tie against the Seattle Mariners. The home run was Rizzo's first hit in five at-bats to begin the spring, but he should settle in as March continues. Rizzo was also hitting […]

Chris Flexen To Make Spring Start Friday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen will take the mound Friday for his Mariners debut. Flexen, who spent years in the Mets minor league system shuttling between the big-league and Triple-A clubs, found considerably more success in 2020 after signing with the Doosan Bears of the KBO. Flexen dominated in Korea, posting a 2.74 FIP […]

2021 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers - Leody Taveras

Leody Taveras received a call-up to the Texas Rangers last year despite never playing Triple-A and with only 65 games at Double-A under his belt. Given the Rangers' lack of outfield depth, it might not have come as a complete shock as Taveras entered 2020 as the Rangers no.1 outfield prospect. Taveras played in 33 games […]

Carmelo Anthony Produces 22-Point Performance Off Bench

Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony did some cooking in Wednesday's win over Golden State, racking up 22 points on 8-for-13 shooting in 32 minutes off the bench. He went 2-for-6 with the three-ball and added four assists and two rebounds. Melo has had his fair share of struggles as a bench scorer, but he's […]

Damian Lillard Pushes Blazers Past Warriors

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard had 22 points and nailed a couple of key treys late in the game, which led to a 108-106 win over the Warriors on Wednesday. He was horrible from deep all night but was there when the team needed him the most. Lillard ended up with a 3-for-10 […]

James Paxton Impresses In Simulated Game

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton asked out of Wednesday's start against the Cubs, instead preferring to work on his secondary pitches in a simulated game. Catcher Tom Murphy, Paxton's battery mate for the three-inning outing, was heard saying that Paxton looked the best he has so far this spring. Paxton is looking to bounce […]

Victor Oladipo Continues Inefficient Scoring

Houston Rockets shooting guard Victor Oladipo recorded a season-high 33 points in Wednesday's loss to the Nets but did so with horrible 9-for-25 shooting from the field. He ended up with a nice 5-for-11 shooting from downtown but struggled everywhere else. Oladipo's line also included seven rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks, and two […]

Early 2021 Sleepers and Draft Targets - Wide Receiver

It’s early in the game. Most fantasy gamers haven’t thought about drafting their redraft teams yet. This is understandable since we haven’t even had the NFL Draft yet. Finding late-round wide receivers who could potentially provide unexpected production in fantasy is a problem that isn’t considered a pressing concern right now for a lot of […]

Shohei Ohtani Goes Yard Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Shohei Ohtani had a great day at the plate Wednesday as he went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk in a 6-2 win over the Texas Rangers. The home run was an absolute mammoth shot to dead-center and marks the beginning of a hot spring for Ohtani, who […]

John Wall Scores Season-High 36 Points

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall had a season-high 36 points in Wednesday's loss to Brooklyn, finishing with 12-for-30 shooting and dishing out five assists with two rebounds, one block, and three turnovers in 41 minutes.

In camp as a non-roster invitee, Reinheimer is off to a good start in spring training, but he faces an uphill […]

Eloy Jimenez Shows Patience Wednesday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez had a solid day at the plate Wednesday by going 1-for-1 with a run scored and two walks in a 6-5 loss to the Royals. The two walks are a welcomed sign from Jimenez as he only managed a walk rate of 5.3% in 2020. That being said, he […]

James Harden Notches Triple-Double In Return To Houston

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden was back in Houston Wednesday night and had a vintage performance with 29 points, 14 assists, and 10 rebounds. He missed only five of his 15 shots and was 4-for-8 from downtown with a 5-for-7 record at the charity stripe. Harden's work also included three steals and one block with […]

Trea Turner Goes 1-For-2 Wednesday

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner went 1-for-2 with a double in Wednesday's loss to the Miami Marlins. Turner has now recorded a hit in his first three spring training games to begin 2021.

Jose Ramirez Goes Hitless Wednesday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's bout with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Zach Plesac Struggles In Spring Debut

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac struggled in his spring debut Wednesday by allowing three earned runs and only striking out two across two innings pitched. The main blow came off a Christian Walker two-run shot in the first inning. Expectations are high for Plesac as he enters his third season in the big leagues […]
