Russell Westbrook Remains A Game-Time Call

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (ankle) is a game-time call for Saturday's matchup against the Wizards. The triple-double king didn't practice on Friday after spraining his right ankle in Game 2, so he has a legit shot at not being in uniform against Washington. If he is out, expect Ish Smith to take over things […]

Seth Curry Likely To Play Against Wizards

Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry (ankle) will likely be in uniform on Saturday against the Wizards. Curry sustained a left ankle sprain during Game 2 on Wednesday, but it appears as if he will be good to go. The 30-year-old is averaging 12 points throughout the first two games of the postseason. However, he has […]

PJ Dozier To Miss Game 4

Denver Nuggets guard PJ Dozier (hip) will remain out ahead of Saturday's postseason matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. This isn't a surprise, as Dozier's availability for the remainder of the playoffs is still a mystery. In his stead, Austin Rivers and Facundo Campazzo should continue to start, with Monte Morris likely receiving an equal […]

Trevor Larnach Collects RBI Single

Minnesota Twins outfielder Trevor Larnach delivered an RBI single in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Kansas City Royals Friday. Larnach stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the seventh inning as a pinch hitter and delivered an RBI single with the bases loaded. The 24-year-old has recorded four hits in as many contests, […]

Will Barton Out Again On Saturday

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) won't play during the Game 4 clash against Portland. The veteran hasn't been available for over a month while dealing with a strained right hamstring, and while he was rumored to be available at some point during the series, things aren't looking promising. The Nuggets may continue to play […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable For Game 4

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (groin) is probable for Saturday's matchup against Miami. The Freak is currently dealing with left groin soreness, an ailment that could limit his fantasy effectiveness, primarily if Milwaukee goes up big as it did during the previous two contests. Fantasy managers should await an official confirmation regarding his status against […]

Mitch Garver Goes Yard

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver went 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk in Friday's loss to the Kansas City Royals. Garver's home run was a no-doubter, traveling 424 feet at an exit velocity of 109.8 MPH. The veteran backstop is on fire at the dish lately, as he's riding a seven-game hitting streak […]

Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates - Week 10

Baseball has seen the rate of injury continue to rise over the past few years. In fantasy, if someone is not in the medical field, it is hard to gauge how long a player will be out and whether they need to be replaced in a lineup. Sometimes this could mean playing a dead roster […]

Randy Dobnak Allows Six Runs In Loss

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Randy Dobnak was saddled with his fourth loss of the season. Dobnak pitched six innings, allowing six runs on nine hits with one walk and three strikeouts. The 26-year-old cruised through four scoreless frames, but a promising outing was done in by the fifth and seventh innings, where he was charged […]

Erik Jones Has Success At Intermediate Tracks Like Charlotte

Erik Jones has had a positive place differential in six of his last eight races (DNF in the other two). Jones looked great in the practice session and turned in the fourth fastest lap of the session. The No. 43 Chevy drove to an 11th place result last year in the 400-lap race. On intermediate […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 10 Waiver Wire

What a disappointing week for pitching. Not a single no-hitter? That's not very 2021 of you. So there weren't any no-hitters this week, but there were some bullpen changes, with a new committee forming and an old committee getting even more confusing. A couple of injuries have complicated things around the league as well. With […]

Ricky Stenhouse JR. Again A Dangerous Choice At Charlotte

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has staggered backward in results the past several weeks. He did have the eighth fastest lap in practice on Friday though. 2020 was a study in contrasts for the JTG Daugherty Racing driver. He finished 24th in the 400 lap race but fourth in the shorter version. Combine that with a fifth […]

Austin Dillon Has Intrigue For Race At Charlotte Sunday

It appeared Austin Dillon had a fast race car and sure enough in practice, he ran 35 laps. His run featured a lap clocked at less than 29.85 seconds which was tops in the practice session. Dillon has enjoyed a nice season and currently resides 11th in the early race for a playoff spot. The […]

The postseason continues on Sunday, with four fantastic matchups spread out throughout the day. With a bigger schedule and a larger player pool, roster construction will be less challenging to some degree.

Bubba Wallace Again Not Worth The Trouble At Charlotte

Maybe Bubba Wallace will not nearly collide into three or four other drivers a race but the 23XI Racing driver has not finished on the lead lap in four appearances. In the last two races, Wallace had multiple issues which forced him out early (vibration and crash). It feels like, in 2021, that the results […]

Aric Almirola Not Expected To Factor Much At Charlotte

It has been a nasty month-long stretch for Aric Almirola. He has only finished two of his last four races. Almirola has not even come close to the top-20 in a month. His last solid finish was 15th at Talladega and the last time he was on the lead lap. The No. 10 Ford was […]

Eddie Rosario Drives In Two Friday

Eddie Rosario went 1-for-2 with a two-RBI single in Friday night's 11-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays. It was another solid night for Rosario before being swapped out later in the game for Bradley Zimmer. Rosario has been heating up at the plate and now has a .369 OBP to go along with two […]

Eli Morgan Struggles In Debut

Cleveland Indians pitching prospect Eli Morgan struggled mightily in his debut on Friday as he allowed six earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out just one across 2 2/3 innings pitched. Morgan worked around a leadoff hit to Marcus Semien in the first, but could not work his way out of […]

Ketel Marte Slashing .241/.258/.276 Since His Return

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman/outfielder Ketel Marte has been starting to get more settled in at the plate lately. He's currently riding a four-game hitting streak, including a two-hit effort on Thursday. Marte missed over a month of action due to a hamstring strain. He's played in nine games since his return and has slashed .241/.258/.276 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (5/29/21): MLB DFS Lineups

As per usual, the Saturday slates are a little sliced and diced on DraftKings. The early slate is the larger slate today. This will deal with the five game primetime slate. This is going to be another volatile slate because of lingering rain concerns in the east and some doubleheaders left over from yesterday's carnage. […]

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks (5/29/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

We have a tiny little four-game slate tonight on FanDuel, which means we'll want to get creative if we're looking to differentiate in tournaments. It's a little bit of an odd group of games as only one team, the Cardinals, has an implied total over five runs. Thankfully, there are a few non-obvious teams (and […]

Whit Merrifield Drives In Three In Friday's Win

Kansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield helped lead the team to an 8-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Friday. He went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and two runs. This was Merrifield's first multi-hit game since May 15. He also hadn't recorded a single RBI since May 16 before this game. Apart […]
