Kevin Harvick Leads Some Laps But Winds Up Sixth At Darlington

Kevin Harvick had a bit of an up and down day and even led for ten laps early on. Harvick was fifth after Stage 1 but dropped all the way to 12th after the second stage. Things did not look good as it looked like the Stewart-Haas Racing driver might drop further. However, he was […]

Denny Hamlin Finishes Fifth And Stays In Cup Series Lead

Denny Hamlin was part of the Joe Gibbs Racing brigade that dominated the standings on Sunday at the Goodyear 400. Hamlin, to his credit, was consistent almost all race staying in and around the top five. He ended up second after Stage 1. However, Hamlin dropped to fourth after Stage 2 and then fifth during […]

William Byron Finds A Way To End Up Fourth At Darlington

William Byron deserves a good deal of credit on Sunday as he almost willed his Hendrick Motorsports Racing car to a fourth-place result. It was thought that Byron might fade late in the race but he did not. The driver was ninth after Stage 1 but moved upward to third after Stage 2. It was […]

Donald Cerrone Unable To Snap Losing Streak

Now winless in his last six bouts, the UFC's all-time wins leader was unable to exit the first round on Saturday, losing to Alex Morono on a TKO stoppage. Donald Cerrone (36-16) was able to collect 17 significant strikes (18 total strikes) but failed to land either of his takedown tries. Though it looks like […]

Kyle Busch Follows Up Kansas Win With Third At Goodyear 400

Kyle Busch was not expected to win on Sunday and not many expected him to contend at Darlington. He found a way to inch up the field to a third-place finish a little less than four seconds behind Kyle Larson and more than six seconds off from Martin Truex Jr. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver […]

Alex Morono Wins With First-Round TKO

In Saturday night's only first-round TKO, Alex Morono (19-7) made the best of his late-notice co-main-event call-up and scored a TKO victory over UFC legend Donald Cerrone. In 4:40 of action, Morono notched 35 significant strikes (41 total strikes), including a big right hand that sent Cerrone reeling, leading to the beginning of the end. […]

Kyle Larson Tires A Little At Very End, Finishes Second At Darlington

Kyle Larson got a little bit of a lesson as he moved up the field at the Goodyear 400. That lesson came from none other than Martin Truex Jr. As Larson got closer, his tires started getting too hot to maintain good grip and leverage. The result was the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver had to […]

Buddy Hield Listed As Game-Time Decision

Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield (ankle) is listed as a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Kings could certainly use Hield with Harrison Barnes (groin) and Hassan Whiteside (protocols) sidelined for this matchup. However, it sounds like the Kings will wait and see how Hield feels during pregame warmups. His […]

Geoff Neal Fights Hard But Comes Up Short

Though his left hand found the mark a few times, rising UFC star Geoff Neal (13-4) was unable to take a unanimous decision from title contender Neil Magny on Saturday night. Throughout the 15 minutes of action, Neal tallied 35 significant strikes (37 total strikes) and landed one of his two takedown tries on the […]

Harrison Barnes Won't Play Sunday

Sacramento Kings forward Harrison Barnes (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was listed as doubtful coming into this game, so it's not shocking to see Barnes sitting out. His absence will once again mean more minutes for Marvin Bagley III and Delon Wright. Both of them could […]

Martin Truex Jr. Dominates Darlington And Sweeps To Victory

It was the performance of the season as Martin Truex Jr. led 248 of the 293 laps on Sunday at Darlington. He swept both stages and took the checkered flag at the Goodyear 400. This was his third win of the year and the Joe Gibbs Racing driver is still the only repeat winner in […]

Alex Caruso Available On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Alex Caruso (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He played through the foot contusion on Friday, so it sounds like a pain tolerance type of issue. The Lakers are fairly banged up, so they need Caruso to play in this one. He'll likely see minutes in the […]

Neil Magny Scores Another Huge Win

Rebounding nicely from his last performance and putting himself back in the welterweight title talks, Neil Magny (25-9) secured a unanimous-decision victory over the very tough Geoff Neal on Saturday night. Though Magny was only 2-for-10 on his takedowns, he notched 55 significant strikes and 89 total strikes. One of the few welterweight contenders left […]

Jakarr Sampson Listed As Out For Monday

Indiana Pacers forward Jakarr Sampson (concussion) is listed as out for Monday's game. It sounds like Sampson will miss at least one more game as he continues to follow the league's concussion guidelines. His absence won't mean a whole lot to the Pacers rotation right now. Domantas Sabonis and Doug McDermott are likely going to […]

Maurice Greene Drops Another Decision

It has been a tough go of it lately for Maurice Greene (9-7), who has now lost four of his last five fights, including Saturday's decision loss to Marcos Rogerio de Lima. It was not a great statistical night either, as he only landed five significant strikes and 60 total strikes in 15 minutes of […]

Jerami Grant Officially Out Versus Bulls

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It was previously reported that he was active, but it appears the Pistons will hold him out of the second game of the back-to-back set. Saddiq Bey, Sekou Doumbouya and Isaiah Stewart will get extended run in this […]

Marcos Rogerio de Lima Grinds Out A Decision Victory

Marcos Rogerio de Lima (18-8-1) grinded out Maurice Greene to take a unanimous decision in Saturday's third main-card bout. Though the significant strikes were not there (14), Lima tallied up 166 total strikes in 15 minutes of action. He also scored three takedowns on four tries, while Greene did not attempt a single takedown. Lima […]

Diego Ferreira Has Night Ended By Second-Round TKO

For the first time since 2014/2015, Diego Ferreira (17-4) has lost back-to-back fights, dropping Saturday's contest to Gregor Gillespie. Having his moments early on in the contest, Ferreira's night ended by TKO stoppage late in the second round. Statistically, Ferreira landed 31 significant strikes (37 total strikes) while being taken down four times on eight […]

Gregor Gillespie Shines In Return To The Octagon

Looking like he has not missed a day in the Octagon, Gregor Gillespie (14-1) scored a second-round TKO victory on Saturday over a tough foe in Diego Ferreira in the second bout of the main card. Through 9:51 of action, Gillespie compiled 45 significant strikes (53 total strikes) along with landing four of his eight […]

Jerami Grant Will Play Against Bulls

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (knee) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This is quite surprising considering Grant played on Saturday and the Pistons have been cautious with him all season long. However, it appears Grant will suit up despite being listed as questionable earlier in the day. Saddiq Bey and […]

Kyle Daukaus Drops Another Decision

Dropping two of his last three fights to move to 1-2 inside the UFC, Kyle Daukaus (10-2) suffered a unanimous-decision loss to Phil Hawes in Saturday night's main-card opener. Though he had some moments where he had Hawes on the ropes, landing zero of his seven takedown attempts erased any real chance of him winning […]

Thaddeus Young Moves Into Starting Five On Sunday

Chicago Bulls forward Thaddeus Young will shift into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He'll take over for Daniel Theis (hip) who is going to be sidelined for this contest. Young has been productive during his spot starts this season. He should be able to be counted on as a consistent […]

Grayson Allen Remains Unavailable For Monday’s Game

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Grayson Allen (abdominal) has been ruled out for Monday's contest versus the Pelicans due to a sore left abdominal. Allen's absence will mark his third game in a row on the sidelines, paving the way for Desmond Bane and De'Anthony Melton to continue serving as the team's sharpshooters. Despite having started […]

Brett Anderson Tosses Three Solid Innings

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brett Anderson (hamstring) pitched three shutout innings versus Miami on Sunday. He allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three in a no-decision. Anderson only threw 52 pitches (31 strikes) in his return from a two-week absence with a strained right hamstring. He's posted a 3.54 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, […]

De'Andre Hunter, Tony Snell Questionable To Play Monday

Atlanta Hawks small forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) and shooting guard Tony Snell (Achilles) have earned questionable designations ahead of Monday's game versus Washington. Hunter is the name to key an eye on, as he has averaged 16 points and 5.1 boards per game and hasn't appeared since March 24 due to a sore right knee. […]

Kawhi Leonard Has Game-High 29 Points In Losing Effort

Los Angeles Clippers small forward Kawhi Leonard shot just 9-for-26 from the field against the Knicks on Sunday, but still managed to lead all scorers with 29 points in a 106-100 loss. He had a fine 4-for-9 performance from downtown and shot 7-for-7 at the foul line with four rebounds, three assists, one steal and […]

Malcolm Brogdon, Jeremy Lamb Questionable For Monday

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) and shooting guard/small forward Jeremy Lamb (knee) have been deemed questionable to participate in Monday's contest versus Cleveland. Indiana is hoping to get two key backcourt contributors back, with Brogdon having missed each of the past five games with a sore right hamstring and Lamb having been out […]

Reggie Bullock Scores 24 Points In Sunday's Win

New York Knicks guard/forward Reggie Bullock went for a season-high 24 points on Sunday against the Clippers in a 106-100 win, shooting 8-for-17 from the field and 5-for-12 from downtown. He logged a massive 46 minutes against his former team and added four rebounds and three assists to his line with two steals, one block […]

Derrick Rose Comes Up Big For Knicks On Sunday

New York Knicks point guard Derrick Rose had a wonderful outing off the bench in Sunday's 106-100 win over the Clippers, leading the team in scoring with 25 points on 11-for-17 shooting and notching eight assists with six rebounds and one steal. He was 2-for-3 with the three-ball and posted four turnovers in 32 minutes. […]

Bradley Beal Out Monday, Could Miss Rest Of Regular Season

Washington Wizards shooting guard/small forward Bradley Beal (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Atlanta, with the results of an MRI indicating that a multi-game absence could be in order. While Beal appears to have avoided a significant injury, the Wizards will play four games in the next seven days, giving him a […]
