Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner provided a team-high 15 points in Wednesday's 92-87 loss to Miami.

Bam Adebayo Stays Busy On Both Ends Of The Court

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo was everywhere in Wednesday's win over the Pacers, collecting 16 points with eight rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes.

Jerami Grant Ends Slump With 30-Point Performance

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant deliver a jackpot to DFS managers who dared to pick him for Wednesday's action when he had 30 points in a 124-101 loss to Portland.

Sebastian Munoz Not An Attractive Play At Valero

Sebastian Munoz has just two career starts at Valero Texas Open, finishing 27th in 2017 and missing the cut in 2019. He has played some decent golf this season with six top-25 finishes in 16 starts. Munoz does not struggle mightily with any part of his game, but he also does not stand out in […]

Tanner Houck Will Start the Second Game of the Season

With the Eduardo Rodriguez injury causing manager Alex Cora to shuffle the rotation, Boston Red Sox pitching prospect Tanner Houck will get the start Saturday against the Orioles. Houck, the Red Sox seventh-rated prospect, was phenomenal in three outings last year, striking out 21 and allowing just one run in 17 innings. Houck had an […]

Lanto Griffin Looks To Stay Hot With Putter

Lanto Griffin has six top-25 finishes in 15 events this season, and he finished 58th at Valero in his only career appearance in 2018. Griffin averages solid distance off the tee and ranks 17th in strokes gained approaching the green. However, putting seems to be what he relies on the most. Griffin ranks 17th in […]

James Harden Exits Early On Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) was forced out of action during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. He is not going to return, but the team is likely holding him out as a precaution. Harden finished with 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists in 27 minutes. Kyrie Irving will […]

Cal Petersen Earns 18th Start Of The Season

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Cal Petersen has earned the nod for the 18th time this season for Wednesday's battle with the Golden Knights. He sits on only six wins for the year but has been rock-solid with his work, recording a 2.54 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage. Petersen is carrying some good form […]

Joel Embiid Might Return This Weekend

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has sat out the last three weeks, but could return as early as this weekend. He has already been ruled out for Thursday's matchup, but has a chance to play Saturday or Sunday. It's unlikely that he plays in both of the back-to-back games, but fantasy managers will gladly […]

Marc-Andre Fleury Starts Wednesday Night

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will return to the crease for Wednesday's matchup with the Kings. The Flower didn't dress for Monday's 4-1 win over Los Angeles, so he'll be fully fresh here, aiming to improve a 17-7-0 record. The veteran netminder has been excellent throughout the campaign with a 2.06 goals-against average, a […]

Jhoulys Chacin Expected To Sign With Rockies

Doug Ghim Has Value At TPC San Antonio

Doug Ghim has 14 starts this season and has posted six finishes inside the top-25. He will be making his debut at TPC San Antonio, but he should have solid value if he continues to hit his irons well. Ghim ranks 20th in strokes gained approaching the green and 36th in proximity to the hole. […]

Andre Drummond Won't Be Limited In Team Debut

Los Angeles Lakers center Andre Drummond is expected to play starter minutes during Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, according to head coach Frank Vogel.

Kaapo Kahkonen Makes First Start In Five Games

Minnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen will start in Wednesday's matchup versus San Jose. He'll be back between the pipes for the first time since taking an ugly 6-0 loss against Colorado on Mar. 20. Cam Talbot went on to start four straight games and put together a nice 3-0-1 record. Kahkonen had posted two shutouts […]

Zach LaVine Sidelined On Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He continues to deal with a lingering ankle issue, while Coby White (neck), and Garrett Temple (hamstring) join him on the sideline. Tomas Satoransky should see all the minutes he can handle. That should make him a favorable […]

Alex Pietrangelo Looks Ready To Return

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (upper body) looks ready to return to the lineup on Wednesday versus Los Angeles. He was removed from Long-Term Injured Reserve and joined Brayden McNabb on the second defensive pairing at the morning skate. The 30-year-old was also rolling with the second power-play unit. Pietrangelo, who hasn't played since […]
