Joel Embiid Ruled Out Against Indiana On Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) will not play Sunday against the Indiana Pacers. Embiid is dealing with back tightness and has popped up on the injury report a couple times over the past week. This time, the injury is enough to force Embiid to sit against a big frontcourt in Indiana. Dwight Howard will […]

Otto Porter Questionable Monday Against Knicks

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (back) is listed as questionable against the New York Knicks Monday night. Porter is dealing with back issues over the past week and played just 24 minutes against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. If Porter is going to miss, Thaddeus Young should continue to get big minutes off the […]

Anthony DeAngelo Gets Waived By Rangers

New York Rangers defenseman Anthony DeAngelo hit the waivers on Sunday, with the 25-year-old blueliner off to an awful start to the season. He was benched for two games after taking a bad penalty in the team's season opener and ended up being on the ice for four goals when Pittsburgh beat the Rangers in […]

Immanuel Quickley Drops 25 Points In 27 Minutes

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley scored 27 points in 25 minutes of Sunday's loss to the Clippers. Quickley added three rebounds, three assists, two treys, and a block.

Miles Wood Scores Twice, Adds Assist in Victory

New Jersey Devils forward Miles Wood picked up three assists on Sunday, registering two goals and an assist in a win over the Sabres. Wood came into the game with five points on the season, and without a goal in nearly two weeks, but pulled himself into a tie with Jack Hughes for most points […]

Two Helpers From Jack Eichel Can't Help Sabres Overcome Devils

Buffalo Sabres center Jack Eichel assisted on a pair of power-play goals on Sunday, but it was not enough to keep pace with the Devils in a 5-3 loss. Despite leading Buffalo with seven shots on net, Eichel failed to slip one past New Jersey netminder Eric Comrie. His two power-play assists will help keep […]

Jamie Benn Activated From Injured Reserve

Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn (lower body) looks set to return to the lineup on Sunday against Carolina after the Stars captain was activated from the injured reserve. The former Art Ross Trophy winner hasn't featured since leaving the team's season opener with injury on Jan. 22. Benn has disappointed fantasy managers in recent years […]

Julius Randle Double-Doubles In Losing Effort

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle dropped 27 points with 12 boards, five assists, and four triples in a 129-115 loss to the Clippers. Randle has been a double-double machine for the Knicks this season, and it was a nice bonus to see him get going from beyond the arc, as he was 4 of […]

Chris Driedger Takes On Red Wings On Sunday

Florida Panthers goaltender Chris Driedger is set for his third start of the season on Sunday against the Detroit Red Wings. Sergei Bobrovsky had a solid start in Saturday's 3-2 win over Detroit with 27 saves and Driedger should be confident of a positive result as well, with the Red Wings on an awful five-game […]

James Reimer Stars On Sunday

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender James Reimer will take on the Dallas Stars on Sunday, looking to keep up his perfect record for the season. He is 2-0-0 for the season with a 1.54 goals-against average and a .932 save percentage. Reimer could be set to feature a lot more in the upcoming games after Petr Mrazek […]

Nils Hoglander Picks Up Third Goal of Season in Win over Jets

Vancouver Canucks rookie forward Nils Hoglander pocketed his third goal of the season Saturday night as the Canucks topped the Jets 4-1. In a game where teammate Brock Boeser scored twice and took over the top spot for goals scored in the league, it would be easy to overlook Hoglander's scoring, but with his first-period […]

Thatcher Demko Stops 23, Wins Third Straight

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko stopped 23 of the 24 shots from Winnipeg on Saturday night, earning him his third consecutive win and a .970 save percentage over those games.

James Harden Ruled Out Versus Wizards

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (thigh) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Washington Wizards. This will be the first game that Harden has missed a game since he joined the Nets. Both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving will see a higher usage without Harden on the court. Although, Joe Harris could be […]

Derrick Favors Should Play On Sunday

Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (back) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Favors has a long history with knee and back problems, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Jazz ease him back into the rotation. Honestly, Favors wasn't doing enough to warrant adding in standard leagues anyway. He'll be […]

Gordon Hayward Has Bounce Back Performance In Victory

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward finished with 27 points, three rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and one turnover on 10-for-22 shooting from the field, 5-for-11 from three-point range and 2-for-2 from the free-throw line in Saturday's 126-114 victory against the Bucks. Hayward managed to have a bounce back performance after struggling with his […]

Donovan Mitchell Probable For Sunday

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (head) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He has missed each of the last two games after suffering a concussion on Tuesday. It sounds like Mitchell is ready to go, which will mean less minutes for Joe Ingles. He was playing well without Mitchell in […]

LaMelo Ball Scores Career-High 27 Points Against Bucks

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball finished with a career-high 27 points on 8-for-10 shooting from the field, 2-for-3 from deep, and 9-for-9 from the free-throw line in Saturday's 126-114 victory against the Bucks. The 19-year-old added nine assists, five rebounds, four steals and one turnover in the impressive performance, while snapping a streak of three […]

Nerlens Noel Ruled Out Versus Clippers

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This won't have a huge impact on the rotation since Mitchell Robinson was already the starting center. Taj Gibson would see extended playing time, while Julius Randle could see a few minutes at center. The biggest […]

LPL DFS Picks for 2/1: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

I think we all knew last night felt too easy, and with KT getting run, it certainly proved to be a bit of a disaster. I know I got crushed, and it would have taken me at least two wives worth of lineups to arrive at Bang captain lineups. What's done is done right, and […]
