Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was very close to his second double-double of the season on Tuesday, going for 20 points and nine rebounds in a 120-112 loss to San Antonio.

Semyon Varlamov Tabbed For Opening Night Start

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov will be between the pipes for the team's first game of the season on Thursday. The 32-year-old netminder will probably split starts with promising rookie Ilya Sorokin for most of the campaign. This caps both players' fantasy ceilings, but they are viable options in net whenever they start. Varlamov […]

Donovan Mitchell Drops Game-High 27 Points In Win

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell led all scorers during Tuesday's victory over Cleveland with 27 points on 9-for-15 shooting, including going 5-for-7 from behind the arc. Despite the Cavs having entered play Tuesday yielding the fewest PPG in the league, Mitchell was able to log at least 27 points for the fourth time in […]

Jordan Clarkson Knocks Down Five Triples Off Bench

Utah Jazz shooting guard Jordan Clarkson remains instant offense off the bench, and Tuesday's win over the Cavaliers was no different. Without Joe Ingles (Achilles) available in the second unit, Clarkson took on an expanded role, dropping 21 points on 8-for-14 shooting, including tying his season-high by drilling five threes. Traditionally a score-first attacker, Clarkson […]

Brad Marchand Expected To Suit Up Thursday

Boston Bruins left wing Brad Marchand (hernia) is expected to play in the team's season opener on Thursday, despite missing practice the past two days. "He'll be back on the ice tomorrow," said Bruins general manager Don Sweeney on Tuesday. Marchand underwent sports-hernia surgery back in September. The team is being cautious with their star […]

Larry Nance Jr. Goes Ice-Cold From Field In Defeat

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Larry Nance Jr. figured to have immense upside coming into Tuesday's contest versus Utah without Andre Drummond (Achilles, calf) in the mix, but he was unable to capitalize, finishing with just six points and seven rebounds across his 30 minutes. Nance tied his season-high with 11 field-goal attempts but hit only […]

Evander Kane Will Play For Sharks In 2021

San Jose Sharks left wing Evander Kane will play during the 2021 season, according to head coach Bob Boughner.

This is good news for fantasy owners, […]

K'Andre Miller On Opening Night Roster

New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller has made the team's Opening Night roster. The 22nd overall pick from 2018 will play alongside Jacob Trouba on the team's top pair. Miller really impressed throughout training camp and will now get his first crack at the NHL. It is unlikely that he will hold much value in […]

J.T. Miller May Miss Multiple Weeks Due To COVID-19 Concerns

Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller may be sidelined a couple of weeks because of a possible COVID-19 exposure. Miller is currently quarantining and cannot return to the team for at least seven days, even once he supplies three straight negative tests. It is a tough blow for fantasy managers as Miller broke out in a […]

Nico Hischier Making Progress, Will Miss Season Opener

New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier (leg) will not suit up for the team's season opener on Thursday. The former first-overall pick hurt himself while training overseas in Switzerland. Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald is confident in Hischier's progress, which suggests he may be back during the season's first week. The 22-year-old tallied 36 points in […]

Shayne Gostisbehere Will Miss Season Opener

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere (undisclosed) will not play in the team's season opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday. The 27-year-old is still on the Flyers' active roster, however, suggesting the injury is not too serious. Gostisbehere was one of the best offensive defensemen in the league just a few years ago, but has […]

DeMarcus Cousins Has Best Game Of Season

Houston Rockets center DeMarcus Cousins had his best game of the season in a 117-100 loss to the Lakers. Cousins posted his first double-double of the year and added three assists, two triples, and two steals in just 18 minutes. Games like this show that the veteran big man can still be productive when given […]

Phillies Have Chance To Re-Sign J.T. Realmuto And Didi Gregorius

There was pessimism at the start of the offseason that the Philadelphia Phillies could re-sign both catcher J.T. Realmuto and shortstop Didi Gregorius, but there is now a real chance that could happen. It's mid-January and the free-agent markets for both players haven't developed the way they'd hoped back in November. The Mets signed James […]

Anthony Davis Records Double-Double With Five Blocks

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis has been a monster on defense lately, and Tuesday's 117-100 win over the Rockets was no different. Davis notched his fifth double-double of the season and blocked five shots in 29 minutes. He's averaged an absurd 3.4 blocks per game over his last five contests, as he seems to […]

David Price Feeling Great

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher David Price posted a clip of him throwing on Twitter on Tuesday and said he's "never felt better." Price was traded from the Red Sox in the swap involving outfielder Mookie Betts last February, but the left-hander elected not to play in 2020 due to concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic. […]

Michael Fulmer Avoids Salary Arbitration

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer avoided salary arbitration on Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $3.1 million deal.

LeBron James Drops 26 Points In Blowout Win

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James scored 26 points in a blowout win over the Rockets on Tuesday night. James added eight rebounds, five assists, four triples, and a block in 29 minutes. The two-game set against Houston was a big win for his fantasy managers, as the 36-year-old was productive in both blowouts, enabling […]

Lamar Jackson Could Play In First Snow Game Against Buffalo

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is wary of potentially playing in his first ever snow game in the Divisional Round on Saturday against the Buffalo Bills.

Nikola Jokic Notches Double-Double Against Nets

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic compiled 23 points, eight rebounds, 11 assists, seven steals, and one block in 34 minutes during Tuesday's loss to Brooklyn. Jokic stuffed the stat sheet once again and now has a double-double or triple-double in all 11 games played this season. Thus, the center is a strong play going forward […]

Will Barton Scores Season-High 22 Points

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton finished with 22 points, two rebounds, one assist, three steals, and one block in 38 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Nets.

Matt Nagy, Ryan Pace Likely To Be Retained

The Chicago Bears are likely to retain head coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace, according to sources.

Despite their struggle to close […]

Kevin Durant Has Near Triple-Double Against Nuggets

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant finished with 34 points, nine rebounds, and 13 assists in 36 minutes during Tuesday's victory over the Nuggets. In two games since returning from an absence due to COVID-19 protocols, Durant has scored at least 34 points in both. Overall, the superstar is averaging a stellar 29.3 points per game. […]

Matt Judon, Marcus Peters Miss Practice Tuesday

Baltimore Ravens pass-rusher Matt Judon (illness) and cornerback Marcus Peters (back) both were unable to participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice. The Ravens are likely just being cautious and holding Judon and Peters back early in the week ahead of the Divisional Round matchup against the Bills on Saturday. Peters had four solo tackles and has […]

Allen Lazard, Equanimeous St. Brown Limited Tuesday

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Allen Lazard (core, wrist) and Equanimeous St. Brown (ankle, knee) and linebacker Za'Darius Smith (ankle, thumb) were all limited in practice on Tuesday.
