Josh Okogie Picks Up Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Josh Okogie (hamstring) has popped up on Wednesday's injury report as he continues to battle a hamstring ailment that forced him to miss six games. Okogie sounds as if he's closer to playing than sitting, but his minutes cap likely knocks him from fantasy consideration in most formats. Known for […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Earns Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) has been trending toward a return to action for Wednesday's game versus Memphis, but has been officially designated as questionable due to a persistent wrist injury. Towns returned Saturday and dominated to the tune of 25 points and 13 rebounds, reasserting himself as a premier fantasy asset. The team […]

Joe Ingles Misses Second Game Due To Achilles Issue Tuesday

Utah Jazz small forward Joe Ingles (Achilles) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest versus Cleveland due to a sore right Achilles, marking his second absence in the team's past three games. Ingles has traditionally been difficult to keep off the floor, an indication of the severity of the issue. Utah kept its rotation fairly […]

Eric Paschall Unavailable For Tuesday's Contest

Golden State Warriors power forward Eric Paschall has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus Indiana as he enters the league's COVID-19 protocols. It's unclear immediately how long Paschall could be out, but provided that it's an isolated incident, his absence would likely pave the way for Juan Toscano-Anderson to see an increased role off the […]

Gary Harris Ruled Out For Tuesday’s Contest

Denver Nuggets shooting guard Gary Harris (personal) will miss Tuesday's game versus Brooklyn due to personal reasons. Harris' absence will mark his first of the season, paving the way for P.J. Dozier and Facundo Campazzo to see increased roles. After a slow start to the year from behind the three-point arc, Harris has gotten into […]

Magic-Celtics Contest Set For Wednesday Postponed

The Boston Celtics have had a third consecutive contest postponed due to COVID-19 concerns, with Wednesday's game versus Orlando called off more than 24 hours in advance. Boston continues to undergo extensive contact tracing stemming from Jayson Tatum's positive test, with many players' individual statuses uncertain at this time. The NBA announced Tuesday updated and […]

Kelly Olynyk Receives Green Light To Play Tuesday

Miami Heat power forward/center Kelly Olynyk (groin) has been given the green light to suit up for Tuesday's game versus Philadelphia, giving the team the requisite eight players needed for the contest to take place. With multiple players out due to injury or the league's COVID-19 protocols, Olynyk should see as big of a workload […]

Meyers Leonard Will Miss Tuesday's Game

Miami Heat power forward/center Meyers Leonard (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest versus Philadelphia due to a left shoulder injury. His absence, along with the Heat's extensive injury report due to the league's COVID-19 protocols, means that Miami will be immensely short-handed in the front court. Kelly Olynyk, Andre Iguodala, Chris Silva and Precious […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 1/13: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Our first "big" four-game slate is upon us, and I couldn't be more excited, especially after last night's fiesta. TES what the actual, but imagine how tilted you are if you fired up an RW stack only to not cash thanks to how poorly game one played out. Onward and Upward, as they say, we're […]

Fantasy Basketball Injury Updates for Week 4

The NBA season is still relatively new, but COVID-induced postponements are starting to take over and some teams are currently dealing with thin rosters due to players needing to follow COVID protocols. Thus, this column will feature players who are out because of COVID or because of COVID-related protocols going forward in addition to injuries. […]

Alex Colome Won't Return To White Sox

Free-agent relief pitcher Alex Colome won't be returning to the Chicago White Sox after they signed reliever Liam Hendriks to a three-year deal on Monday night. The San Diego Padres, Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins appear to be those in the mix to add Colome, who is coming off two excellent seasons […]

Andrew Benintendi Deal Could Happen Soon

The Boston Red Sox could trade outfielder Andrew Benintendi soon, but it won't be to the Miami Marlins, according to an industry source. Other teams that have checked in on Benintendi include the Texas Rangers, Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics. The Pittsburgh Pirates could also be a fit. He's entering the back half of a […]

Mutual Interest Between Mets, DJ LeMahieu

There is mutual interest between the New York Mets and free-agent second baseman DJ LeMahieu and the Mets do have salary shedding deals that they could make if they really want to pull off another big signing, but it remains a tricky fit. Following the blockbuster acquisition of shortstop Francisco Lindor and starting pitcher Carlos […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Could Miss Multiple Weeks

Atlanta Hawks forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is going to be sidelined several weeks, according to general manager Travis Schlenk. It doesn't sound like the organization has given an exact timetable, but Bogdanovic will miss some time. Fantasy managers should stash him in an Injured Reserve spot until the Hawks reveal a firm timetable. Kevin Huerter […]

Kyrie Irving Could Miss A Week Of Action

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game and is unlikely to play the rest of the week. The NBA is currently investigating videos of Irving in violation of the league's COVID-19 protocols. It sounds like he won't be back on the court until the league makes their decision. In […]

Derrick Rose Returns To Practice

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (knee) was able to go through portions of practice on Tuesday. Despite that, Rose remains listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Detroit would be forced to lean on Delon Wright for a majority of the point guard minutes, assuming Rose sits. Frank Jackson and Saben Lee […]

Joel Embiid Listed As Probable

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He is dealing with minor back tightness, but was able to play 23 minutes during Monday's contest. There is a good chance Embiid plays here, but fantasy managers should still check back later for another update. The Sixers […]

Ben Simmons Expected To Play Versus Bucks

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He sat out of Monday's game, but it sounds like that was a precautionary move by the organization. Head coach Doc Rivers has downplayed the severity of this knee issue, so fantasy managers should expect Simmons to return […]

Collin Sexton, Darius Garland Remain Out

Cleveland Cavaliers guards Collin Sexton (ankle) and Darius Garland (shoulder) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Sexton will hopefully be back on the court soon, but Garland has missed six straight games without any signs of him ramping up his activities. Damyean Dotson and Cedi Osman will continue seeing increased […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Expected To Play Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. The Lakers are usually pretty loose with the injury report, so fantasy managers should expect Caldwell-Pope to suit up. He dropped seven points in 22 minutes on Sunday. He could be a deep league option, but is […]

Victor Oladipo Could Rest On Tuesday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (rest) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. It's fair to assume that the Pacers play it safe here and rest Oladipo. He has not played in back-to-back sets since suffering his injury in 2019. On Monday, Oladipo played 37 minutes, so it wouldn't be surprising to […]

Marc Leishman Has Been Perfect At Sony Open

After closing out the latter half of 2020 with abysmal play, Marc Leishman looked solid from tee to green in last week's Sentry Tournament of Champions. The Aussie stumbled on the greens at Kapalua, losing over five strokes putting en route to a T21 result. Leishman will have a chance to continue the comeback tour […]

Daniel Berger A Top Fantasy Option At Sony Open

Daniel Berger heads to this week's Sony Open in Hawaii on the heels of a strong top-10 performance at the Sentry Tournament of Champions. Berger has been remarkably consistent over the past year, missing just one cut in his last 19 starts. He's also fared well in previous trips to the Sony, making the cut […]

Joaquin Niemann Coming Off Playoff Loss At Sentry

Joaquin Niemann lost on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff at last week's Sentry Tournament of Champions. The young star fired a final-round 64 to finish regulation tied with eventual winner Harris English. It was another step in the right direction for Niemann, a player that's been riding a hot streak over the last […]

Seahawks Sign John Schneider To Contract Extension

The Seattle Seahawks signed general manager John Schneider to a contract extension on Tuesday that will keep him with the team through the 2027 draft. Schneider has helped build the Seahawks into one of the league's best franchises over the last decade. He's in his 11th season as the team's GM and also helped bring […]

Ryan Palmer Heads To Sony Open In Sharp Form

Ryan Palmer heads to this week's Sony Open in Hawaii in sharp form. The Texan is coming off an impressive fourth-place performance at last week's Sentry Tournament of Champions and has now logged top-five finishes in each of his last two starts. Palmer has a great chance to keep things rolling this week at Waialae, […]

Marlins Interested In Willson Contreras, Andrew Benintendi

The Miami Marlins have interest in trading for Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras. With the team currently projected to start the 2021 season with a platoon of Jorge Alfaro and Chad Wallach behind the plate, catcher is one of Miami's biggest needs. Miami is also one of several teams engaged with the Boston Red Sox […]

Hideki Matsuyama Looks To Rebound At Sony Open

Hideki Matsuyama disappointed his DFS backers with an extremely disappointing T41 finish in last week's Sentry Tournament. Matsuyama lost a hard-to-fathom 9.7 strokes putting at Kapalua, the worst putting performance of his career. We can expect the Japanese superstar to rebound to some extent this week, but his putting stroke is certainly a point of […]
