DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Lineup Picks for 1/29/21 - Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The week of EuroLeague ends with a larger five-game slate. Yesterday, Khimki getting blown off the court hurt the bottom line. Today I'm more focused on finding the matchups that can produce a high scoring but close game at the same time. There isn't as much value on this slate, but we also don't have […]

Cardinals Bring Back Adam Wainwright

The St. Louis Cardinals are re-signing starting pitcher Adam Wainwright to a one-year deal on Thursday believed to be worth $8 million. The 39-year-old was the team's most reliable pitcher in the shortened 2020 season, throwing two shutouts and posting a 3.15 ERA in his 15th season with St. Louis. The three-time All-Star made his […]

Frederik Andersen Likely To Start Against Oilers

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen is set to make his seventh appearance of the season on Thursday against the Oilers. The 31-year-old Dane had a rocky start to the year by giving up nine goals in his first two starts, but he has coughed up only eight goals since then. Andersen is tied for […]

The Washington Nationals agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent catcher Alex Avila on Thursday. The left-handed hitter will serve as the backup in D.C. and pair with veteran Yan Gomes. Avila, who will turn 34 years old on Friday, is entering his 13th big-league season. He hit just .184 in 49 at-bats over […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 1/29: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

T1 going to T1, I guess. I went on record as 60/40 Gumayusi/Teddy and took the L. On the upside, I get to continue to use my Liquid Metal T1 meme, so that's nice. We will have to continue to watch T1 closely and tread lightly when they are in the late game. Their new […]

John Gibson Aims To Continue With Good Form On Thursday

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson will look to make it back-to-back wins against Arizona on Thursday. He produced his second shutout of the season against the Coyotes with 31 saves in Tuesday's 1-0 win. Gibson took a bad 5-2 loss in his first appearance of the season, but he has since then put together a […]

Kohl Stewart Signs With Cubs

The Chicago Cubs signed free-agent right-hander Kohl Stewart to a one-year, $700,000 deal on Thursday.

Slater Koekkoek Joins Lineup On Thursday

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Slater Koekkoek will be back in the lineup for Thursday's clash with the Maple Leafs. He played in the first seven games of the season, before being scratched for Tuesday's 6-4 loss to Winnipeg. Koekkoek will play on the third pairing with Tyson Barrie. A lot has been expected by the former […]

Derek Stepan Out Thursday With Undisclosed Injury

Ottawa Senators center Derek Stepan (undisclosed) won't feature Thursday night against the Canucks. Filip Chlapik will play in his place. Defenseman Christian Wolanin (lower body) is also ruled out and has been placed on the injured reserve. Stepan is rated day-to-day, so he likely won't be missing for long. He's desperately in need of a […]

Braden Holtby Returns To Vancouver's Crease

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Braden Holtby will be back between the pipes on Thursday against Ottawa after sitting out the last two games. Holtby watched Thatcher Demko beat the Senators in back-to-back games, and he can now take his own shot at them. He is carrying a 2-2-0 record for the season with a 3.70 goals-against […]

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) has been ruled out Friday against the Denver Nuggets. However, White is expected to return Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Darcy Kuemper Hoping For More Goal Support On Thursday

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Darcy Kuemper will make his seventh start of the season on Thursday when the team takes on Anaheim.

San Jose Sharks goaltender Devan Dubnyk will get the nod for the third time this season on Thursday against the Colorado Avalanche. He is winless so far with a 0-2-0 record.

Jamie Benn Placed On Injured Reserve

Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn (lower body) has been placed on the Injured Reserve, retroactive to Jan. 22, the team announced. The Stars captain hasn't played since getting injured in the team's season-opener last Friday. He was a game-time decision on Tuesday against the Red Wings, so it seems like whatever is bothering Benn isn't […]

Jake Oettinger Gets First Career Start

Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger will get his first career start on Thursday when the team will host Detroit. The 22-year-old had a couple of relief performances during last year's playoffs, saving all eight shots, so he has got some experience in the league, but it's very marginal. With that said, it's a good matchup […]

Jonathan Quick Looks To Extend Point Streak

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick will start on Thursday against the Minnesota Wild, looking to extend his point streak to five games. The veteran netminder is off to a 2-0-2 start to the season with a 3.15 goals-against average and a .898 save percentage. The Kings have provided him with some really good goal […]

Avery Bradley And Andre Iguodala Ruled Out Thursday

News keeps getting worse for the Miami Heat as guard Avery Bradley (knee) and forward Andre Iguodala (neck) were ruled out Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Heat are already without Jimmy Butler (health and safety protocols) and Goran Dragic (groin) so they will be heavily depleted on the wing. The good news is […]

Alex Pietrangelo Placed On COVID-19 List

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo has been placed on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list. The news comes after Vegas' Thursday's matchup with the St. Louis Blues was postponed. The Knights played on Tuesday against the Blues with the whole regular coaching staff missing from the bench, as they were self-isolating "out of an abundance […]

Tyler Herro Expected To Play Thursday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (neck) will play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Herro has been dealing with neck spasms and will return to the court after a 7-game absence. Herro's return could not come soon enough as the Heat are still missing Jimmy Butler (health and safety protocols) and have lost four straight […]

Andreas Athanasiou Added To COVID-19 List

Los Angeles Kings forward Andreas Athanasiou won't play on Thursday against Minnesota after he was added to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list. It's a big blow for the typically low-scoring Kings, as Athanasiou has been one of the most productive players on the team early in the season with three goals and five points in […]

Cam Talbot Remains Out On Thursday

Minnesota Wild goaltender Cam Talbot (lower body) was on the ice and taking shots in Thursday's practice, but he won't feature against the Kings. He hasn't played since exiting a 4-1 win over San Jose early on Jan. 22. The Wild will rely on Kaapo Kahkonen again Thursday night. The 24-year-old had a nice start […]

Duncan Robinson Available Thursday Against Clippers

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson (quad) will be available Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Robinson played 36 minutes Wednesday, but popped up on the injury report as questionable with a quad injury.
