Martin Jones Meets His Favorite Opponent Saturday Night

San Jose Sharks goaltender Martin Jones will take on the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, against whom he has an outstanding 17-5-3 career record. The 31-year-old is 4-1-0 against his former team this season, posting a 2.45 goals-against average with a .929 save percentage and one shutout. Jones kept the Kings at bay with 30 […]

Jonathan Lucroy Signs With Nationals

The Washington Nationals signed catcher Jonathan Lucroy on Saturday night. Lucroy spent spring training with the White Sox but did not make their roster. Washington has yet to play this season thanks to a coronavirus outbreak. Perhaps this signing is a hint that either Yan Gomes or Alex Avila is one of the sidelined players, […]

Ke’Bryan Hayes’ X-Rays Are Negative

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes had x-rays taken of his sore left wrist after he left Saturday's game early and they came back negative. The promising rookie walked and scored in his lone at-bat but was later replaced by pinch hitter Erik Gonzalez in the third inning. Hayes injured the wrist while diving back […]

Valeri Nichushkin Gets Back Into Lineup On Saturday

Colorado Avalanche winger Valeri Nichushkin (upper body) is ready to return from a one-game absence in Saturday's home game against St. Louis. He was out as the Avalanche beat the Blues on Friday 3-2. Nichushkin has been a solid deep league asset this season with 17 points, 64 shots and 39 hits through 35 games. […]

Cody Glass Returns As First-Line Center

Vegas Golden Knights forward Cody Glass will be back in the lineup on Saturday versus Minnesota, and he will center the first line between Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone. The 22-year-old has featured only a handful of times in recent weeks, as the team has been unhappy with his play in even-strength situations. He was […]

Nick Senzel Gets An At-Bat In Saturday Win

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel (shoulder) replaced Jesse Winker (illness) in his team's 9-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. He grounded out to third base in his only at-bat. Winker departed late in the game because he "wasn't feeling great" according to manager David Bell. Senzel's ability to enter the game is […]

Marc-Andre Fleury Makes 26th Start Of The Year

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury is the team's starter for Saturday's rematch against Minnesota. Robin Lehner couldn't save the team from a second consecutive loss when the Wild beat Vegas 3-2 in a shootout on Thursday, and the Flower now has to turn the tide in the matchup. He has lost only eight of […]

Jesse Winker Leaves Saturday's Game With Illness

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker left Saturday's 9-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals with an illness. Winker went 1-for-4 with a run scored before leaving the game. According to manager David Bell, Winker "wasn't feeling great" and was replaced in the game by Nick Senzel. Winker should be able to return in the near […]

Ville Husso Earns 10th Start On Saturday

St. Louis Blues goaltender Ville Husso will make his 10th career start on Saturday against Colorado. The 25-year-old rookie has a winning record so far with 6-3-1, but his goals-against average at 3.40 and save percentage at .885 have a lot of room for improvement. He'll likely need to put on a special show on […]

Philipp Grubauer Faces Struggling Blues On Saturday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Philipp Grubauer will guard the crease against the St. Louis Blues on Saturday. Every matchup looks easy these days for the German, but this one looks particularly good with St. Louis managing only two wins in 12 games ahead of the encounter. Their goals have dried up as well lately as they […]

Tyler Mahle Strikes Out Nine In Win

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Tyler Mahle turned in a solid start in a 9-6 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. Mahle struck out nine while allowing just two earned runs over five innings of work. The veteran earned the win for his efforts and it would have been an even smoother outing for Mahle […]

Jaylen Brown Questionable For Sunday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He exited early during Friday's game due to a knee contusion, but it doesn't sound too serious. However, Aaron Nesmith could become a potential streaming option, assuming Brown sits out. Jayson Tatum would be a favorable DFS choice […]

Elieser Hernandez Leaves Start With Injury

Miami Marlins starter Elieser Hernandez left his start on Saturday night against the Tampa Bay Rays due to an apparent hand or finger injury. He lasted just 2.1 innings before departing. He allowed two runs on two hits, including a home run, and struck out three batters. The final at-bat against Hernandez came at the […]

Cam Talbot Tries To Beat Vegas Again

Minnesota Wild goaltender Cam Talbot is looking to record a second consecutive win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday. He stopped 35 shots against the Knights in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win, which took his record for the year to 10-5-3. Talbot has been on a great run in recent weeks, taking only one regulation […]

James Harden Remains Out On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) won't play on Sunday against Chicago. The veteran has been dealing with tightness in his right hamstring, an ailment that forced him to exit Wednesday's matchup against the Rockets prematurely and subsequently miss Thursday's matchup against Charlotte. With Kevin Durant (hamstring) also out, Kyrie Irving will remain an attractive […]

Zach LaVine, Coby White Probable For Sunday

Chicago Bulls guards Zach LaVine (ankle) and Coby White (neck) are listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. LaVine has been battling an ankle issue for a few weeks, but it sounds like he's healthy enough to suit up. Fantasy managers should make sure he's back into their lineups. White played 24 […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Won’t Play Against OKC

Portland Trail Blazers forward Derrick Jones Jr. (quadriceps) won't play on Saturday night against Oklahoma City. The 24-year-old won't suit up after sustaining a bruise on his right quad, an ailment that could keep him on the shelf beyond the meeting with OKC. With Jones out of the lineup, look for Norman Powell and Carmelo […]

Malcolm Brogdon Misses Second Straight Game

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This marks the second game in a row that Brogdon has missed due to a hip issue. Jeremy Lamb (foot) will join Brogdon on the sideline, so this sets up Edmond Sumner for big minutes on Saturday. […]

Joel Embiid Returning On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will start in Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has not played since mid-March due to a knee issue, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Embiid somewhat limited. That being said, DFS players should be cautious about Embiid here. Season-long managers can go ahead and plug Embiid […]

Mike Conley Out Against Orlando

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) won't play on Saturday night against Orlando. The veteran will sit for load management purposes while attending to a nagging right hamstring that has plagued him for quite some time now. With Conley out of the lineup, look for Donovan Mitchell to see a noticeable bump in usage. Jordan […]

Jordan McLaughlin Starting Versus Sixers

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin will draw the start versus the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday. Ricky Rubio (back) is unavailable for this contest, which leaves the Wolves shorthanded. McLaughlin should get all the minutes he can handle, but he is not a must-have option after his dud outing last game. He could have some deep […]

Hassan Whiteside Out Again On Saturday

Sacramento Kings center Hassan Whiteside (knee) will not play on Saturday evening against the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran continues to miss time while dealing with soreness in his right knee. Though Whiteside could return over the next day or so, the team will continue to rely on Richaun Holmes to handle most of the duties […]

Jeremy Lamb Downgraded To Out

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (foot) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. This marks the third game in a row that Lamb has missed with a foot issue. Edmond Sumner and Doug McDermott will gain the most value from the loss of Lamb. However, neither of them are […]

Eeli Tolvanen Scores Game-Winner On Power Play

Nashville Predators winger Eeli Tolvanen potted the game-winning goal on a power play in Saturday's 3-0 win over Chicago. He opened the scoring 5:56 into the opening frame. Colton Sissons joined him among the goal-scorers with a short-handed marker and Luke Kunin continued his recent good form with a goal as well. Tolvanen was out […]

Otto Porter Jr. Out On Saturday

Orlando Magic forward Otto Porter (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He is dealing with lingering foot pain, so we'll see if Porter is able to suit up for their next contest. Until then, James Ennis and Dwayne Bacon will see increased playing time. Ennis is the better option […]

Chris Flexen Will Have A Short Leash Saturday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen is starting Saturday, against the San Francisco Giants, but he may not get as much leeway as other starters have. Flexen is simply not as stretched out. Flexen has a strong matchup, as the Giants struggled to a .764 OPS in 2020 against right-handed pitching. That said, his likelihood […]

Juuse Saros Moves Third On Nashville's Shutout List

Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros stopped all 41 shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over Chicago to register his 13th career shutout, which puts him third on the team's all-time shutout list. Only Tomas Vokoun (21) and current teammate Pekka Rinne (59) have managed more. Saros and Rinne have split time evenly this season, but Nashville […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Doubtful On Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will likely sit out during Saturday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings. The freak is currently dealing with left knee soreness and comes after he racked up 47 points against Portland on Friday night. With his likely absence, look for Bobby Portis to slide into the starting lineup, with Jrue […]

Sam Haggerty To Get A Start Against The White Sox

Seattle Mariners utility man Sam Haggerty has not yet started a game through the first series of the season, but that will change. The Mariners are slated to face two left-handed starters in their upcoming series against the White Sox, and the switch-hitting Haggerty will start at least one of those games. Haggerty had a […]

Tom Murphy Out Of The Lineup For Second Straight Day

Seattle Mariners catcher Tom Murphy is out of the lineup for the second straight day after starting on opening day. In his stead, Luis Torrens will be behind the plate. Manager Scott Servais insisted in his pre-game news conference that Murphy is not injured, and is just being rested ahead of several upcoming matchups against […]
