Mets - Rockies Game Postponed Friday

The Friday evening game between the New York Mets and Colorado Rockies has been postponed due to inclement weather. The two teams will play a doubleheader on Saturday. Fantasy managers in DFS and in season-long leagues with daily lineups should act accordingly. The Mets have been one of the most unlucky teams in 2021 when […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Richmond ToyotaCare 250 (4/17/21)

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is back for the first time since the Bristol dirt race on March 29th. This week, we head to Richmond for the ToyotaCare 250. We have a Kyle Busch appearance in this race, so things might wind up being a little more predictable than we'd like. But hey, you've […]

Jakub Vrana Scores In Debut With Red Wings

Detroit Red Wings winger Jakub Vrana was able to light the lamp in his debut with his new team on Thursday. Detroit ended up beating Chicago 4-1. Besides scoring, Vrana registered three shots on goal and logged almost 17:00 minutes of playing time. The Czech forward could see more of an opportunity to play and […]

Washington May Target A QB In The Draft

The Washington Football Team holds the 19th overall pick in this year's NFL draft, and they may not be done adding to the quarterback position despite bringing in veteran signal-caller Ryan Fitzpatrick this offseason. General manager Martin Mayhew said that the team is open to trading up or back from the 19th overall pick. Fitzpatrick […]

Hamidou Diallo Likely Out Versus Thunder

Detroit Pistons forward Hamidou Diallo (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Pistons might use this as a rest day for Diallo. His playing time has decreased lately, which is making him a cut-candidate in many formats. Josh Jackson […]

Derrick Favors Sitting Out Versus Pacers

Utah Jazz forward Derrick Favors (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so this is likely a rest day more than anything else. Ersan Ilyasova and Georges Niang are expected to see increased roles without Favors available. Niang has put together some […]

Jordan Clarkson Available On Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has missed each of the last four games due to an ankle issue. It's uncertain if he'll be limited at all, but Royce O'Neale (rest) is out, so Clarkson would see an extended role. Fantasy managers should check back […]

Aristides Aquino Placed On 10-Day Injured List

The Cincinnati Reds have placed outfielder Aristides Aquino (hand) on the 10-day injured list. Aquino underwent surgery to remove the hook of his hamate in his left hand on Friday morning. Infielder Max Schrock was called up from the alternate site in a corresponding move. Aquino has struggled to earn playing time this year amidst […]

Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin Returning On Friday

Brooklyn Nets forwards Kevin Durant (rest) and Blake Griffin (rest) have been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Both players sat out the front end of the back-to-back set. Fantasy managers should feel safe about plugging Durant back into their lineups. Griffin has been getting minutes in the […]

Nick Ahmed Absent From Friday's Starting Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Max Scherzer and the Washington Nationals. Josh Rojas is getting the start at shortstop and batting eighth in the game. Ahmed began the season on the injured list as he was dealing with patellar tendinitis in his right knee. He's […]

Camilo Doval Called Up By Giants

The San Francisco Giants have called up relief pitcher Camilo Doval. He will be taking the roster spot of Johnny Cueto (lat), who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 lat strain on Friday. This is Doval's first call-up to the Majors. He has a 100 mph fastball and has shown […]

Kyle Connor Snipes Twice In Jets Win

Winnipeg Jets forward Kyle Connor helped his squad defeat Toronto 5-2 on Thursday. Connor netted his 20th and 21st goals this year in the Jets victory. He has been an enormous component in Winnipeg's success in 2021, compiling 21 goals and 22 helpers in 44 contests. The Shelby Township, Michigan native seems to be always […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s Hot Start Is For Real

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is off to a fantastic start in 2021 and has reached base safely in all 13 of the team's games. His 1.200 OPS ranks eighth among qualified hitters, and his .413 batting average ranks sixth. Guerrero hit the longest homer of his career (456 feet) on Thursday. […]

Goran Dragic Expected To Play Friday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (rest) is expected to be available for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has struggled lately and desperately needed a day off on Wednesday. His return will mean less minutes for Kendrick Nunn and Tyler Herro won't have as much upside. Dragic is a risky DFS option since he […]

Taylor Hall Records First Goal As A Bruin

Boston Bruins forward Taylor Hall tallied his first point with his new team on Thursday. Boston knocked off the New Islanders 4-1 to stay in fourth place in the MassMutual East division. Hall has played two games with his new teammates producing a goal and six shots on net. He has seen time playing wing […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Friday (4/16/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

With only four games Thursday, Friday bounces back with a massive 11-game slate. There are very few teams playing at full-strength every night during this part of the season, meaning the games should stay competitive, much like they were Thursday. Jaylen Brown had another spectacular outing and even though he only hit one more three-pointer […]

Myles Turner, Doug McDermott Questionable For Friday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) and forward Doug McDermott (ankle) are listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Both players were unable to play on Wednesday, but have a decent chance of returning here. Jeremy Lamb would likely lose some streaming appeal with McDermott back in the rotation. Goga Bitadze has […]

Garrett Hampson Slugs First Long Ball Of The Season

Colorado Rockies center fielder Garrett Hampson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in a 7-5 loss to the Dodgers on Thursday. Hampson pulled a Julio Urias fastball over the wall in left field for his first home run of the season and his only hit of the night. He also struck […]

Lonzo Ball Available On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (hip) is available for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He has missed each of the last four games due to a hip flexor issue. Ball has seen terrible luck with injuries this season, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Pelicans ease him back into action. His […]

Emmanuel Clase Throwing Gas

Cleveland Indians right-handed reliever Emmanuel Clase is the hardest-throwing pitcher in baseball. He has averaged 100.1 mph on his cutter, making him the only Major Leaguer to average triple digits through the first two weeks of the 2021 season. Clase missed all of last year after testing positive for a banned performance-enhancing substance, but he's […]

Marc Gasol Hopeful To Play Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol (hand) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has been diagnosed with a fractured finger on his left hand. However, Gasol believes it won't be much of an issue because it is on his left hand, which he doesn't use as much. Andre Drummond […]

Alec Bohm Hitting Well In Heart Of Phillies Lineup

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm has been a regular in the heart of the Phillies lineup this year. He's been primarily slotting in as the team's fourth or fifth hitter lately. Through 12 games on the year, Bohm is slashing .233/.277/.349 with one home run, two doubles, three walks, five RBI and five runs. […]

Alec Burks Won't Play Friday

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He'll sit this one out due to the NBA's health and safety guidelines. It's uncertain when Burks will get back on the court, so he has become a cut-candidate in some formats. Reggie Bullock has more upside and […]

Ryan McMahon Swats Sixth Home Run Of The Year

Colorado Rockies second baseman Ryan McMahon went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run, and two runs scored in a 7-5 loss to the Dodgers on Thursday. McMahon put the Rockies on the board in the top of the first inning when he pulled a Julio Urias curveball for his sixth home run of the […]

Michael Kopech Good At Avoiding Contact

Chicago White Sox rookie right-hander Michael Kopech has generated a 23.7 percent swing-and-miss rate early this season. The mark is seventh-best among the 391 pitchers with at least 50 pitches thrown so far this season. Kopech averages 97 mph with his fastball and pairs it with a dirty slider that hitters have a tough time […]

Nick Nelson Starting For Yankees On Friday

The New York Yankees are going with pitcher Nick Nelson as an opener in Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Michael King will follow Nelson in relief. Yankees manager Aaron Boone stated that he wanted to give the team's starters an extra day of rest. Jordan Montgomery will take the mound on Saturday with […]

Trevor Rogers Generating Plenty Of Whiffs

Miami Marlins rookie left-hander Trevor Rogers has generated a 51.1 percent whiff rate on his four-seam fastball this year, and that was prior to his start on Wednesday against the Atlanta Braves. Batters are missing his 95.5 mph average fastball over half the time when they swing at it. Jacob deGrom ranks second on four-seam […]

Jeff McNeil Hitting Just .174 Through Nine Games

New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil has struggled out of the gate in 2021. Through nine games, he's slashing .174/.296/.304 with only one extra-base hit, a home run. His plate discipline has been fantastic as always. He's only struck out twice and he's walked three times. He has a 33.3% hard-hit rate so far this […]

Yency Almonte Takes The Loss On Thursday

Colorado Rockies right-hander Yency Almonte took the loss on Thursday against the Dodgers when he surrendered three runs on one hit with two walks and a strikeout in just two-thirds of an inning. Almonte entered the game in the bottom of the seventh inning with the Rockies clinging to a 7-5 lead. He struck out […]
