Wizards-Pistons Contest Set For Friday Postponed

The Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons will not face off Friday night as previously scheduled due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. Since a win Monday, the Wizards have had contact-tracing issues, which first wiped out Wednesday's game against the Jazz. The Pistons had been set to kick off a back-to-back beginning Friday, but will instead […]

Taysom Hill Sidelined Wednesday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (knee) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Hill touched the ball just seven times in the wild-card win over the Bears, and his knee injury likely had something to do with that. The 30-year-old Swiss Army Knife carried the ball four times for 15 yards and caught two […]

Warriors-Suns Matchup Set For Friday Has Been Postponed

The Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns were set to square off Friday night, but the game has been postponed due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. Phoenix had their Wednesday contest against Atlanta postponed due to contact-tracing issues after playing versus the Wizards earlier in the week. There have been no confirmed COVID-19 cases within […]

Jared Cook Receives Limited Tag Wednesday

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (back), offensive tackle Terron Armstead (elbow) and defensive end Trey Hendrickson (neck) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback, Cook should play against the Buccaneers on Sunday night in the Divisional Round. Hendrickson, who had a career-high 13.5 sacks this year, looks to be improving […]

Eric Bledsoe Will Be Sidelined For Wednesday’s Game

New Orleans Pelicans point/shooting guard Eric Bledsoe (eye) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Clippers due to an irritated right eye. His absence leaves the Pelicans without three starters, as he joins Zion Williamson (COVID-19) and Lonzo Ball (knee) on the sidelines. With the team's starting back court unavailable, look for Nickeil […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Will Suit Up Wednesday

The Los Angeles Lakers will have both point guard/small forward LeBron James (ankle) and power forward/center Anthony Davis (back) at their disposal for Wednesday's contest versus the Thunder after the duo popped up on the injury report with questionable tags. Despite the game coming on the second leg of a back-to-back, both James and Davis […]

Marcus Peters, Matt Judon Remain Out Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters (back) and linebacker Matt Judon (illness) remain out of practice on Wednesday for the second straight day. Both players will need to get in at least a limited practice on Thursday to have a shot at suiting up for the Divisional Round matchup against the Bills on Saturday night. Baltimore's […]

Tyler Bass Returns To Practice

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass (hand) returned to practice on Wednesday after being sidelined on Tuesday with a hand injury. Bass should be fine to kick against the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Round on Saturday night after he connected on both of his field-goal tries and all three of his extra points in the […]

Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo Remain Unavailable Thursday

The eight Miami Heat players that missed Tuesday's game due to the league's health and safety protocols have also been ruled out for Thursday's contest versus the 76ers. That group features Bam Adebayo, Jimmy Butler, Goran Dragic, Kendrick Nunn, Avery Bradley, Maurice Harkless, KZ Okpala, and Udonis Haslem. With the Heat's rotations likely to look […]

Cooper Kupp, John Wolford Miss Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (knee) and quarterback John Wolford (neck) both missed practice on Wednesday. Kupp also sat out of the walk-through on Tuesday. He's reportedly just dealing with bursitis in his knee, but it's something to watch as we approach Saturday's Divisional Round contest against the Packers. He'll need to get […]

Mike Evans, Chris Godwin Limited In Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (knee) and Chris Godwin (hip, quadriceps) and cornerback Carlton Davis (groin) were limited in practice Wednesday. Edge rusher Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) did not practice. Barring any setbacks, Evans and Godwin should be good to go against the Saints in the Divisional Round on Sunday night. Evans had six […]

Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Okogie Cleared To Start Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) and shooting guard/small forward Josh Okogie (hamstring) have both been given the green light to suit up for Wednesday's contest versus the Grizzlies after drawing questionable tags. Towns missed the team's latest game on the second leg of a back-to-back while being eased back into the mix following a […]

Ravens Defense Will Bring Pressure Against Bills

The Baltimore Ravens Defense doesn't plan to change their blitz-heavy approach against Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in the Divisional Round matchup this Saturday night. Allen was among the best QBs at handling pressure in 2020, with the Ravens having blitzed an NFL-high 41 percent of the time this season. Allen has thrown a league-leading […]

Carey Price Looks To Continue Recent Success Versus Maple Leafs

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will be between the pipes for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The former MVP posted a 3-0-0 record against the high-flying Leafs offense last year and excelled throughout the playoff bubble. Jake Allen will take away some starts, but Price remains a top-10 fantasy goalie. The Canadiens improved […]

Derrick Rose Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Detroit Pistons point/shooting guard Derrick Rose (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks due to persistent knee issues. Fantasy managers can eye Delon Wright as a DFS target, as he should have unabated minutes at the PG slot with Frank Jackson likely to serve as his backup. Rose's absence will mark […]

New York Without Reggie Bullock For Wednesday’s Game

New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Reggie Bullock (hip) has been ruled out for his second consecutive contest Wednesday against Brooklyn due to a sore right hip. His absence comes as rookie Obi Toppin (calf) has been cleared to rejoin the rotation, although head coach Tom Thibodeau was mum about the role that Toppin might […]

Jared Veldheer Placed On COVID-19 List

The Green Bay Packers placed recently signed offensive tackle Jared Veldheer on the Reserve/COVID-19 list due to a positive test for the virus. It means that Veldheer will not make history (at least not yet) and become the first player in NFL history to play for two different teams in the same postseason. The 33-year-old […]

Kristaps Porzingis Making Season Debut Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been cleared to start Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, which will mark his season debut. Porzingis' season debut will also come with a minutes restriction, although head coach Rick Carlisle has not specified what that number will be. Season-long fantasy managers that have waited nearly the first […]

Latavius Murray Day-To-Day

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray (quadriceps) missed practice on Wednesday and is considered day-to-day, according to a source. Murray is working to be available in the Division Round against the Buccaneers, but his status is up in the air right now. The veteran back was injured in the wild-card win over the Bears. […]

Alex Tuch Cleared For Opening Night

Vegas Golden Knights left wing Alex Tuch (undisclosed) will play in Thursday's season opener against the Anaheim Ducks. The 24-year-old has been hampered by a minor ailment, but nothing serious enough to keep him out of action. Tuch played well across last season's playoff run, tallying eight goals in 20 games. Unfortunately, he remains buried […]

Rodions Kurucs, Dante Exum Sent To Houston

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs and Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dante Exum (calf) have been traded to the Houston Rockets in a massive blockbuster deal. Most importantly, the Rockets received Victor Oladipo and seven first-round picks in exchange for James Harden. They also snag two depth players in Kurucs and Exum. The Rockets have plenty of […]

Philipp Grubauer Will Start Wednesday Against Blues

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Philipp Grubauer will man the crease against the St. Louis Blues on Wednesday. The German netminder is the presumptive No. 1 for the Avalanche, but Pavel Francouz will also see a steady amount of playing time. Both goaltenders make for viable fantasy options, as the Avs project to be one of the […]

Cavs Acquiring Taurean Prince

Brooklyn Nets forward Taurean Prince has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers as part of the massive James Harden trade. He'll bring depth and a veteran presence to Cleveland, but his fantasy value will remain irrelevant. Isaac Okoro, Cedi Osman and Larry Nance Jr. are all in front of Prince on the depth chart. Prince […]

Tristan Jarry Manning The Crease On Wednesday

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry is the starter for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. He posted a 20-12-1 record with a .921 save percentage last season. Now that Matt Murray is in Ottawa, the Penguins' crease is Jarry's for the foreseeable future. He is a mid-tier DFS play on Wednesday against a potent Flyers […]

Jarrett Allen Joins Cavaliers

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen is heading to the Cleveland Cavaliers in part of a massive trade involving James Harden. Allen recently jumped DeAndre Jordan on the depth chart, but that didn't last long. He'll head to Cleveland where he'll get to compete with Andre Drummond (Achilles) for playing time. Luckily for Allen, Drummond is […]

Carter Hart Tabbed For Opening Night Duties

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart will man the crease on Wednesday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 22-year-old was 24-13-3 with a 2.42 goals-against average last season. Hart may be the most valuable fantasy goalie in dynasty formats, and figures to be a workhorse again for the Flyers despite a condensed schedule. He remains a […]

Victor Oladipo Heading To Houston

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo has been traded to the Houston Rockets in part of a blockbuster deal. Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert went to the Pacers while Oladipo lands in Houston. The absence of James Harden in Houston should open up a significant amount of touches for other players. The Rockets do have plenty […]

Caris LeVert Lands With Pacers

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert has been traded to the Indiana Pacers in part of a four-team trade. He was originally traded to Houston in part of the James Harden deal, but then the Rockets sent LeVert to Indiana in exchange for Victor Oladipo. Yes, this trade is a little confusing and honestly this isn't […]

James Harden Traded To Brooklyn

Houston Rockets guard James Harden has finally been dealt after all the drama over the last few weeks. The organization reached an agreement in a four-team trade. The Nets acquire Harden, but give up a massive haul for the elite shooter. In exchange for Harden, the Rockets will receive seven first-round picks from Brooklyn. Sadly, […]

Mikko Koskinen Getting The Nod Against Canucks

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mikko Koskinen will start the team's season opener against the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday. The Finnish netminder is expected to split starts with Mike Smith again in 2021. Koskinen tallied a 18-13-3 record with a 2.75 goals-against average last season, and projects to put up similar numbers this campaign. He is a […]
