Ronald Acuna Jr. Day-To-Day With Mild Abdominal Strain

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (abdomen) is considered day-to-day with a mild abdominal strain. Acuna received an MRI on Monday afternoon, which didn't reveal anything more than a mild strain of his abdomen, a positive sign for both the Braves and his fantasy managers. Still, given the injuries the Braves are dealing with, it […]

Adam Eaton Drives In Three Runs

Chicago White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton went 2-for-4 with three RBI in Monday's loss versus the Boston Red Sox. Both of Eaton's hit were doubles and he provided for three of the four runs scored by the White Sox in an ugly 13-4 loss. Eaton has looked healthy in the early going and has found […]

Lucas Giolito Obliterated In Monday’s Start

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito got roughed up in Monday's start versus the Boston Red Sox. Giolito gave up a home run to the first batter he faced, infielder Enrique Hernandez and it went downhill from there. Giolito faced 11 batters and threw 47 pitches in the bottom of the first inning and […]

Isaiah Roby Ruled Out For Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Isaiah Roby (toe) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it's not shocking to see Roby sidelined. The Thunder continue to tank, so this seems to be the new normal for them. Darius Bazley and Aleksej Pokusevski will […]

Ben Simmons Could Sit Against Warriors

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so he shouldn't miss much time if any at all. His absence would mean more minutes for Shake Milton and Tyrese Maxey. Milton is the better option between the […]

Jimmy Butler Might Miss Monday's Game

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He sat out of Sunday's contest and it wouldn't be shocking to see Butler out against the tanking Rockets. Bam Adebayo (knee) has already been ruled out alongside Tyler Herro (foot) for Monday's contest. Kendrick Nunn is looking […]

Marcus Smart Could Sit Versus Bulls

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He is dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so he should be fine to play soon. Both Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have been removed from the injury report ahead of this game. They'll likely be asked to […]

Jeremy Lamb, Doug McDermott Questionable For Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) and forward Doug McDermott (ankle) are listed as questionable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Lamb has been banged up seemingly all season long, so this could be a potential rest game for him. McDermott has missed three games in a row, but is still considered day-to-day. […]

Luguentz Dort Won't Play Monday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it's more of a rest day than anything else. Dort has been playing incredible lately, so he's worth rostering even with rest days. Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and Ty Jerome […]

Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner Questionable For Monday

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (back) and center Myles Turner (toe) are listed as questionable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the Pacers rest a few veteran players. Losing both players would be a significant blow to the […]

Terrence Ross Won't Play In Tuesday's Contest

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It is not a good sign when a player gets ruled out a full day in advance. Although, the Magic don't have much incentive to rush him out there at less than 100 percent. R.J. Hampton and Gary […]

Ilya Sorokin Completes Shutout In Islanders Victory

New York Islanders netminder Ilya Sorokin led his team to a 1-0 overtime win over Philadelphia Sunday. He stopped 30 Flyers shots and recorded his third shutout in his rookie campaign.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Monday (4/19/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

Nine games on Monday's slate are headlined by the surging Phoenix Suns and Giannis Antetokounmpo's Milwaukee Bucks. What should be the highest scoring game of the night, might not mean that each team's top scorer will be the ones leading their teams. Even though Devin Booker and Antetokounmpo are both safe against these specific defenses, […]

Matt Olson Heating Up After Slow Start

Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson is heating up at the plate after a slow start to the season in some brutal matchups. Over the last week, the big first baseman is batting .375 with three homers and seven RBI as it's not a coincidence the A's eight-game win streak is being fueled by Olson […]

Tomma La Stella (1B/2B/3B, SF) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tommy La Stella never blows you away with home run totals or power metrics, but his sustained offensive success for his new west coast ballclub in conjunction with his defensive versatility should ring loud to Fantasy Managers in deeper formats. La Stella […]

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly continued his recent hot streak on Sunday, finishing 1-for-3 with a home run and two walks in a win over the Nationals.

Lou Trivino Settling Into Closer Role For A's

Sean Murphy Blasts First Homer Of 2021

Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy launched his first homer of the season in a 3-2 win over the Tigers on Sunday. Murphy has gotten off to a weird start this season.

Bell's Best Bets - Premium MLB Betting Picks for 4/19/2021

What's up, RotoBallers! We have made it to Week 4of Bell's Best Bets. Week 3 didn't provide the massive turnaround that I had hoped it would, but we did end the week on a positive Sunday after just treading water with a .500 average towards the back half of the week. That means THIS is […]

Yoan Moncada Absent On Monday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada will rest on Monday versus the Boston Red Sox. Moncada has really struggled this season and is hitting .200 with one home run and seven RBI. Managers should remain patient for now with Moncada unlikely to return draft day value in a trade at the moment. Infielder Jake […]
