Jon Jay Agrees With Angels

The Los Angeles Angels signed free-agent outfielder Jon Jay to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training on Thursday. The 36-year-old has played with six different teams in the major leagues over 11 years and hit .295/.359/.396 in 2,424 plate appearances with the Cardinals from 2010-14 in his best seasons. Since 2018, […]

DeMarcus Cousins Posts Double-Double

Houston Rockets center DeMarcus Cousins finished with 16 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Heat. An ankle injury has kept starting center Christian Wood out, meaning Cousins has seen his minutes increase. The big man has posted at least seven points and seven rebounds in […]

Ian Heinisch Looking To Get Back Into Middleweight Picture

Ian Heinisch (14-3) scored a knockout victory in his only bout last season, knocking out Gerald Meerschaert in the first round of their June battle. Rebounding from back-to-back losses, Heinisch hopefully turned the corner and is back on track to get into title contentions at some point in 2021. DraftKings has the Hurricane as the […]

Raiders To Release Tyrell Williams

The Las Vegas Raiders plan to release wide receiver Tyrell Williams at the start of the new league year next month, according to a source. Williams missed all of the 2020 season with a shoulder injury that required surgery. But he's turning just 29 years old on Friday and should be fully healthy in two […]

Kelvin Gastelum Seeks To Avoid Fourth Loss In A Row

Kelvin Gastelum (16-6) enters the Octagon at UFC 258 in absolute dire need of a victory on Saturday. Currently, Gastelum is on a three-fight losing streak and is without a victory since May of 2018.

Martin Jones Remains Sharks Starter With Devan Dubnyk Injured

San Jose Sharks goaltender Martin Jones will make his eighth start of the season on Thursday against the Kings, who he beat in a shootout with a 24-save effort on Tuesday. Jones suddenly finds himself with a really good 5-2-0 record, despite allowing close to four goals per game (3.70) and registering a lowly .878 […]

Tigers Agree With Nomar Mazara Thursday

The Detroit Tigers signed free-agent outfielder Nomar Mazara to a one-year, $1.75 million deal on Thursday, according to a source. The White Sox non-tendered Mazara when he hit .228 (31-for-136) with one home run, 15 RBI and a .589 OPS. That was coming off four straight seasons of 19-20 homers with Texas. He'll turn 26 […]

Jim Miller Battles Another Veteran In Bobby Green

A member of the UFC since 2008, Jim Miller (32-15) will enter the Octagon on Saturday looking to get 2021 off on the right foot after going 1-2 in 2020. Throughout his career, Miller has tallied 18 submissions out of his 32 victories. DraftKings has the veteran as the underdog against Bobby "King" Green with […]

Cal Petersen Set For Third Consecutive Start

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Cal Petersen will make his third consecutive start on Thursday against the Sharks. The 26-year-old carries a poor 1-4-1 record for the season and has taken four L's on the bounce, but his save percentage stands strong at .925 and his goals-against average isn't bad either at 2.56. Jonathan Quick, who […]

The Boston Red Sox agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal with free-agent utility man Marwin Gonzalez on Thursday, according to a source. The Toronto Blue Jays were also interested in him. The 31-year-old has played every position except pitcher and catcher in his nine-year career. He also switch hits and should see plenty of […]

Thatcher Demko Starts On Thursday Night

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko will be between the pipes for Calgary's visit on Thursday. The 25-year-old will look to bounce back from a couple of very poor outings, after he coughed up seven goals against Toronto in his last start and allowed four goals versus Montreal the game before. Demko is 3-5-0 for the […]

John Gibson Good To Go Thursday

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (face) will return to the crease for Thursday's matchup versus Vegas. The 27-year-old missed Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Golden Knights after getting hurt in Monday's practice, but it was just a minor thing. Gibson has struggled lately and his record for the season has dropped to 4-3-3. He has […]

Shea Theodore Out On Thursday

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore (undisclosed) is out for Thursday's clash with Anaheim and is listed as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. The former Duck is forced to the sidelines at a really bad time, as he had managed to put together a season-high four-game point streak. He'll have a pretty decent replacement, though, […]

Tom Brady To Have Surgery On His Knee

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady (knee) will have a minor surgical procedure on his knee, with head coach Bruce Arians calling the surgery "a clean-up." The 43-year-old seven-time Super Bowl champion dealt with some knee discomfort for most of the 2020 season and will have it cleaned up this offseason. Brady had a brace […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Upgraded To Doubtful

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (quad) has been upgraded to doubtful for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He suffered a right quad injury in late January and was expected to miss four weeks. It sounds like he is ahead of schedule since he has already been listed as doubtful. Fantasy managers should […]

Bobby Green Looking To Continue His Resurgence

Bobby Green (27-11-1) saw a revitalization in his career last year, earning a 3-1 record in 2020. A veteran of the UFC since 2013, Green has secured 17 of his 27 wins by knockout/TKO or submission. In 2020, all three of his victories came by unanimous decision. DraftKings has King listed as the favorite headed […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander To Sit Out Versus Nuggets

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It sounds like he had a slight setback, so the Thunder will take the cautious approach here. Theo Maledon will be sidelined as well, so the Thunder are going to be shorthanded for this game. Hamidou Diallo […]

Mike Conley Ruled Out For Friday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The veteran guard will miss his third game in a row with a hamstring issue. It's unclear when Conley is going to get back on the court. Until then, Joe Ingles and Jordan Clarkson will see increased playing […]

Shake Milton Ruled Out Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was listed as doubtful earlier in the day, but the Sixers are going to take the cautious approach here. Tyrese Maxey is expected to see increased time in the rotation with Milton sidelined. Furkan Korkmaz will […]

James Wiseman Will Miss At Least One More Week

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (wrist) has been further shut down due to persistent wrist pain, per head coach Steve Kerr. There was hope that Wiseman could return as soon as Thursday's game versus Orlando, but that was quickly scratched Wednesday. Now, the Warriors are looking at deploying Draymond Green and Eric Paschall as […]

CJ Elleby Ruled Out For Thursday’s Contest

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard/small forward CJ Elleby (illness) will miss Thursday's game against the 76ers due to an illness. Elleby scored a career-high 15 points last Thursday when the two teams faced off, but that came with Damian Lillard unavailable, which opened up additional upside for all healthy Blazers. Aside from that showing, Elleby […]

Maki Pitolo In Need Of Victory To Open Main Card

Maki Pitolo (13-7) has struggled since his Contender Series victory in July of 2019, going 1-3 inside the Octagon. When he is able to get the victory, it is typically by finish, with 10 of those 13 victories coming by finish. Last competing in August of last year, Pitolo is in need of a victory […]

Nassir Little Cleared To Return Thursday On Minutes Cap

Portland Trail Blazers small/power forward Nassir Little (knee) has been given the green light to get back in action on his birthday for Thursday's game versus Philadelphia, but head coach Terry Stotts confirmed that the second-year wing would be facing a minutes restriction. Little's last outing saw him go for a career-high 30 points, but […]

Gary Harris, P.J. Dozier Out Friday, Without Timetable For Return

Denver Nuggets shooting guards/small forwards Gary Harris (groin) and P.J. Dozier (hamstring) will miss Friday's contest against the Thunder. Neither player has taken the floor this month, and having been ruled out in excess of 24 hours prior to tip-off, they're likely not on track to return in the immediate future. Will Barton and Michael […]

Julian Marquez Makes Return After Long Absence

Returning to the Octagon after nearly three years away, Julian Marquez (7-2) will make his return after rehabbing from several surgeries on his lat muscle in his middle back. His last taste of action came in July of 2018 when he suffered a split-decision loss to Alessio Di Chirico. Throughout his professional career, every time […]

Brandon Clarke Headlines Three Grizzlies Out For Friday

Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Brandon Clarke (calf), shooting guard/small forward Desmond Bane (personal), and point/shooting guard De'Anthony Melton (shoulder) have all been ruled out for Friday's game versus the Lakers. Clarke's absence marks his fourth straight contest out of the mix, with Bane having stepped into the starting five in his place. With Memphis down […]

Miami Scratches Tyler Herro Late Thursday

Miami Heat point/shooting guard Tyler Herro has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Rockets due to the league's health and safety protocols. News of the scratch did not come until just prior to tip-off, but the contest will move forward without Herro in the mix. Kendrick Nunn already figured to see an increased […]

Cole Anthony, Evan Fournier Headline Magic Absences Thursday

Orlando Magic point guard Cole Anthony (shoulder) and shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier (back) are among a group of Magic players unavailable to suit up Thursday versus Golden State. Guard/forward Michael Carter-Williams (foot) and forward Al-Farouq Aminu (knee) are also out, leaving the team's backcourt and wing tremendously short-handed. Frank Mason III figures to see […]

Mason Plumlee Ruled Out Thursday; Isaiah Stewart Will Start

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee (elbow) was a late scratch for Thursday's game versus Indiana, paving the way for Isaiah Stewart to enter the starting five for the first time in his career. Plumlee has found his groove as of late, having scored in double figures in seven of his last eight contests, accumulating five double-doubles […]
