Danuel House Named Starting Small Forward

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. will be joining the starting five to begin the regular season. He'll start alongside John Wall, James Harden, P.J. Tucker, and Christian Wood with this revamped starting five. House was an underrated fantasy option last season, so hopefully that will remain the case. Fantasy managers should consider rostering House […]

Luke Kennard Receives Massive Extension

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard has agreed to a four-year, $64 million extension with the organization. Kennard gets paid before making his team debut for the Clippers, but he was well-deserving of a new contract. He averaged 15.8 points last season and improved as a passer with 4.1 assists per game. It'll be interesting […]

Markelle Fultz Staying In Orlando

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz has agreed to a three-year, $50 million extension with the organization. After a horrible beginning to his NBA career, it's nice to see Fultz getting back on track. He averaged 12.1 points, 5.1 assists and 3.3 rebounds last season in Orlando. The Magic believe that the young guard is going […]

Jonathan Isaac Gets Paid By Magic

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) agreed to a four-year, $80 million extension with the organization. He was limited by injuries last season but still averaged 11.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.3 blocks through 34 games. Sadly, Isaac will not play this season due to a torn ACL. Nonetheless, the Magic […]

OG Anunoby Gets Massive Extension

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby received a massive four-year, $72 million extension from the organization. At first glance, this might not seem like a great move, but Anunoby was well-deserving of this deal. He has improved each year he has been in the league and started 68 of 69 games for Toronto last season. Anunoby […]

Zion Williamson Expected To Play Big Minutes

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson is expected to play 33-34 minutes per game, according to head coach Stan Van Gundy. He went on the say that they've been pushing Williamson lately, but they know he needs it if he wants to handle playing 30 or more minutes per game. Last season, Williamson averaged 28 […]

Frank Kaminsky Returning To Phoenix

Sacramento Kings forward Frank Kaminsky has been claimed off waivers by the Phoenix Suns. The former ninth overall pick from 2015 was cut by the Kings at the end of the preseason. He will now be returning to the Suns one month after the organization decided to decline his team option. Kaminsky had some nice […]

Paul Millsap Appears To Be In Great Shape

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap is in great shape right now, according to head coach Mike Malone. The veteran forward averaged 16.7 points through the preseason. Malone mentioned that this is the most engaged he has seen Millsap in his four seasons coaching him. Sadly, Millsap's path to minutes is going to be cloudy with […]

Nicolas Claxton Ruled Out For Season Opener

Brooklyn Nets forward Nicolas Claxton (knee) has been ruled out for the season opener on Tuesday. The second-year forward will sit out versus the Golden State Warriors due to a nagging knee injury. He played in 15 games last season, so hopefully he can surpass that number this year. Sadly, Claxton won't have much fantasy […]

Dario Saric Up In The Air For Season Opener

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (quad) said that he's unsure if he'll be ready in time for the regular season opener on Wednesday. He missed all of the preseason due to a quad injury that makes it difficult for him to run. Although, it appears that Saric did look good during practice on Monday, according […]

Royals Showing Interest In Adam Wainwright

The Kansas City Royals have shown interest in free-agent starting pitcher Adam Wainwright, but they don't appear to be front-runners to sign him, according to sources. Wainwright played for Royals manager Mike Matheny in St. Louis from 2012-18. Kansas City has already signed Mike Minor, Carlos Santana, Greg Holland and Michael A. Taylor this offseason. […]

Experts Think Francisco Lindor Will Be Traded

All 20 MLB team executives that were polled for ESPN's annual Hot Stove survey predicted that Cleveland shortstop Francisco Lindor will be traded before Opening Day, with one calling a trade "just a matter of where and when." Lindor has been the most-discussed trade candidate this offseason and Cleveland is motivated to move Lindor's 2021 […]

Alex Smith Hasn't Been Ruled Out For Week 16

The Washington Football Team is hoping that quarterback Alex Smith (calf) can practice in some capacity this week. He's currently being considered day-to-day and hasn't been ruled out for Week 16 against the Panthers. Smith wasn't able to do much in practice last week, but the team prioritized rest of repetitions. This week might be […]

Tee Higgins Disappoints In Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Tee Higgins had a team-high six targets in Monday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers but ended up with just three catches for 31 yards. It was his worst output since Week 11. Higgins has a bright future once quarterback Joe Burrow is back under center next year, but he's a risky […]
