Martin Jones In Sharks Net On Friday

San Jose Sharks goaltender Martin Jones will make his 17th start of the season on Friday against St. Louis, looking to improve an 8-6-1 record. It's been an up-and-down season for the 31-year-old, who carries a 3.64 goals-against average and a .884 save percentage. It looks like a good matchup for him, as he's done […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Starting Against Memphis

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (foot) is starting Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies after being listed as questionable. Oubre was actually doubtful to play at one point, but is now miraculously playing through a right foot sprain on Friday.

Jacob Markstrom Continues To Start For Flames

Calgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom will make a seventh consecutive start in Friday's road game at Toronto. He's looking to bounce back after seeing seven pucks fly past him in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to Edmonton. Markstrom was on a three-game winning streak before suffering the big defeat, so he's actually demonstrated some good form lately. […]

Stephen Curry Out Friday And Doubtful Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (tailbone) has been ruled out Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies and is in danger of missing Saturday's game as well. Curry is "still very sore" according to head coach Steve Kerr after taking a hard fall in Wednesday's game. Tailbone injuries typically last 1-3 games given the pain tolerance […]

Alex Galchenyuk Set For Leafs Debut On Friday

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Alex Galchenyuk is set to make his team debut in Friday's meeting with Calgary. The 27-year-old journeyman is penciled in to skate with John Tavares and William Nylander on the second line. Galchenyuk had one point -- a goal -- in eight games and a minus-six rating playing for Ottawa at […]

Yankees Option Mike Ford

New York Yankees first baseman Mike Ford was optioned to the minor leagues by the team on Friday. Ford's demotion comes as no surprise as the Yankees have a crowded competition to fill out the remaining spots on their bench, but it's disappointing to see Ford lose his MLB playing time after posting a .909 […]

Andre Iguodala Has Been Ruled Out Friday

Miami Heat forward Andre Iguodala (hip) will sit out Friday against the Indiana Pacers. Iguodala will miss his second straight game after leaving Tuesday with a hip injury. Iguodala's absence could open the door for newly acquired Trevor Ariza to step in and earn meaningful minutes right away. Ariza's conditioning is always a factor as […]

Frederik Andersen Looks For Form Versus Flames

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen will be between the pipes in Friday's home outing against Calgary.

OG Anunoby Officially Back Against Jazz

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby will start Friday against the Utah Jazz after being removed from the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

John Wall Will Start Friday

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) will start Friday against the Detroit Pistons. Wall will be returning from a five-game absence and is likely to resume his regular role, but may see a dip in minutes given his injury history. Wall's return will push the red-hot Kevin Porter Jr. to the bench, decreasing his […]

Thatcher Demko Tries To Stay Hot Versus Montreal

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko will look to maintain his hot form in Friday's meeting with the Canadiens. The 25-year-old has been spectacular this month with a 7-1-0 record, a 1.71 goals-against average and a .951 save percentage. However, his only loss came against the Habs and it was an ugly one with a 5-1 […]

Washington Wizards forward/center Davis Bertans (calf) will be sidelined for the next two weeks after an MRI revealed a calf strain in his right leg.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Friday (3/19/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

Friday's 10-game slate is projected to offer plenty of variance with out-of-conference teams competing and a few teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. Damian Lillard went off for 26 points in the first half against the Pelicans, but finished with 36 on the night. It's clear the return of C.J. McCollum has, […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Upgraded To Questionable Friday

Golden State Warriors forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (foot) is now questionable to play Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Oubre was doubtful coming into today, but has now been upgraded to questionable as he works through a right foot sprain. With Stephen Curry (tailbone) doubtful, the Warriors will need to heavily lean on Draymond Green and […]

Cody Zeller Ruled Out Ahead Of Saturday

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (shoulder) will not play Saturday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Zeller was pulled from Wednesday's game after dealing with shoulder soreness and is now being ruled out over a day in advance. This does not bode well for Zeller's availability moving forward, but it does bode well for P.J. Washington. […]

Trevor Ariza Available To Play Friday

Newly acquired Miami Heat forward Trevor Ariza will be available to play Friday night against the Indiana Pacers. Ariza has not played at all this season because of the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols and was taking up a roster spot on the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he could be in line for some valuable […]

David Mayo Departs For Washington

The Washington Football Team signed former Carolina Panthers and New York Giants linebacker David Mayo to an undisclosed deal on Thursday. Washington also added center Tyler Larsen. The 27-year-old was a fifth-round pick of the Panthers back in 2015. Mayo did very little in his four seasons with the Panthers. He had a solid debut […]
