Macy Chiasson Takes Care Of Business On Saturday

Bantamweight Macy Chiasson earned herself a win over No. 9 ranked opponent, Marion Reneau, during the UFC Fight Night Prelims. Chiasson had a considerable reach advantage and it showed, landing 92 of her 184 strike attempts. Reneau wasn't able to handle her opponent's proficiency in the vertical game, which ultimately led to the judges awarding […]

Grant Dawson Gets The Win At The Buzzer

Lightweight Grant Dawson defeated Leonardo Santos on Saturday during the prelims of UFC Fight Night. Both combatants landed nearly an equal amount of strikes, but Dawson had the edge in control time (8:18) and submission attempts, although he went just 1-for-13 in that area. Though it looked like this bout was going to go to […]

Roman Dolidze Suffers Questionable Loss

Middleweight Roman Dolidze suffered a questionable decision defeat to Trevin Giles during UFC Fight Night Prelims. Dolidze landed 75 of his 110 strike attempts, considerably more than his opponent, while also edging out Giles in submission attempts and control time. The 32-year-old was the favorite entering Saturday and the loss was the first of his […]

Jesse Strader Takes A Loss In UFC Debut

Bantamweight Jesse Strader suffered a quick loss during the UFC Fight Night Prelims. Strader, who was making his debut with the organization, earned a reputation for finishing his opponents. However, it was he who fell victim to the heavy hands of Montel Jackson, losing via KO/TKO early in the first round. With some more seasoning, […]

Michael King Hopes To Throw 100 Innings

New York Yankees starting pitcher Michael King hopes to throw 100 innings for the team in 2021, noting that the team may be cautious to overwork its starting pitchers after the shortened 2020 season. King isn't even a lock for an Opening Day roster spot and the team has a fairly deep pitching staff, so […]

Trevin Giles Picks Up The Win On Saturday

Middleweight Trevin Giles earned a unanimous decision win over Roman Dolidze on Saturday during the UFC Fight Night Prelims. Giles landed 43 of his 73 strike attempts while also finishing one takedown attempt. Although Dolidze had more strikes, submission attempts, and control time, the judges still opted to award Giles the win. The 28-year-old has […]

Montel Jackson Scores Quik Win

Bantamweight Montel Jackson got back on the winning path by dispatching the debuting Jesse Strader during the UFC Fight Night Prelims. Quik lived up to his nickname, knocking out his opponent in just under two minutes in the first round on Saturday. The 28-year-old was the heavy favorite entering this one, and an early finish […]

Serge Ibaka Won't Play Against Hornets On Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Serge Ibaka (back) won't play on Saturday against the Hornets as he continues to deal with back tightness. This will be Ibaka's third missed game, with center Ivica Zubac being the primary beneficiary of his absence. Zubac is a savvy DFS play, as he had a double-double in Ibaka's first absence, […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 3/21: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

  Last night was another wild one on the rift. Both LPL favorites went down in flames, and LCK was hardly any better. Gen G came out flat against KT after their big win over DWG, but they did manage to get the dub. That final spot in the LCK is still up for grabs.  […]

Bruno Silva Earns Win At Fight Night Prelims

Flyweight Bruno Silva picked up the win over JP Buys on Saturday during the UFC Fight Night Prelims. The Brazilian nearly doubled his opponent in strikes, connecting on 62 of his 89 attempts, while also landing a takedown to earn himself 3:51 of control time. Silva was the underdog coming into this one, so a […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Expected To Play Sunday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (personal) is expected to play on Sunday against the Trail Blazers. Finney-Smith missed the last two games so he could be there for the birth of his child. Finney-Smith's return could push Tim Hardaway Jr. back to the bench, though fantasy managers can keep rolling the latter out there, as […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Ruled Out Sunday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Rockets. It will be Gilgeous-Alexander's eighth missed game of the season as he continues to deal with a sore shoulder. In his absence, guard Theo Maledon should see added assist opportunities, with Kenrich Williams also likely factoring in. Williams […]

Lonzo Ball Questionable For Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets. Ball has a right hip flexor strain- though he was able to play 38 minutes and put up an effective line in his most recent game. He's probably on the right side of questionable, though if he's unable to suit […]

Jarred Kelenic Looks Dynamic Friday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic made his first start since returning from a Grade 2 adductor strain on Saturday against the White Sox, and looked no worse for wear. Playing in center field, Kelenic went 2-for-3 with a double while scoring one run and driving in another. He also showed off his arm in the […]

Tyrese Haliburton, Hassan Whiteside On Minutes Limit Again

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton and center Hassan Whiteside will remain on their minutes' restrictions on Saturday. Considering Haliburton played 32 minutes in his last game, the news may apply more to Whiteside. Haliburton's effectiveness was entirely another matter, as he scored just 4 points, though perhaps he can fare better against a banged-up 76ers […]

Logan Gilbert Will Not Appear In Any More Spring Games

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert won't make any more Cactus League appearances this year. The Mariners have decided to keep their young pitcher out of the action in an attempt to limit his workload. Gilbert will continue to throw bullpen sessions and, possibly, simulated games. This will allow the Mariners to allocate Gilbert's innings […]

Ben Simmons Out Saturday With Knee Soreness

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (knee) won't play Saturday against the Kings. It's surprising, given that Simmons was listed as probable. In his place, Shake Milton and Matisse Thybulle will enter the starting lineup and presumably get plenty of scoring opportunities with Joel Embiid also out. Milton is the more consistent option of the two. […]

Kyle Lewis Hits First Spring Homer

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis is heating up. The reigning American League Rookie of the Year followed up his two doubles on Thursday with two more extra base hits on Saturday against Lance Lynn and the White Sox, including his first home run of the year . He also walked once while scoring two runs […]

LeBron James Out Indefinitely With High-Ankle Sprain

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is out indefinitely with a high-ankle sprain. James injured his ankle during the Lakers' afternoon game against the Hawks and was unable to return. While his X-rays came back negative, Los Angeles will still be without their best player, in addition to Anthony Davis (calf), for at least […]

Richard Rodriguez Earns Loss Saturday Against Tigers

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Richard Rodriguez earned the loss on Saturday against the Tigers, allowing one run on two hits in one inning of work in a 3-1 defeat. Rodriguez looked sharp in his first three appearances of the spring, but his last two performances have not been as good, as he has allowed two […]

Alex DeBrincat Picks Up 16th Goal Of The Season

Chicago Blackhawks winger Alex DeBrincat scored the team's only goal in Saturday's 4-1 loss to Tampa. Dominik Kubalik and Philipp Kurashev provided the assists. DeBrincat leads the Blackhawks in goals with 16 and has 31 points in 28 outings so far with 88 shots and 31 hits. The 23-year-old is having a big bounce-back year, […]

Tyler Anderson Strikes Out Four On Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Tyler Anderson allowed one run on two hits while striking out four in five innings of work on Saturday against the Tigers. After a rough outing against the Yankees earlier this spring, Anderson has looked good in his last two starts, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out 11 […]

Jose Alvarado Collects Three Strikeouts Versus Blue Jays

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jose Alvarado struck out three of four batters he faced in a Grapefruit League game Saturday against Toronto. Alvarado allowed a ground-rule double to lead off the inning, but tightened up after that whiffing the next three Blue Jays. The left-hander is coming off a lost 2020 season where he pitched […]

Late-Round Fliers for RBI Production

RBI production is a valuable stat in all fantasy baseball formats, but it is not always an easy stat to predict. Locating solid RBI production late in drafts becomes even more difficult. Ideally, you want players who will hit in the middle of lineups, which are expected to score plenty of runs. Now, this may […]

Kevin Newman Has Perfect Day At Plate Saturday

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman went 2-for-2 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in a 3-1 loss to the Tigers on Saturday. It was Newman's fifth multi-hit performance of the spring, as he has reached base safely in seven straight games and is now slashing .688/.762/.813 with two doubles, five walks and […]

Victor Hedman Has Three Assists In Saturday's Win

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman provided three helpers in Saturday's 4-1 victory over Chicago. Steven Stamkos also registered a multi-point outing with a power-play goal and an assist. Hedman has been simply immense so far this month with 13 points in 11 games. He's notched 32 points during the whole campaign in 30 games […]

Using Data Analysis To Spot Strikeout Risers

The key to winning a fantasy league is to spot things that are to come before they happen. This is what we try to do here every day at RotoBaller. As the years have gone by, more data about the game has been made available to us, and we can use that data to make […]
