Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Magic. It marks George's second straight absence, as he also missed Monday's game against the Bucks due to a sore foot.

Blake Treinen A Reliable Relief Option In 2021

Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Blake Treinen will be a viable bullpen piece for fantasy managers again in 2021. Treinen recorded nine holds, a save, and a 22/8 K/BB rate in 2020. The 32-year-old will serve as the primary set-up man for Kenley Jansen, and would see a massive increase in value if he ever took […]

AJ Pollock Struggling In Spring

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock has struggled to find consistency throughout Spring Training. The 33-year-old owns a dismal .146/.260/.244 slash line through 41 at-bats. Thankfully, there is a clear path to playing time for Pollock in 2021 now that Joc Pederson is a member of the Chicago Cubs. Nevertheless, the veteran slugger will have […]

Coby White Sit Out During Tuesday's Practice

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (neck) was unable to participate during Tuesday's practice. He missed the first game of his career on Monday due to neck spasms. It certainly sounds like White is headed towards another absence on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should get more information closer to game time. Tomas Satoransky would see all the […]

Justise Winslow Ruled Out Against Jazz

Memphis Grizzlies forward Justise Winslow (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. This will mark the second straight game that Winslow has missed due to a thigh issue. The potential is clearly there, but Winslow cannot seem to stay on the court. His absence will mean more minutes for Brandon […]

Cristian Pache Expected To Start Season In Center Field

Atlanta Braves outfielder Cristian Pache is expected to begin the 2021 season as the team's starting center fielder, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Ender Inciarte will serve as the backup. Pache has not inspired many fantasy managers during Spring Training, as he has posted an unsightly .162/.238/.243 slash line. The 22-year-old is an elite […]

John Wall Might Sit Out On Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard John Wall (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He is dealing with a swollen knee, so it might depend on how Wall is feeling closer to game time. The Rockets aren't exactly playing for much right now, so they have little incentive to push Wall out […]

D'Angelo Russell Remains Out Versus Knicks

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. He was able to get in some 5-on-5 work during Tuesday's practice. It sounds like he's making solid progress from his knee surgery, but still isn't able to suit up yet. Ricky Rubio will remain the starting […]

Christian Wood Listed As Probable For Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed each of the last two games due to a non-COVID related illness. The organization is hopeful that he'll be able to suit up for this game, but fantasy managers will need to check back closer […]

Garrett Temple Misses Tuesday's Practice

Chicago Bulls guard Garrett Temple (hamstring) was unable to suit up for Tuesday's practice. He only played two minutes on Monday before coming out of the game due to hamstring tightness. The fact he didn't suit up for practice means he'll probably miss a game or two. His absence will give a slight boost to […]

Danuel House Should Play Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (back) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He returned from a two-game absence on Monday, so he should be fine for this game. Fantasy managers should check back closer to game time in case he suffers a setback. Players like Ben McLemore and Jae'sean Tate […]

Kevin Lankinen Tries To Slow Down Carolina

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Kevin Lankinen will take on a hot Carolina team on Tuesday. The Hurricanes head into the encounter on a three-game winning streak and they have produced an 11-1-2 record in their past 14 games. Lankinen beat Florida twice last week, but he has only three wins for the month in nine outings, […]

Vincent Trocheck Game-Time Decision For Tuesday's Action

Carolina Hurricanes center Vincent Trocheck, who hasn't played since Mar. 9, could return to action on Tuesday against Chicago. He is officially a game-time decision but skated with the team as the second-line center at Monday's practice. The 27-year-old was on a six-game point streak before getting hurt, and he's been hot throughout the campaign […]

Brandon Crawford To Make 10th Consecutive Opening Day Start

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford will make his 10th consecutive opening day start on Thursday; he will become just the fourth Giants player to achieve that in the team's history. The 34-year-old had a decent 2020 season, slashing .256/.326/.465 with eight home runs and 28 RBI. He also had a strong spring, slashing .306/.395/.556 […]

Curtis McElhinney Makes Eighth Start Of The Season

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Curtis McElhinney will record his eighth start of the season in Tuesday's meeting with Columbus. The team has dropped a pair of games with Andrei Vasilevskiy between the pipes and they will try something different here. McElhinney has a poor 3.16 goals-against average and a .880 save percentage, but he has […]

Tucupita Marcano Beats Out Brian O'Grady In Roster Battle

The San Diego Padres announced infield prospect Tucupita Marcano made the Opening Day roster over outfielder Brian O'Grady. Marcano, the team's No. 6 prospect, was a long shot entering spring training but lit the Cactus League aflame, going 17-for-42 with six extra-base hits and a 1.098 OPS. The 21-year-old's reps in the outfield were apparently […]

Lars Eller Returns On Tuesday

Washington Capitals center Lars Eller (lower body) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Rangers. The veteran forward, who hasn't played since Mar. 13, will replace Richard Panik on the third line. He has five goals and 12 points for the season in 22 games with 33 shots and a minus-two rating. […]

Calvin Pickard Earns Third Consecutive Start

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Calvin Pickard makes a third consecutive start on Tuesday against Florida. The 28-year-old has earned Jeff Blashill's trust after carrying the team to back-to-back wins over Columbus last weekend, allowing just one goal in both outings. These were Pickard's first starts of the season. He's had four appearances overall, producing a […]

Aaron Ekblad Out For Season After Surgery

Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad will miss his first game of the season on Tuesday against Detroit, and he won't feature again during the regular season after undergoing surgery for a fractured left leg. The 24-year-old blueliner left Sunday's 4-1 win over Dallas on a stretcher and went under the knife on Monday. Ekblad finishes […]

Sergei Bobrovsky Takes On Red Wings Tuesday Night

Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will start Tuesday's home game against the Detroit Red Wings. It's going to be his fourth meeting with Detroit this season and the Russian netminder is looking for a third win in the matchup. The Red Wings have managed to score just 1.66 goals against Bobrovsky so far. The 32-year-old […]

Michel Baez Undergoing Tommy John Surgery

San Diego Padres reliever Michel Baez (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery and miss the 2021 season. The surprise announcement came as the Friars revealed relievers Ryan Weathers and Nabil Crismatt will crack the Opening Day roster. A former prospect, Baez made a strong debut in 2019 with a 3.03 ERA over 24 appearances, but […]

Jaroslav Halak Looks For Revenge Against New Jersey

Boston Bruins goaltender Jaroslav Halak will be the team's starter for Tuesday's rematch with New Jersey. Halak and the B's got beaten by the Devils 1-0 on Sunday, and he is completely winless in three outings in the matchup this season, going 0-2-1. The veteran netminder has produced solid numbers this month with a 1.94 […]

Malik Monk Downgraded To Out

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk (foot) is now out against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday. Monk was expected to return after getting the probable tag, but will now miss his second straight game with foot soreness. Monk's absences have led to extra minutes for Cody Martin and Caleb Martin, but the big winner is Devonte' […]

Mikko Koskinen In Oilers Crease Versus Montreal

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mikko Koskinen will make his 19th start of the season in Tuesday's matchup against Montreal. The Finnish netminder got a lot of burn at the start of the season, but Mike Smith has now run away with the No. 1 spot, which means that this will be only the fifth start of […]

Carey Price Starts For Canadiens On Tuesday

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will guard the crease as the team makes its return from a COVID-19 break on Monday versus Edmonton. It's going to be Price's second appearance of the season against Connor McDavid's squad after he posted a nice 34-save performance in a 5-1 win on Jan. 16. Price has been solid […]

Bradley Beal And Raul Neto Out Tuesday

Washington Wizards guards Bradley Beal (hip) and Raul Neto (rib) are both out Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets. Beal left Saturday's game after a hard fall and will now miss his second straight game with the injury while Neto picked up the rib injury in Monday's win. Russell Westbrook put up a monster performance and […]

Curt Casali To Serve As Giants Backup Catcher

San Francisco Giants catcher Curt Casali will start the season as the second catcher on the roster, per NBC Sports' Alex Pavlovic. The veteran had a lackluster 2020 season with the Reds, slashing .224/.366/.500 with six home runs, eight RBI, and two stolen bases. The Giants seem to have their catchers of the future in […]

Alexander Radulov Out Again For Stars On Tuesday

Dallas Stars forward Alexander Radulov will miss his seventh consecutive game as his team battles the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night. The 34-year-old has been sidelined since March 20th after re-aggravating an injury that has limited him to just 11 games on the campaign. Labeled as a perpetual game-time decision for the remainder of the […]
