Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks scored 20 points on 8-for-20 shooting in Friday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. He was 4-for-6 from deep and also added three rebounds and three assists.

Nikola Jokic With Big Game In Win Over Memphis

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 28 points on 13-for-22 shooting in Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. In addition, he grabbed 15 rebounds and dished out seven assists.

Nick Ahmed May Not Return Until Next Week

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed (knee) may not be back in the Cactus League lineup until next week as he continues to work his way back from stiffness in his right knee. Ahmed was scratched from the lineup on Monday, and while the team doesn't believe the injury is serious, they also want to err […]

Estevan Florial Among Yankees First Spring Cuts

New York Yankees outfield prospect Estevan Florial was optioned to Triple-A Scranton//Wilkes-Barre among the team's first roster moves in camp on Friday. Right-hander Luis Gil was optioned to Double-A Somerset. Right-hander Luis Medina, infielder Oswald Peraza and right-hander Alexander Vizcaino were optioned to High-A Hudson Valley, while right-hander Yoendrys Gomez was sent to Low-A Tampa. […]

Jay Bruce Making A Case For Bench Spot

New York Yankees veteran first baseman/outfielder Jay Bruce said that he feels the healthiest he has in years while he competes with Mike Tauchman and others for a bench spot this spring as a non-roster invitee. Bruce was 1-for-2 with a walk in Grapefruit League action on Friday, and the three-time All-Star is hitting .400 […]

Jameson Taillon Looking Good This Spring

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jameson Taillon threw 2 2/3 scoreless innings in Grapefruit League action on Friday against the Tigers. His command wasn't excellent, though, as he threw 28 of his 51 pitches for strikes while walking three. However, he allowed only two hits, struck out four and was clocked as high as 95.1 […]

Michael Kopech Dealing With Tight Calf

Chicago White Sox right-handed pitcher Michael Kopech (calf) was originally scheduled to pitch in a Cactus League game on Friday against the Rangers, but he felt tightness in his calf and instead threw a bullpen session. Right-handed reliever Matt Foster also had a setback in spring training with what manager Tony La Russa described as […]

Yasmani Grandal To Play Saturday

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (knee) is scheduled to play in the Cactus League game on Saturday against the Angels. Grandal twisted his right knee during running drills on Feb. 24, but he got four at-bats in a B game against the Rangers on Friday. He finished 1-for-4 and will start as the designated […]

Brailyn Marquez Behind In Camp

Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Brailyn Marquez remains behind the rest of the team's arms in spring training after his delayed start to camp, but he has been working through a throwing program, according to manager David Ross. Marquez is ranked by MLB Pipeline as baseball's No. 63 prospect and as Chicago's top prospect. The 22-year-old […]

John Wall, Christian Wood Could Play Tuesday

Houston Rockets guard John Wall (knee) and center Christian Wood (ankle) could return for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The main factor to this losing streak is the fact that the Rockets cannot stay healthy. Kevin Porter Jr. will have plenty of streaming appeal for Friday's contest. He'll likely be worth adding in most […]

Craig Kimbrel Struggling Through Delivery Issues

Chicago Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel was charged with four runs in two-thirds of an inning in Friday's Cactus League game against the Brewers. The veteran right-hander has been sorting through delivery issues this spring and has allowed nine runs on seven hits with two walks and one strikeout in 2 2/3 innings. Although it's still […]

Davis Bertans Won't Return On Friday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (calf) will not return for the rest of Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The team is calling it calf tightness, so they will play it safe and let Bertans rest. He finished with three points, one rebound, and one turnover. Troy Brown and Deni Avdija should see more playing […]

Miguel Amaya Optioned Friday

Chicago Cubs catching prospect Miguel Amaya, ranked No. 89 by MLB Pipeline and the team's No. 3 overall prospect, was optioned to Double-A Tennessee on Friday. Catcher Taylor Gushue was also reassigned to minor league camp, leaving veteran Jose Lobaton and P.J. Higgins as the only catchers in major league camp behind Austin Romine, who […]

Anthony Rizzo Optimistic About Extension

Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo is optimistic about the chances that he'll reach a long-term contract extension with the team. Without a new deal, he will be eligible for free agency next offseason. Rizzo is now 31 years old and is entering his 11th season in the major leagues, but he'd like to chase […]

Mitch Haniger Scratched Due To Wet Field

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger was a late scratch from Friday's Cactus League matchup against the Cincinnati Reds. Haniger was set to lead off and play right field. Luis Liberato replaced Haniger in the lineup. This is reportedly a result of the wet field in Arizona, not an injury, as the Mariners are being cautious […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Joins The Starting Five

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. will jump into the starting five for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He is coming off an excellent performance and should see plenty of looks in this one. Eric Gordon (groin) is going to be sidelined for the foreseeable future, so Porter is worth adding in most formats. […]

Trey Lyles Will Start On Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Trey Lyles will move into the starting five for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. DeMar DeRozan (personal) is away from the team in order to attend his father's funeral. It's uncertain when he'll be back with the organization, so Lyles will benefit in the meantime. LaMarcus Aldridge won't be playing […]

Jarrett Culver Unlikely To Play Versus Blazers

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jarrett Culver (toe) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Wolves have no incentive to rush Culver back on the court, so expect him to miss multiple games. Jaylen Nowell is coming off a strong performance and is looking like a reliable short term fantasy option. […]

Jordan McLaughlin Ruled Out For Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jordan McLaughlin has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He is currently sidelined due to the NBA's health and safety protocols, so it's unclear if he'll be ready in time for Sunday's contest. In the meantime, Ricky Rubio will see all the minutes he can handle. He […]

Mikko Lehtonen Heads To Columbus In Trade

The Toronto Maple Leafs traded defenseman Mikko Lehtonen to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday in exchange for goaltender Veini Vehvilainen. The Leafs were looking for some goalie depth and happily gave up Lehtonen, who managed only nine outings for the team during his debut campaign in the NHL. Lehtonen, who posted three points for […]

Hamidou Diallo Traded To Detroit

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Hamidou Diallo has been traded to the Detroit Pistons for forward Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and a 2027 second-round pick. Diallo is just 22 years old and is averaging career-highs across the board, but his playing time has been a bit up and down. He could have a nice role on the Pistons […]

Tomas Hertl, Timo Meier Return To Sharks Lineup

San Jose Sharks forwards Tomas Hertl and Timo Meier (lower body) will rejoin the lineup for Friday's road game at Anaheim. Meier missed only a couple of games, while Hertl hasn't played since Feb. 22 while on the COVID-19 list, so he will make a long-awaited return. The two are set to skate on the […]

Devan Dubnyk Faces Ducks On Friday

San Jose Sharks goaltender Devan Dubnyk will start Friday's clash with the Ducks, looking to pick up a second consecutive win. The veteran netminder was sitting on just one win for the season, before finally having some joy again in Monday's 3-2 overtime victory against St. Louis. He now carries a 2-5-2 record with a […]

Jonathan Quick Placed On Injured Reserve

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick (upper body) has been placed on Injured Reserve retroactive to March 6. He is listed day-to-day so it seems like the veteran netminder isn't dealing with anything serious. The team has also announced that Cal Petersen has been removed from the COVID-19 list, so Troy Grosenick's return to the […]

Philipp Grubauer Starts Against L.A. On Friday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Philipp Grubauer will be the team's starter for Friday's meeting with the Kings. The German netminder has a 13-7-0 record for the season with a 2.05 goals-against average, a .917 save percentage, and three shutouts. He's been very good throughout the campaign, and the team has helped him a lot as well, […]

Kevin Love To Play, Darius Garland Ruled Out Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (calf) will be suiting up on Friday against the Pelicans. Guard Darius Garland (groin) has been ruled out. Love hasn't seen game action since December, making him a dicey DFS play given that a reduced workload is probably heading his way. Collin Sexton could see even more usage with Garland […]
