LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 2/7: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

BLG. That's it, that's the intro. Tough times out there when I can't even get a -600 favorite to pick up the win. I did get the two theoretically closer matches in the LPL correct, with JDG and FPX both winning. With other teams making significant upgrades, TES will have to adapt their engage and […]

Robert Thomas Scores First of Season, Leaves with Injury

St. Louis Blues forward Robert Thomas scored early in Saturday's loss to the Coyotes, notching his first goal of the season after being held scoreless for 11 games. Thomas made plenty of noise in his 3:01 minutes of ice time, logging three shots and the only goal the Blues would score in the contest before […]

Jeff Green To Start On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets forward Jeff Green will start on Saturday night against Philadelphia. With Kevin Durant (health and safety protocols) held out after reportedly coming in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19, the veteran will slide in at the four spot. Green is averaging 9.5 points and nearly five rebounds in 10 games as […]

Kevin Durant Out Against Philly

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (health and safety protocols) won't play on Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran was yanked early on Friday night against the Raptors after he reportedly was exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19. In his place, Jeff Green should get some extra run as a member of the […]

Lauri Markkanen Officially Out

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) won't play on Saturday night against Orlando. The 23-year-old exited prematurely after suffering the injury against the Magic in the first of a back-to-back series. In his place, Thaddeus Young, who had 15 points on Friday night, will slide in at the four spot. Fantasy managers should keep him […]

Naz Reid Probable On Saturday Evening

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (wrist) is expected to play on Saturday against OKC. The 21-year-old has been dealing with the ailment for quite some time but has played through it for the most part. With Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) still out after missing his previous 11 games due to COVID-19, Reid should continue to get […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Out Again

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) is out once again against the Thunder. Towns hasn't played since the middle of January, missing his previous 11 games due to COVID-19. In his place, Naz Reid (wrist), who had 17 points and nine rebounds against OKC on Friday night, should fill-in on Saturday.

P.J. Dozier Out Again

Denver Nuggets forward P.J. Dozier (hamstring) is out on Saturday against Sacramento. The 24-year-old has missed his previous four games, so his absence against the Kings isn't a surprise by any means. In his stead, Paul Millsap and Michael Porter Jr. should see expanded roles.

Jamal Murray Labeled A Game-Time Decision

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) is questionable heading into Saturday's matchup against Sacramento. Murray has been dealing with soreness since Thursday's loss to the Lakers and will potentially try things out before opening tip. If he doesn't play, Monte Morris will likely fill in, with the 25-year-old logging 16 points across 26 minutes off […]

Larry Nance Jr. Has A Chance To Play

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (wrist) has a chance to play on Saturday night against Milwaukee. The veteran has been dealing with a sprain as of late, forcing him to miss the team's previous three games.

Kevin Huerter Likely To Suit Up Against Toronto

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (ankle) is probable to suit up against the Raptors on Saturday. Huerter has been dealing with soreness but was still able to see the floor against the Utah Jazz on Thursday night, finishing with 16 points and three steals. He should be considered for all DFS lineups, primarily if Trae […]

Trae Young Questionable Against Visiting Raptors

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (calf) has been deemed questionable heading into Saturday's matchup against the Raptors. The third-year man out of Oklahoma wasn't in the lineup on Thursday night against the Jazz and may be forced to miss his second-straight while working his way back from the injury. If he is indeed absent against […]

Otto Porter Out Against Magic

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (back) won't play against the Magic on Saturday. The veteran has missed his previous two games due to spasms, and while he had a shot at playing against Orlando, he will sit out another one. In his place, look for Thaddeus Young and Denzel Valentine, who had 14 points and […]

Ville Husso Start Saturday For St. Louis

St. Louis Blues goaltender Ville Husso will be between the pipes for the fourth time this season in favor of Jordan Binnington. The Finnish rookie has a record of 2-1-1 with a goals-against-average of 4.40 and a save percentage of .865. He has allowed ten goals on 74 shots. Despite playing on a great team, […]

Lauri Markkanen Doubtful Against Orlando

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) is unlikely to play on Saturday against Orlando. The 23-year-old suffered the injury during the first meeting of the series against the Magic and was forced to exit prematurely as a result. If he is indeed confirmed out, look for Thaddeus Young (back), who had 15 points throughout 32 […]

Thaddeus Young Probable On Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Thaddeus Young (back) is probable to play during the team's second-straight meeting against the Magic. The veteran emerged from Friday's matchup against Orlando with back spasms but should be good to go on Saturday evening. With the Bulls down Otto Porter Jr. (back) and potentially Lauri Markkanen (shoulder), Young should be considered […]

Kuemper Minds The Crease Saturday

Arizona Coyotes netminder Darcy Kuemper gets the nod on Saturday against the St. Louis Blues. Kuemper lost his last decision versus St. Louis 4-3. He allowed four tallies on 29 shots. The former Minnesota Wild player has struggled this year but hasn't had a ton of offensive help when he has been between the pipes. […]

Zach Sanford Will Not Play Saturday

St. Louis Blues winger Zach Sanford will be out of the lineup Saturday against the Arizona Coyotes. Sanford missed practice on Friday and will be out of the lineup due to the flu and not COVID-19 related issues. The 26-year-old has one goal and one assist through 11 games. Sanford was playing on the Blues […]

Hoffman Moves Up To First Line

St. Louis Blues winger Mike Hoffman has played excellent of late and was promoted to the team's first line. The former Drummondville Voltigeurs junior player has three goals and two assists in his last four games. He will play along with Ryan O'Reilly and veteran David Perron. Hoffman and his teammates are facing off against […]

Daniel Theis Departs Early Friday Due To Knee Soreness

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (knee) was not able to return for the second half of Friday's game versus the Clippers due to a sore left knee. With Boston cramming games into a small window, it appears as if the organization was just playing it safe as it pertained to holding Theis out. Carsen Edwards […]

Goran Dragic Sprains Ankle Friday, Uncertain For Sunday

Miami Heat point guard Goran Dragic (ankle) went down with a sprained left ankle in the third quarter of Friday's win over Washington, an ailment that kept him from returning. Dragic had been dealing with a knee ailment, but felt well enough to play, and thereby was inserted into the starting five Friday. Now, his […]

Jake Allen Gets The Nod Against Ottawa

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jake Allen will start Saturday against the Ottawa Senators. Allen is a reliable backup with a record of  3-1-0 while allowing just eight goals on 114 shots. He has a goals-against-average of 2.02 and a .930 save percentage. The 30-year-olds last outing resulted in a 5-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on […]

De'Andre Hunter Ruled Out Saturday; Remains Without Timetable

Atlanta Hawks small/power forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has officially been ruled out for Saturday's contest versus Toronto as he works his way back from what the team has called "articular wear and tear" in his right knee. Hunter's absence doesn't appear to be ending anytime soon, with the team expected to re-evaluate his status by […]

Matthew Dellavedova Eyes Return To Action In 2021

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Matthew Dellavedova (concussion) recently made it clear that he's not retiring despite a recent concussion that has kept him in the league's protocol thus far in 2020-21. The Cavs are hopeful to get Dellavedova back this year as a reserve guard, and his placement on the Australian National Team for the […]

Brewers Looking At Shin-Soo Choo At First Base

Free-agent outfielder Shin-Soo Choo has been working out at first base with the goal of increasing his versatility, and the Milwaukee Brewers are among the teams interested in him at the position.

Nerlens Noel Will Miss Saturday’s Game

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Portland due to a knee ailment.

Aside from those fantasy […]
