Jack Flaherty's 2020 Struggles Not Entirely His Fault

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty, who won his salary arbitration case last week against the team, was the unfortunate victim of bad timing in 2020.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge said he plans to play smarter in 2021 in order to stay on the field. The right-handed slugger hit nine home runs in 16 games to start last season, but he only played in 28 total games due to a right calf strain, and he's played in 242 of […]

Monte Morris Enters Starting Five Tuesday

Denver Nuggets point/shooting guard Monte Morris has been bumped into the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against Portland.

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman (hip), who was limited to just 37 games last year due to a right hip issue that required surgery, slimmed down in the offseason after rehabbing and said that he has "no restrictions coming into spring training."

Abdel Nader Picks Up Questionable Tag For Wednesday

Phoenix Suns small/power forward Abdel Nader (thumb) has been listed as questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Hornets as he battles a sprained left thumb.

Center Damian Jones was waived by the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday after appearing in 14 games as a reserve this season.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Raptors. The 21-year-old sat out of Monday's meeting against the Thunder after sustaining a contusion to his right hip.

Gordon Hayward Earns Questionable Tag For Wednesday’s Game

Charlotte Hornets small/power forward Gordon Hayward (hand) has been listed as questionable to play in Wednesday's contest against Phoenix due to a right hand contusion. The ailment knocked Hayward from Monday's game, from which he did not return. Should Hayward be held out, Miles Bridges and Malik Monk would stand to see increased roles. Through […]

Goran Dragic Questionable Against Toronto

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (ankle) has been deemed questionable for Wednesday's outing against Toronto. The veteran has been dealing with a sprain in his left ankle, an injury that has caused him to miss his previous nine contests.

San Antonio Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) is listed as questionable against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

DeAndre Jordan Rejoins Starting Five Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan has been tabbed to start Tuesday's game against Sacramento in place of Jeff Green (shoulder). Jordan logged his third double-double of the year in his last outing, with the Kings' struggles at containing the opponents' center only enhanced by his recent success. DFS managers shouldn't expect a massive minutes jump […]

Steven Adams Upgraded To Probable

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (ankle) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Detroit. The veteran returned to practice on Tuesday after missing his previous two games. If Adams is cleared during pre-game warmups against the Pistons, expect Willy Hernangomez to see a decrease in fantasy value.
