Bam Adebayo With Triple-Double Against Kings

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo scored 16 points on 6-for-12 shooting in Thursday's win over the Sacramento Kings. Adebayo also added 12 rebounds and 10 assists to wind up with one of two triple-doubles on the Heat team, as Jimmy Butler also posted 13/10/13.

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Lineup Picks for 2/19/21 - Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Round 25 finishes off with four more games. We saw Shane Larkin and Alexey Shved put up big numbers, but it was Youssoupha Fall that broke the slate as a value pick. I ended up with a Baskonia stack and still didn't land on Fall. So it goes. Minimum cash still gets me the buy-in […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Friday (2/19/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

It's been a great few days of basketball and Friday starts off the weekend with a nine game slate. The Bucks and Thunder have the highest point total heading into today, and with Milwaukee playing terribly lately, the return of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander could not have come at a better time. Giannis Antetokounmpo and company are […]

Tristan Jarry Impresses Once More

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry was very close to his first shutout of the season on Thursday, allowing only a late power-play goal in a 4-1 win over the Islanders.

MLB Spring Training Notebook - February 19th

Welcome to the 2021 edition of RotoBaller's Spring Training Notebook. I began this column a year ago, and made it about four or five articles in when Major League Baseball decided to shut things down, just like everything else around the globe, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Well, things are at least a little more […]

Brock Nelson Scores On Power Play

New York Islanders center Brock Nelson produced a power-play goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Pittsburgh. Tristan Jarry blanked the Isles for most of the game, but Josh Bailey and Nick Leddy combined to set up Nelson inside the final five minutes. Overall, it was a pretty miserable outing by Nelson, who finished with a […]

Sidney Crosby Continues Success Over Islanders

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby opened the scoring in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Islanders, making it six goals and 13 points for himself this season. In the process, the Penguins captain boosted his career numbers in the matchup to 37 goals and 116 points. Crosby is the only active player to notch 100-plus points […]

Joel Farabee Scores Seventh Goal Of The Year

Philadelphia Flyers winger Joel Farabee notched a late game-tying goal in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Rangers, bagging his seventh marker of the season with 1:14 left in regulation.

Colin Blackwell Produces Another Goal

New York Rangers winger Colin Blackwell made it goals in back-to-back games on Thursday, netting a power-play marker in a 3-2 shootout win over the Flyers. Brendan Smith also scored for the Rangers, who stopped a four-game skid. Blackwell is a former seventh-round pick who at 27 seems finally ready to contribute regularly in the […]

The New York Mets have signed right-handed starting pitcher Taijuan Walker to a deal. The terms of the contract have not yet been disclosed. In 2020, over 11 starts and 53 1/3 innings pitched between the Mariners and Blue Jays, Walker posted a 2.70 ERA, a 1.16 WHIP, and a 50:19 K:BB. For his career, […]

Matt Harvey May Not Start For Orioles

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Thursday that he will keep his options open with newly signed pitcher Matt Harvey.

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for BrakeBest Brake Pads 159 At Daytona (2/19/21)

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will make its second-ever appearance at the Daytona road course on Friday. Last year, Sheldon Creed led 19 laps on his way to a victory in the inaugural event, while we saw drivers like Scott Lagassee Jr. finish ninth and Austin Wayne Self 11th. Unlike the Xfinity race that […]

Trey Mancini Reports Early To Camp Thursday

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini "looked really good" during Thursday's training sessions, per manager Brandon Hyde. Mancini fielded ground balls and hit as well. The 28-year-old missed the entirety of the 2020 season receiving treatment for colon cancer, so it is great news to see him back on the field. Mancini posted career numbers […]

LCK DFS Picks for 2/20: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Ugly, ugly league of legends was played last night in the LCK. T1 ran the same trashy draft back into DRX three times, and it didn't work out. I wouldn't be surprised to see the third jungler Oner make his debut next time out as the gap was punished by Pyosik quite hard. KT did […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Super Start Batteries 188 At Daytona (2/20/21)

On Saturday, the Xfinity Series makes its second trip to the Daytona road course. Last year, Austin Cindric led 21 laps on his way to a win. His biggest competition, Chase Briscoe, crashed after 46 laps, but Briscoe did lead 26 laps. The race saw some strong showings from unexpected places, including a top-five finish […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Flirts With Triple-Double In Loss

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 23 points with 12 rebounds, eight assists, and two steals in Thursday's loss to the Raptors. Antetokounmpo had a good game, though it seemed a bit empty compared to his last few efforts, which saw him compile strong numbers in the point, rebound, and assist categories while also registering […]

Pascal Siakam Drops 27 Points With Full Line

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam bounced back after a couple of rough shooting performances in his last two games. Siakam dropped 27 points on 9 of 18 shooting from the field, adding six rebounds, five assists, two triples, two blocks, and a steal in a 110-96 win over the Bucks. The 26-year-old got off to […]

Norman Powell Matches Season-High In Points With 29

Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell was on fire in Thursday night's win over the Bucks. Powell scored 29 points, matching his season-high, along with four rebounds, four triples, three assists, and two steals in 31 minutes. The 27-year-old stepped up with Kyle Lowry (thumb) out of the lineup, scoring 17 of his 29 in the […]

Taurean Prince To Miss Another Game On Friday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Taurean Prince (ankle) won't play on Friday night against the Nuggets. This will mark the veteran's second-straight absence as he continues to deal with left ankle soreness. In his stead, Jarrett Allen and Cedi Osman should continue to see a hefty increase in fantasy value, so managers in all formats will want […]

James Wiseman Remains Out On Friday Evening

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (wrist) will be out again on Friday against Orlando. The rookie continues to deal with residual pain associated with his sprained wrist, which is unwelcome news as the team will also be without Kevon Looney (ankle) and possibly Draymond Green (ankle). If Green plays, he will likely slide in […]

Scott Oberg On Track To Return In 2021

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Scott Oberg (shoulder) is on track to return to the bullpen this year, according to Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post. The 30-year-old right-hander missed the entire 2020 season due to blood-clotting issues in his throwing arm, which eventually required thoracic outlet surgery on his right shoulder in September. Oberg told reporters […]
