Derrick Jones Jr. Ruled Out Versus Wizards

Portland Trail Blazers forward Derrick Jones Jr. (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards.

He's coming off a 30-point outing […]

Nassir Little Questionable For Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Nassir Little (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards.

As already mentioned, Jones is out, […]

Terry Rozier Could Miss Wednesday's Game

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Ball has been playing […]

Draymond Green, Eric Paschall Probable For Tuesday

Golden State Warriors forwards Draymond Green (groin) and Eric Paschall (back) are listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics.

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 2/3: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Well, I think I joked yesterday in this space both about my Fanduel results (no win) and WE trying to spice up the two-game slate (no win). Maybe I'll lay off with my natural witticisms today just a bit to avoid dropping another hex on this nice little four-game slate. Even the EDG win in […]

Marcus Semien to the Blue Jays - Fantasy Impact

Toronto may have come up short in the Francisco Lindor sweepstakes earlier this offseason, but they got a new middle infielder last week with the signing of Marcus Semien to a one-year deal.

Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers - Week 7

Week 6 only had the two Memphis games postponed due to health and safety protocols which has been on the lower side lately.
