Mets Remain In On Jeremy Jeffress

In addition to free-agent relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal, the New York Mets remain interested in 33-year-old free-agent reliever Jeremy Jeffress. Following a subpar 2019 season, the right-hander posted a 1.54 ERA, a 0.94 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB in 23 1/3 innings pitched for the Cubs in 2020. While Jeffress doesn't have the upside of Rosenthal, […]

Harry Giles III Ruled Out Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Harry Giles III (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He missed Tuesday's contest as well due to a left calf strain. Nassir Little and Enes Kanter will benefit the most from the loss of Giles. Little scored 13 points, while Kanter finished with a […]

Ish Smith Out 6-8 Weeks

Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith (quadriceps) will be out for the next six to eight weeks with a quadriceps injury. The injury firmly cements Raul Neto in the backup point-guard role, and the Wizards will likely also use Bradley Beal as the primary ball-handler more often. Neto would be a great streamer whenever Russell Westbrook sits, […]

Kevin Durant Out Again Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) will miss his third straight game Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Durant is dealing with a mild hamstring strain and the team will likely take a very conservative approach with their star's recovery. Durant was already slated to miss two games and being ruled out over a day […]

De'Andre Hunter Making Progress

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has progressed to weight-bearing, lower-limb strength activities. He is still recovering from a significant knee injury but will be re-evaluated in two weeks. However, the Hawks don't have a timetable for Hunter's return at the moment. Cam Reddish, Danilo Gallinari and Kevin Huerter will be asked to pick up […]

Victor Oladipo And P.J. Tucker Will Not Play Against Sixers

Houston Rockets guard Victor Oladipo (foot) and forward/center P.J. Tucker (quad) will not play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. Oladipo was doubtful coming into the night and was not expected to play while Tucker did have some promise with the questionable tag and is likely closer to returning. Jae'sean Tate and David Nwaba have […]

Ben Simmons Officially Ruled Out With Flu

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (illness) will sit Wednesday night against the Houston Rockets after being questionable to play. Simmons recently came down with the flu, and the team will exercise caution with their star guard. Tyrese Maxey is the next man up here and could be worth streaming in season-long […]

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Lineup Picks for 2/18/21 - Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The EuroLeague season reconvenes after a week off. We begin Round 25 with a four-game slate. Most of the high-profile injuries are cleared up. Devin Booker traveled to the U.S. for family reasons and hasn't cleared COVID protocols yet. It seems likely that he won't play today. Zach Leday is still out as well, but […]

David Peterson Could Be Subject To Innings Limit In 2021

New York Mets manager Luis Rojas says the team has not committed to a "hard" innings limit for any of their starting pitchers coming off of the short 2020 season, but they will pay close attention. One such starting pitcher that could be subject to an innings limit, should the Mets go that route, is […]

Ben Simmons Now Questionable Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Ben Simmons (illness) popped up on the injury report and is now questionable to play Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. Simmons is dealing with a non-COVID illness, but that is all we know right now. If Simmons is unable to go, Tyrese Maxey should see a ton of minutes with Shake Milton […]

Al Horford Resting Wednesday Against Grizzlies

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Al Horford (rest) will sit Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Thunder are on the second half of a back-to-back set and Horford played the first half so this is to be expected. Isaiah Roby should be in line for a bigger role and is coming off an 11-point, 10-rebound performance […]

James Ennis Ruled Out Against Knicks

Orlando Magic guard/forward James Ennis (groin) will not play Wednesday against the New York Knicks. Ennis was finally hitting his groove before injuring his groin and will be sidelined for the second straight game. The good news for Orlando is Evan Fournier (back) is slated to return to the lineup on Wednesday. Ennis was a […]

Evan Fournier And Al-Farouq Aminu Available Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier (back) and forward Al-Farouq Aminu (knee) are both available to play Wednesday against the New York Knicks. Fournier has been dealing with back issues for almost the entirety of this season, but was making strides in practice ahead of Wednesday. Aminu has been plagued by knee injuries for over a […]

Noah Syndergaard On Schedule To Return In June

New York Mets starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard (elbow) threw a side session at spring camp on Wednesday. According to manager Luis Rojas, Syndergaard looked "really good" and is on schedule to return sometime in June. Syndergaard missed the entire 2020 season due to Tommy John surgery, following a poor 2019 campaign in which he led […]

Fan favorite Derrick Lewis (24-7) has won three fights in a row after dropping two bouts in a row at the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019.

Yana Kunitskaya Hoping To Prevail Over Ketlen Vieira

Will the third time be the charm for Yana Kunitskaya (13-5) on Saturday night? This will be the third scheduled meeting against Ketlen Vieira. Kunitskaya was thrusted into the main-event role in her debut back in March of 2018. She faced then-champion Cris Cyborg, but was unable to capture the championship. Since then, Kunitskaya has […]

Charles Rosa Can Break .500 With A Win Saturday

Charles Rosa (13-4) has flip-flopped wins and losses since joining the UFC in 2014. A win on Saturday night would give him his first winning streak inside the Octagon. He has 13 wins in his career -- 11 of those coming by finish and eight of them coming by submission. Facing off against another fighter […]

Chris Daukaus Looking For Third Straight Victory In UFC

Chris Daukaus (10-3) is looking to go 3-for-3 in the UFC when he battles UFC veteran Aleksei Oleinik on Saturday's main card. Daukaus has not only won his first two bouts in the UFC, but he has won both of them by first-round knockout. His last knockout came against the undefeated Rodrigo Nascimento in October […]

Phil Hawes Looking To Continue Knockout Streak

Phil Hawes (9-2) will finally get to step into the Octagon on Saturday after his bout on Jan. 16 was canceled due to an injury.

LCK DFS Picks for 2/18: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

I said yesterday that KT had been my kryptonite this spit, and even though we saw Damwon pull out that win, I think that moniker still holds as the rollercoaster continued with a slate breaking performance. Brion came through for me in the second set fighting their way clear of an SBG team that looked […]

Anthony Bass The Early Front-Runner For Saves

Miami Marlins manager Don Mattingly went to relief pitcher Anthony Bass often when discussing the team's closer role on Wednesday, according to Craig Mish of the Miami Herald. The ninth inning would seem to be an open competition after Brandon Kintzler did not re-sign with the Marlins, but Mattingly is already favoring Bass before even seeing […]

Kyle Higashioka Won’t Be Gerrit Cole’s Personal Catcher In 2021

New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka won't start the season as starting pitcher Gerrit Cole's personal catcher in 2021, according to manager Aaron Boone. Catcher Gary Sanchez's all-around struggles last season, combined with Cole's improved performance with Higashioka behind the plate (1.00 ERA with Higashioka, 3.91 ERA with Sanchez), has fueled speculation that Higashioka would primarily […]

P.J. Tucker Ruled Out Versus Sixers

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker (thigh) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was listed as questionable, but the Rockets are going to play it safe here. Tucker has been brought up in recent trade rumors, so it's not surprising to see Houston taking the safe approach here. Danuel House […]

Eric Gordon Uncertain For Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward Eric Gordon (groin) is expected to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He has missed each of the last two games due to a groin issue. The Rockets could desperately use Gordon on the court with multiple players already sidelined. Jae'sean Tate and David Nwaba would see […]

Monte Morris, Gary Harris Questionable Versus Wizards

Denver Nuggets guards Monte Morris (shoulder) and Gary Harris (groin) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Morris sat out of Tuesday's game, which resulted in Facundo Campazzo getting the start. Harris would be a much better fantasy option, assuming Morris is out and Harris is cleared to play. Otherwise, Jamal […]

Ian Anderson Potential Rookie Of The Year Candidate In 2021

Atlanta Braves starter Ian Anderson did not see a ton of action in 2020, but when he was on the mound, he was dominant. The 22-year-old proved he was one of the best pitching prospects in baseball, compiling a 1.95 ERA and 11.4 K/9 across 32 1/3 innings in 2020. He ramped up his performance […]

Will Barton, Paul Millsap Ruled Out For Wednesday

Denver Nuggets forwards Will Barton (personal) and Paul Millsap (knee) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. Barton has missed each of the last two games due to personal reasons, so it's unclear when he'll get back on the court. Michael Porter Jr. has been the biggest winner here in terms […]

Sekou Doumbouya Remains Out Versus Bulls

Detroit Pistons forward Sekou Doumbouya (head) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. This will be his third game in a row sidelined due to a concussion.
