LeBron James Goes Cold In Second Half Versus Pistons

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James started off a perfect 7-for-7 from the field against the Pistons on Thursday, and with Anthony Davis (quadriceps) out, he was set for a monster night, but he ended up getting only two points in the second half and had a disappointing 22-point performance. LeBron finished with 8-for-19 shooting […]

Mason Plumlee Extends Double-Double Streak

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee notched his third straight double-double in Thursday's win over the Lakers, collecting 17 points on a near-perfect 7-for-8 shooting while adding 10 rebounds.

The Chicago Cubs have reached an agreement with free-agent outfielder Joc Pederson. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic was the first to report the agreement between the lefty slugger and his new club.

DraftKings EuroLeague DFS Lineup Picks for 1/29/21 - Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The week of EuroLeague ends with a larger five-game slate. Yesterday, Khimki getting blown off the court hurt the bottom line. Today I'm more focused on finding the matchups that can produce a high scoring but close game at the same time. There isn't as much value on this slate, but we also don't have […]

Cardinals Bring Back Adam Wainwright

The St. Louis Cardinals are re-signing starting pitcher Adam Wainwright to a one-year deal on Thursday believed to be worth $8 million. The 39-year-old was the team's most reliable pitcher in the shortened 2020 season, throwing two shutouts and posting a 3.15 ERA in his 15th season with St. Louis. The three-time All-Star made his […]

Frederik Andersen Likely To Start Against Oilers

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen is set to make his seventh appearance of the season on Thursday against the Oilers. The 31-year-old Dane had a rocky start to the year by giving up nine goals in his first two starts, but he has coughed up only eight goals since then. Andersen is tied for […]

Alex Avila Agrees With Nationals

The Washington Nationals agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent catcher Alex Avila on Thursday. The left-handed hitter will serve as the backup in D.C. and pair with veteran Yan Gomes. Avila, who will turn 34 years old on Friday, is entering his 13th big-league season. He hit just .184 in 49 at-bats over […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 1/29: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

T1 going to T1, I guess. I went on record as 60/40 Gumayusi/Teddy and took the L. On the upside, I get to continue to use my Liquid Metal T1 meme, so that's nice. We will have to continue to watch T1 closely and tread lightly when they are in the late game. Their new […]

John Gibson Aims To Continue With Good Form On Thursday

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson will look to make it back-to-back wins against Arizona on Thursday. He produced his second shutout of the season against the Coyotes with 31 saves in Tuesday's 1-0 win. Gibson took a bad 5-2 loss in his first appearance of the season, but he has since then put together a […]

Kohl Stewart Signs With Cubs

The Chicago Cubs signed free-agent right-hander Kohl Stewart to a one-year, $700,000 deal on Thursday. Stewart will offer depth for Chicago's starting rotation but can also serve a multi-inning relief role if needed. He has pitched in parts of only two major league seasons and comes with five years of club control. The 26-year-old will […]

Slater Koekkoek Joins Lineup On Thursday

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Slater Koekkoek will be back in the lineup for Thursday's clash with the Maple Leafs. He played in the first seven games of the season, before being scratched for Tuesday's 6-4 loss to Winnipeg. Koekkoek will play on the third pairing with Tyson Barrie. A lot has been expected by the former […]

Derek Stepan Out Thursday With Undisclosed Injury

Ottawa Senators center Derek Stepan (undisclosed) won't feature Thursday night against the Canucks. Filip Chlapik will play in his place. Defenseman Christian Wolanin (lower body) is also ruled out and has been placed on the injured reserve. Stepan is rated day-to-day, so he likely won't be missing for long. He's desperately in need of a […]

Braden Holtby Returns To Vancouver's Crease

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Braden Holtby will be back between the pipes on Thursday against Ottawa after sitting out the last two games. Holtby watched Thatcher Demko beat the Senators in back-to-back games, and he can now take his own shot at them. He is carrying a 2-2-0 record for the season with a 3.70 goals-against […]

Derrick White Out Friday; May Return Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) has been ruled out Friday against the Denver Nuggets. However, White is expected to return Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies. White has been out almost a month with a fractured toe and was originally expected to miss at least four-to-six weeks. White has miraculously been cleared to play, […]

Darcy Kuemper Hoping For More Goal Support On Thursday

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Darcy Kuemper will make his seventh start of the season on Thursday when the team takes on Anaheim. He has already faced the Ducks once this week and the 30-year-old did a great job by saving 23 of 24 shots, but he ended up taking his second consecutive 1-0 loss. Kuemper has […]

Devan Dubnyk Takes On Colorado Thursday Night

San Jose Sharks goaltender Devan Dubnyk will get the nod for the third time this season on Thursday against the Colorado Avalanche. He is winless so far with a 0-2-0 record. Dubnyk has a 3.29 goals-against average and a .894 save percentage for the season. The veteran netminder is in a very tough spot to […]

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Philipp Grubauer gets a chance to continue his good start to the season against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday. The German is tied for the league-lead in goalie wins and carries a 4-2-0 record with a 2.17 goals-against average and a .919 save percentage. Grubauer has already beaten the Sharks once […]

Jamie Benn Placed On Injured Reserve

Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn (lower body) has been placed on the Injured Reserve, retroactive to Jan. 22, the team announced. The Stars captain hasn't played since getting injured in the team's season-opener last Friday. He was a game-time decision on Tuesday against the Red Wings, so it seems like whatever is bothering Benn isn't […]

Jake Oettinger Gets First Career Start

Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger will get his first career start on Thursday when the team will host Detroit. The 22-year-old had a couple of relief performances during last year's playoffs, saving all eight shots, so he has got some experience in the league, but it's very marginal. With that said, it's a good matchup […]

Jonathan Quick Looks To Extend Point Streak

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick will start on Thursday against the Minnesota Wild, looking to extend his point streak to five games. The veteran netminder is off to a 2-0-2 start to the season with a 3.15 goals-against average and a .898 save percentage. The Kings have provided him with some really good goal […]

Avery Bradley And Andre Iguodala Ruled Out Thursday

News keeps getting worse for the Miami Heat as guard Avery Bradley (knee) and forward Andre Iguodala (neck) were ruled out Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Heat are already without Jimmy Butler (health and safety protocols) and Goran Dragic (groin) so they will be heavily depleted on the wing. The good news is […]
