James Wiseman Could Return Friday

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (wrist) has a chance to suit up for Friday's contest. He has not been able to play since late January, but it appears Wiseman has been making progress. Head coach Steve Kerr mentioned that Wiseman will be re-evaluated on Thursday, so fantasy managers will get a better idea after […]

Artemi Panarin Expected To Play On Thursday

New York Rangers forward Artemi Panarin is expected to suit up as his team faces off against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday. Panarin, who leads the Rangers in scoring with 15 points (five goals, 10 assists) in 12 games, has missed his team's last two contests with a lower-body injury. A Hart Trophy candidate last […]

Daniel Theis Sidelined Versus Hawks

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (finger) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This is the second game in a row that Theis has missed due to a sprained right index finger. Tristan Thompson scored nine points with 12 rebounds in 28 minutes, while Robert Williams eight points with eight rebounds, […]

Jacob Trouba Out 4-6 Weeks With Injury

New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba (thumb) will be sidelined for the next four to six weeks with a broken thumb. The 26-year-old departed his team's 5-2 loss to the Devils and did not play in the third period on Tuesday night. Trouba has produced three assists, 14 penalty minutes, 27 shots and 48 hits […]

Kyle Lowry Could Sit Out On Thursday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He exited early twice during Tuesday's contest due to a sprained left ankle. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Raptors take the cautious approach and rest Lowry in this one. Fred Vanvleet would see his usage skyrocket […]

Kemba Walker Sitting Out On Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (rest) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so Walker will sit out for rest purposes. Fantasy managers should expect this to continue happening throughout the rest of the season. Payton Pritchard will get extended run and is […]

Rodney Hood Questionable For Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Rodney Hood (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He suffered a left foot sprain on Friday and hasn't played since then. Anfernee Simons has been on fire lately, so Hood could lose some playing time even if he does suit up. Honestly, Hood wasn't […]

Kyrie Irving Listed As Probable Against Lakers

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (back) is probable to play Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Irving missed the second night of a back-to-back on Monday, but appears on track to play Thursday after dealing with a sore back. Irving's return would push Tyler Johnson back to the bench and take some shot attempts […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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.

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. After securing a first-round knockout in his Contender Series showing, Hawes showed that power again while securing a first-round knockout in just 18 seconds in October of last year. DraftKings […]

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 […]
