Joel Embiid Might Sit Out Versus Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It's a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Embiid sit out here. On Friday, Embiid played 30 minutes and put up monster numbers against the Boston Celtics. The team is likely going to wait until […]

Kings Looking To Trade Nemanja Bjelica

Sacramento Kings forward Nemanja Bjelica looks to have fallen out of the rotation, but the team reportedly says he is missing time due to personal reasons. Head coach Luke Walton said Bjelica would return to the rotation at some point, but who knows when that will be. He has not play well this season and […]

Devin Booker Ruled Out Versus Nuggets

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He exited late during Friday's overtime contest due to a left hamstring strain.

The Boston Red Sox have added right-handed starting pitcher Garrett Richards to a one-year, $10 million deal on Saturday.

Kendrick Nunn Scores Team-High 22 Points In Loss

Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn finished with a team-high 22 points in Friday's 101-81 loss against the Raptors. The 25-year-old was the only player able to get it going in the defeat, while scoring 20-plus points in consecutive games for the first time this season. Nunn has received consistent minutes in the thirties as of […]

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton finished with 25 points, nine assists, two rebounds and one made three-pointer on eight of 19 shooting from the field in Friday's 125-113 victory against the Nets.

Kevin Durant was sidelined for this contest, so Irving took […]

Indiana Pacers forward/guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) scored a season-best 22 points in Friday's 120-118 victory against the Magic.

Anton Khudobin Posts Shutout In Season Opener

Dallas Stars goaltender Anton Khudobin stopped all 34 shots on goal as the 34-year-old posted a shutout in Friday's 7-0 victory against the Predators. Khudobin picked up right where he left off after a very productive performance throughout the 2020 Playoffs, in which the Stars came two victories away from winning the Stanley Cup. Khudobin […]

Joe Pavelski Posts Four Points In Season Opener

Dallas Stars center Joe Pavelski scored two goals and added two assists in Friday's 7-0 victory against the Predators. The Stars were finally able to take the ice after having their schedule delayed to begin the season due to health and safety protocols put in place by the NHL, but Pavelski made his presence felt […]

Tim Stutzle Placed On Injured Reserve

Ottawa Senators left wing Tim Stutzle (undisclosed) was placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday afternoon.

Conor Garland Collects Three Points In Victory

Arizona Coyotes right wing Conor Garland scored a goal and added two assists in Friday's 5-2 victory against the Golden Knights.

Garland has totaled […]

Jamie Benn Dealing With Lower-Body Injury

Dallas Stars left wing Jamie Benn (lower body) left Friday's game in the second period after colliding with Predators forward Viktor Arvidsson. It looked like Benn's knee was the focal point of the injury. Stars coach Rick Bowness had no update on his captain's status after the game, but it is reasonable to expect the […]

Elvis Merzlikins Gets The Start On Saturday

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins will start Saturday afternoon's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 26-year-old has struggled out of the gate, posting an 0-1-1 record and 4.01 goals-against average through two starts.

Bashaud Breeland Will Play For Chiefs Defense

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Bashaud Breeland (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and has no game status for Sunday. He will play in the AFC Championship against the Buffalo Bills. It's good news for a Chiefs secondary that will be trying to slow down All-Pro wide receiver Stefon Diggs and breakout quarterback Josh Allen […]

Pierre-Luc Dubois Dealt To Jets In Sizable Trade

Columbus Blue Jackets center Pierre-Luc Dubois was traded to the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday afternoon. Dubois had wanted out of Columbus for some time, and the situation came to a boiling point on Thursday when John Tortorella benched him for most of the game. Dubois will get his fresh start with the Jets, likely playing […]

Patrik Laine Traded To Blue Jackets In Blockbuster Deal

Winnipeg Jets right wing Patrik Laine was traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday afternoon. The Finnish forward has been the subject of trade rumors for almost two seasons, despite proving to be one of the game's elite goal scorers. Laine is currently sidelined with an upper-body injury, so fantasy managers will have to […]

Dawson Knox Avoidable Versus Chiefs

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has shown some signs of life in the second half of the season. However, the Bills still don't have a significant role for him in the offense. Last week, Knox hauled in two receptions for 18 yards in the win over the Baltimore Ravens. He has been playing better […]

Gabriel Davis Too Risky To Trust

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's playoff matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. He was able to get in some limited work late this week, but it sounds like the team is still unsure if he'll suit up. His absence could mean more targets for Stefon Diggs, Cole […]

Cole Beasley Could Be A Risky Choice

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley (knee) was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. This is great news considering Beasley has been dealing with lingering knee issues for a few weeks. It's unclear if Beasley will be limited at all for this matchup. He finished with a […]

John Brown Has Sneaky Value

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown surprisingly had a solid game against the Baltimore Ravens last week. He hauled in eight receptions for 62 yards in the win. Brown has battled injuries all season long, but plays well when he's actually on the field. The Kansas City Chiefs are likely going to do everything in […]

Stefon Diggs Has Fantastic Value Against Chiefs

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs continues to put up video-game numbers, and it seems like no defense has an answer for him. Last week, Diggs hauled in eight receptions for 106 yards and one touchdown in the win over the Baltimore Ravens. Honestly, it seems like Diggs goes over 100 receiving yards in just […]

Devin Singletary Not An Ideal Option

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary remains the workhorse lead back for this offense while Zack Moss (shoulder) is sidelined. However, Singletary didn't see many carries during the victory over the Baltimore Ravens last week. He rushed seven times for 25 yards and hauled in three receptions for 12 yards through the air. It's unlikely […]
