Phil Di Giuseppe Stays Productive Friday Night

New York Rangers winger Phil Di Giuseppe collected a pair of assists in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to Pittsburgh, upping his tally for the season to four points. He's played only three games so the 27-year-old is pretty hot to start off the campaign. Di Giuseppe added a team-high five shots on Friday and also […]

DraftKings MMA, UFC DFS Lineup Picks - Poirier vs. McGregor 2 (UFC 257)

It's been a month since the last "numbered" UFC event, UFC 256, which took place all the way back on Dec. 12th, 2020. Back then, the action took place in Las Vegas, NV, and it saw Figueiredo took on Moreno for the Flyweight Championship, which the former retained after a decision win over the latter. […]

It's been a month since the last "numbered" UFC event, UFC 256, which took place all the way back on Dec. 12th, 2020.

Garrett Temple (PG/SG, CHI): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: While veteran Garrett Temple logged his second start of the season last Monday, that was all thanks to Patrick Williams opening him the door while being off the squad. The rook came back on Friday, and that threw Temple back to the bench. […]

Naz Reid (C, MIN): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: Karl-Anthony Towns, Minnesota's starting center and perhaps its only viable fantasy player, announced his COVID positive back on Jan. 15th. Assuming he's out 10-to-15 days, the soonest he would come back is next Monday, although most probably he will stay out for the […]

Cedi Osman (SF/PF, CLE): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: I was watching Cleveland defeat Brooklyn in the first merry-go-round of the Nets new Big Three, and I was thinking about the vast amount of players that go through the Association and are forgotten the minute they leave the L. Enter Cedi Osman, […]

Artemi Panarin Reaches 100 Points For Rangers

New York Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin collected his 100th point in the team's jersey on Friday, posting a power-play assist on an Adam Fox goal. Filip Chytil and Kaapo Kakko also scored for the Rangers in a 4-3 shootout loss. Panarin broke Mark Messier's franchise record as the fastest player to reach 100 points. […]

Cole Anthony (PG, ORL): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of leagues ANALYSIS: Cole Anthony, the rookie out of Manhattan, became the Magic no. 15th pick in the 2020 NBA draft. With starter Markelle Fultz improving on a game-to-game basis, he was always going to be bench-fodder at least for the time being... until Fultz went […]

Trey Burke (PG/SG, DAL): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Burke had a disappointing start to his career, the Mavs added him to their roster on a fully-guaranteed, three-year deal last season in time for the postseason run inside Orlando's bubble. And he hasn't looked back since then. Now a seven-year vet […]

Kendrick Nunn (PG/SG, MIA): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: If you remember anything about last season, it must be that the Lakers faced the Heat in the Bubble-Finals. That's cool, but what matters most here is that you should remember what--or rather, who--took Miami to a position where they could ultimately contend […]

Bryan Rust Posts First Goal And 11 Shots In Penguins Victory

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Bryan Rust was like a man possessed in Friday's 4-3 shootout victory over the Rangers, recording 11 of the team's 28 shots on goal. He opened the scoring with his first goal of the season, but the Penguins found themselves trailing by two after the Rangers scored three goals inside three minutes […]

Jeff Green (SF/PF/C, BKN): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: Lost in the aftermath of the Nets-Rockets trade was the fact that a basketball lineup is made out of five, not three players. Even with all of Durant, Irving, and Harden locked as starters, Brooklyn still needs to put two more guys on the […]

Immanuel Quickley (PG/SG, NYK): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Knicks being the Knicks had to do something weird no matter what. It's an annual tradition, so they had to keep it up, I guess. That's why they drafted Obi Toppin in the lottery and left Imma Quickley for later in the […]

Dylan Cozens Scores First NHL Goal

Buffalo Sabres forward Dylan Cozens celebrated his first career goal in Friday's losing effort against Washington, bagging an unassisted marker in the middle of the second frame. Eric Staal and Riley Sheahan also scored for the Sabres in a 4-3 shootout loss, while the team's top line was held pointless. Cozens is the seventh pick […]

Josh Hart (SG/SF, NO): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: Josh Hart is far from your average small-wing, big-guard. Hart truly sits in the sweet spot between those two labels. That's why the second-unit Pelican is putting up great rebounding numbers this season (7.6 RPG) while only playing 28 MPG on the year […]

Nerlens Noel (PF/C, NYK): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 35% of leagues ANALYSIS: Noel has played in all 14 Knicks games this season. That's not a bad start, as we all know the best ability is availability. Rostered in more than one of each three Yahoo leagues, Noel's numbers are going to stay low as long […]

Tom Wilson Picks Up Lower-Body Injury Friday Night

Washington Capitals right wing Tom Wilson left Friday's 4-3 shootout victory against Buffalo early with a lower-body injury. He collected an assist and had four shots and one block before leaving in the third period. Wilson's injury is another blow for the Capitals, who are already without Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov due to the […]
