The 32-year-old finished last season as the third-longest-tenured member of the Dodgers, behind just Clayton Kershaw and Kenley Jansen. He has a 3.03 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 3.08 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 355 career relief appearances since […]

Harris English Looking For Back-To-Back Wins

Harris English came away with a victory last week at Sentry TC, and he will look to ride that momentum into the Sony Open this week. English has put up some inconsistent results at Waialae over his career, but he enters this week at second in the FedEx Cup standings. He ranks eighth in total […]

San Antonio Lists DeMar DeRozan As Questionable For Thursday

San Antonio Spurs small/power forward DeMar DeRozan (personal) has been deemed questionable to return to the mix for Thursday's contest versus the Rockets due to personal reasons. Without DeRozan on the floor, Trey Lyles has drawn consecutive starts, while Lonnie Walker IV has taken on an increased offensive role, going for 25 and 24 points, […]

Abraham Ancer Riding Momentum Into Sony Open

Abraham Ancer had his fourth consecutive top-20 finish last week at Sentry TC, finishing T17. Ancer will make his fourth career start at the Sony Open where he has a missed cut and finishes of 29th and 38th in his career. He is accurate off the tee, hitting fairways at a rate of about 72 […]

John Wall Ruled Out For Thursday’s Game

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) will be absent from Thursday's contest versus the Spurs due to a sore left knee. Houston's lineup was set to look vastly different in the wake of the James Harden trade, although without Wall in the backcourt as well, the team could be massively short-handed if Eric Gordon […]

Wizards-Pistons Contest Set For Friday Postponed

The Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons will not face off Friday night as previously scheduled due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. Since a win Monday, the Wizards have had contact-tracing issues, which first wiped out Wednesday's game against the Jazz. The Pistons had been set to kick off a back-to-back beginning Friday, but will instead […]

Taysom Hill Sidelined Wednesday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (knee) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Hill touched the ball just seven times in the wild-card win over the Bears, and his knee injury likely had something to do with that.

Warriors-Suns Matchup Set For Friday Has Been Postponed

The Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns were set to square off Friday night, but the game has been postponed due to the league's COVID-19 protocols.

Jared Cook Receives Limited Tag Wednesday

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (back), offensive tackle Terron Armstead (elbow) and defensive end Trey Hendrickson (neck) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback, Cook should play against the Buccaneers on Sunday night in the Divisional Round. Hendrickson, who had a career-high 13.5 sacks this year, looks to be improving […]

Eric Bledsoe Will Be Sidelined For Wednesday’s Game

New Orleans Pelicans point/shooting guard Eric Bledsoe (eye) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Clippers due to an irritated right eye. His absence leaves the Pelicans without three starters, as he joins Zion Williamson (COVID-19) and Lonzo Ball (knee) on the sidelines. With the team's starting back court unavailable, look for Nickeil […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Will Suit Up Wednesday

The Los Angeles Lakers will have both point guard/small forward LeBron James (ankle) and power forward/center Anthony Davis (back) at their disposal for Wednesday's contest versus the Thunder after the duo popped up on the injury report with questionable tags. Despite the game coming on the second leg of a back-to-back, both James and Davis […]

Marcus Peters, Matt Judon Remain Out Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marcus Peters (back) and linebacker Matt Judon (illness) remain out of practice on Wednesday for the second straight day. Both players will need to get in at least a limited practice on Thursday to have a shot at suiting up for the Divisional Round matchup against the Bills on Saturday night. Baltimore's […]

Tyler Bass Returns To Practice

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass (hand) returned to practice on Wednesday after being sidelined on Tuesday with a hand injury. Bass should be fine to kick against the Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Round on Saturday night after he connected on both of his field-goal tries and all three of his extra points in the […]

Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo Remain Unavailable Thursday

The eight Miami Heat players that missed Tuesday's game due to the league's health and safety protocols have also been ruled out for Thursday's contest versus the 76ers.

Cooper Kupp, John Wolford Miss Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (knee) and quarterback John Wolford (neck) both missed practice on Wednesday. Kupp also sat out of the walk-through on Tuesday. He's reportedly just dealing with bursitis in his knee, but it's something to watch as we approach Saturday's Divisional Round contest against the Packers. He'll need to get […]

Mike Evans, Chris Godwin Limited In Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Mike Evans (knee) and Chris Godwin (hip, quadriceps) and cornerback Carlton Davis (groin) were limited in practice Wednesday. Edge rusher Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) did not practice. Barring any setbacks, Evans and Godwin should be good to go against the Saints in the Divisional Round on Sunday night. Evans had six […]

Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Okogie Cleared To Start Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) and shooting guard/small forward Josh Okogie (hamstring) have both been given the green light to suit up for Wednesday's contest versus the Grizzlies after drawing questionable tags.

Ravens Defense Will Bring Pressure Against Bills

The Baltimore Ravens Defense doesn't plan to change their blitz-heavy approach against Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in the Divisional Round matchup this Saturday night. Allen was among the best QBs at handling pressure in 2020, with the Ravens having blitzed an NFL-high 41 percent of the time this season. Allen has thrown a league-leading […]

Carey Price Looks To Continue Recent Success Versus Maple Leafs

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will be between the pipes for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The former MVP posted a 3-0-0 record against the high-flying Leafs offense last year and excelled throughout the playoff bubble. Jake Allen will take away some starts, but Price remains a top-10 fantasy goalie. The Canadiens improved […]

Derrick Rose Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Detroit Pistons point/shooting guard Derrick Rose (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks due to persistent knee issues. Fantasy managers can eye Delon Wright as a DFS target, as he should have unabated minutes at the PG slot with Frank Jackson likely to serve as his backup. Rose's absence will mark […]

New York Without Reggie Bullock For Wednesday’s Game

New York Knicks shooting guard/small forward Reggie Bullock (hip) has been ruled out for his second consecutive contest Wednesday against Brooklyn due to a sore right hip. His absence comes as rookie Obi Toppin (calf) has been cleared to rejoin the rotation, although head coach Tom Thibodeau was mum about the role that Toppin might […]

Jared Veldheer Placed On COVID-19 List

The Green Bay Packers placed recently signed offensive tackle Jared Veldheer on the Reserve/COVID-19 list due to a positive test for the virus. It means that Veldheer will not make history (at least not yet) and become the first player in NFL history to play for two different teams in the same postseason. The 33-year-old […]

Kristaps Porzingis Making Season Debut Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been cleared to start Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, which will mark his season debut.

Season-long fantasy managers that have waited nearly the first […]

Latavius Murray Day-To-Day

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray (quadriceps) missed practice on Wednesday and is considered day-to-day, according to a source.

Alex Tuch Cleared For Opening Night

Vegas Golden Knights left wing Alex Tuch (undisclosed) will play in Thursday's season opener against the Anaheim Ducks. The 24-year-old has been hampered by a minor ailment, but nothing serious enough to keep him out of action. Tuch played well across last season's playoff run, tallying eight goals in 20 games. Unfortunately, he remains buried […]

Rodions Kurucs, Dante Exum Sent To Houston

Brooklyn Nets forward Rodions Kurucs and Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dante Exum (calf) have been traded to the Houston Rockets in a massive blockbuster deal.
