Bryce Harper Has Big Night Vs Braves

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper had a huge night Monday, leading the charge in a rout of the Braves. Harper took Braves starter Sean Newcomb deep in the first inning for a three run homer and the Phillies never looked back en route to 13 runs. On the night, Harper went 2-for-3 with three runs […]

Alex Smith Could Compete For Starting Job

At one point, it looked like Washington quarterback Alex Smith would never step onto a football field again after a devastating leg injury in 2018, but head coach Ron Rivera says that if Smith is healthy, he'll have a chance to compete for the starting job. That's bad news for second-year passer Dwayne Haskins, who […]

Danny Mendick Picks Up Three Hits

Chicago White Sox infielder Danny Mendick went 3-for-4 with a triple on Monday versus the Detroit Tigers. Mendick has hit a respectable .303 in limited action this year and is now the everyday second baseman with Nick Madrigal (shoulder) sidelined. Mendick isn’t likely to have long term value and is best suited in DFS.

Packers Claim Travis Fulgham

The Green Bay Packers have claimed wide receiver Travis Fulgham off waivers from the Detroit Lions. A sixth-round pick out of Old Dominion last season, Fulgham appeared in three games for Detroit, playing 42 offensive snaps against Green Bay in December but not recording a target. With Devin Funchess opting out and a top-heavy receiving […]

Dallas Keuchel Suffers Loss In Quality Start

Chicago White Sox pitcher Dallas Keuchel recorded a quality start on Monday, but suffered his second loss in the process. Over six inning against the Tigers, Keuchel allowed six hits, three runs, two walks and had four strikeouts. The veteran lefty is now 2-2 with his new squad and will look for his third victory […]

Aaron Nola Twirls Gem Vs Braves

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola allowed one run in eight stellar innings as he picked up his first in of the season Monday vs the Braves. Nola allowed just two hits and a walk while striking out 10 in the dominant effort. The right-hander has double digit strikeouts in back-to-back outings while lowering his […]

Sony Michel's Status Still Uncertain

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel (foot) isn't a lock to be recovered by Week 1, putting a major question mark beside the back who most expected to lead this New England backfield in rushing attempts. The team signed veteran Lamar Miller as insurance on Monday, further complicating things and suggesting that Michel's injury […]

Patriots Sign Lamar Miller

The New England Patriots have signed former Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller to a one-year deal. Miller missed all of 2019 after tearing his ACL and MCL in preseason, but the veteran back has shown some explosiveness in the past and adds important insurance to this backfield, especially with Sony Michel (foot) not a […]

Steven Matz Torched By Nationals On Monday

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz was absolutely lit up by the Nationals on Monday over 4 1/3 innings pitched. On the same day teammate Marcus Stroman opted-out of the 2020 season, Matz allowed eight hits including three home runs, eight earned runs, and walked one, while striking out five. Matz has now given […]

Jordan Clarkson Drills Five Threes In 14 Minutes

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson scored 18 points with five treys in just 14 minutes of a 122-114 loss to the Mavericks. It's a shame that Utah was resting their best players in this one, including Clarkson, because he was red-hot. He doesn't provide much more other than points and threes, but he's very solid […]

J.J. Barea Scores 18 With Eight Dimes

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea scored 18 points with eight assists and two triples in 26 minutes on Monday. Barea filled in at point guard for Luka Doncic (ankle) and ran the offense masterfully, helping to lead his team to a victory. The 36-year-old may not be the most attractive fantasy option, but take a […]

FanDuel, DraftKings NHL DFS Lineup Picks (8/11/20): Daily Fantasy Hockey Advice

The bracket of 16 is set as the Stanley Cup playoffs begin! Tuesday features four first-round matchups featuring  Carolina-Boston along with Chicago squaring off against Vegas. Remember, when looking around for plays, an over/under of 6 dictates offense, but an over/under of 5 or sometimes 5.5 tilts towards the goalies. There are several games at […]

Boban Marjanovic Scores 20 In 25 Minutes

Dallas Mavericks center Boban Marjanovic scored 20 points with nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal in 25 minutes. Marjanovic filled in for Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and looked the part as he also drained all six of his free-throw attempts. The 31-year-old rarely plays, but his gigantic size makes him an impossible matchup […]

Seth Curry Bounces Back With 22 Points

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry was extremely efficient in a bounceback performance on Monday, knocking down 8 of 11 field-goal attempts and 4 of 6 three-point attempts for 22 points. This comes after Curry had just two points against Milwaukee on Saturday. Of course, it helps that the team was without the services of Luka […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Leads The Way With 27 Points

Dallas Mavericks forward Tim Hardaway Jr. picked up the slack without Luka Doncic (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (knee) in a 122-114 victory over the Jazz. Hardaway Jr. scored a game-high 27 points with four assists, three rebounds and three triples in 34 minutes. It was a much-needed performance for the 28-year-old, who scored just 16 […]

Cameron Johnson Sinks Four Triples In Win

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson poured in 18 points on 6 of 11 shooting from the field. Johnson has played the small-ball four role for Phoenix in the bubble and it has largely worked. The 24-year-old has maintained his level of shooting from beyond the arc while getting more rebound and block opportunities in the […]

De'Aaron Fox Ruled Out For Tuesday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (shoulder) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Kings have already been eliminated, so their focus is getting through the bubble without any new injuries. Cory Joseph and Yogi Ferrell are expected to split up the minutes at point guard. Buddy Hield and Bogdan […]

Alexey Oleinik Unable To Win 60th Career Bout

Alexey Oleinik met an unfortunate end to his night, being knocked out in the main event's second round. He was only able to reel off two significant strikes. He was able to land his lone takedown and held control of Derrick Lewis for 2:21 of the first round. The Russian almost finished Lewis with a […]

Richaun Holmes Won't Suit Up Against Pelicans

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Kings have been eliminated from the playoff picture, which means they have little incentive to run Holmes at out at less than 100 percent. Harry Giles and Alex Len will be asked to step up without […]

Derrick Lewis Earns Knockout In Main Event

Derrick Lewis won his third bout in a row, knocking out veteran Alexey Oleinik in the second round. Lewis landed 35 significant strikes, dominating the standup activity. As expected, he was almost caught in a scarf-hold submission near the end of the first round. Lewis came out quick in the second round and knocked out […]

Shabazz Napier Questionable For Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard Shabazz Napier (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The team has no incentive to play Napier at less than 100 percent, so he'll more than likely sit out. That means, Troy Brown, Ish Smith, and Jerome Robinson will see more playing time on Tuesday. Brown probably […]

Chris Paul Plays Just 24 Minutes In Loss

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Chris Paul scored 14 points with seven assists in just 24 minutes on Monday. Paul added seven made free-throws, five boards, two steals and a triple in what was basically a ceded game by Oklahoma City, who rested five of their top-six scorers. The shot attempts have been below double-digits in […]

Omari Akhmedov Unable To Get The Win

Omari Akhmedov was unable to get the victory over his biggest task to date in Chris Weidman. Akhmedov landed 33 significant strikes in the bout and landed half of his takedowns, going 4-for-8 in that department. The No. 11 middleweight will try to rebound in his next bout, which will probably be against someone outside […]

T.J. Warren Active Versus Heat

Indiana Pacers forward T.J. Warren (foot) will be active for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. He was listed as questionable, but it sounds like Warren is good to go for this one. He has been unreal during the bubble, so expect him to be heavily owned in DFS contests. It doesn't sound like the […]

Chris Weidman Wins In Return To Middleweight

Chris Weidman won a very close decision against Omari Akhmedov. With the win, Weidman returns to the win column for the first time since July of 2017. Weidman collected 67 total strikes, with 25 of those being significant strikes. This was a make-or-break bout for Weidman if he wanted to continue his career. In his […]

Goran Dragic Returns On Monday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (ankle) will return for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He missed each of the last two games due to a sprained right ankle. He could be somewhat restricted for Monday game. Tyler Herro won't have the same amount of fantasy appeal with Dragic and Jimmy Butler (foot) back on […]

Jimmy Butler Back In The Starting Five

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) is back in the starting five for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has been practicing over the weekend and it doesn't sound like the foot is an issue for him anymore. Although, he did miss three straight games, so the Heat could decide to limit Butler on […]

Danuel House Could Sit Out Tuesday

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (toe) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He is dealing with a left toe sprain, but head coach Mike D'Antoni didn't mention anything about it earlier in the day. It's the front end of a back-to-back set, so it's possible the team decides to […]

Fred Vanvleet Out Against Milwaukee

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The team is taking the cautious approach and resting Vanvleet, Kyle Lowry (back), and Serge Ibaka (knee) all for Monday's game. Terence Davis and Norman Powell will jump into the starting five and see their usage and minutes […]
