Julius Randle Racks Up 20th Double-Double During Defeat

New York Knicks power forward/center Julius Randle finished Wednesday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies with 16 points, 14 rebounds and six assists, giving him another stuffed stat sheet, which has become par for the course in January. Despite his strong overall statistics, his struggles from long range have become endemic, now shooting 1-for-20 from beyond […]

Victor Oladipo Forces Overtime, Logs Nine Points In Season Debut

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Victor Oladipo took the floor as a reserve for Wednesday’s victory over the Chicago Bulls with his return ultimately making the difference in the win column. Oladipo scuffled to the tune of a 2-for-8 shooting performance, but one of those makes tied the game in the waning seconds of regulation, forcing […]

Elfrid Payton Records Double-Double Prior To Ejection

New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton was all over the stat sheet during Wednesday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, finishing with 15 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds in his 35 minutes.

Donovan Mitchell Has Another 30-Point Outing

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell hasn't let any team prevent him from scoring buckets in January, and that trend continued against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. Spida had 31 points, four assists, one rebound and one steal in a team-high 34 minutes. Mitchell has back-to-back 30-plus-point performances and has reached the 30-point mark […]

Jakob Poeltl Fails To Impress During Spot Start

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl received his second consecutive start in LaMarcus Aldridge's absence on Wednesday night but failed to take advantage of his opportunity. Poeltl scored four points on 2-for-2 shooting, along with eight rebounds, five assists and one block. To be fair to the 2016 first-round pick, he was going against Rudy […]

Reds Close To Landing Pedro Strop

The Cincinnati Reds are close to reaching an agreement with relief pitcher Pedro Strop, according to a source. Despite a poor 4.97 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 10 saves in 50 relief outings for the Cubbies last season, Strop is one of the better relief arms available at this stage of the offseason. The 34-year-old Dominican […]

Browns Hiring Alex Van Pelt As Offensive Coordinator

The Cleveland Browns are hiring former NFL quarterback and long-time quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt as their next offensive coordinator on Wednesday, according to a league source. Van Pelt was the offensive coordinator for the Bills in 2009. Head coach Kevin Stefanski could still call his own plays in his first season as the head […]

He'll receive an invite to spring training and can opt out of the deal if he's not on the Opening Day roster. The 29-year-old […]

Nick Senzel Not Expected To Be Traded

Cincinnati Reds president of baseball operations Dick Williams said that he expects outfielder Nick Senzel to remain with the team for the 2020 season. "I like what he brings to our club. He’s one of our own. He’s an impact, young offensive player. They don’t come along very often. The flexibility he brings to the […]

Clint Capela And James Harden Playing Wednesday

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela (heel) and guard James Harden (thigh) will both play Wednesday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Capela and Harden missed Monday's contest with their respective ailments and earned a questionable tag for Wednesday. However, they will both make their returns to the starting lineups against Portland. Austin Rivers and Eric […]

Xander Schauffele Could Be This Week's X-Factor

Xander Schauffele's missed cut at the Farmers Insurance Open has not only reduced his anticipated price for the Waste Management Open but has probably also decreased his ownership percentage. Schauffele will still have his fair share of support, so we don't want to intimate the idea of a sub-10 percent golfer, but the American makes […]

The Curious Case Of Jordan Spieth

Was Jordan Spieth's performance at Torrey Pines last weekend better? It is difficult to say. Driving accuracy remained an issue for the now 51st-ranked golfer in the world, struggling throughout the event by only hitting 44.6 percent of fairways. We find it moderately encouraging that Spieth was able to make the cut at a venue […]

Andre Drummond Available Wednesday Against Brooklyn

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (wrist) is expected to play Wednesday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Drummond was questionable with a left wrist sprain, but should be fine with his normal workload. His play should not be affected too much either as this is his non-shooting hand. The Nets are the 12th-ranked defense against centers […]

Justin Thomas Will Attempt To Get Back On Track in Arizona

A missed cut at the Sony Open earlier this month was a slight misstep from Justin Thomas, but the American is back in action this weekend at the Waste Management Open as one of the favorites to take down the title. Thomas has been erratic in his five attempts at TPC Scottsdale, missing two cuts […]

Jon Rahm Looks To Keep It Going In The Desert

Scorching form doesn't even begin to describe Jon Rahm's current run. The Spaniard has registered five consecutive top-10 results, which includes two victories in Spain and Dubai, as well as two second-place results at the Hero World Challenge and last week's Farmers Insurance Open. Since last year's Masters, Rahm has missed three cuts in 18 […]

Tevin Coleman Limited In Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (shoulder), along with linebacker Kwon Alexander (pectoral) and safety Jaquiski Tartt (ribs), were limited in practice on Wednesday. All three players should be active in the Super Bowl against the Chiefs, but it remains to be seen how much they will play. Coleman had only six carries for […]

Travis Kelce, Chris Jones Practice In Full

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (knee) and defensive tackle Chris Jones (calf) both practiced in full on Wednesday. Both players should be fine for the Super Bowl against the Chiefs this Sunday. Kelce had a quiet AFC Championship game but went off for three touchdowns against the Texans in the Divisional round. He […]

Marquese Chriss Held Out of Wednesday's Practice

Golden State Warriors center Marquese Chriss was held out of Wednesday's practice. He's on a two-way deal with the organization, so he can only spend 45 days with the team. Practice days are counted against him, so fantasy owners shouldn't be alarmed if Chriss misses practices. Chriss has taken over as the starting center with […]

Andre Drummond is Questionable Against Nets

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (wrist) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's dealing with a left wrist sprain, but honestly it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit this one out. Fantasy owners will have a better idea closer to tip-off. Thon Maker, Markieff Morris, and Christian Wood would […]

Jayson Tatum is Questionable Against Warriors

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Tatum has been sidelined the last week due to a groin issue. Head coach Brad Stevens believes that Tatum should be able to return within the next few games. Grant Williams and Semi Ojeleye will be asked […]

Kevon Looney Practices on Wednesday

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (abdomen) was able to get through a full practice on Wednesday. The Warriors are hopeful that Looney will be able to return at some point during the road trip. Willie Cauley-Stein was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, so Marquese Chriss has taken over as the starting center. Chriss is […]

Enes Kanter is Ruled Out on Thursday

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Kanter has been sidelined for a week, but Daniel Theis has stepped up in his spot. Theis and Vincent Poirier will be asked to step up with Kanter sidelined on Thursday. Theis is worth owning in standard […]

Pablo Sandoval Re-Signs With Giants

The San Francisco Giants re-signed third baseman Pablo Sandoval to a one-year deal on Wednesday. He can make $2 million if he makes the major league roster, plus another $750,000 in incentives. Sandoval had Tommy John surgery last year, but he's expected to make the team if he's healthy. That's no guarantee for a 33-year-old […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/29/20): NBA DFS Lineups

Things start to slow down considerably on Wednesday with only six games on the slate. We come into this day with a quite a few interesting situations to monitor. Victor Oladipo (knee) is slated to make his season debut after missing most of the season recovering from knee surgery.
