Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 14)

The turnaround Marcus Smart has made not only on the court, but in the fantasy atmosphere has been one of the absorbing narratives of the season. There are very few owners willing to trade him, seeing how they most likely drafted him in a later rounds, and this is the first time over the past […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to hire former Redskins head coach Jay Gruden as their next offensive coordinator, according to sources. A deal isn't officially done, but the Jaguars are very close to adding Gruden in the role.

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell seems confident that the team will re-sign defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March. Jacksonville wants Ngakoue back, and Caldwell said something "should be done hopefully relatively easily." He'd become one of the top pass rushers available if he hits the […]

Ozuna will hit in the middle of Atlanta's order and help replace the power production of third baseman Josh Donaldson, who signed with the Twins. Ozuna, 29, slashed .241/.328/.472 with 29 home […]

Mitch Keller Suffered From Bad Luck In 2019

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Mitch Keller, who had a 1-5 record and 7.13 ERA in just 48 innings over 11 starts in 2019, could be in line for a much better 2020 season if his luck improves. The former top prospect struck out 65 hitters and walked 16 of the 227 batters he faced and […]

Maurice Harkless is Probable for Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Maurice Harkless (back) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Head coach Doc Rivers think that Harkless will be fine for this game. He's expected to see increased playing time with Paul George (hamstring) listed as out. Landry Shamet and Harkless will be asked to soak up […]

Kristaps Porzingis Might Play Against Clippers

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He's hopeful to play since he's been out since Wednesday. The Mavs continue to be careful with their star center, so we'll see if he actually suits up here. It's unclear whether or not he'd be limited […]

Paul George is Listed as Out for Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He is flying to Dallas to meet up with the team, so there's hope that he plays during the road trip. Landry Shamet and Maurice Harkless (back) will gain value without George available. Both players are worth […]

Marcus Morris Might Play Against Lakers

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He suffered a sprained left ankle on Monday, so we'll see how he progresses. Fantasy owners are likely going to have to wait until after shootaround to see how Morris feels. Kevin Knox would likely join […]

Rudy Gay is Probable on Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (illness) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He's missed each of the last three games due to an illness. Fantasy owners will have a better idea after shootaround, but it sounds like Gay is going to be good to go for Wednesday. Trey […]

Alex Len is Questionable for Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He's missed each of the last four games due to lower back pain. Fantasy owners will have a better idea after Wednesday's shootaround. Damian Jones and Bruno Fernando will see increased playing time if Len sits out […]

Trevor Ariza Could Start on Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Trevor Ariza is likely going to start at small forward for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks, according to head coach Terry Stotts. The trade with the Sacramento Kings was officially finalized on Tuesday, so Ariza is ready to go now. He should have increased fantasy value with Portland instead of […]

Kent Bazemore is Expected to Play on Wednesday

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Kent Bazemore is expected to be active for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was recently acquired by the Kings in a trade a few days ago, but it was officially finalized on Tuesday. The move to Sacramento is actually going to hurt Bazemore's fantasy value. Bogdan Bogdanovic will be his […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Will Be Re-Evaluated Soon

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (oblique) is getting closer to returning after missing the last 13 games. Head coach Mike Miller said that Smith will be re-evaluated within the next few days. It's been a rough season for Smith, so he's probably not much of a fantasy option when healthy. Elfrid Payton and […]

Aaron Holiday Could Sit Out on Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Aaron Holiday (thumb) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He's dealing with right thumb soreness, but has played in every game this season. T.J. McConnell could see more minutes coming his way if Holiday sits out. However, McConnell won't have much fantasy appeal even if he gets […]

Jaylen Brown is Listed as Questionable for Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (thumb) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He returned on Monday, but missed the two games prior due to a thumb sprain. However, it appears Brown suffered a right ankle sprain during the fourth quarter of Monday's contest. Fantasy owners will likely have to wait […]

Kemba Walker is Expected to Play Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He missed a game over the weekend due to a left knee issue, but returned to action on Monday. He scored 20 points in 30 minutes, so fantasy owners should expect Walker to be out there for Wednesday's […]

Collin Morikawa Set To Make Farmers Debut

Collin Morikawa is in the field for the upcoming Farmers Insurance Open. It will be Morikawa's first career start in the California event. The 22-year-old has been a star since turning professional last summer and already has one PGA Tour victory on his resume. He isn't a long hitter off the tee, which may put […]

Dak Prescott Is Dallas' No. 1 Priority

Dallas Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said that quarterback Dak Prescott is the team's "No. 1 priority as we go into the offseason."

Jared Spurgeon Picks Up Two Points On Monday

Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon registered two power-play points as his team fell in regulation to the visiting Florida Panthers 5-4 on Monday.

Jameson Taillon Resumes Throwing

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (elbow) threw a baseball from 60 feet on Monday for the first time since having his second Tommy John surgery. It was Taillon's first day of pain-free throwing since last spring. The 28-year-old made just seven starts for the Bucs in 2019 before going under the knife, posting a […]

Julian Edelman Expected To Be Ready For Offseason Program

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (shoulder) underwent a shoulder procedure last week that is said to involve "not a lengthy rehab," and Edelman is expected to be ready for the team's offseason program, according to a league source. The 33-year-old was noticeably hindered by his shoulder to close out the year, but overall […]

Braves In Running For Marcell Ozuna, Nicholas Castellanos

The Atlanta Braves are still searching for a middle-of-the-order bat to replace third baseman Josh Donaldson, and outfielders Marcell Ozuna and Nicholas Castellanos are seen as the most likely options. Ozuna and Castellanos are both by far the two best available bats on the free-agent market. Both offer solid power profiles at the corner outfield […]

Dustin Pedroia Suffers Serious Setback

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia (knee) suffered what sources are calling a significant setback with his left knee. Pedroia is discussing his options with his family, agents and the Red Sox, and his availability for spring training is questionable. The 36-year-old has played in a combined nine games the last two seasons because […]

Jarvis Landry Not Expected To Need Surgery

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (hip) is not expected to undergo surgery, and he will play in the Pro Bowl. It's great news for a Browns offense that will be looking to shake off the disappointment of the 2019 season heading into 2020. Landry was the team's most consistent wideout last year, catching 83 […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Has Successful Surgery

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (abdomen) underwent successful surgery on Tuesday to fix a core muscle injury. A full recovery is expected.
