Tobias Harris Listed As Doubtful To Play Monday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) suffered a knee contusion and is doubtful to play against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday. Harris suffered the injury in Saturday's game, but played through it.

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker will be limited during spring training due to general body soreness, but he remains on track for Opening Day.

Shohei Ohtani Throws Bullpen Session

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) threw a light bullpen session on Sunday. This is an intriguing step in the right direction for the two-way player, who played primarily as an offensive player last season while he recovered from Tommy John surgery. Ohtani has plenty of hurdles to continue to clear before he […]

Norman Powell Remains Out on Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard Norman Powell (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He remains sidelined with a left finger issue that has cost him three weeks of playing time. The team has not announced a timetable for his return, so it's unclear when Powell is going to get back on […]

Ben Simmons Ruled Out for Monday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Simmons left after five minutes during Saturday's game due to back soreness.

Draymond Green Won't Play Versus Pelicans

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (pelvis) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Marquese Chriss (calf) is listed as questionable for this one, so the Warriors could be thin at center. Eric Paschall, Kevon Looney, and recently signed Dragan Bender could be asked to step up. Paschall is the […]

Marquese Chriss is Questionable for Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward Marquese Chriss (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Draymond Green (pelvis) has already been ruled out, so the Warriors could be thin here. Kevon Looney and recently signed Dragan Bender could be looking at significant minutes if Chriss is unable to play. Fantasy owners […]

Kemba Walker Won't Suit Up Versus Lakers

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks his second game in a row that he has missed due to a lingering left knee issue. The Celtics are going to remain cautious with their superstar guard, so fantasy owners shouldn't be surprised if […]

Andrew McCutchen Hopes To Be Ready For Opening Day

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen (knee) hasn't been cleared to play in games and is still following his own workout plan as he attempts to recover from a torn ACL. Despite the delay, McCutchen still plans on being ready for Opening Day and could even see some Spring Training action if all goes well. McCutchen […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. is Out 2 Weeks

Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. (knee) is going to be sidelined at least two weeks after suffering an injury during Friday's game. He left after 16 minutes on Friday due to a sprained left knee. He'll be re-evaluated in two weeks, but the Grizzlies are likely to be cautious with their young forward. Brandon […]

Elfrid Payton Could Sit Out on Monday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He missed Friday's game and was unable to practice on Saturday. Frank Ntilikina (groin) started on Friday, but is listed as questionable for this game as well. Ntilikina is expected to start again if he's cleared to […]

Roman Quinn Fighting For Playing Time This Spring

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Roman Quinn hopes 2020 is the year he can stay healthy and battle for a starting job in the Phillies' outfield. Quinn, who is entering camp in a position battle with former first-round pick Adam Haseley, spent three different stints on the injured list last season. He changed his offseason routine with […]

Ben Simmons Will Undergo MRI on Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (back) left after just a few minutes during Saturday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks. He scored five points in five minutes before exiting the game and not returning. He'll undergo an MRI on Sunday, but Adrian Wojnarowski believes there is some concern surrounding the injury. Simmons missed Thursday's game due […]

Maxi Kleber (PF/C, DAL): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: I think Maximilian Kleber's ownership is a little too high at least for standard, 12-team leagues. Other than that, though, it makes sense to find him at 40% in deeper tournaments and structures. Keep in mind this stat: Kleber is averaging 25 […]

Coby White (PG, CHI): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of leagues ANALYSIS: While Coby White hasn't started a single game for the Bulls in his rookie season, at least he's taking baby steps toward improving his overall game steadily. Chicago has been giving White more chances lately by ramping up his minutes (under 24 […]

Mike Soroka Dealing With Sore Groin

Atlanta Braves starter Mike Soroka will have his first Grapefruit League start pushed back a few days after hurting his groin during live batting practice. The team is just being cautious with their young ace, as it is a minor injury. The 22-year-old was a stellar fantasy asset last season, posting a 13-4 record to […]

Gio Gonzalez Showing Progress

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez (shoulder) threw long toss and curveballs on Sunday. Gonzalez has made “big time progress” and has no doubts that he will be ready for Opening Day and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday. The lefty went 3-2 with a 3.50 ERA in 17 starts and […]

Frank Ntilikina Might Sit Out on Monday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He drew the start during Friday's game because Elfrid Payton (ankle) was sidelined. It doesn't sound like Payton is going to play on Monday, so Ntilikina would get another start if he's cleared to play. Otherwise, Dennis […]

Phillies Have High Hopes For Adam Haseley In Center

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Adam Haseley is the leading candidate to start in center field this season after a slew of injuries rushed him to the big leagues last year. Haseley went from Double-A to Triple-A to the majors in a span of seven days last season before getting injured himself. Haseley struggled upon his return […]

Jae Crowder (SF/PF, MIA): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 42% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm making an exception here going over the 40% ownership threshold, but Jae Crowder totally merits it. The chances are lower you will find him still available for free in your league, sure, but if you do you shouldn't hesitate to add him […]

Markelle Fultz Practices on Sunday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (calf) was able to participate in Sunday's practice without any issues. He played 25 minutes during Friday's game, but was held out of the fourth quarter due to a left calf issue. However, Fultz feels better now and has been cleared for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Fantasy owners […]

Dragan Bender is Available for Sunday

Golden State Warriors forward Dragan Bender has been officially signed by the organization on Sunday. He'll be available for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He could be thrown into the fire with the team banged up here. Draymond Green (pelvis) is out, while Marquese Chriss (calf) is listed as questionable for this one. […]

Kent Bazemore (SG/SF, SAC): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm starting to think everybody around Sacramento performs better off the bench than in a starter role. The Kings moved Buddy Hield to the pine and he's thrived since. Back in late January they acquired Kent Bazemore from Portland, sit him on the […]

Josh Hart (SG/SF, NO): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: We're bordering the 40% ownership rate with Josh Hart and for good reason. While only a top-65 player on the season, Hart's past month of play has been so good that he's ranking as a top-35 performer in the past 30 days. In […]

Khris Davis Dealing With Minor Calf Issue

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis is dealing with a minor calf issue and won't play in Spring Training games until Tuesday. Reports indicate Davis is fine, and it may be better for Davis to ease into the spring anyway, but any injury news is concerning after a hip issue torpedoed his 2019 season. Davis […]

De'Andre Hunter (SF, ATL): Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: I wonder if De'Andre Hunter is the most overlooked starter going under the radar in fantasy leagues these days... Must be close if it's not the case. Owned in less than a fourth of all Yahoo leagues, Hunter has started all but two […]

Ben Roethlisberger A Few Months From Full Clearance

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) had a doctor visit on Friday and said, "It was a good report. I got to bypass the tennis ball throwing for a month and go right to the football. Still going to be about 2.5-3 months until I get total clearance from doc but we are doing good!" […]
