Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This marks the 11th game in a row that Millsap has missed.

Jamal Murray is Ruled Out for Tuesday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. It sounds like Murray is going to be sidelined for the foreseeable future.

James Harden Unlikely to Play on Monday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (thigh) is unlikely to suit up for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The Rockets would be thin with Russell Westbrook (rest) already ruled out for Monday.

Tony Finau Has Struggled At TPC Scottsdale

Tony Finau is in the field for the upcoming Waste Management Phoenix Open. Finau heads to Arizona on the heels of a strong T6 result at last week's Farmers Insurance Open.

Jeff McNeil - 2019 Season in Review

Jeff McNeil had quite the 2019 season for the Mets and, more importantly, for fantasy baseball owners. Never a major prospect in the Mets system, McNeil quietly joined the big club in 2018 and then blew up in 2019. Now, he is a major fantasy baseball draft riser in 2020 drafts, and there are a […]

Nick Senzel On The Trade Block?

The Cincinnati Reds are considering trading outfielder Nick Senzel. It makes sense now that the Reds signed outfielder Nicholas Castellanos to add to the team's crowded outfield picture that now includes the likes of Senzel, Castellanos, Jesse Winker, Shogo Akiyama, Aristides Aquino and Phillip Ervin. Senzel, 24, was the team's top prospect coming up through […]

Reds Agree With Nicholas Castellanos

The Cincinnati Reds agreed to a four-year, $64 million deal with outfielder Nicholas Castellanos on Monday, according to sources. The opt-out clause in the contract will be after the first season.

J.D. Davis - 2020 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

It's that time of year again to start touting this year's fantasy baseball draft sleepers for the upcoming 2020 season. While the term "sleeper" is generally overused, it's the simplest way for us analysts to tell you which players are a sneaky option to return value at their current draft-day price tags. With that said, […]
