James Harden Might Miss Sunday's Game

Houston Rockets guard James Harden (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Reggie Jackson Won't Play on Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Bruce Brown Jr. (thumb) and […]

Steven Adams is Questionable on Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Nerlens Noel Has Surgery to Repair His Cheek

Oklahoma City Thunder center Nerlens Noel (face) had surgery on his cheek and won't suit up for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Danilo Gallinari is Ruled Out Against 'Wolves

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari (thumb) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He played well during Friday's game, but it appears he suffered a left thumb injury in the process. The Thunder are a bit banged up, so Darius Bazley could be looking at significant playing time. Bazley could […]

C.J. McCollum Goes Through Practice on Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers guard C.J. McCollum (ankle) was able to go through practice on Saturday. There's a chance that McCollum gets back on the court for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. That might be a little too fast, but fantasy owners will have to wait and see. Gary Trent Jr. and Anfernee Simons will […]

Cameron Johnson is Out At Least A Week

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (quad) is not going to be in the rotation for the next few games. Johnson is suffering from a right quad contusion and will be re-evaluated in one week. Mikal Bridges will be asked to step up and make an impact with the Suns shorthanded for the next week or […]

DeAndre Jordan Remains Out on Saturday

Brooklyn Nets center DeAndre Jordan (finger) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Spencer Dinwiddie Will Come Off The Bench on Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie will head to the second unit for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Nets have been struggling lately, so they have decided to shake it up.

Willie Cauley-Stein Won't Play on Saturday

Dallas Mavericks center Willie Cauley-Stein won't play in Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The trade was official on Saturday afternoon, so Cauley-Stein won't be ready for this matchup.

Rangers Unlikely To Trade For Nolan Arenado

Carlos Rodon Working Through His Rehab

Chicago White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said that starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (elbow) is three-quarters of the way through his rehab for Tommy John surgery.

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman (elbow) said he's been working out "full bore" since last month without pain for the first time in nine years after having two bone spurs and three fragments removed from his elbow.

Rich Hill Eyeing Early June Return

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Rich Hill (elbow) said that he is scheduled to start baseball activities next week, and he's aiming to return in early June.

Ronald Acuna Will Stay In Leadoff Spot

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said he will not move outfielder Ronald Acuna out of the leadoff spot in 2020. Snitker had Acuna in the cleanup spot to start the 2019 season but moved him back to leadoff. The 22-year-old superstar will be an elite fantasy asset no matter where he's hitting, but he really […]

Cubs Agree With Steven Souza Jr.

The Chicago Cubs agreed to a one-year deal with outfielder Steven Souza Jr. on Saturday, according to a source. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed. Souza missed all of the 2019 season with a knee injury and played in just 72 games for the Diamondbacks in 2018 due to injury. However, he […]

Fernando Tatis Jr. - 2019 Season in Review

A year ago, though he was highly valued in dynasty leagues, Fernando Tatis Jr. was viewed merely as a late-round flier in redraft formats. At just 20 years old and with only 450 plate appearances above Single-A, there was a large degree of uncertainty around his 2019 outlook. Would San Diego's front office manipulate his […]
