HOCKEY IS ON FIRE!!! Friday features six more potential elimination games. We focus on the five-game main slate which starts at 2:30 pm ET. Remember, when looking around for plays, an over/under of 6 dictates offense, but an over/under of 5 or sometimes 5.5 tilts towards the goalies. There are several games at 6.5, as […]

Closers and Saves Report - Week 3 Waiver Wire

Before this 60-game season started, we all knew every little thing would matter more. We knew that every game was, essentially, 2.7 times as important as a regular game in a 162-game season. We knew managers would have much shorter leashes on their underperforming players, and perhaps much quicker promotions for the quick starters. But […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (8/7/20): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

So, about that Chennedy Carter game on Thursday. I avoided playing any Dream players in DFS because of the matchup with Seattle, which gave me a ton of pause, especially for Carter, who was being guarded by Jordin Canada. Didn't matter. Carter's now the youngest player in league history with a 30-point game. In this […]

Seedings are starting to fall into place in Disney World.

Luckily […]

Kyle Tucker May Be Arriving

Coming into this season, Kyle Tucker was widely viewed as an intriguing outfielder due to his prospect pedigree and power-speed profile while hitting in a stacked Astros' lineup. Tucker slashed .266/.354/.555 with 34 home runs and 30 stolen bases in 536 plate appearances at Triple-A last season, leaving fantasy players drooling over his upside. Tucker […]

We're back! After a weekend off, the NASCAR Truck Series is back in action this week at Michigan International Speedway. This is the only visit by the Trucks to a two-mile track this year, so it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. Last year, Austin Hill won this race, while three of […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Listed As Questionable For Saturday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He is currently dealing with a left hip strain, but there isn't much more information out right now. Finney-Smith has been playing heavy minutes during the bubble, so his absence leaves a fairly significant void in the rotation. […]

Seth Curry Upgraded To Questionable For Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (leg) has been upgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is great news as it sounds like Curry is making progress and getting closer to a return. Delon Wright and Trey Burke have seen increased roles with Curry sidelined. However, neither of them have been able […]

Glenn Robinson III Won't Suit Up Friday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Glenn Robinson III (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was able to get through practice on Thursday, so the team is hopeful that he can make his bubble debut soon. There should be some playing time available while Ben Simmons (knee) is sidelined. Until then, […]

Mike Scott Available Against Magic

Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. The team will be without Ben Simmons (knee) for the foreseeable future, which means someone is going to need to step up. Al Horford figures to gain the most fantasy value and playing time from the loss of Simmons. He […]

Steven Adams Listed As Questionable Versus Grizzlies

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (leg) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He suffered a left lower leg contusion during Wednesday's game. The team might decide to take the cautious approach and have Adams sit out here. Nerlens Noel would be asked to step up and start if Adams […]

James Washington Activated From COVID-19 List

The Pittsburgh Steelers activated wide receiver James Washington from the COVID-19 reserve list on Friday. Washington was placed on the list on August 2. The third-year wide receiver has 60 receptions for 952 yards and four touchdowns across his two NFL seasons. The team released linebacker John Houston, an undrafted rookie free-agent, in a corresponding […]

Zion Williamson Resting On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (rest) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Pelicans will take the cautious approach and rest Williamson. He played 22 minutes on Thursday, but the team continues to be careful with their prized rookie. Derrick […]

Cubs Vs. Cardinals Game Postponed On Friday

Friday's scheduled game between the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals has been postponed due to another positive COVID-19 test. The Cardinals have had their season paused after a bunch of positive tests, but they were cleared to return to play on Friday before a new positive test threw a wrench in those gears. […]

Eagles Re-Sign Vinny Curry

The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to re-sign defensive end Vinny Curry to a one-year deal worth up to $2 million. $1.3 million is guaranteed, making Curry basically a lock for the final roster. Curry spent the first six years of his NFL career in Philly, and returned last season, recording five sacks while playing 415 snaps. […]

Joe Harris Could Miss Friday's Contest

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris (groin) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He is dealing with a left groin contusion after battling a hamstring injury earlier this week. The team may decide to rest Harris and let him heal up for next game. Caris Levert, Timothe Luwawu and Garrett Temple […]

Jamal Crawford Will Miss A Few Games

Brooklyn Nets guard Jamal Crawford (hamstring) is going to be sidelined for a few games, according to head coach Jacque Vaughn. He looked solid during his bubble debut, but sadly it was short lived because of a hamstring strain. It's unclear if Crawford's injury will heal in time for him to help the team on […]

Jarrett Allen Remains Questionable For Friday

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He suffered a left ankle sprain during Wednesday's contest. The team is unsure if this will force him to the sideline, but hopefully it's only a one game absence at maximum. Rodions Kurucs would likely be asked to […]

Kent Bazemore Might Sit Out Friday

Sacramento Kings guard Kent Bazemore (calf) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Bazemore has been dealing with left calf soreness, so the team might limit him here. He has been decent during the bubble, averaging 10.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals. Buddy Hield should gain the […]

Richaun Holmes Could Sit Out Against Nets

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has been underwhelming during the bubble, but maybe the 10-day quarantine through off his conditioning. Alex Len and Harry Giles would be asked to split up a majority of the minutes at center if Holmes is unable […]

Goran Dragic Questionable For Saturday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He's in jeopardy of missing his second straight game, but we'll have to wait and see how his injury progresses. Jimmy Butler (foot) has been ruled out, which would normally mean Dragic stands to gain value. However, Kendrick […]

Jimmy Butler Will Miss Third Straight Game

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) will sit out his third game in a row on Saturday versus the Phoenix Suns. He is dealing with right foot soreness, but it's unclear how significant the injury is at the moment. The Heat might have Butler sit out a few games as a precaution. Goran Dragic (ankle) […]

Aaron Gordon Not Playing Against 76ers

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was listed as doubtful heading into this game, but the team mentioned he won't be re-evaluated for a few days. Wesley Iwundu and Gary Clark should both see extended playing time. Terrence Ross is the biggest winner […]
