Marcus Morris is Questionable Against Cavs

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Bobby Portis and Kevin Knox will be asked to step up if Morris is unable to […]

Davis Bertans Could Sit Out on Monday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (neck) is listed as a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Moritz Wagner (ankle) and Rui Hachimura (groin) are expected to both be back on the court for this game. The Wizards might play it safe and let Bertans sit out since Wagner and Hachimura are […]

Marcus Smart is Ruled Out Against Hawks

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (thigh) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's dealing with right thigh soreness and is considered day-to-day at the moment. The Celtics are most likely going to use a committee approach to fill the void while Smart is sidelined. Brad Wanamaker could see the biggest […]

Enes Kanter Will Return on Monday

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter (hip) is available for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He'll return to the rotation after missing five games in a row. Daniel Theis has been playing fantastic lately, so it's unlikely that the Celtics take away minutes from Theis at the moment. Kanter won't have much fantasy value while […]

Ricky Rubio is Probable for Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Rubio has been dealing with right ankle soreness and the Suns may elect to rest him in again in the second game of a back-to-back set.

Bruno Fernando is Doubtful Against Celtics

Atlanta Hawks center Bruno Fernando (calf) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics.

D'Angelo Russell Might Play on Monday

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (quadriceps) is listed as a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was hit in the right quad during Saturday's game, so we'll see if he plays here. Alec Burks, Jordan Poole and Damion Lee will be asked to step up if Russell is out. Burks is […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 16

The waiver wire is where leagues are won and lost. The draft is long past and now your rosters feel completely different if you are even moderately active.

Jackson has been a low-end fantasy option […]

Falcons Won't Retain Vic Beasley

The Atlanta Falcons announced that they will not try to re-sign impending free-agent outside linebacker Vic Beasley. He was the eighth overall pick in the 2015 draft and led the league in sacks with 15.5 in 2016. However, he fell off drastically after that with just five sacks in both 2017 and 2018. Beasley finished […]

Trae Young is Probable for Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. He's dealing with a right ankle sprain, but it appears minor, so he should be good to go for this game. Jeff Teague would be asked to step up if Young is for some reason unable to play. […]

Twins Could Be Interested In Taijuan Walker

The Minnesota Twins could be interested in signing starting pitcher Taijuan Walker to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training.

De'Andre Hunter is Doubtful for Monday

Twins Add Jhoulys Chacin

The Minnesota Twins signed starting pitcher Jhoulys Chacin to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training on Sunday. Chacin was 3-12 with a rough 6.01 ERA with the Brewers and Red Sox in 2019, but the 32-year-old has been in the league for 11 years and should provide a nice veteran presence […]

Mookie Betts Expected To Be Traded

Trade talks involving Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts continue to progress, and it's now expected that he's traded either Monday or Tuesday. There seems to be good momentum for the Dodgers landing the superstar outfielder, but the Padres are still in the mix and were still talking to Boston as of Sunday. If he […]

Derrick Rose is Ruled Out for Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Browns Hiring Joe Woods As Defensive Coordinator

The Cleveland Browns will be hiring San Francisco 49ers defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Joe Woods as their next defensive coordinator on Monday, according to a league source. Woods and new Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski worked together with the Vikings. Pass rusher Myles Garrett is expected to be reinstated from his indefinite […]

Austin Rivers Doesn't Practice on Monday

Chris Jones Wants To Stick Around For The Long Haul

Tom Brady Not Demanding Over $30 Million

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who will be a free agent in March, isn't believed to be demanding $30 million or more a season, according to a source. Seeing Brady return to the only organization he's known wouldn't be surprising, but it remains to be seen if there's mutual interest from both sides. The […]

Dario Saric Won't Play Against Nets

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Saric hasn't been a big part of the rotation lately, so he won't be worth owning in most formats. Mikal Bridges is likely going to benefit the most from the loss of Saric. Bridges is worth adding in […]

49ers Defense Can't Contain Chiefs In Fourth Quarter

The San Francisco 49ers Defense collapsed in the fourth quarter as the Niners suffered a brutal 20-31 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

George Kittle Commits Critical Penalty

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught four of seven targets for 36 yards in the Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Kittle was solid all-around once again as a cog in the running game but his longest grab went for just 12 yards. His most critical play will go down as […]

Deebo Samuel Shines In Spotlight

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel netted five of nine targets for 39 yards and added three rushes for 53 yards in the Super Bowl loss against the Kansas City Chiefs. The electric Samuel was the best offensive player for the Niners and was heavily featured throughout the game. The 2019 second-round draft pick […]

Emmanuel Sanders Misses Chance To Play Hero

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders caught three of five targets for 38 yards in the Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Sanders made his typical occasional chain-moving impact throughout the game, but nearly missed playing the hero. With the game on the line in the closing minutes, Sanders had the Chiefs […]

Kendrick Bourne Leads Niners Receivers

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne captured two of four targets for 42 yards in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.
