Seth Curry Leads Second Unit With 16 Points During Loss

Dallas Mavericks point/shooting guard Seth Curry moved back to the bench for Friday’s defeat to the Houston Rockets, a lineup shuffle forced by Luka Doncic’s absence.

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond feasted on a Toronto Raptors interior that was sans center Marc Gasol for Friday’s contest, racking up 20 points and 20 rebounds across his 35 minutes.

Mets Not Discussing Trades For Dominic Smith

The New York Mets currently don't have any active trade talks involving first baseman/outfielder Dominic Smith, according to sources.

They also have All-Star Peter Alonso entrenched as the everyday starter at the position. […]

Delanie Walker Could Be Salary Cap Casualty

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker could be a salary cap casualty this offseason. Walker, who will be 36 in 2020, has played in just eight games the last two seasons due to injuries for Tennessee and has just 25 receptions for 267 yards and two touchdowns in that span, could be nearing the end […]

Greg Olsen Will Consider Redskins

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen, who agreed to part ways with the Panthers, would consider signing with the Washington Redskins and reuniting with head coach Ron Rivera, according to a person familiar with the situation. The soon-to-be 35-year-old needs to consider if he'll continue playing, and he'll have broadcasting opportunities to fall back on […]

Browns Moving Forward With Odell Beckham Jr.

The Cleveland Browns want to move forward with Odell Beckham Jr. (abdomen), but how present he is during organized activities and the offseason program might go a long way in determining that. He had core surgery after the season ended, so it remains to be seen how much he'll take part in spring practices. Trade […]

Brandon Clarke Will Miss Friday Night Against Pelicans

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (hip) will not play Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Clarke was going to have a much bigger workload with Jaren Jackson Jr. (suspension) serving his one-game suspension, but will not be able to suit up. Jonas Valanciunas has huge upside here while Jae Crowder and Kyle Anderson will see […]

Melky Cabrera Wants To Play Another Couple Years

Free-agent outfielder Melky Cabrera is interested in playing for another couple of years. Cabrera played in 133 games for the Pirates last season and was productive, hitting .280/.313/.399 with seven home runs and 47 RBI in 378 at-bats.

Donte DiVincenzo is Questionable Against Nuggets

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte Divincenzo (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. DiVincenzo has picked up his play lately and is worth owning in most standard leagues. The Bucks would likely use a committee approach to fill the void if DiVincenzo is unable to play. Wesley Matthews, Kyle Korver, and […]

Carmelo Anthony Won't Play on Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Anthony is grieving the loss of his friend and basketball legend Kobe Bryant. It's unclear whether or not Anthony will suit up for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. Trevor Ariza and Nassir Little will be […]

Kemba Walker Might Not Play Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. It's the same knee that Walker had surgeries on in the past.

Travis Kelce, Chris Jones Ready For Super Bowl

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (knee) and defensive tackle Chris Jones (calf) were full participants in practice for the third straight day on Friday and are not on the final injury report for the Super Bowl against the 49ers on Sunday.

Rui Hachimura Might Be Able to Play Saturday

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (groin) was able to practice on Friday and could return for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He's been sidelined since late December, but has been increasing his activities in practice lately. Hachimura wasn't playing fantastic before the injury, but he's worth looking at in standard leagues. It's unclear whether […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo is Fine for Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is fine for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He didn't play in Tuesday's game due to a shoulder issue, but is reportedly good to go for this one. Ersan Ilyasova will head back to the bench and lose most of his streaming appeal with Antetokounmpo back in the […]

Luka Doncic Could Be Sidelined Two Weeks

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) could be sidelined two weeks or more. He suffered a right ankle sprain during Thursday's practice. It's reportedly similar to the one he suffered earlier in the season. There's a good chance that fantasy owners won't have Doncic back until after the All-Star break. Jalen Brunson, Seth Curry, and […]

Marc Gasol is Ruled Out for Friday

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This marks the second game in a row that Gasol has missed due to left hamstring tightness. Serge Ibaka started on Thursday and dropped 26 points, so he's worth using as a fantasy option while Gasol is sidelined. […]

Brandon Clarke is Doubtful for Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (hip) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He is dealing with right hip soreness and Clarke missed some action in December due to the same issue.
