Darius Garland Stays Aggressive, Scuffles From Field

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Darius Garland has seen his usage rate take a sharp uptick since after Christmas, and he followed through again during Thursday’s loss to the Washington Wizards. For owners who can look past his 4-for-17 shooting effort, Garland finished with 13 points and four assists across his team-high 38 minutes. He has […]

Michael Fulmer Throwing From 90 Feet

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer (elbow), who had Tommy John surgery last spring, has lost around 20 pounds and said he's throwing from 90 feet on flat ground. Fulmer will progress to 120 feet next week. The right-hander is making good progress, but he's unlikely to be an option for Detroit's rotation until the […]

J.A. Happ To Be Fifth Starter

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that starting pitcher J.A. Happ will be the team's fifth starter entering the 2020 season.

Padres Discussing Mookie Betts Trade

The San Diego Padres have discussed a trade centered around Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts, according to sources.

Betts has been mentioned as a […]

Travis Kelce Misses Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (knee) did not practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Mid-week downgrades aren't good, but we still have another full week before the Super Bowl on Feb. 2, so Kelce should be just fine to play in the big game against the 49ers. Wide receiver Demarcus Robinson […]

Steven Adams Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams has picked up a questionable designation for Friday’s contest versus the Atlanta Hawks due to an ankle sprain. Adams has missed two of the team’s previous four outings and another absence would pave the way for Nerlens Noel to remain among the starting five, making him a high upside […]

Patrick McCaw To Miss Friday’s Contest

Toronto Raptors point guard/small forward Patrick McCaw has been ruled out for Friday’s game against the New York Knicks due to a fractured nose that he sustained Wednesday versus Philadelphia. McCaw had been seeing considerable run as of late, even if it failed to translate into outings that were relevant from a fantasy perspective. His […]

Cameron Johnson To Miss Fourth Straight Game Friday

Phoenix Suns small/power forward Cameron Johnson has already been ruled out for Friday’s contest against the San Antonio Spurs due to a quad contusion. His absence will mark his fourth straight game out of the mix, as Mikal Bridges continues to pick up a pile of minutes, while head coach Monty Williams gets creative with […]

Marvin Bagley Unlikely To Take Floor Friday

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Marvin Bagley is not expected to return to action for Friday’s game against the Chicago Bulls due to foot soreness. With Richaun Holmes (shoulder) also expected to be out of the mix, Dewayne Dedmon is likely to continue seeing an increased role in the frontcourt. Bagley had appeared to have turned […]

Malcolm Brogdon To Miss Friday’s Contest

Indiana Pacers point/shooting guard Malcolm Brogdon has been ruled out for Friday’s game against the Golden State Warriors due to a concussion that he sustained Wednesday versus Phoenix. Brogdon’s absence will pave the way for Aaron Holiday and T.J. McConnell to see a larger workload, although who slides into the starting five may not necessarily […]

Anthony Davis Given Green Light To Suit Up Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis will be in action Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets after having previously picked up a questionable designation due to his persistent glute injury. With JaVale McGee (illness) having previously been ruled out, Davis is likely to see a somewhat increased workload on the glass, having feasted against the […]

Jimmy Butler, Kendrick Nunn, Goran Dragic Questionable Friday

A slew of Miami Heat backcourt members have their status for Friday’s contest against the Los Angeles Clippers up in the air. Jimmy Butler, Kendrick Nunn and Goran Dragic have all been hit with questionable tags, despite all three of the trio being on the floor for Wednesday’s win. Butler is dealing with right knee […]

Deandre Bembry Will Be Sidelined For Friday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard/small forward Deandre Bembry has been listed as out for Friday’s contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to personal reasons. The absence will mark the second game in a row that Atlanta will be without Bembry, with Cam Reddish and Kevin Huerter having seen slightly increased roles in his absence. Now […]

Patrick Beverley Questionable To Suit Up Friday

Los Angeles Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley has been deemed questionable to play in Friday’s game versus the Miami Heat due to a groin ailment that kept him out Wednesday. For those in search of positive news, he was upgraded from doubtful, which could mean there is optimism surrounding his chances of taking the floor. […]

Michael Porter Jr., Gary Harris Both Questionable For Friday

Neither small/power forward Michael Porter Jr. or shooting guard Gary Harris were able to take the floor for the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday, and now the pair have both picked up questionable designations ahead of Friday’s contest versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Porter, who has become a breakout fantasy revelation over his last five games, […]

JaVale McGee To Miss Thursday’s Game Due To Flu-Like Symptoms

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee has been ruled out for Thursday’s contest against the Brooklyn Nets due to an illness, likely paving the way for Dwight Howard to see an increased role in the frontcourt. McGee had started every game thus far in 2019-20 for Los Angeles, with his absence certainly to throw head […]

Paul George To Miss Eighth Straight Game Friday

Los Angeles Clippers small/power forward Paul George has been ruled out for Friday’s game versus the Miami Heat due to the hamstring strain that has been a thorn in his side for the better part of three weeks. George will miss his eighth contest in a row, leaving Kawhi Leonard with a significantly larger workload, […]

Jaylen Brown is Questionable for Friday's Game

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. He suffered a right ankle sprain on Monday and was unable to suit up for Wednesday's contest. He's traveling with the team and is expected to test out his ankle on Friday during shootaround. Marcus Smart would benefit […]

Enes Kanter is Ruled Out for Friday

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Kanter is dealing with a right hip contusion, but hopefully this won't sideline him for long. Vincent Poirier and Daniel Theis will be asked to split up the minutes at center without Kanter available. Theis is the better […]
