Ben McLemore Comes Off Bench And Scores 17 Points

Houston Rockets guard Ben McLemore came off the bench and contributed 17 points and three rebounds in 29 minutes of play during the 123-112 win over the Knicks. He also shot 4-for-9 from deep. The 27-year-old shined off the bench with Russell Westbrook (thumb) sidelined. The problem is that this type of effort is not […]

Sean Manaea Rocked In Spring Debut

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea was hit hard in his spring debut on Monday, getting pulled in the second inning against the Brewers. Manaea cruised through a 12-pitch first inning before allowing three straight doubles and a two-run homer before getting lifted in the second inning. There's not much that can be taken from […]

Bradley Beal Drops 55 Points Against Milwaukee

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal put up 55 points in an overtime loss to Milwaukee, shooting 19 of 33 from the field and eight of 13 from beyond the arc in 41 minutes.

RJ Barrett Leads Team With 21 Points

New York Knicks guard RJ Barrett supplied 21 points, six rebounds, three assists and one steal through 34 minutes of play in the 123-112 loss to the Rockets on Monday. The rookie has been picking up his play in the last four games, scoring at least 16 points in all those contests. Though there are […]

Jarrett Allen Finishes Perfect From Field Amid Double-Double

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen sank all eight field goals that he attempted during Monday’s defeat to the Orlando Magic, collecting back-to-back double-doubles for the first time in over a month. Despite a de facto timeshare at the center slot with DeAndre Jordan (Allen logged 26 minutes, Jordan played 22), Allen was able to compile […]

Bam Adebayo Flirts With Triple-Double In Loss

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo nearly notched what would have been his fourth triple-double in an overtime loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Adebayo filled up the box score with 22 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists, four blocks, and three steals in 41 minutes. The Skills Challenge champ has raced out of the starting blocks in […]

Khris Davis Good To Go Tuesday

Oakland Athletics designated hitter Khris Davis (calf) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's spring training game versus the Padres. Davis was dealing with a minor calf issue, but the team was never too worried about it. Clearly, they were right, as Davis will begin spring training looking to put a disappointing 2019 behind him. […]

Eric Bledsoe Drops A Double-Double Against Washington

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Eric Bledsoe finished an overtime victory over Washington on Monday with 23 points on seven of 11 shooting to go with 10 assists, seven rebounds and four three-pointers in 33 minutes.

Milwaukee Bucks wing Khris Middleton scored a team-high 40 points in an overtime win over Washington on Monday to go along with five rebounds, five assists, three steals and two three-pointers in 40 minutes of action.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Posts A Double-Double In Limited Minutes

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo had 22 points and 14 rebounds in just 24 minutes of action against the Wizards on Monday. Coming off consecutive 30-point outings, the overtime win over Washington fell a bit flat for the Greek Freak, who tied a season high with eight turnovers along with the third-fewest assists he's had […]

Gerrit Cole Impresses In Spring Debut

New York Yankees starter Gerrit Cole pitched one scoreless inning with two strikeouts and a walk in his spring training debut on Monday. Cole picked up right where he left off after last season when he led all of the major leagues with 326 strikeouts and a 1.85 ERA+. Impressively, Cole also managed to lead […]

Jordan Montgomery Throws Two Scoreless Innings

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery pitched well in his first spring action, tossing two shutout innings with three strikeouts and a walk. Montgomery has missed nearly all of the past two seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but the 27-year-old is coming off of an impressive 2017 rookie season in which he […]

Sam Haggerty Picks Up Two RBI On Monday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Sam Haggerty went 2-for-2 with two RBI during Monday's Cactus League loss to the Cubs. The 25-year-old, who was claimed off of waivers in January, has been perfect this spring by collecting a hit in each of his four plate appearances. Haggerty may not begin the year on the team's 26-man […]

Marco Gonzales Gets Slaughtered Against Cubs

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Marco Gonzales made his spring debut against the Chicago Cubs but failed to impress. The 28-year-old, who is slated to be on the hill on Opening Day, lasted less than an inning, giving up five runs, three hits, and walking two. He also added a strikeout. Gonzales finished the 2019 season […]

Ken Giles Works Perfect Inning In Spring Debut

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Ken Giles worked a quick one-two-three inning in the team's Grapefruit League contest versus the Braves on Monday. He recorded one strikeout in the stress-free frame for his first spring tune-up this year. Giles is locked in as the closer for the Jays this season after an impressive 2019 campaign that […]

Pierce Johnson Could Work Way Into Holds Mix

San Diego Padres reliever Pierce Johnson has an opportunity to be a key bullpen piece in 2020. After a bumpy start to his career in the majors, Johnson rediscovered his groove last season in Japan with a 1.38 ERA and 41 percent strikeout rate. Despite a crowded bullpen, Johnson’s roster spot is secure after earning […]

MacKenzie Gore And Luis Patino Will Be Slow Played

San Diego Padres rookie pitching prospects MacKenzie Gore and Luis Patino will be brought along slowly in spring training, per manager Jayce Tingler. With game action commencing, Tingler indicated it’ll be at least a week before either take the mound. Despite being baseball’s No. 5 and 27 prospects, respectively, Gore and Patino barely scratched Double-A […]

Manny Machado Rounds Bases In First At-Bat

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado cracked a two-run homer Monday against the Kansas City Royals in his first spring training at-bat. He finished the day 1-for-3. Machado, one of the biggest free-agent acquisitions in 2019, was a relative disappointment last year with a modest 108 wRC+. Without distractions this offseason, the 27-year-old has […]

Paul George Might Play Versus Memphis

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He was able to get through a light practice on Friday, so that's a good sign going forward. Landry Shamet and Marcus Morris would lose some value if George is able to get back on the court. […]

Patrick Beverley is Questionable Versus Grizzlies

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Beverley has been sidelined since Feb. 5 due to right groin soreness.

Jimmy Butler Isn't Traveling for Monday's Game

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (personal) isn't traveling with the team and has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

No Date Set For Aaron Judge To Return To Game Action

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (shoulder) hit off of a tee and did soft toss on Monday as he continues to deal with shoulder discomfort. The Yankees still haven't set a date for Judge to play in a game, but the team continues to indicate that Judge's shoulder is a minor issue. Fantasy owners […]

Tobias Harris is Upgraded to Questionable

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as doubtful after he bruised his right knee during Saturday's game. He was able to finish the game, so that's a good sign going forward. Harris is likely going to test out his knee […]

Davis Bertans is Questionable for Monday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It appears to be right knee soreness, so the Wizards might decide to take the cautious approach and have Bertans sit out. Rui Hachimura and Troy Brown would likely benefit the most if Bertans is unable to play. […]

Thomas Bryant is Resting on Monday

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (rest) will sit out of Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Wizards are going to play it safe and have Bryant rest. Ian Mahinmi and Moritz Wagner should see increased playing time without Bryant available. Wagner is the better fantasy […]

Frank Ntilikina is Ruled Out for Monday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He is dealing with groin soreness and the Knicks aren't going to let him out there when he's not 100 percent. Elfrid Payton (ankle) remains questionable for this contest, so Dennis Smith Jr. could be in line […]
