LeBron James Will Return on Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (groin) will return to the starting five for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He'll return to the lineup here after missing last game. Rajon Rondo will head back to the bench and see reduced minutes. Kyle Kuzma will see less minutes and reduced usage here. Fantasy owners and […]

Eric Gordon is Expected to Play on Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is expected to play in Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. The Rockets have been cautious with Gordon lately, but it sounds like he's actually ready to play now. Ben McLemore, Austin Rivers, and Danuel House would lose playing time if Gordon returns here. House would be the best […]

Draymond Green Could Sit Against Suns

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was added to the injury report on Saturday with left knee soreness. The Warriors have been cautious with injuries all season long, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out here. Eric Paschall would […]

Victor Oladipo is Listed as Questionable for Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He wasn't on the injury report earlier, but has now popped up with a left ankle sprain. Oladipo has been having trouble staying on the court this season, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out […]

Andrew Wiggins is Available Against Suns

Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Both Jordan Poole (ankle) and Ky Bowman (ankle) are sidelined, so Wiggins should get plenty of run here. He should be the main ball handler going forward until Stephen Curry (hand) gets back on the court. Fantasy owners can […]

Caris LeVert is Available for Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (hand) is available for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He was listed as questionable for this one with a right hand issue, but it appears he feels good enough to play in this one. He should see plenty of run against the Heat, so DFS players should take a […]

Marcus Semien Collects Two Hits Saturday

Oakland Athletics shortstop Marcus Semien went 2-for-3 with two RBI in a Spring Training game against the Indians Saturday. Semien is coming off a career-year where he slashed .285/.369/.522 and finished third in AL MVP voting. He scored 123 runs last season and should score plenty again this year batting leadoff for a stacked Oakland […]

Steven Matz With Solid Spring Outing

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz pitched two strong innings on Saturday against the Astros in Grapefruit League play. Matz struck out one and allowed just one hit over two innings pitched. Matz is currently in a competition with Michael Wacha for the Mets fifth rotation spot. Matz went 11-10 with a 4.21 ERA, […]

Jordan Montgomery Strikes Out Four Over Two Innings On Saturday

New York Yankees pitcher Jordan Montgomery threw two innings against the Red Sox on Saturday, allowing just one hit with four strikeouts. Montgomery has gotten his fastball velocity up to 95 mph this spring, a significant improvement from his max velocity of under 93 mph in 2018. Montgomery is a favorite to claim a job in the […]

Gleyber Torres Hits First Spring Training Home Run

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres launched his first spring training home run of 2020 with a three-run shot on Saturday. Torres followed up his strong rookie season with an impressive .278/.337/.535 slash line last year and should be an elite fantasy shortstop again in 2020. Torres improved his plate approach last season by holding his chase […]

Adam Ottavino Throws A Scoreless Inning In Spring Debut

New York Yankees reliever Adam Ottavino picked up the win against the Tigers on Saturday, tossing one inning with one walk and two strikeouts. Ottavino has been dominant over the past two seasons, with a 2.19 ERA and a 33.8% strikeout rate. Walks and stolen bases have been a problem for Ottavino, though. Over the past two […]

A seven-game slate means we have a bit more flexibility with lineup construction, but that also means our sleeper picks need to be spot-on. There are a ton of options tonight, and even though Ricky Rubio's price is a little steep, this seems like a trap game for value plays. Jevon Carter, and a few other […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 20 (Mar 2 - Mar 8)

Fantasy basketball season is in full swing. Most of us are either fighting for playoff berth/seeding, or are already in the playoffs and are in full win-now mode. These circumstances give streaming even more importance, as many players become expendable if they're not going to give us enough games next week. Their place can be […]

Aaron Judge Feels Discomfort While Hitting On Friday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (shoulder) reportedly felt discomfort near his pec when hitting on Friday. Judge underwent a number of tests that all came back negative, but the outfielder’s nagging shoulder discomfort explains why he still hasn’t hit outside. The Yankees continue to be optimistic that Judge will be ready for Opening Day, […]

Tuukka Rask Records Fourth Shutout

Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask recorded his fourth shutout of the season on Saturday, finishing a 4-0 win over the Islanders with 25 saves. He ended a brief two-game losing streak to improve his record for the year to 24-7-6. Rask hasn't lost more than two starts on the bounce since December. Charlie McAvoy had […]

Lauri Markkanen is Almost Ready to Return

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (pelvis) is close to being cleared to return to contact work, according to head coach Jim Boylen. He is currently five weeks into a four-to-six week timetable, so hopefully he'll get back on the court soon. Markkanen could be worth stashing in leagues with an open IR spot, but the […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Placed in Concussion Protocol

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (head) has been placed into concussion protocol and will miss at least two games. He has already been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls, but he's going to miss Monday's game as well. Elfrid Payton and Frank Ntilikina will split up the extra playing time […]

Tristan Thompson is Ruled Out for Saturday's Contest

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has started each of the last two games with Andre Drummond (calf) sidelined for those contests. Drummond is listed as probable here, so the Cavs will take the cautious approach and rest Thompson due to a left […]

Andre Drummond is Expected to Return Versus Pacers

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond (calf) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He has missed each of the last two games due to a left calf strain. It appears Drummond is feeling well enough to get back into the starting five here. Tristan Thompson (knee) has been ruled out, so […]

Zack Wheeler Gives Up Two Runs In Spring Debut

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler allowed two runs in two innings pitched in his first Spring Training start. After a clean first inning, Wheeler gave up a hit to Randal Grichuk before serving up a two-run homer to Danny Jansen. Wheeler signed a five-year contract with Philadelphia this offseason, and is expected to be […]

Caris LeVert is Questionable on Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (hand) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He is dealing with a right hand contusion, but he's been on fire lately, so losing him would really hurt the Nets rotation. Garrett Temple may slide into the starting five, but he wouldn't be worth using in […]

Antonio Senzatela Sharp In Spring Stint

Colorado Rockies pitcher Antonio Senzatela looked good on Friday night as he struck out four in three innings of work. Most impressive were his displays with his newly developed curveball, a pitch he's been trying to improve for years. After bursting onto the scene in 2017 with some promising numbers, the young righty has struggled […]

Luka Doncic is Questionable Versus Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Doncic was battling through the left thumb issue on Friday, so the Mavs might take the cautious approach and rest him here. Seth Curry, Delon Wright, and J.J. Barea would see increased roles if Doncic is unable to […]

Dom Nunez Blasts A Home Run On Friday Night

Colorado Rockies catcher prospect Dom Nunez hit a rocket out to right in Friday night action in Scottsdale, and there is no question that he can put a charge into a ball. He showed that during a brief stint in the majors last year when he knocked five extra-base hits in just 39 at-bats. Unfortunately, […]

Cameron Johnson is Questionable for Saturday

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (back, hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He fell on the court during Friday's game and suffered a left contusion along with a lower back issue. The X-rays came back negative, so it sounds like Johnson will be fine for this one. However, […]

Two Goals From Jason Zucker Not Enough Against Ducks

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jason Zucker provided all of Pittsburgh's offensive production Friday night, scoring the team's only two goals in a loss to the Ducks. The first of Zucker's two goals came on the power play, giving him his second power-play goal in his ninth game with Pittsburgh. Now with seven total points with Pittsburgh […]

Deandre Ayton Might Not Play on Saturday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Ayton has been reliable when he's on the court, but he's been hit with injuries and a 25-game suspension this season. Aron Baynes (rib) would likely get the start and have some streaming appeal if Ayton is […]

Trevor Story Hints At Stealing More In 2020

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story already has a few records in his pocket as he's the first shortstop in major league history to hit 20 or more homers in his first four seasons in the big leagues, but it sounds like he'll be looking to swipe more bags this season. Story mentioned to Thomas Harding […]
