Mets Expected To Have Interest In Yusei Kikuchi

Free-agent starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi is likely to have multiple suitors this offseason. However, it appears the New York Mets have strong interest in the veteran left-handed starter. In 29 starts, Kikuchi registered a 4.41 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 162/62 K/BB ratio over 157 innings with the Seattle Mariners in 2021. Those stats don't look […]

MLB Still Not Close To Deal

The second meeting between the MLB and the MLBPA didn't go well on Saturday. The players presented a "comprehensive offer" after the first meeting of the day. The MLB reacted badly to the offer, which in turn outraged and frustrated the MLBPA. The players moved the CBT by two million in years 2-4. Also, offered […]

Jakob Poeltl Won't Play Saturday

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Spurs will rest some of their starters. Zach Collins (foot) has been removed from the injury report and could play on Saturday. Collins could be a possible […]

Josh Richardson Tagged As Questionable For Saturday

San Antonio Spurs forward Josh Richardson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He made his team debut the last game before the All-Star break and played 14 minutes in that contest. However, Richardson could take on a heavier role with Keldon Johnson (back) already ruled out. Also, Joshua Primo […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Miss Saturday's Game

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has not made his team debut and it doesn't sound like he's going to anytime soon. Porzingis continues to be listed as day-to-day, but it's uncertain when he'll actually return. In the meantime, Daniel Gafford and Thomas […]

Tomas Satoransky Agrees To Buyout With Spurs

San Antonio Spurs guard Tomas Satoransky has agreed to a buyout with the organization. He was traded to San Antonio at the trade deadline, but doesn't have much of a role on the rebuilding Spurs roster. That being said, Satoransky is leaving San Antonio and is expected to sign with the Washington Wizards. His best […]

Fred Vanvleet Uncertain For Saturday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It's the same knee issue that kept him sidelined before the All-Star break. Although, Vanvleet returned on Friday, but looked at less than 100 percent during that contest. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Raptors rest Vanvleet […]

Dejounte Murray Won't Play Versus Heat

San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. It's the second game of the back-to-back set, so the Spurs are being cautious here. The All-Star guard will sit out alongside Keldon Johnson (back) and Jakob Poeltl (back) for Saturday's game. The absence of Murray and […]

Keldon Johnson Ruled Out On Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He'll join teammates Dejounte Murray (knee) and Jakob Poeltl (back) on the sideline for Saturday's contest. Devin Vassell and Lonnie Walker IV are looking like solid streaming options with the Spurs banged up. Both should see heavy […]

Goran Dragic Expected To Play Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Goran Dragic is likely to play during Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It appears things have changed and Dragic is ready to make his team debut. It's worth noting that Kyrie Irving is eligible to play in this game. He could also be able to play home games soon, which would hurt […]

John Collins Will Sit Out Versus Raptors

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This marks five games in a row that Collins has missed due to a right foot sprain. It doesn't sound like Collins is nearing a return, so fantasy managers should prepare to be without Collins for a few […]

Frank Jackson Unlikely To Play Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Frank Jackson (back) is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was unable to play on Thursday and it sounds like Jackson will miss at least one more game. Jackson won't have a huge role in Detroit when healthy, but could get more chances in the second […]

Kevin Durant Remains Out On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Head coach Steve Nash mentioned that Durant should return within the next three games. It sounds like Durant is closer to getting on the court than newly acquired guard Ben Simmons. Bruce Brown should continue to see an […]

Victor Oladipo Could Return In March

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (quad) has a chance of returning to the court in March. The organization is hopeful that Oladipo can get back on the court by the second week in March. He hasn't played since April of 2021, so the Heat are obviously going to be cautious with Oladipo. He is expected […]

Paul George Needs More Time

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (elbow) is unlikely to take the court anytime soon. The All-Star guard is feeling better after his MRI results, but still needs more time, according to head coach Ty Lue. The Clippers aren't committing to George returning this season, which is concerning. Fantasy managers without an IR spot available […]

Quentin Grimes Could Miss Time

New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes (knee) was unable to finish out Friday's game against the Miami Heat. The young guard suffered a right knee injury that could potentially cost him time. The Knicks don't have a timetable for Grimes and will keep him sidelined for this game. This is a shame because Grimes was […]

Carmelo Anthony Will Play Friday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Carmelo Anthony (hamstring) will return to the court for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has missed each of the last five games, but will return here. Anthony should see an increased role with Anthony Davis (foot) sidelined. It doesn't sound like the Lakers are planning on limiting Anthony […]

Cameron Payne, Aaron Holiday Out Friday

Phoenix Suns guards Cameron Payne (wrist) and Aaron Holiday (ankle) have been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Payne continues to sit out with a wrist injury, but Holiday's injury is new. He played fairly well during Thursday's game and was gaining fantasy value. Now, Elfrid Payton will likely be forced […]

R.J. Hampton Suffers Injury During Shootaround

Orlando Magic guard R.J. Hampton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. The young guard was set to return here after sitting out due to a sprained MCL. However, Hampton suffered a left ankle injury during Friday's morning shootaround. Fantasy managers might have to wait a little longer before getting […]

Darius Garland Could Miss More Time

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (back) will continue to rest and receive treatment, according to GM Mike Gansey. Garland is dealing with a bone bruise in his back, which will likely cause him to miss more games. He has been battling with his issue since before the All-Star break. The organization is hopeful Garland won't […]

OG Anunoby Listed As Out For Friday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (finger) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He is currently dealing with a broken finger on his shooting hand. That being said, this is likely going to be a multiple game absence for Anunoby. Precious Achiuwa, Chris Boucher, and Thaddeus Young should all see a […]

Luguentz Dort Ruled Out Versus Pacers

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This marks the fourth game in a row that Dort has missed due to a shoulder issue. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey will continue to see increased usage while Dort is sidelined. Also, Tre Mann has stepped […]

James Wiseman Joins G-League Affiliate

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) has joined the organization's G-League affiliate on Friday. This is one of the last steps Wiseman needs to take before rejoining the Warriors. It doesn't appear that Wiseman is far away from returning to Golden State. That being said, fantasy managers should consider scooping him up off the […]

Derrick Rose Remains Without A Timetable

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) will have a minor procedure and remains without a timetable to return. It's a shame because Rose seemed so close to getting back on the court. Now, the veteran guard is likely to miss at least a few more weeks. Alec Burks should remain the starting point guard, […]

Gary Payton II Will Start On Thursday

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (leg) will remain in the starting five for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was listed as a game-time decision coming into this contest, but it sounds like Payton is fine. Fantasy managers should expect Payton to have his normal role in the rotation. Otto Porter […]

Ja Morant Exits Early On Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He appears to have suffered a hamstring issue and is being stretched out on the bench. It's uncertain if he'll return to action, but the Grizzlies are likely to take the cautious approach here. Tyus Jones and […]

Richaun Holmes Will Sit Out On Thursday

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Holmes has lost a ton of value with Domantas Sabonis joining the Kings roster. In fact, Holmes only played 10 minutes in their last game before the All-Star break. That being said, there isn't a ton of minutes […]

Joshua Primo Listed As Questionable For Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard Joshua Primo (wrist) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. Primo is one of the many young guards on this roster that should have increased opportunities in the second half. However, his absence would mean more playing time for Lonnie Walker IV and Josh Richardson. Neither of […]

Derrick Rose Tagged As Doubtful For Friday

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Rose was able to practice on Thursday, so it sounds like the veteran guard is getting closer to a return. Despite that, it sounds like Rose is set to miss at least one more game. Alec Burks […]

RJ Barrett Uncertain For Friday

New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Head coach Tom Thibodeau mentioned last week that Barrett is expected to return after the All-Star break. The return of Barrett would mean Quentin Grimes heads back to the second unit. Grimes has been playing well recently, […]
