Serge Ibaka, Patrick Beverley To Miss Another Game Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Serge Ibaka (back) and guard Patrick Beverley (knee) will be out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs. Neither player will travel with the team for the back-to-back on Wednesday and Thursday, meaning that their next chance to play comes on Saturday. Beverley's absence has led to Reggie Jackson starting, though his […]

Lonzo Ball Out Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (hip) is out for Tuesday's matchup with the Lakers. Ball missed Sunday's game with the hip flexor issue, allowing Nickeil Alexander-Walker to enter the starting lineup. Alexander-Walker made the most of his opportunity, scoring 20 points with a full complement of statistics. He'll make for another savvy DFS play […]

Rudy Gay Questionable For Wednesday, Lonnie Walker IV Ruled Out

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers. Guard Lonnie Walker IV (wrist) has been ruled out. This is a new injury for Gay, who was able to play 25 minutes in Monday's game, so he should genuinely be considered up-in-the-air for Wednesday. Walker played just nine minutes […]

Elfrid Payton Available To Play Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton (hamstring) will be on the court for Tuesday's game against the Wizards. Payton returns after a five-game absence with a hamstring injury- and he'll be in the starting lineup, which will shift Immanuel Quickley (ankle)- who is also available to play- back to the second unit. It's unclear how […]

James Wiseman, Eric Paschall Cleared To Play

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (health and safety protocols) and forward Eric Paschall (health and safety protocols) have been cleared to play on Tuesday against the 76ers.

Alex Kirilloff Optioned To Alternate Camp

Minnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff has been optioned to the team's alternate training site, per manager Rocco Baldelli. Kirilloff was believed to be the favorite for the starting left field job, though he didn't make the decision too difficult with his rough spring, as he hit just .129 with eight strikeouts compared to one walk […]

Malik Beasley Could Return Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Malik Beasley is eligible to return on Saturday against the Rockets. Beasley hasn't played in a month due to a suspension, though head coach Chris Finch said that he's been taking part in team activities and is "getting great work in." Finch also said that Beasley would be ready to go for Saturday's […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Questionable Against Hornets On Wednesday

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. (quad) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets. Porter was unable to play Monday with a sore right quad- and his status is up in the air for the contest against Charlotte. If he's unable to suit up, it could mean another spot start for forward […]

Sekou Doumbouya Dealing With Minor Thumb Injury

Detroit Pistons forward Sekou Doumbouya (thumb) is dealing with a minor thumb injury. It doesn't sound too serious, given that Doumbouya participated in Tuesday's practice for the Pistons. Still, it's something to monitor, as head coach Dwane Casey said the ailment forced him to keep the 20-year-old off the court during Sunday's game. Doumbouya has […]

Danilo Gallinari Has Bruised Left Knee

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) suffered a left knee contusion in Monday's loss to the Clippers. Gallinari was ruled out for the fourth quarter after suffering the bruised knee, finishing his day with six points on just 2-for-9 shooting.

James Wiseman, Eric Paschall Probable For Tuesday

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman and forward Eric Paschall are probable to play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers. Both players have missed each of the last three games due to the league's health and safety protocols, though they seem like good bets to make their returns against Philadelphia. Wiseman had scored in double figures in […]

Jorge Soler Finding Power Stroke This Spring

Kansas City Royals outfielder Jorge Soler has found his power stroke this spring. Soler is batting just .233 in 16 games, though seven of his 10 hits have gone for extra bases, including four long-balls. He does have an alarming 15 strikeouts to just three walks, though the return of his power is a great […]

Gleyber Torres Poised For Rebound Year

New York Yankees shortstop Gleyber Torres is poised for a bounce-back season for the Bronx Bombers in 2021. Torres was out-of-shape and out of sorts at the plate during the shortened season last year, as his .724 OPS was uncharacteristically low. A dramatic decrease in barrel rate- 3.7 percent compared to 9.0 percent for his […]

Ramon Laureano Back In Action Monday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Ramon Laureano (side) is back in the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies. Laureano was scratched from Wednesday's game last week after feeling some pain in his side.

Josh Hader To Serve As Traditional Closer In 2021

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader will serve as a traditional closer for his team during the 2021 season, per manager Craig Counsell. Hader will be locked into the ninth-inning- with Devin Williams in front of him- a role that should be great news for his fantasy value. The 26-year-old has compiled 50 saves with […]

Kyle Hendricks Announced As Opening Day Starter

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks has been announced as the team's Opening Day starter on April 1 against the Pirates. This isn't particularly surprising, given that Hendricks got the nod last year along with the fact that he is the Cubs' top guy now with Yu Darvish in San Diego. The 31-year-old right-hander pitched […]

Kyle Tucker Collects Three Hits On Monday

Houston Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's 5-4 win over the Mets.

The 24-year-old also sports an impressive six walks compared to three strikeouts in […]

Los Angeles Clippers guard Luke Kennard matched his season-high with 20 points against the Hawks on Monday night.

Kawhi Leonard Has Efficient Offensive Performance Monday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard scored 25 points with seven boards, five assists, three triples, two blocks, and a steal in Monday's win over Atlanta.

Marcus Semien Homers In Second Straight Game

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman/shortstop Marcus Semien went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, and two RBI in Monday's win over the Tigers.

Richaun Holmes Posts Huge Line With Just One Missed Shot

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes bounced back in a big way from a quiet game in his last outing. Holmes scored 17 points with 16 rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and a steal in 35 minutes of a win over the Cavaliers. Amazingly, the 27-year-old committed just one turnover and made 8 of his 9 […]

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton scored a career-high 28 points in Monday's 119-105 win over Cleveland. Haliburton added four triples, two assists, one rebound, one block, and a steal in 36 minutes of action. The rookie seems to be past his minutes' restriction- he's logged at least 34 minutes in two of his last three […]

De'Aaron Fox Bounces Back With Strong Performance

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox struggled in his last outing but put that in the rearview mirror after Monday's performance. Fox dropped 30 points with six rebounds, six assists, two steals, and a triple in a 119-105 win over the Cavaliers. He shot just 1 of 5 from the three-point line, as his struggles from […]

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo was much sharper in his third start of the spring on Monday against the Diamondbacks.

Josh Hader Sharp On Monday Against Cleveland

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Josh Hader looked sharp on Monday against the Indians. Hader pitched a scoreless inning, striking out a pair of batters while allowing just one hit.

Taylor Rogers Fans Two In Scoreless Inning Monday

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Taylor Rogers pitched a scoreless inning against the Braves on Monday, allowing no hits or walks while striking out two batters.

Michael Brantley Rips Two-Run Double In Win Over Mets

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and two strikeouts in a 5-4 victory over the Mets. Brantley is still hitting just .235 this spring, though he has started to pick things up as of late, with three hits, four RBI, and a pair of runs scored in his last […]
