Rams D/ST Looks To Continue Carrying The Team

The Rams defense/special teams put on an impressive show last week against the Vikings, and they'll need to show up again on Sunday in their road game against the Eagles. On Monday, the Rams dropped Sam Darnold nine times for sacks, forced two turnovers and even scored a defensive touchdown while holding the vaunted Vikings' […]

Cooper Kupp Can't Keep Quiet

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has struggled down the stretch, but the Rams will need him to step up with a throwback game in Philadelphia if they want to knock off the Eagles. Last week against the Vikings, Kupp played only 55% of snaps and was only targeted one time. He converted that […]

Demarcus Robinson Set As Rams Third Receiver

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson played 72% of the team's snaps in their Wild Card Round win over the Vikings. He actually played more snaps than Cooper Kupp but only had two targets, one catch, and 23 receiving yards. The Rams passing game could struggle in the weather in Philadelphia, but Robinson is […]

Puka Nacua Continues To Be A Target Monster

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is the clear focus of the Rams' passing game and was targeted nine times on Monday Night Football when his Rams knocked off the Vikings 27-9. He has at least eight targets in each of his last nine games, and the only games this season in which he […]

Ronnie Rivers Lined Up To Be Rams Backup Running Back

Los Angeles Rams running back Ronnie Rivers stepped in as the primary backup for Kyren Williams last week in the Rams' first game of the playoffs. He replaced rookie Blake Corum (forearm) on the depth chart but had a similarly minimal workload. Rivers wasn't targeted and gained eight rushing yards on his three carries. He'll […]

Kyren Williams In Another Tough Matchup

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams faced the Vikings last week, who allowed the fewest rushing yards per game in the NFL this season, and this week, things don't get much better as he faces the Eagles, who gave up the second-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs. Williams did still deliver last […]

Matthew Stafford Leads The Rams To Philadelphia

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Rams took down the Vikings last week in the NFL Wild Card Round to earn a road matchup in the Divisional Round. Stafford completed 19 of his 27 pass attempts for 209 yards and two touchdowns, which was a big step forward for the veteran after not […]

Fred VanVleet Ruled Out Thursday Against Sacramento

Terance Mann Could Miss Thursday Night's Game Against Portland

Los Angeles Clippers guard Terance Mann (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's road matchup with the Trail Blazers. Mann only played eight minutes on Wednesday in the first half of the team's back-to-back, and his role has been fairly minimal lately. However, if he does play on Thursday, there should be more work […]

Kawhi Leonard Will Not Play Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) will not play on the second night of the Clippers' back-to-back when they visit the Trail Blazers on Thursday. On Wednesday, Leonard played 24 minutes and had 23 points and two rebounds in the franchise-record 59-point win over the Nets, but the star will get Thursday off for […]

Ochai Agbaji Uncertain For Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Ochai Agbaji (hand) had to leave Wednesday's game against the Celtics with a right hand laceration, and he could be forced to miss Friday's game against the Bucks. Agbaji has averaged 28.5 minutes per game in his 39 games this season, producing 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 0.8 steals per […]

Immanuel Quickley Listed As Out Friday Against Milwaukee

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (groin) will not play on Friday when the Raptors visit the Bucks. It will be Quickley's third straight game on the sidelines due to a groin strain.

Robert Williams III Questionable Thursday Night

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (illness) was originally listed as doubtful, but he has now been upgraded to questionable for Thursday night's matchup against the Clippers. Williams has missed three straight games due to illness, and even before that, he had been crowded out of the Blazers' rotation with Deandre Ayton and Donovan […]

Devin Carter Questionable Thursday Against Houston

Sacramento Kings guard Devin Carter (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the Kings' Thursday night home game against the Rockets. The rookie has been limited to just six games this season after he underwent left shoulder surgery in July. He has played 14.2 minutes per game in his six games while contributing 5.7 points, 4.2 […]

Jusuf Nurkic Out Thursday Against the Wizards

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (illness) is still not available for the Suns after testing positive for the flu. Nurkic had fallen out of the Suns rotation even before the illness, and his time with the team could be quickly coming to an end after the Suns acquired Nick Richards on Wednesday. Nurkic averaged 8.6 […]

Nick Richards Not Ready For Debut With The Suns

Phoenix Suns center Nick Richards is listed as out for the team's Thursday night matchup with the Wizards in Washington. He was acquired in a trade from the Hornets on Wednesday night but has not joined the team yet, according to the official NBA Injury Report. Richards' next chance to suit up for Phoenix will […]

Bradley Beal Ruled Out Against Washington

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (ankle) was downgraded to out after being initially listed as doubtful for Thursday night's matchup against the Wizards. Beal sustained his sprained ankle on Tuesday against the Hawks. Beal won't get a chance to face his old team on Thursday, but he has been playing pretty well since moving to […]

On Wednesday night, the NBA has a monster 11-game schedule set up, and the first nine of those games make on the main slate on DraftKings. With such a huge selection of games to pick from, there will be plenty of top plays and values to consider. The schedule is further complicated by the fact […]

Kyle Lowry Remains Sidelined

Philadelphia 76ers guard Kyle Lowry (hip) will miss his fifth straight game on Tuesday, and it also seems unlikely he'll be ready to turn around and play in the second game of the Sixers' back-to-back on Wednesday against the Knicks. On Friday, coach Nick Nurse said that Lowry had not yet reached the "day-to-day phase" […]

Caleb Martin May Miss Second Straight Game

Philadelphia 76ers forward Caleb Martin (groin) was listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Thunder. Martin missed Sunday's game with groin soreness as well, snapping a string of nine straight games in the starting lineup. With both Joel Embiid (foot) and Andre Drummond (toe) still out, the Sixers will be very short-handed in the […]

Andre Drummond Ruled Out Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) will miss a fifth straight game on Tuesday when the Sixers host the Thunder. Drummond's absence has been poorly timed for the team since Joel Embiid (foot) has also been sidelined. With both big men out again on Tuesday, Guerschon Yabusele will have to continue to do most of […]

Julian Strawther Probable Tuesday Against Dallas

Denver Nuggets guard Julian Strawther (knee) is expected to play through a right knee strain on Tuesday when the Nuggets visit the Mavericks to start a back-to-back. Strawther is averaging 21.8 minutes per game for the season, but he's been getting more run lately, playing over 25 minutes in five straight games and averaging 28.4 […]

Coby White Questionable Tuesday Against The Pelicans

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (neck) was listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans after he missed Sunday's five-point loss to the Kings. In White's absence, Lonzo Ball made his first start of the season and played 25 minutes, producing 15 points, three assists, a block, and a rebound. Ball's minutes are still […]

Ayo Dosunmu Could Return On Tuesday

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu (calf) seems to be on the verge of a return since he has been ramping up on-court activity and is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Pelicans. Dosunmu hasn't played since December 23, but he was very productive in the month before his calf injury. He averaged 14.4 […]

Jalen Johnson Ruled Out Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) will not be available when the Hawks host the Suns on Tuesday. The 23-year-old is in the midst of a breakout season, averaging 19.8 points and 10.1 rebounds per game, but he has missed four of the last five games for the Hawks, including each of their last three […]

Ty Jerome Unlikely To Play Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome (illness) was listed as doubtful for Tuesday's rematch against the Pacers, who beat the Cavs on Sunday, snapping Cleveland's 12-game winning streak. Jerome missed Sunday's game as well after averaging 17.5 minutes in his previous six games. In those six contests, Jerome produced 9.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and […]

Tyrese Haliburton Doubtful Tuesday Against The Cavaliers

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) only played 19 minutes in his team's win over the Cavs on Sunday night, and it looks unlikely that he'll be available Tuesday for the rematch in Indianapolis. After he departed, Andrew Nembhard stepped up with 19 points, four assists, and two steals in 29 minutes. T.J. McConnell had […]

Gary Payton II Hopeful To Play Wednesday Against Minnesota

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (calf) has not played since Christmas Day, missing nine straight games with a left-calf strain, but he could be nearing a return. According to The Athletic's Anthony Slater, Payton was able to scrimmage on Sunday and worked out again on Monday. Payton will not play Monday in Toronto, […]

Brandin Podziemski Working Towards Return

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (abdominal) does not have a clear timeline to return yet, but he's starting on his way back. According to coach Steve Kerr, Podziemski got "a run" in on Monday and felt fine. The 21-year-old has worked mostly off the bench for the Warriors this season, averaging 8.0 points, 4.5 […]
