Larry Nance Jr. is Questionable on Friday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He's missed four straight games, but he is targeting a return for this weekend. Kevin Love (hand) is back and is playing fantastic, so the Cavs do not need to rush Nance back on the court. He […]
Bo Horvat Scores Goal No. 20 On Thursday
Vancouver Canucks center Bo Horvat is a 20-goal scorer for a second consecutive season, having reached the milestone in Thursday's 5-2 win over Chicago. Horvat's production has nosedived since Brock Boeser (back) was ruled out for the season, but he's shown some life lately, getting two goals in three games. He also had an assist […]
Jason Castro Scratched Friday
The Minnesota Twins scratched starting catcher Jason Castro from Friday's lineup. The team has not yet offered a reason for why they scratched the veteran backstop. Backup catcher Mitch Garver took Castro's place behind the plate and would presumably assume most of the playing time if this is a multi-day issue for Castro. Castro missed […]
Henrik Sedin Scores a Rare Goal In Blowout Win
Vancouver Canucks center Henrik Sedin netted a rare goal on Thursday against Chicago, putting the puck into the net for only the third time this season. He went 55 games without one before scoring near the end of the first period to make it 2-1. He also picked up an assist in a big 5-2 […]
Anze Kopitar Records First Four-Goal Game
Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar was unstoppable for Colorado on Thursday night, as he recorded the first four-goal game of his career. He got two already in the opening period -- one on the power play -- and bagged one each in the second and third. He's the first Kings players since Nov. 1993 […]
Orioles Option Andrew Susac to Minors
Baltimore Orioles catcher Andrew Susac was optioned to the Minors, which gives Chance Sisco the backup catching job behind Caleb Joseph. While none of these are totally palatable, the state of catching dictates that you should at least monitor Sisco to consider picking him up in a two-catcher league.
Anders Lee Scores Two Goals In High-Scoring Loss To Lightning
New York Islanders center Anders Lee tried to shoot his team back into Thursday's game, scoring two goals. Alas, it was not meant to be, as New York fell to Tampa Bay, 7-6. Lee now has 38 goals on the season, a very good number for those who have him on their team. The team […]

The 14 boards are his highest since March 3, when he had a 17-rebound performance against Boston. His failure to […]
Anthony Cirelli Continues Hot Start To Career

Filip Chlapik Scores First NHL Goal
Ottawa Senators forward Filip Chlapik scored his first NHL goal against the Edmonton Oilers in the 6-2 loss. 20-year-old Chlapik, who was the 48th pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, has worked his way up in the organization to rank himself high amongst the copious amount of prospects that the Senators have at the center […]
Curt Casali Signs With Tampa Bay
The Tampa Bay Rays have signed catcher Curt Casali to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training. He is a possibility for being part of the backup plan if Wilson Ramos gets hurt again. Casali is a one-category player as he does have a little bit of power. Casali only had nine […]
Dwight Powell Has A Rough Night Against Utah
Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell has looked solid for Dallas over the past couple of months, but he wasn't able to do much on Thursday against the Jazz and center Rudy Gobert. Powell played just 19 minutes and went 1-for-5 from the field, finishing with five points and three rebounds. Aside from a nine minute […]
Anthony Davis Leads Pelicans to Third Win in Three Nights
New Orleans Pelicans power forward Anthony Davis put up another all around gem on Thursday, scoring 33 points in 36 minutes, shooting 12-for-20 in that span.

Brook Lopez Stays Hot for 23 Points
Los Angeles Lakers center Brook Lopez continued on his upward trajectory on Thursday, scoring 23 points on the night, knocking down one three-pointer in the loss, shooting a hot 9-for-12 from the field through four quarters. Lopez didn't come up with any blocks against the Pelicans, but did add six rebounds, one assist and two […]
Connor McDavid Dominates The Senators
Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid continued his chase for a second consecutive Art Ross Trophy win with a four-point game on Thursday against the Senators. He scored the second and final goal in a 6-2 win, adding a couple of assists in the third period. McDavid is currently playing like a man possessed, as he's […]

Willy Hernangomez Records Double-Double In Win
Charlotte Hornets center Willy Hernangomez moved into the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies and did not disappoint. Hernangomez ended with 10 points, 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in the Hornets 61-point win. Dwight Howard should be back from his suspension next game, pushing Hernangomez back to the bench. The Hornets […]
Nikola Vucevic Plays Poorly In Blowout Loss
Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic was dominated by Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Vucevic shot just 3-for-11 to finish with seven points and four rebounds in 23 minutes while Embiid went for 17 points and nine rebounds. The Magic had all five starters with a +/- rating of -16 or worse, so […]
Joel Embiid Effective In Just 20 Minutes
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid was not needed for much of Thursday night's win over the Orlando Magic. Embiid only saw 20 minutes of playing time, but finished with 17 points on 6-for-11 shooting and nine rebounds. The Sixers put a beat down on the Magic on the second night of a back-to-back, which allowed […]

Zach Randolph Ruled Out Thursday
Sacramento Kings forward/center Zach Randolph (illness) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He was listed as questionable earlier in the day, but he's officially been ruled out for this contest. Skal Labissiere, Kosta Koufas and Willie Cauley-Stein will split up his minutes. Randolph is not worth owning in most leagues […]
Dwight Howard Ruled Out for Thursday
Charlotte Hornets center Dwight Howard (suspension) will not play against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday. Howard grabbed a career-high 30 rebounds on Wednesday, while scoring 32 points in the victory over the Nets. He also committed his 16th technical foul of the season which means he'll face a mandatory one-game suspension. Willy Hernangomez and Frank […]
Marc Gasol Will Rest Against Hornets
Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol (rest) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Both Gasol and Chandler Parsons (rest) will be sidelined for this contest. This was not a surprising move since Memphis usually rests their veterans during back-to-back sets. He's a solid fantasy option most nights, but Memphis may decide […]
Auston Matthews Will Play Versus Nashville
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews will return to action Thursday night against the Nashville Predators. Matthews has been out since February 22nd with a separated shoulder, but has been practicing with the Leafs all week. Toronto has gone 5-5 without the young star, and will be glad to have him back on their top […]
LaMarcus Aldridge Leads Spurs To Fifth Straight Win
San Antonio Spurs forward LaMarcus Aldridge led his team past the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. Aldridge played 31 minutes, scoring 27 points. He also pulled down nine rebounds and swatted two shots to finish out his solid fantasy outing. The veteran has been an essential part of the team all season and has served an […]
Cristiano Felicio Leads Bulls In Scoring
Chicago Bulls center Cristiano Felicio scored 16 points on 7-for-9 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Nuggets. He also grabbed five rebounds. While the Bulls are a mess this year for fantasy purposes, Felicio has three games in a row with double-digit points and could be a cheap daily option against the Bucks, who are […]
Nikola Jokic Has Strong Night From The Field
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic didn't record a double-double on Wednesday, but he did make nine of his 11 field goal attempts in Denver's dominant win over the Chicago Bulls. Jokic ended up with 21 points, seven rebounds, and five assists. Jokic had 29 points when he played the Wizards at the beginning of the […]
