Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan did his thing in the team's win over the Magic on Saturday.

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic had a rough night despite walking away with a double-double in the loss to the Clippers.

Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin (49 percent owned) went without a point again in the 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Patrice Bergeron Doesn’t Travel With Bruins On Road Trip

Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron (foot) did not travel with the Boston Bruins on Saturday and will likely not participate in any of the four games on the Bruins road trip during this upcoming week.

Jonathan Lucroy's Contract Worth $6.5 Million

Updating a previous report on the signing, free-agent catcher Jonathan Lucroy's contract with the Oakland Athletics is for $6.5 million for one year, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. There does not seem to be any incentives at all in that deal. At 31 years old, Lucroy is hoping for a more […]

Cody Zeller is Out on Saturday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Cody Zeller (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was listed as doubtful earlier in the day, but head coach Steve Clifford ruled him out in his pregame presser. Willy Hernangomez is expected to see additional minutes off the bench.

Realmuto is hopeful […]

Jean-Gabriel Pageau Making the Most of Increased Role

Ottawa Senators center Jean-Gabriel Pageau has moved onto the second line in Ottawa after the departure of Derick Brassard and has responded with three goals in his last five games.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (3/10/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Five total games tonight, but FanDuel's main slate is only covering four. At first thought the Hornets-Suns game seems like an easy game to gloss over but there is a ton value to be found. First off, the upside-riddled Devin Booker should have minimal pressure on him tonight. His toughest competition would be Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, […]

Clint Capela Records Double-Double Against Raptors

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela put up a strong statistical game on Friday night as the Rockets lost to the Raptors in Toronto.

Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf scored his 10th goal of the season in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Stars to extend his point streak to five games.

Sam Bennett Has Goals In Consecutive Outings

Calgary Flames forward Sam Bennett scored in a second consecutive game on Friday, opening the scoring in a 2-1 win over Ottawa.

Brook Lopez Scores 29 Points In Narrow Loss To Nuggets

Los Angeles Lakers center Brook Lopez scored 29 points to go along with five rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in a loss to the Denver Nuggets. Lopez has scored a total of 56 points over his past two games, and it doesn't appear as if head coach Luke Walton will bench him, as he […]

Jarell Martin Returns With Good Outing

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jarell Martin (knee) returned to the lineup on Friday after missing two games, and he had a good performance against the Utah Jazz, logging 30 minutes off the bench while getting 13 points and five rebounds.

Marc Gasol Provides All-Around Performance On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol had just seven shot attempts and finished with only nine points in Friday's loss to Utah but still provided a nice line for fantasy owners, grabbing 11 boards, providing six assists, blocking four shots and picking up one steal in 32 minutes.
