Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (toe) has ditched the walking boot and will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days. He will miss a ninth consecutive game on Friday versus the Grizzlies, but it looks like Okongwu could be good to go this time next week. Bruno Fernando has stepped into Okongwu's role as the backup center […]

Maxi Kleber Available On Thursday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) has been upgraded in his status and is available to play on Thursday against Miami. Kleber's availability gives Dallas an extra body to combat the Heat's star center Bam Adebayo. Offensively, he's not expected to have a major role, especially considering his recent awful form. Kleber hasn't hit a […]

Marvin Bagley III Won't Play On Friday

Washington Wizards center Marvin Bagley III (back) remains out for Friday's game against the Hornets. The 2018 No. 2 overall pick exited Monday's matchup with the Utah Jazz because of back spasms and was ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. Barring a significant setback, Bagley should be back soon. But until […]

Tyler Stephenson Showing Power Early In Spring

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson has shown off some pop so far in Cactus League action, even if he hasn't been fantastic overall. The 27-year-old is just 3-for-18 (.167) in seven spring outings so far but two of those three knocks have gone for home runs. He has driven in six runs in the process […]

Sean Murphy To Return To Action Friday

Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy is set to return to action on Friday after dealing with a stomach bug over the last few days.

Bo Naylor - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Sleepers (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 216 CURRENT ADP: ~238 ANALYSIS: Bo Naylor is often the No. 14 catcher off of the board and therefore is largely undrafted in most single-catcher, 12-team formats (the most popular).

Victor Wembanyama Won't Face The Kings

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) is on the injury report as probable ahead of Thursday's clash with Miami. He missed one game last week, but Kleber has been fairly durable since returning from a toe injury in mid-January, and it looks like he will be good to go against the Heat. Kleber has been […]

Paul Reed Back In Starting Five Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Paul Reed will return to the starting five on Wednesday versus Memphis.
