Wendell Carter Jr. Doubtful For Monday Night

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (foot) is doubtful for Monday's contest against the Phoenix Suns. The doubtful tag may suggest he's moving in the right direction. However, it appears the 25-year-old will miss his eighth-straight game on Monday night. If that's the case, Goga Bitadze will presumably remain with the first five, with the […]

Domantas Sabonis Likely To Miss Another Game

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (back) is expected to miss Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The 28-year-old played all 82 regular-season games in 2023-24. However, he's in line to miss his second-consecutive contest because of back tightness. With DeMar DeRozan (back) already ruled out, the Kings may need to rely on De'Aaron Fox, who […]

Zach Edey Suffers An Ankle Injury On Sunday Night

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (ankle) exited Sunday's win over the Denver Nuggets. With Nikola Jokic (personal) out, it was a perfect opportunity for Memphis to take advance. Unfortunately, the rookie lasted only 14 minutes in this one, exiting because of a sprained left ankle and would finish the contest with seven points, seven rebounds, […]

Kevon Looney Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The big man hasn't been a huge part of the rotation as he's only averaging 15 minutes per game. However, Looney is averaging 8.4 rebounds per game, so his rebounding would be hard to replace […]

Joel Embiid Uncertain For Monday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Miami Heat. The superstar center is back on the injury report after only playing two games this season. Luckily, this sounds like a minor issue, so it should only cost Embiid one game at most. If he sits, […]

Walker Kessler Misses Fourth Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (hip) will remain on the shelf for Sunday's clash with the Clippers. He continues to nurse a hip problem. With him out, the stage is set for John Collins to go off for another big game. He's notched 24.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.7 steals since replacing Kessler in the […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Back In Action Sunday

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will play against Brooklyn on Sunday. A knee contusion kept him off the floor against the Nets on Friday, but Towns makes a quick return. The Knicks' new star center had 46 points against Chicago in his last outing and has hit the 30-point mark four times in […]

Michael Rasmussen Might Be An Option Monday

Detroit Red Wings center Michael Rasmussen (upper body) might make a quick return to the lineup. He missed his first game of the season on Saturday versus Los Angeles, but Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde hopes to have him available again on Monday against San Jose. The same applies to defenseman Simon Edvinsson (lower […]

Mason McTavish Lands On Injured Reserve

Anaheim Ducks center Mason McTavish (upper body) has been placed on Injured Reserve. The 21-year-old has been out for three games and doesn't appear to be ready to return in the upcoming games. Despite missing time, McTavish remains Anaheim's third-highest scorer this season, with eight points (two goals, six assists) amassed in 13 outings. Isac […]

Tommy Novak Returns For Predators Sunday

Nashville Predators center Tommy Novak (upper body) will rejoin the lineup on Sunday versus Vancouver. He has recovered from an upper-body injury, which kept Novak sidelined for six games. The 27-year-old has not had a lot of offensive success in 2024-25, posting three goals and four points. Skating mostly in the bottom six, Novak has […]

Josue Briceno Wins AFL MVP After Triple-Crown Campaign

Detroit Tigers catching prospect Josue Briceno took home the Arizona Fall League's Joe Black MVP Award after he led the circuit in all three Triple Crown categories: batting average (.433), on-base percentage (.509), and HR (10). But it wasn't just those stats, the 20-year-old also led in hits (39), RBI (27), and OPS (1.376). The […]

Nikola Jokic Out Again On Sunday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (personal) won't play in Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He was listed as questionable heading into this one after missing Friday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans due to personal reasons. As a result, Dario Saric entered the starting lineup in that one and finished with nine points, eight […]

It’s great to be back in the swing of things in the NBA, RotoBallers. In these articles, I focus on the top plays, traditionally geared toward cash games. However, with over a decade of NBA DFS experience under my belt—and as someone who rarely dives into cash formats—I'm selecting picks that also typically come with […]

Deandre Ayton Likely To Miss Another Game

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) Isn't expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the visiting Hawks. If the 26-year-old doesn't play because of a sprained right index finger, it will mark his third-straight absence. But with things heading in that direction, fantasy managers should prepare to pivot toward Donovan Clingan, who had […]

Jusuf Nurkic Expected To Play On Sunday

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is listed as probable heading into Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 30-year-old missed Tuesday's meeting with the Utah Jazz because of a sprained ankle. Although he had carried injury designations before the Suns' previous two games against the Sacramento Kings and Oklahoma City Thunder, he's been out […]

Anthony Davis Active For Matchup Against Pelicans

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) is active for Saturday night's matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. Davis had been listed as probable earlier in the day, so it would appear that his plantar fasciitis isn't bothering him enough to hold him out. AD is a must-start on Saturday in all fantasy formats, as […]

Joel Eriksson Ek Ruled Out For Saturday

Minnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) will miss Saturday's contest against Dallas. He suffered a lower-body injury on Thursday versus Montreal. Minnesota also lost Mats Zuccarello (lower body) against the Canadiens, resulting in a big line shake-up for Saturday's game. Frederick Gaudreau will skate in Eriksson Ek's usual role as the second-line center, […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Uncertain For Sunday’s Game

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. The 29-year-old All-Star is dealing with a left knee contusion that sidelined him in Friday's win, and it's unclear if he'll be ready to return. Towns has been a key contributor this season, posting impressive averages of 26.5 points […]

Nikola Jokic Listed As Questionable For Sunday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (personal) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 29-year-old superstar, a three-time MVP, is at risk of missing his second consecutive contest due to personal reasons. If Jokic remains sidelined, Dario Saric could make another start, with Zeke Nnaji and DeAndre Jordan also stepping in […]

Alex Turcotte Ready For Action Saturday

Los Angeles Kings center Alex Turcotte (upper body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and will return to action against Detroit on Saturday. An upper-body injury has kept Turcotte sidelined for five games. He has notched five points (one goal, four assists) in 13 games this season, averaging 11:51 of ice time. We should see […]

Sean Couturier Available On Saturday

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (lower body) will re-enter the lineup on Saturday against Buffalo. He missed Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to Ottawa due to a lower-body injury, and the team initially considered him a game-time decision for Saturday. Couturier will take on his normal duties as the first-line center, which pushes Ryan Poehling back […]

Victor Wembanyama Uncertain To Play Versus Dallas

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game in Dallas. The 20-year-old has had an MVP-caliber season, most recently amassing 28 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, and two blocks in Friday's Emirates NBA Cup loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. With Devin Vassell (foot) getting the night off, fantasy managers could […]

Domantas Sabonis Ruled Out For Saturday Night

Sacramento Kings forward/center Domantas Sabonis (back) won't play in Saturday's matchup versus the Utah Jazz. The veteran had 23 points, 12 boards, and three blocks in Friday's overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, he's dealing with back tightness, although it's unknown how severe the issue is. With DeMar DeRozan (back) and Malik Monk (ankle) […]

Rays Deal To Build A New Stadium Now Dead?

It appears likely that a historic deal to build a new $1.3 billion stadium for the Tampa Bay Rays at the Tropicana Field site is all but dead, according to the Tampa Bay Times' John Romano. The Pinellas County Commission has postponed one vote on bonds that would go toward financing a new ballpark, and […]

Diamondbacks Sign Connor Kaiser, Aramis Garcia To Minors Deals

The Arizona Diamondbacks signed infielder Connor Kaiser and catcher Aramis Garcia to minor-league deals on Friday that include invitations to major-league spring training next year.

Walker Kessler Still Out On Saturday

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (hip) remains out for Saturday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. The 23-year-old has averaged only 9.2 points this season, which isn't surprising. However, category managers have at least appreciated his career-high 10.7 rebounds and 2.8 blocks per contest. Hopefully, Kessler's absence won't extend beyond three games. But in the meantime, […]
