New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Larry Nance Jr. played for only five minutes Saturday against the Knicks after spraining his left ankle.

Nance Jr. has been a good […]

Anthony Davis Probable For Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) is expected to play on Sunday against the Mavericks. Nothing new here, as Davis is making another appearance on the injury report because of the same right foot issue that he's battled for most of the season.

Previously, we looked at how the exit velocity is only one piece of the fantasy baseball analysis puzzle.
