The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired center Mikael Granlund from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft.

Willy Hernangomez To Start On Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans center Willy Hernangomez will get the starting nod for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The big man will get the start with Jonas Valanciunas (calf) on the sideline. Also, Larry Nance Jr. (ankle) is out, so Hernangomez and Jaxson Hayes should get plenty of minutes on Wednesday. Between the two, […]

Isaiah Stewart, Jalen Duren Still Out On Wednesday

Detroit Pistons forward/center Isaiah Stewart (hip) and forward/center Jalen Duren (ankle) will remain out on Wednesday against Chicago. Steward is going to miss a second consecutive game, while Duren hasn't played in the last two. James Wiseman and Marvin Bagley III will continue to lead the Pistons frontcourt. Both players have proven themselves as good […]

Anthony Davis Won't Play On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (foot) has been ruled out of Wednesday's matchup against OKC. The Lakers are completing a back-to-back set and won't want to risk an injury to Davis, with LeBron James (foot) already ruled out for several weeks. Wenyen Gabriel, Mo Bamba and Jarred Vanderbilt should share Davis' minutes around, while […]

Joel Embiid Downgraded To Questionable

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (foot) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Miami. He's a late addition to the injury report and could now miss his first game since Jan. 21. Embiid is in the midst of a dominant season and being without him after taking back-to-back losses is far from an […]

Braves Option Chadwick Tromp To Triple-A

The Atlanta Braves optioned catcher Chadwick Tromp to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday and reassigned right-handers Blake Burkhalter, Roel Ramirez and Brooks Wilson to minor-league camp. The Braves now have 61 total players in camp. It's not a surprise that Tromp was sent to Triple-A to begin the 2023 season with Sean Murphy and Travis d'Arnaud […]

Anthony Davis Records Strong Stat Line In Loss

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis posted some big numbers on both sides of the ball on Tuesday night despite taking a 12-point loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. He ended the game with 28 points, 19 rebounds, and five blocks on 9-for-19 shooting overall and 10-for-13 from the line. Davis is going to be the […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Posts Big Double-Double On Brooklyn

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo posted his 20th 30-point game of the season on Tuesday during a 118-104 win over the Brooklyn Nets. The former MVP registered 33 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, and one steal on 15-for-27 shooting overall and 1-for-2 from three. He put together that whole stat line while only playing 28 […]

Tim Stutzle Tallies Three Points In Tuesday's Win

Ottawa Senators forward Tim Stutzle notched a goal and two assists as the team cruised past Detroit 6-1 Tuesday. He netted a penalty shot to tie the game and assisted Claude Giroux and Brady Tkachuk, with Stutzle's first helper coming on the power play. The German sensation continues to impress regularly and is now just […]

Austin Wells Goes For Another MRI Tuesday

New York Yankees catching prospect Austin Wells (ribs), who sustained a bone bruise in his right rib cage in mid-February, was sent for another MRI Tuesday after he felt some discomfort while receiving treatment. Manager Aaron Boone said the 23-year-old is "not doing much yet," as the club awaits the results of his latest MRI. […]

Anze Kopitar Scores Four Goals In Comeback Victory

Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar scored four goals in Tuesday's 6-5 shootout victory against the Jets. It is the second four-goal game of Kopitar's NHL career, as the Kings captain completed a hat trick in the second period to lead the team to a comeback victory and achieve the four-goal mark in a single […]

Cal Raleigh Makes Spring Debut Tuesday

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (thumb) made his spring debut in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Guardians. Batting fifth, Raleigh went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. The 26-year-old had surgery this off-season for a broken left thumb and torn ligaments, so he has been intentionally eased into action. Raleigh provided power from a weak fantasy position […]

Maxi Kleber Will Play Limited Minutes Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (hamstring) will play a reduced role on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers. Kleber is returning after about a two and a half month break due to a right hamstring tear so the limited minutes makes sense from a coaching perspective. Dwight Powell will continue to start for now but may […]

Pierre-Luc Dubois A Game-Time Call Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets center Pierre-Luc Dubois (lower body) missed Tuesday's morning skate and is a game-time decision for a matchup against L.A. Dubois has been enjoying a very good season with 55 points in 60 games but could be unavailable for the first time this term. Adam Lowry is in line to move to the top […]

P.J. Washington Considered Doubtful For Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (foot) has been tagged as doubtful again for their next contest against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. The 24-year-old has missed the last two games with a right foot strain and it looks more than likely that he'll miss at least a third. JT Thor might move into the starting […]

Kristaps Porzingis Downgraded To Out On Tuesday

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been downgraded from doubtful to out on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Hopefully, there weren't any fantasy managers depending on Porzingis because the doubtful status doesn't usually turn out well when tipoff comes closer. While he remains sidelined, Daniel Gafford and Deni Avdija should see the most opportunities […]

Marcus Johansson Returns To Minnesota

The Minnesota Wild have brought back forward Marcus Johansson to the club, receiving him from the Washington Capitals for a 2024 third-round draft pick. Johansson also played with the Wild in 2020-21, recording eight six goals and eight assists in 36 games. It wasn't a great campaign for Johansson, but the Wild clearly liked something […]

Juancho Hernangomez Waived By Toronto

Toronto Raptors forward Juancho Hernangomez is reportedly getting waived by the team on Tuesday. The 27-year-old appeared in 42 games for the Raptors while starting 10 of those contests. He posted averages of 2.9 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.6 assists on 42.1% shooting. The addition of Jakob Poeltl seemed to seal the fate of Hernangomez […]

Anaheim Ducks forward Mason McTavish had his second game of the season with at least three points Monday against the Blackhawks, completing a 4-2 victory with a hat trick of assists. Isac Lundestrom, Max Jones and Troy Terry benefited from his playmaking. The 20-year-old tends to be very inconsistent with his production, but McTavish has […]

Max Domi Continues Hot Streak With Two Assists

Chicago Blackhawks forward Max Domi continued to lead the charge for the team in Monday's matchup against Anaheim, finishing a 4-2 loss with two assists. Both of his helpers came on the power play, with Tyler Johnson and Andreas Athanasiou the goal-scorers. Domi is now on a seven-game point streak, which includes four goals and […]

Detroit Pistons center James Wiseman nearly had a perfect performance from the field while racking up 23 points in Monday's 117-106 loss to the Hornets.
