Jusuf Nurkic Downgraded To Out

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was listed as questionable coming into this game as he continues to deal with left calf soreness. Drew Eubanks and Trendon Watford should split up the minutes with Nurkic sidelined. Eubanks should be a […]

Boone Jenner Ruled Out For Four Weeks

Columbus Blue Jackets center Boone Jenner is set to undergo surgery to repair a fractured thumb and he will need around four weeks of recovery time. With the team having already suffered a number of injuries up front, Jenner has played a massive role as the first-line center this season, but he sadly now also […]

Elias Pettersson Remains Out On Monday

Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson (illness) will miss a second consecutive game Monday against St. Louis. He has been battling the flu along with Brock Boeser, who has had a bit more time to get healthy and is an "option to play" Monday. Pettersson has exited the lineup as Vancouver's top scorer, having managed 34 […]

Aleksander Barkov Won't Play On Monday

Florida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov (lower body) will miss Monday's contest against Boston. He appeared to have injured his left knee over the weekend against New Jersey and needs some time off to recover. It's the newest health issue for Barkov during a tough campaign, which has seen him play in just 25 of the […]

Deandre Ayton Draws Questionable Designation Monday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been bumped up to questionable to play in Monday's game vs. the Lakers due to a sprained left ankle that has forced him to miss the team's two most recent outings. With Jock Landale (concussion) already out, Bismack Biyombo would be in line for a sizable workload and […]

Rudy Gobert Listed As Questionable For Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The big man has missed each of the last two games with a left ankle sprain. Naz Reid (neck) has been starting in his absence and is a solid streaming option if Gobert is unable to play. However, […]

Jusuf Nurkic Questionable For Monday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 28-year-old went from listed as probable to questionable, so there's a decent chance he sits this game out. His absence would mean more playing time for both Trendon Watford and Drew Eubanks. Between the two, […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Moritz Wagner keeps starting games nightly for the Magic and it's been eight in a row through Saturday.

Seattle Kraken forward Jared McCann completed a comeback victory Sunday against Winnipeg, scoring a 3-2 game-winning goal with 4:32 left in regulation. After giving up a pair of power-play goals, the Kraken found themselves 2-1 down after two periods, but Ryan Donato tied things up with just 16 seconds played in the third and McCann […]

Filip Chytil Day-To-Day After Early Exit

New York Rangers forward Filip Chytil is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury suffered in Sunday's 7-1 win over Chicago. The 23-year-old got off to a great start in the game, bagging a goal and an assist in the first period, but he got then knocked out of the lineup by a late hit from […]

Thomas Bryant Bags First Double-Double

Los Angeles Lakers center Thomas Bryant started his stint as the starting big with his first double-double of the campaign. The 25-year-old went for 16 points and 10 rebounds on Sunday in a 119-117 win against his former team, the Wizards. In 33 minutes of action, he added a pair of assists and finished with […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 10: Malik Monk, Kyle Anderson, Moritz Wagner

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Naz Reid Exits Sunday's Game Early

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid had to cut a productive night short Sunday against Chicago, leaving the game with trapezius tightness. He finished with 10 points in 12 minutes of play, adding three rebounds and one steal. Reid made his second start of the campaign and scored the team's first 10 points. It's a very […]

Nikola Jokic Drops Crazy Triple-Double In Win Over Hornets

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic put up video game numbers in the team's home win over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday night. The reigning MVP posted 40 points, 27 rebounds, 10 assists, and two steals on 13-for-26 shooting. On top of that, he added two threes and made 12 of his 17 free throw attempts. […]

T.J. Oshie Considered Day-To-Day

Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie (upper body) is considered day-to-day by the team. The veteran suffered an upper-body injury in Saturday's matchup against Toronto, logging just 7:04 of ice time. It's a good sign that Washington doesn't expect him to be out long-term, but it's still unclear if Oshie can get himself healthy enough for […]

Evgeni Malkin Good To Go Sunday

Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin will be in the lineup Sunday against Carolina despite leaving the previous game prematurely. He took one of Sidney Crosby's shots to his right knee area Thursday versus Florida, and according to Malkin, the knee is still bruised, but that won't keep him out of the lineup. The Russian superstar […]

Steven Adams (C, MEM) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 49% of leagues ANALYSIS: It's virtually impossible to find a player as efficient as Steven Adams is. In a fantasy world in which the average NBA player puts up around 0.90 FP/min, Adams is currently averaging 1.04 fantasy points per minute and an even better 1.10-figure […]

T.J. Oshie Picks Up Another Injury

Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie exited Saturday's 5-2 win over Toronto with an upper-body injury. He was able to play for only seven minutes before being forced to leave in the second period. A significant injury would be a very bad blow for the player and the team, as Oshie has already missed nearly a […]

Aleksander Barkov Suffers A Lower-Body Injury

Florida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov didn't complete Saturday's game against New Jersey because of a lower-body injury. He didn't come out for the second period after taking Nico Hischier's stick to his left knee area late in the first. Before exiting, Barkov managed to get to 22 points for the season with a power-play assist. […]

Mason Plumlee (C, CHA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hornets entered the Wemby Sweepstakes in a rather unexpected way mostly because of the team's players suffering a bunch of injuries, and they might actually end up throwing the season away entirely if they can't bounce back in time to make […]

Christian Wood Has A Big Game As Starter

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Christian Wood went for a big line in his second start of the season, recording 26 points and 14 rebounds with two assists, two steals and two blocks in a 100-99 overtime loss against the Cavaliers.

Austin Hedges Inks One-Year Deal With Pittsburgh

Free agent catcher Austin Hedges signed a one-year, $five million contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. The 30-year-old is known more for his defense and will be Pittsburgh's primary catcher in 2023.

Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser Questionable For Saturday

Vancouver Canucks forwards Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser are feeling under the weather and might have to sit out Saturday's clash with the Jets. They are game-time decisions for the matchup. Boeser has already missed one game with the illness, while Pettersson has caught the bug relatively freshly. Andrei Kuzmenko and Ilya Mikheyev joined J.T. […]
