BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS:  We're definitely not back to the bad back when it comes to Brook Lopez, am I right? Lopez has played at least 28 minutes in all five games he's been involved in this season--which is to say in all games the Bucks have […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS:  It is a shame that we don't get to enjoy Drummond in full these days, even more considering the man is still to turn 30 years of age and in the middle of his prime. It is what it is for an old-school […]

Jarred Vanderbilt (PF/C, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 34% of leagues ANALYSIS: It is all jokes until it is not. Are these Jazz anything? 5-2 after more than a week of play and a 124-123 victory over the Grizzlies on Saturday? I mean, something has to eventually give for Utah to land Wemby, right? Right? For now, […]

Isaiah Stewart (C, DET) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: For a third-year man, undersized, starting games nightly, and doing so for a reasonably bad team like the Pistons still are... what Isaiah Stewart is offering nightly is way beyond what one would expect from the young Beef Stew. Stewart has two double-double […]

Anthony Davis May Miss Another Game On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (back) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Nuggets. The 2012 No. 1 overall pick missed Friday's game against the Timberwolves due to low back tightness. However, he's been dealing with the issue since the preseason, so the team may remain cautious and keep him out as long as […]

Deandre Ayton Out At Least A Week

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is expected to be out for at least one week. The big man injured his foot early during Friday's meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans and didn't return.

Mika Zibanejad Ends Dry Spell With Big Game

New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad ended a four-game dry spell with a big three-point effort in Saturday's 6-3 win over Dallas. He netted a power-play goal and had two assists.

Sean Couturier Has Back Revision Surgery

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier has undergone back revision surgery and will be unable to play for 3-4 months. Couturier's season debut has been delayed because of a back problem and sadly we won't be seeing him for quite a while. He also had season-ending back surgery in February, so talk about bad luck.

Martin Maldonado To Handle Catching Duties In Game 1

Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado will catch Justin Verlander in Game 1 of the World Series. Maldonado has taken the reigns as the team's go-to option behind the dish, starting all but one playoff game. That one game was Cristian Javier's only start of the postseason, so should he start a game in this series […]

Michael Rasmussen Suspended For Two Games

Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen has received a two-game suspension from the NHL. He is getting punished for high-sticking Boston's David Krejci in Thursday's 5-1 loss. Krejci was forced to leave the game after Rasmussen hit him in the head with his stick. The Red Wings are losing a player who has been very […]

The 25-year-old cashed in 26 points, eight rebounds, one assist, four steals, and three blocks while shooting 76.9% from the floor. His scoring has been an up-and-down trend so far, but the rebounding and defensive numbers continue to flow. He'll be […]

Domantas Sabonis Falls One Assist Shy Of Triple-Double

Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis contributed in many ways other than scoring on Thursday night. In the 110-126 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, the 26-year-old put up 11 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists, and one steal across 31 minutes of playing time. He only attempted six shots as De'Aaron Fox, Keegan Murray, and Harrison Barnes […]

Dewayne Dedmon Downgraded To Out Thursday

Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon (foot) will sit out Thursday's contest against the Golden State Warriors due to plantar fasciitis. Dedmon was questionable to play but came down to a true game-time decision and was ruled out minutes before tip-off. Dedmon is averaging less than 10 minutes per game this season, so there should not […]

Alperen Sengun Expected To Play Friday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (illness) is listed as probable to play Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Sengun has missed the past two games with an undisclosed illness, but is on track to rejoin the team Friday. With Bruno Fernando (knee) out, it's been a mix of Jabari Smith Jr. and Usman Garuba at […]
