Chris Boucher Tagged As Doubtful For Season Opener

Toronto Raptors center/forward Chris Boucher (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for the season opener. Less than a week ago, he wasn't able to travel with the team, and now he officially gets the doubtful designation. If he's unable to play, Thaddeus Young, Precious Achiuwa and Juancho Hernangomez are likely to step up and share those […]

Robert Williams III Will Miss First Half Of Season

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III underwent a knee procedure back in September that was only supposed to keep him out for about four to six weeks. After receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection on Monday, their hope is that he returns sometime in December or January, but it could take even longer. This is a […]

Guardians-Yankees Game 5 Postponed

Game 5 of the American League Division Series between the Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees on Monday night has been postponed due to inclement weather in the Bronx. Right-hander Aaron Civale was scheduled to start for the Guardians, while right-hander Jameson Taillon was the Yankees' scheduled starter in the deciding game of the series. […]

Thomas Bryant Will Miss Season Opener

Los Angeles Lakers center Thomas Bryant (thumb) won't suit up for the season opener on Tuesday. The injuries continue to pile up for Bryant, which is a real shame. The 25-year-old does have potential, but his career has been derailed by injuries. Hopefully, Bryant won't miss much time from this thumb sprain. In the meantime, […]

Nick Schmaltz Ruled Out For At Least Six Weeks

Arizona Coyotes forward Nick Schmaltz (upper body) has been ruled out for six to eight weeks. The 26-year-old was injured last week in the team's season opener against Pittsburgh and he has already missed one game. Being without a player who averaged nearly a point per game last season is obviously a massive blow for […]

Evgeny Kuznetsov Considered A Game-Time Call Monday

Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against Vancouver. He missed the morning skate for the "maintenance" of an undisclosed injury. Connor McMichael filled in for Kuznetsov and should partner Anthony Mantha and T.J. Oshie in his season debut if Kuznetsov isn't able to play. The Russian forward hasn't […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/17/22): MLB DFS Lineups

Happy Monday, Rotoballers! Today was the last day on the schedule we could've had two games on our MLB slates. But, alas, the Astros dispatched the Mariners in three games, and we are down to single-game contests for the rest of the postseason. Cleveland has the unenviable task of trying to win a winner-take-all matchup […]

Fantasy Basketball Week 1 Waiver Wire Pickups Include Tari Eason, Santi Aldama, Jalen Williams, Ayo Dosunmu

The 2022-23 NBA season is here, basically. I guess technically it doesn't start until Tuesday, but whatever. Close enough. This year, we're adding an additional piece of information to our weekly waiver wire column: a schedule breakdown, so that you can have an idea of which teams play the most games so you can use that […]

Fantasy Basketball Breakouts, Busts, And Locks - New York Knicks 2022 Outlook

We are officially just a couple of days away from the first regular season games of the new NBA season! At this point, most of your drafts are probably done with some still to come right up until the first game tips off. For those that do still need to draft, we want to help […]

Jose Trevino Starting Behind The Plate

New York Yankees catcher Jose Trevino is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's Game 4 against the Cleveland Guardians. The 29-year-old will move back into the lineup after getting the day off for Game 3. Kyle Higashioka will head to the bench, which makes sense considering Trevino is the better hitter between the two. […]

Cal Raleigh Has Been Playing Through Injury

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (thumb) has been battling through an injury down the stretch of the season. The 25-year-old revealed that he has been playing through broken left thumb and torn ligament in his left hand for over a month. The Mariners were eliminated on Saturday, so Raleigh will have the entire offseason to […]

Roope Hintz Enjoys A Three-Point Night Versus Nashville

Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz led the charge on Saturday against Nashville, bagging two goals and an assist in a 5-1 victory. Jason Robertson also had a three-point night with one goal and two assists. Hintz started the damage early on with a short-handed goal and finished it with an assist on Robertson's first goal […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/16/22): MLB DFS Lineups

And then there were two. Two left playing anyway. The Yankees and Guardians are the only teams that haven't decided their division series round yet. We get prime-time baseball on Sunday. It's not all bad! For showdown mode on DraftKings, we pick one captain who costs 1.5x his normal salary, but he also scores 1.5x […]

One Injury Away: Valuable Handcuffs to Keep an Eye On For Fantasy Basketball

If one thing is true about sports, it's that injuries are inevitable. Even the healthiest and most durable of players aren't exempt from injury. Because of this, it's important to plan ahead in fantasy sports on the off chance that one of your guys goes down. Handcuffing is an interesting strategy that could pay huge […]

Alize Johnson Waived By The Spurs

The Spurs waived forward/center Alize Johnson on Saturday. The 26-year-old signed with the team in August on a non-guaranteed training camp deal, so he wasn't a lock to make the team. Johnson has bounced around the league since being drafted in 2018, playing a combined 72 regular-season games for the Pacers, Nets, Bulls, Wizards, and […]

OKC Exercises Option For Aleksej Pokusevski

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Aleksej Pokusevski had his fourth-year option picked up by the team on Saturday. Pokusevski, a first-round pick in 2020, has averaged 7.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in the last two seasons. He's still a work in progress, especially on the shooting end from deep, so fantasy managers won't receive […]

Jonathan Drouin Enters Canadiens Lineup

Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin will make his season debut on Saturday against Washington after missing the team's first two games as a healthy scratch. He is expected to skate on the fourth line, replacing Rem Pitlick in the lineup. Drouin can be a productive player, but he's had awful luck with injuries, and with […]

Nico Hischier Ready To Go Saturday Night

New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier (hamstring) is ready for his season debut on Saturday against Detroit. The former first-overall pick missed the team's season opener on Thursday against Philadelphia, as he was still recovering from a hamstring strain suffered during training camp. Hischier had a nice 60-point campaign in 70 games last term and […]

Fantasy Basketball - Preseason Risers and Fallers

Last night wrapped up the final preseason games across the association and now teams have three more days to finish out their training camps and prepare for their first regular-season games. You may have already drafted for your fantasy basketball leagues, and if that's the case then you won't be able to draft or avoid […]

Travis d'Arnaud Batting .417 Across Three Playoff Games

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud had two hits over four at-bats during Friday's Game 3 9-1 loss against Philadelphia Phillies. He doubled twice and now has three doubles already in the postseason. d'Arnaud is having a stellar Division Series so far, slashing .417/.417/.917 with one homer, four RBI and one run. The backstop was one […]

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/15/22): Today's Top MLB DFS Lineups

It's all-day baseball time! No more of this split-slate nonsense. All four series have a game today and they are all staggered, so you have something to watch during commercials in college football games. Atlanta and Philly are the early birds again. Houston goes for the sweep in Seattle a couple of hours later. The […]

Derrick Favors Expected To Be Waived By Houston

Houston Rockets forward/center Derrick Favors will be waived. The veteran was traded from OKC in September after averaging 5.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in 39 games last season. Favors was never expected to see the floor in Houston, so the latest news isn't a surprise by any means. While he's well past his prime, a […]

Thunder Dan's 2022-23 Fantasy Basketball Rankings and Draft Analysis

I am quite possibly more excited for this NBA season than I have been for any previous season since I was a kid. I grew up watching the golden age of the NBA in the '80s and '90s and have been an NBA fan ever since. But this season is hopefully going to be like […]

Vincent Trocheck Posts Two-Point Night Thursday

New York Rangers center Vincent Trocheck picked up a goal and an assist Thursday against the Minnesota Wild, helping the team to a 7-3 thumping. After going scoreless in the season opener against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Trocheck made his mark with a two-point performance Thursday. The 29-year-old is coming off a bit of a […]

Shane Wright Scratched Thursday

Seattle Kraken center Shane Wright was a healthy scratch on Thursday. The fourth overall pick from this year's draft took a seat Thursday against the Los Angeles King, a game that the Kraken ended up winning 4-1. Even in their season opener Wednesday, Wright played fourth-line minutes and had no powerplay time, amassing just 6:14 […]
