Jock Landale Suffers Foot Injury Sunday
San Antonio Spurs center Jock Landale (foot) suffered a foot injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was taken to the locker room after sustaining the injury and ruled out for the game shortly after. He was only able to log six minutes before the injury. The Spurs […]
Alex Len Good To Go On Sunday
Sacramento Kings center Alex Len (back) has been given the green light to suit up for Sunday night's game against the Golden State Warriors. Len is currently hampered by a sore back, but it won't keep on the sidelines on Sunday. Unfortunately for Len, he's become a bit buried on the depth chart, even with […]
Tre Jones, Zach Collins Starting On Sunday
San Antonio Spurs point guard Tre Jones and center Zach Collins will be part of the starting five for Sunday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. They'll be joined by Joshua Primo, Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson. Both Jones and Collins are excellent fantasy options for Sunday's slate. This is the second consecutive start […]
Jakob Poeltl Ruled Out On Sunday
San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers due to lower back tightness. With Poeltl sidelined, we should see Zach Collins slip into the starting five. He's an excellent streaming option, especially if you're in need of rebounds and blocks. This will be […]
Bo Horvat Good To Go On Sunday
Vancouver Canucks center Bo Horvat is set to play Sunday against Vegas after logging just 4:38 Wednesday against St. Louis due to an illness. He apparently had a stomach bug but feels much better now. "Obviously was not a fun 48 hours I would say, but definitely feeling a lot better now," said Horvat after […]
White Sox Trade Zack Collins For Reese McGuire
The Chicago White Sox and Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to a catcher swap. Zack Collins is headed to Toronto while Reese McGuire is on his way to Chicago. While it may seem like a perplexing trade on the surface, the reasoning behind it for both teams appears sound. In McGuire, the White Sox will […]
Nazem Kadri Set To Spend Some Time On The Shelf
Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri (upper body) missed Saturday's 3-2 win over Pittsburgh and it looks like he'll be out for multiple games. "He's going to miss some time. I don't know how much," said head coach Jared Bednar after Saturday's win, adding that he expects his second-line center to be ready for the Stanley […]
Ryan Strome Remains Out On Sunday
New York Rangers forward Ryan Strome (lower body) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Sunday against Philadelphia. On Saturday, there were reports of him possibly returning for the matchup but it looks like he still needs some time to recover, Strome has been listed day-to-day ever since he got hurt against Buffalo last Sunday. […]
Wendell Carter Jr. Remains Sidelined On Sunday Night
Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist) remains sidelined for Sunday's game versus the New York Knicks. Carter has missed his previous two games and four of his last five, and with the season coming to a close, he may be finished for the year. Nonetheless, Chuma Okeke and Moritz Wagner should continue to receive […]
Ryan Donato Back On First Line Sunday
Seattle Kraken forward Ryan Donato will be reunited with Alex Wennberg and Jordan Eberle Sunday against Dallas. He's been a regular on the first line recently but had to give up his spot to Jared McCann Friday against Vegas. Donato managed to grab an assist in Friday's 5-2 loss and he now boasts 24 points […]
Goga Bitadze Available Against Detroit
Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (foot) is listed as available for Sunday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. The 22-year-old has been a frequent mention on the league's injury report for a while now because of right foot soreness, so the update isn't much of a surprise. Bitadze has averaged 13.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.1 […]

The Wolves-Rockets affair, in particular, grades […]
Evan Mobley Remains Out On Sunday
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Evan Mobley (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus Philadelphia, marking his fourth consecutive absence. Jarrett Allen (finger) remains out as well, although there's hope both men will be back before the end of the regular season. In the meantime, Moses Brown will likely continue to get some extra run, with the 22-year-old […]
Daulton Varsho With Three Home Runs This Spring
Arizona Diamondbacks catcher/outfielder Daulton Varsho has hit three home runs so far this spring, giving us a glimpse of the power potential he has. He's played in 10 games and he's slashing .200/.273/.533. The 25-year-old is slated to be the team's primary center fielder this year while also getting some starts behind the place. That […]
Adley Rutschman Ramping Up Baseball Activities
Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman (triceps) has yet to appear in a game this spring due to a strained right triceps muscle. However, he has been ramping up his baseball activities lately, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports. He has begun hitting off of a tee from both sides of the plate and he's […]
Will Smith Slugging .609 This Spring
Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith has been making a lot of hard contact so far this spring. Over nine games and 25 plate appearances, he's slugging .609 with two home runs, two doubles and one triple. Smith is almost unanimously ranked as the No. 3 overall catcher in fantasy going into the 2022 season, […]
J.T. Realmuto Slashing .310/.355/.517 In Spring
Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto has had a strong Spring Training so far. Over 10 games and 29 at-bats, he's slashing .310/.355/.517 with four extra-base hits (one home run, three doubles). The 31-year-old was limited a bit by injuries last year. He played in 134 games and compiled 17 home runs, 13 stolen bases, 73 […]
Hassan Whiteside Quiet In Return
Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside (foot) was able to make his return to the court on Saturday versus the Golden State Warriors. The big man had missed four games prior to that due to a minor bone spur fracture. Whiteside didn't offer much in terms of fantasy production during Saturday's loss. He finished with two […]
Jamie Steed's Bold Predictions for 2022 Fantasy Baseball
Bold predictions can be the key to fantasy seasons. Predicting players who will outperform or underperform expectations by extreme amounts can win leagues. Bold predictions can also be entirely unhelpful, speculative thoughts that are just fun to consider. And the latter is what these are! Sort of. I'm not going to tell you I think Vladimir […]
Wendell Carter Jr. Won't Play Versus Knicks
Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Knicks. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise as the Magic continue to tank with a few games left in the regular season. Chuma Okeke should continue to start and be a decent streaming option. Moritz […]
Tyler Seguin Ties Stars Record With Three First-Period Assists
Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin started his night on Saturday against San Jose by matching a franchise record with three assists in the first period. He's the first Star to have three assists in a period since Corey Perry in 2019-20. Dallas scored two more times in a 5-4 victory but Seguin didn't get any […]
Auston Matthews Extends Point Streak To 12 Games
Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews registered his 51st goal of the season in Saturday's 6-3 win over Philadelphia, extending his point streak to 12 games in the process.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hawks are currently the 10th seed in the East but are also tied for 8th and 9th with Brooklyn and Charlotte respectively.

Jonah Heim Makes Rangers Opening Day Roster
Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim will be on the Opening Day roster after Saturday's trade of fellow backstop Jose Trevino, according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Heim, 26, made his debut last season, appearing in 82 games, but hit an unimpressive .196 with 10 HRs and three stolen bases. He will presumably back up recent […]
Aleksander Barkov Helps Panthers Complete Comeback
Florida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov had a clutch performance in Saturday's 7-6 overtime victory, as he scored twice in the final five minutes of regulation to help the team complete the comeback and earn the win. Barkov found the back of the net with 4:37 remaining in the third period and then again with 1:24 […]
Yegor Sharangovich Records Hat Trick Against Panthers
New Jersey Devils forward Yegor Sharangovich finished with a hat trick in Saturday's 7-6 overtime loss against the Panthers.

Sharangovich snapped a four-game goalless drought and now […]
Chance Sisco Released By The Mariners

Jose Trevino Traded To The Yankees
The Texas Rangers traded catcher Jose Trevino to the New York Yankees in exchange for Albert Abreu and Robert Ahlstrom. The 29-year-old is a defensive stalwart but doesn't produce much at the plate.
