Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 22: Onyeka Okongwu, Isaac Okoro, Trey Lyles, Torrey Craig, Delon Wright

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 […]

Hitters Coming Off Career Years - American League

Nerlens Noel Still Dealing With Foot Soreness

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (foot) won't play on Sunday versus the Utah Jazz. This shouldn't surprise anyone, primarily since the veteran hasn't played since early February. As a result, Mitchell Robinson remains in play as a viable fantasy option in all formats. Obi Toppin and Jericho Sims may also continue to receive extra […]

Hassan Whiteside Is Available Versus New York

Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside (illness) is available for Sunday's clash against the Knicks. The veteran didn't suit up during Utah's previous outing against the Los Angeles Clippers because of a non-COVID-19 related sickness.

Seth Jarvis Gets A First-Line Role For Sunday

Carolina Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis will join Teuvo Teravainen and Sebastian Aho on the first line against the Rangers on Sunday.

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson (concussion) isn't available for Sunday's meeting against the visiting Portland Trail Blazers. The 20-year-old will now miss his second consecutive outing.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 52% of leagues ANALYSIS: Saturday was a sad day. Facing the Mavs, Mason Plumlee couldn't crack the 15-FP barrier.

Karl-Anthony Towns Might Sit Out Saturday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (forearm) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis thoroughly dominated during his team's defeat Friday vs. Boston, compiling 30 points and 20 rebounds, while adding in five assists for good measure.
