Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 21: Naz Reid, Max Strus, Serge Ibaka, Bones Hyland, Jordan McLaughlin

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 […]

Nathan MacKinnon Scores Two Goals In Victory

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon scored twice in Sunday's 3-0 shutout victory against the Flames. MacKinnon led the way on the offensive end as he was credited with the game-winning goal to go along with another goal early in the third period. MacKinnon is one of the best centers across all fantasy formats, as the […]

Cole Sillinger's Hat Trick Leads Blue Jackets To Win

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger recorded his first career hat trick in Sunday's 6-4 victory against the Golden Knights. Sillinger led the way offensively in the high-scoring contest with a pair of goals less than two minutes apart in the second period to complete the hat trick. The 18-year-old is the youngest player in […]

Naz Reid Questionable For Monday Due To Back Spasms

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (back) is questionable ahead of Monday's matchup in San Antonio. The 22-year-old got 23 minutes of work against the Heat on Saturday, finishing with an impressive double-double along with three steals and two blocks. Yet, he's now dealing with back spasms, which isn't ideal considering Jarred Vanderbilt (quadriceps) has already […]

Twins Acquire Gary Sanchez, Gio Urshela From Yanks

The Minnesota Twins acquired catcher Gary Sanchez and third baseman Gio Urshela from the New York Yankees on Sunday night in exchange for third baseman Josh Donaldson, shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and catcher Ben Rortvedt, according to a source. The Twins traded away catcher Mitch Garver earlier in the week, but they'll now have Sanchez as […]

Sam Steel Added To Injured Reserve

Anaheim Ducks forward Sam Steel (upper body) will miss at least a couple of more games after he was placed on Injured Reserve.

Jalen Suggs, Mo Bamba Starting On Sunday

Orlando Magic point guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) and center Mo Bamba (calf) are both good to go for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/13/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

It's back to the typical smaller weekend slate tonight as we have five games on tap in the association. The Pacers-Hawks affair projects to be the highest-scoring game on the slate with a 236.5-point implied total, but the Rockets-Pelicans, Lakers-Suns, and Grizzlies-Thunder matchups all offer their fair share of fantasy intrigue as well. The 76ers […]

LeBron James, Talen Horton-Tucker Questionable To Play Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center LeBron James (knee) and shooting guard/small forward Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) have popped up on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Suns with questionable designations.

Jalen Suggs, Mo Bamba Questionable To Suit Up Sunday

Orlando Magic point/shooting guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) and center Mo Bamba (calf) have been tagged as questionable to play in Sunday's game against Philadelphia. Both players were able to take the floor Friday, although Suggs has missed two outings over the past 10 days due to an ankle ailment. Bamba's status is arguably more relevant […]

Christian Wood On Track To Return For Sunday’s Game

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (illness) is expected to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Pelicans, ending a three-game stint on the sidelines due to an illness. Alperen Sengun was the primary beneficiary of Wood's absence, with the rookie likely to revert to his role among the second unit. Wood was enjoying an uptick […]

Luke Maile Signs With Guardians

The Cleveland Guardians agreed to a minor league deal with free-agent catcher Luke Maile on Saturday that will pay him $900,000 if he's in the major leagues.

Mason Plumlee (PF/C, CHA): Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Hornets traded for Montrezl Harrell this past deadline. Although overall Harrell's minutes haven't gone down from those he was getting in Washington, they have cratered in March with three games at just 17 MP. Mason Plumlee has remained the big-boy paint-linchpin […]

Matt Duchene Scores Two Goals In Loss

Nashville Predators forward Matt Duchene finished with two goals and an assist in Saturday's 7-4 loss against the Blues.

Jordan Kyrou Contributes Three Assists In Victory

St. Louis Blues forward Jordan Kyrou finished with a trio of assists in Saturday's 7-4 victory against the Predators. The 23-year-old assisted both goals by forward Robert Thomas and added another one on forward Brandon Saad's first period goal. Kyrou needs to be started across all fantasy formats as the talented young forward leads the […]

Nerlens Noel Remains Out Versus Brooklyn

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (foot) will miss Sunday's meeting against Brooklyn. No surprise here, as Noel has missed over a month of action because of a sore left foot. It's unknown how much longer he will be out or if he will even return this season, for that matter. However, with Mitchell Robinson […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Out Again On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (hip) won't play against the Knicks on Sunday. The veteran is currently dealing with a right hip issue, and he's missed two games already as a result. He's expected to be out at least another week, which will allow Nicolas Claxton and James Johnson to get some additional minutes. However, […]

Robinson Chirinos Heading To Baltimore On One-Year Deal

The Baltimore Orioles signed veteran catcher Robinson Chirinos to a one-year contract, according to Marly Rivera of ESPN. Chirinos is nothing more than a stopgap option for the O's, as top-prospect Adley Rutschman should spend the bulk of the season as the starting catcher in Baltimore. The 37-year-old Chirinos slashed .221/324/.454 with five homers across […]

Boone Jenner Out Week-To-Week

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner (lower-body) is week-to-week with a lower-back injury.

Gabriel Landeskog Set For Knee Surgery

Colorado Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog is set to undergo knee surgery on Monday, head coach Jared Bednar said Saturday. Colorado's captain won't have a timeline for his return, but the team is hopeful of getting him back before the regular season is done and dusted. Landeskog is having a very fruitful campaign with 30 goals […]

Jakob Poeltl Dealing With A Sore Back

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl (back) isn't available for Saturday's meeting against the Pacers. The big man is currently dealing with back soreness, but with the Spurs playing its second of back-to-back games, his omission from the lineup is likely related to rest. Nevertheless, Dejounte Murray (calf) and Keldon Johnson (rest) also won't play, […]

Kurt Suzuki Returns To Angels On One-Year Deal

The Los Angeles Angels are bringing back catcher Kurt Suzuki on a one-year, $1.75 million deal, according to MLB Insider's Robert Murray. Murray notes that the deal is pending a physical.

DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/12/22): Today's Top NBA DFS Lineups

We're treated with a solid seven-game slate tonight and there are a variety of different ways you can go with your builds. Giannis and Jokic are in their own stratosphere in terms of salary, so you'll very likely need to pick one or the other unless a ton of value opens up throughout the day. […]

Rangers Acquire Mitch Garver From Twins

The Texas Rangers acquired catcher Mitch Garver from the Minnesota Twins on Saturday in exchange for shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and an unnamed prospect. Garver will be the team's new starting catcher in 2022, which those investing in Jonah Heim stock won't be too thrilled about. Garver broke out in 2019 with 31 home runs and […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Sit Versus Blazers

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (rest) won't suit up for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. This doesn't come as a surprise as the Wizards are expected to hold out Porzingis during back-to-back sets. On Friday, Porzingis finished with 14 points, 14 rebounds, and two assists in 25 minutes. He was 3-of-13 from the […]

Nikola Vucevic, Ayo Dosunmu Probable For Saturday

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hamstring) and guard Ayo Dosunmu (groin) are listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Both players are expected to suit up despite dealing with minor injuries. Although, Tristan Thompson would be asked to start, assuming Vucevic is out. Thompson isn't a great fantasy option, but is a […]
