Anze Kopitar Scores Lone Goal In Loss

Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar scored his fifth goal of the season in Tuesday's 2-1 loss against the Predators.

Radek Faksa Continues To Record Points For Dallas

Dallas Stars forward Radek Faksa assisted on a Michael Raffl tally in a 2-1 shootout victory Tuesday over Pittsburgh. Faksa now has a goal and three assists in just four Dallas contests. He centers the team's third line, playing alongside Michael Raffl and Joe Pavelski. Skating with veteran Joe Pavelski allows Faksa to put up […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/20/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The NBA is back and we started off last night with two great matchups on paper but ended up with only one really competitive game. The Bucks look scary once again this year, and it looks like Giannis will be a $12.5K+ player for the majority of this season. Tonight we have our first big […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (10/20/21): NBA DFS Lineups

It was absolutely fantastic to see the NBA return Tuesday but let's be real, the two-game slate was such a tease. Thankfully, we're in for a treat on Wednesday with 11 games on tap. Because more than half of the teams in the league will be in action, building out a winning lineup is going […]

Brayden Point Gets His First Goal Of The Season

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brayden Point provided the lone goal in Tuesday's 4-1 defeat against Florida, ending Spencer Knight's shutout bid 2:36 into the third period.

Vancouver Canucks center Bo Horvat got the scoring started in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Buffalo, opening his account for the year 5:57 into the game. Justin Dowling also gave Vancouver a 2-1 lead in the first period, but the Canucks then suddenly fell flat. Horvat ended up with a single shot on goal and a […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/20/21): MLB DFS Lineups

Happy Wednesday, Rotoballers! After a wild ninth inning, the Astros and Red Sox play Game 5 of the ALCS less than 16 hours after ending Game 4. Houston exploded for seven runs in the ninth inning to tie the series at two, and they will try to steal one more game in Boston before the series […]

Anthony Davis Goes For 33 Points, 11 Rebounds In Season Opener

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis picked up a nice double-double on opening night, finishing a 121-114 loss to Golden State with 33 points and 11 rebounds. He shot a solid 15-for-26 from the field but struggled from deep with a 1-for-5 effort and from the charity stripe, going 2-for-7. The Brow also collected two […]

Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 1

The NBA season starts on Tuesday, y'all, and we're back here at RotoBaller with some waiver wire add -- or, I guess, some last-minute targets before the season starts, since you probably aren't technically doing waivers yet. These recommendations are for 9-cat leagues, but if you play in another format, there's a good chance that […]

Jared McCann Scores Goal Against New Jersey Tuesday

Seattle Kraken centerman Jared McCann got on the score sheet Tuesday night with a goal in the 4-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils. He converted on the power play to cut the Seattle deficit to 3-2. McCann had a mixed bag kind of night. He played over 16 minutes, including 4:44 on the power […]

Yanni Gourde Nets Point In Loss To New Jersey

Seattle Kraken centerman Yanni Gourde made his season debut on Tuesday night against New Jersey after being activated off Injured Reserve earlier in the day. He scored an assist on the man advantage in the 4-2 loss to New Jersey. More importantly, Gourde played without restrictions and played a lot. He took 26 shifts in […]

Jack Hughes Injured In Win Against Seattle

New Jersey Devils centerman Jack Hughes (shoulder) played just 10 shifts on Tuesday night before getting injured early on against the Seattle Kraken. It just appeared that he fell awkwardly after what could be termed as a slew foot. Hughes had an assist and four takeaways in his limited time. The forward will be evaluated […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Opens Year With Double-Double

Milwaukee Bucks power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has made a habit of amassing double-doubles over the past handful of seasons, and Tuesday's season-opening victory over Brooklyn was no different. On the same night that he received his NBA championship ring from last season, Antetokounmpo went out and made mincemeat of the Nets defense en route to […]

Christian Vazquez Scores Twice, Drives In Two In Game 3

Boston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez has found his offensive game at the right time, as he had another strong playoff performance in Boston's 12-3 ALCS Game 3 victory over the Houston Astros Monday. Vazquez went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored. He now has three multi-hit performances in his last six games. […]

Chris Boucher Officially Questionable Wednesday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Chris Boucher (finger) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Washington Wizards. Boucher underwent surgery on a dislocated finger a couple weeks ago, but was able to practice Tuesday. The Raptors may not decide to push Boucher to play if he's not ready, but we should know more closer to tip-off. If […]

Nerlens Noel Doubtful Against Celtics

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) is doubtful to play against the Boston Celtics Wednesday. Noel had knee problems last year and is dealing with some soreness already. With Mitchell Robinson healthy and apparently in great shape, Noel is more of a defensive stats specialist at best when healthy. With Noel likely sitting this […]

Nicolas Claxton Starting In Opener

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton is listed as the starting center Tuesday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is Claxton's second-career start and, despite the log jam of big men in Brooklyn, seems to be the only true center on the roster. Claxton was a per-minute star last season and should only get better now […]

Dylan Larkin Returns From Suspension

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin will be back in the lineup on Tuesday against Columbus after serving a one-game suspension. He's also missed some practice time during his layoff but is good to go. Larkin made a scoring start to the season in last Thursday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Lightning. He had three […]

Al Horford Will Not Play In Season Opener

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford has been ruled out for Wednesday's opener against the New York Knicks. Horford's homecoming tour will be delayed after the veteran center tested positive for COVID-19 and is in quarantine. It is unclear if Horford is showing any symptoms, but for now it's safe to assume his chances of playing opening […]

Yanni Gourde Set For Season Debut Against Devils

Seattle Kraken forward Yanni Gourde (shoulder) has come off Injured Reserve and will make his season debut in Tuesday's clash against the Devils. According to head coach Dave Hakstol, Gourde will have "full availability" and will play without restrictions. The 29-year-old is among Seattle's most talented forwards and they have high hopes for him. Gourde […]

Nathan MacKinnon Cleared To Play On Tuesday

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon has come off the COVID-19 protocols list and will play on Tuesday against Washington. The 26-year-old superstar makes a pretty unexpected return, as the team headed out on a three-game road trip without him on Sunday and the chances of MacKinnon featuring on Tuesday looked very slim. With MacKinnon back, […]

Blake Wheeler Out For Jets On Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets forward Blake Wheeler will not dress for his team's road matchup versus the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday. Wheeler did not skate with the Jets in Monday's practice after testing positive for COVID-19, and he will be out indefinitely as a result. The Minnesota native has played in just two games thus far in […]

Daniel Gafford Signs Extension With Wizards

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford has reached a three-year, $40.2 million extension with the organization. The young center was logjammed in Chicago, but he should have a significant role in Washington. Gafford is expected to be the starting center heading into the regular season. Thomas Bryant and Montrezl Harrell should be in the mix as […]

The New York Yankees announced Tuesday that they are bringing back manager Aaron Boone on a three-year contract through the 2024 season with a club option for 2025.
