Veteran Bounce Backs In Effect for Fantasy Baseball

The old, boring vets are often the most painful to draft. We've likely seen their ceiling or are so far past it that their current level of production is meager in comparison. This relative way of thinking typically leaves a poorly framed assessment on that subset of players, leaving value to be harvested among the […]

Sidney Crosby Posts Three Points In Tuesday's Win

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby registered a pair of goals and added a primary assist as his team picked up a 7-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday night. The 33-year-old was more than due for a big night like Tuesday as he had been a bit off his game as of late - […]

Norvel Pelle Questionable Against Nuggets

New York Knicks center Norvel Pelle (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's outing against Denver. The 28-year-old is currently dealing with a sprained right ankle, which puts his status in jeopardy against Nikola Jokic (toe) and the Nuggets. With Mitchell Robinson (foot) out and Nerlens Noel (ankle) questionable, coach Thibodeau may turn to Taj Gibson for […]

Nikola Jokic Probable Against New York

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (toe) is probable ahead of Wednesday's clash against New York. Joker popped up on the latest injury report due to soreness in his right toe, but with the team looking to catch Utah for the second seed out west, the MVP candidate will be needed against the surging Knicks. Jokic […]

Chimezie Metu Will Miss Tuesday’s Contest

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Chimezie Metu (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus Oklahoma City due to a sore back. Metu hasn't suited up since last Friday, giving Marvin Bagley III unabated minutes at the power forward slot. Averaging just 5.3 points and 2.6 boards this season, Metu hasn't cracked the Sacramento rotation […]

Kirby Dach Won't Play On Tuesday

Chicago Blackhawks center Kirby Dach (wrist) will miss Tuesday's clash with Carolina after aggravating scar tissue in his right wrist. The Blackhawks are officially eliminated from playoff contention, so they can start resting their banged-up guys. Dach has notched two goals and 10 points in 18 appearances this season. Chicago has only three games left […]

Tristan Thompson Questionable Against Magic

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson (pectoral) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. He recently moved into the starting five, but that stint could be short lived. His absence would mean an immediate boost for Robert Williams. He'd see all the minutes he can handle at center, which would make him […]

Nerlens Noel Might Sit Against Nuggets

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He has been banged up lately, but the Knicks could certainly use Noel in this one. The team will likely wait until after shootaround before making a final decision. Taj Gibson could become an interesting streaming choice […]

Bismack Biyombo Moves Into Starting Five

Charlotte Hornets center Bismack Biyombo will move into the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Hornets are shorthanded here with P.J. Washington (personal) and Miles Bridges (protocols) ruled out. He should see plenty of minutes, but Cody Zeller will be involved as well. Neither of them are reliable enough options to […]

Jorge Alfaro Doing Running And Catching Drills

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) has started doing running and catching drills in his rehab. There hadn't been much news about Alfaro since he was placed on the injured list, so it's good to know his rehab is progressing somewhat. Now that the minor league season is getting underway, the Marlins will likely have […]

Victor Rask Adds Two Points In Minnesota Victory

Minnesota Wild centerman Victor Rask tallied a goal and an assist on Monday. His team was able to knock off Vegas in a tightly contested battle, winning 6-5. Rask has been a critical component for the Wild in 2021, playing center on the team's third line. He has been flexible, moving up and down the […]

Ryan Getzlaf Scores Lone Ducks Goal In Losing Effort

Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf notched his fifth goal of the season in Monday's 3-1 loss to St. Louis. It's his first goal and point in eight games. The Ducks captain still has a bit left in his tank, but he'll be 36 next week and his numbers have suffered a big drop in the […]

Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid is collecting points at a rapid pace. McDavid notched four points to help the Oilers clinch a playoff spot in a 5-3 win over Vancouver. Through 50 Oilers contests, McDavid has recorded 31 goals and 60 assists. He leads the NHL in points with 91 while his teammate Leon Draisaitl […]

Auston Matthews Keeps Closing In On 40 Goals

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews scored another goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to Montreal, which leaves him just one shy of posting a second consecutive 40-goal year.

Anze Kopitar Approaches Career Milestone

Los Angeles Kings veteran centerman Anze Kopitar is one point away from reaching 1000 regular-season points in his career.

Tyler Seguin Scores In Return From Injury

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin scored the game-tying goal in his team's 5-4 overtime defeat to the Florida Panthers on Monday night. Skating in first game of the campaign following hip and knee surgeries over the offseason, Seguin skated 17:09 of ice time and recorded an even-rating, three shots on goal and two hits in […]

Sebastian Aho Takes Down Blackhawks With Hat Trick

Carolina Hurricanes center Sebastian Aho celebrated his fourth career hat trick in Monday's 5-2 victory over Chicago, taking his point streak to eight games in the process. The 23-year-old Finn has been one of the hottest forwards in the league for a while, finishing pointless just twice in his past 15 games. He has notched […]

Nikola Jokic Drops 32 Points With Full Line

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic did all he could to try to lead his team to their sixth straight victory- but his efforts fell just short in Monday's loss to the Lakers. Jokic scored 32 points with nine boards, five assists, two steals, a block, and a three-pointer in 36 minutes of action. The Serbian […]
