Early Plate Discipline Improvers

Early season data is never very reliable. When you are still in the first month of the season, one game can have a big impact on a player's stat line in most categories. That makes it somewhat foolish to look at the data until you at least get a month or so of games out […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets for Week 5

Sometimes fantasy baseball can resemble the stock market. You want the best portfolio of players without having to pay too much for them.

Marvin Bagley III Could Return Against Lakers

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III (hand) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's matchup against the Lakers. The 22-year-old hasn't seen the floor since the middle of March after missing time due to a broken left 4th Metacarpal. With Harrison Barnes (hip) out against Los Angeles, Bagley could be a sneaky fantasy option, although […]

Nikola Vucevic Likely To Suit Up Against Milwaukee

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (hip) is likely to play on Friday against the Bucks. The veteran is dealing with a right Adductor strain, and although he has a probable designation, fantasy managers should keep an eye on him leading up to opening tip. Without Zach LaVine, who will remain out while adhering to the […]

Isaiah Hartenstein Remains Out Against Washington

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (concussion) is out for Friday's matchup against the Wizards. The 22-year-old will miss another one as he continues to work his way back from concussion protocol.

Isaiah Stewart Has Double-Double Against Mavericks

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds, three blocks, and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Mavericks. Stewart has been effective in getting a solid number of rebounds and points in recent games, but not both at the same time, which slightly affects his fantasy value. Overall, […]

Kristaps Porzingis, Josh Richardson Cleared To Play

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and forward Josh Richardson (hamstring) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Both players were questionable coming into this one, but will suit up with Luka Doncic (elbow) out of action. That being said, both players will be asked to carry a heavier load on offense […]

Clint Capela, Bogdan Bogdanovic Questionable For Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (heel) and guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Capela has been battling a back issue as well, so the team might take the cautious approach here. Onyeka Okongwu and Nathan Knight would be asked to split up the minutes if Capela […]

Goga Bitadze Not Expected To Play Thursday

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (ankle) is not expected to suit up for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Bitadze wasn't able to practice on Wednesday. Oshae Brissett will continue playing heavy minutes with the Pacers banged up. He'll be a favorable DFS option or streaming […]

Steven Adams Will Miss Thursday’s Game

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against Oklahoma City due to continued issues with a toe sprain on his right foot. Adams returned from a one-game absence to log 13 minutes in a start versus the Nuggets on Wednesday, but he was clearly not himself. Willy Hernangomez […]

Kristaps Porzingis, Josh Richardson Likely To Return Thursday

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson (hamstring) have both been bumped up to probable to play in Thursday's contest against the Pistons.

Daulton Varsho, Riley Smith Called Up

The Arizona Diamondbacks called up catcher/outfielder Daulton Varsho and pitcher Riley Smith from the alternate training site on Wednesday after the team placed outfielder Kole Calhoun (hamstring) and pitcher Taylor Widener (groin) on the 10-day injured list. Varsho, who is primarily a catcher, could see more time in the outfield with Calhoun sidelined with an […]

Los Angeles Kings forward Adrian Kempe collected a power-play assist and a short-handed goal in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Anaheim, posting his sixth multi-point game of the season.

Nikola Vucevic Notches Big Double-Double Versus Knicks

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic had a very productive night in a win over the Knicks on Wednesday, collecting a 26-point, 18-rebound double-double with three assists and two blocks. He was 3-for-7 with the three-ball, but his overall shooting could've been a bit better as he finished 10-for-22 from the field. Vuc now has four […]
