Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis was mostly quiet during Wednesday's loss to Washington, but he had a big fourth quarter with 14 points to finish with a team-high 26 points on 10-for-20 shooting.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/29/21): MLB DFS Lineups

We have a 5-game main slate on tap tonight. Scratch that, now a 4-game main slate with the CWS/DET game getting scratched as it is now a part of a doubleheader. It is an ugly 4-game slate and one that will be pretty chalky at the pitching position but does have a few ways to […]

Luis Torrens Has A Big Day At The Plate

Seattle Mariners catcher Luis Torrens provided plenty of offense against the Houston Astros Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored. Torrens seemed to have Zack Greinke's number as both hits came off the accomplished starter. Torrens is off to a difficult start to the year, with a […]

Austin Nola Activated From Injured List

The San Diego Padres activated catcher Austin Nola (finger) from the injured list on Wednesday and optioned young backstop Luis Campusano to the alternate site. Victor Caratini, who filled in admirably for the injured backstop, received the start on Wednesday with Nola available off the bench. Caratini, however, has struggled to hit for any power this season, accumulating […]

Joel Embiid Posts 17 Points Against Hawks

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid finished with 17 points, seven rebounds, one assist, three blocks, and one steal in Wednesday's win over the Hawks. Embiid is no doubt a versatile player who can be effective in many stat categories. In eight of the past nine games, the center has had at least 21 points. In […]

Jarrett Allen Notches 17-Point, 13-Rebound Double-Double

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen came through with a 17-point, 13-rebound double-double in Wednesday's loss to the Magic, shooting 7-for-12 from the field and 3-for-6 at the foul line. His night at the office also included two blocks, one assist and one steal. Allen's rebounding numbers have dropped this month, but he now has two […]

Kristaps Porzingis Upgraded To Questionable

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) has been upgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He has missed each of the last three games, but this is promising news. The Mavs have been cautious with their superstar center, so we'll see if they let him suit up here. Maxi Kleber, Willie Cauley-Stein, […]

Goga Bitadze Might Play Versus Nets

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was able to get through a light workout on Wednesday. It sounds like the Pacers are likely to take the cautious approach here. Domantas Sabonis (back) remains sidelined alongside Myles Turner (ankle) for Thursday. Oshae Brissett will […]

Jake Cronenworth, Victor Caratini Get Night Off Wednesday

San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth and catcher Victor Caratini are both getting the night off on Wednesday. Caratini had played in eight of the team's last 10 games, while Wednesday marks just the second time this year Cronenworth is out of the lineup. Through 25 games this season, Cronenworth is hitting .253 with […]

Mason Plumlee Sidelined On Thursday

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee (rest) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It's not a back-to-back set, but the Pistons want to get their younger players more minutes. At this point, Plumlee is likely going to see a lot of rest days in the future. Isaiah Stewart will be asked […]

Steven Adams Available Against Denver

New Orleans Pelicans center Steven Adams (toe) is available for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It sounds like he'll in the starting lineup despite dealing with a minor toe issue. Both Willy Hernangomez and Jaxson Hayes will lose value with Adams suiting up for this one.

White Sox-Tigers Game Wednesday Postponed

Wednesday night's game between the White Sox and the Tigers has been postponed due to inclement weather, the White Sox announced on Twitter. The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Thursday, with Game 1 beginning at 5:10 pm ET. Managers should adjust their lineups accordingly.

Jonathan Drouin Takes Indefinite Leave Of Absence

Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin, who hasn't played since April 21, will be out indefinitely after he was granted a leave of absence and was placed on Long-Term Injured Reserve by the team. Drouin had been out with a non-COVID related illness. It looks unlikely that the skillful forward will return to the ice during […]

Quinton Byfield Will Make His NHL Debut for Los Angeles

Los Angeles Kings forward Quinton Byfield will make his first NHL appearance on Wednesday versus in-state rival Anaheim. Byfield was the number two pick in this year's draft. He will center the Kings third line. The rookie has eight goals and 12 assists in 30 games playing for Los Angeles AHL affiliate the Ontario Reign.

Max Stassi Activated From Injured List Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels catcher Max Stassi (thumb) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Stassi was dealing with a sprained left thumb, though manager Joe Maddon had said that he was close on Monday- so the move isn't too surprising. The veteran catcher is batting ninth against Rangers' right-hander Dane Dunning. Stassi was […]

Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez Absent From Wednesday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and catcher Gary Sanchez are not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles. Manager Aaron Boone had said that Judge would have to sit for a game or two, as he's dealing with lower-body soreness from travel and appearing in eight straight games. The team hopes the […]

Mitch Garver Hammers Two Homers In Wednesday's Rout

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Indians. Garver had been hitless in his last 14 at-bats coming into the game but put that stretch behind him with a couple of swings in the fifth and seventh innings. Both of his home […]

Yasmani Grandal Gets Another Day Off

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal will rest on Wednesday versus the Detroit Tigers. Grandal has been in a big slump to start the season and has just six hits in 49 at-bats with two home runs and nine RBI. The veteran continues to see days off for Zack Collins and it will be interesting […]
