Anze Kopitar Remains Hot In Front Of Goal

Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar scored the team's second goal in Friday's 4-2 loss to Minnesota, joining Trevor Moore among the goal-scorers. He found the back of the net for the third time in four games. The Kings have had a pretty rough ride again this term, but Kopitar has played very well throughout […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (4/24/21): NBA DFS Lineups

We have a solid six-game NBA slate on tap tonight, at least on the surface. Once we look closer, it becomes less appealing. John Wall will rest after playing last night. With Kevin Porter Jr. on the COVID list, the Rockets are going to be really thin at guard. Zach LaVine, Domantas Sabonis, Donovan Mitchell, […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/24/21): MLB DFS Lineups

DraftKings sliced this Saturday slate almost right down the middle. We have seven early games, six prime-time games, and a small two game short slate to keep us occupied today. This serves to water down both slates a little bit. That's not to say that there aren't a couple of good options out there. The […]

Pedro Severino Plates O's Only Run Friday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Pedro Severino produced the O's only run in Friday's 3-1 loss to the A's, going 2-for-4 with two singles, an RBI, and two strikeouts. The 27-year-old has gotten off to a decent but uninspiring start to the season, slashing .255/.286/.340 with one home run and two RBI. Severino has been a fantasy […]

Sam Huff To Miss A Few Months

Texas Rangers catcher Sam Huff (knee) is expected to be out at least eight weeks. The prospect will be on the shelf to have surgery to remove a loose body, an injury he sustained after hurting his right knee while rehabbing from a hamstring strain. While the 23-year-old may be back behind the dish at […]

Jonas Valanciunas Nearing Return

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (concussion) is reportedly nearing a return to the court, according to head coach Taylor Jenkins. He is working his way through the league's concussion protocol at the moment. Jenkins is hopeful that Valanciunas is able to suit up for Sunday's contest. In the meantime, Xavier Tillman and Jaren Jackson Jr. […]

Richaun Holmes Could Return Soon

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (hamstring) was able to fully participate in Friday's practice. There is a chance that Holmes is able to play during Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. His return would make Hassan Whiteside a cut-candidate in many fantasy formats. However, it's unknown if Holmes will play on Sunday or if […]

Goga Bitadze Able To Shoot On Friday

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (ankle) was able to get some shots up during Friday's practice. It sounds like the ankle is getting better, but Bitadze is likely going to be sidelined for a few more games. The Pacers are fairly banged up right now, so Oshae Brissett is expected to take on significant playing […]

Serge Ibaka Making Solid Progress

Los Angeles Clippers center Serge Ibaka (back) was able to get through some 4-on-4 work during recent practices. There haven't been many updates on Ibaka progress over the last few months. He has been sidelined since mid-March due to a back injury. He'll likely be eased back into the rotation once he is cleared to […]

Kristaps Porzingis Picks Up Questionable Tag For Saturday

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) has been deemed questionable to play in Saturday's game versus the Lakers after having sprained his left ankle Thursday. Dallas has been notoriously prudent as it pertains to Porzingis' health this season, although there appears to be optimism that he could take the floor for the showcase contest. […]

Travis d'Arnaud Not In Lineup Friday Night

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud is not in the lineup on Friday night against the Diamondbacks. Rookie Alex Jackson will take over behind the plate in his place and bat eighth in the lineup. d'Arnaud has gotten off to a slow start in 2021, slashing .197/.231/.344 with two homers and nine RBI in 17 games. […]

Patrice Bergeron Misses First Game Of The Season

Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron (lower body) will miss his first game of the season on Friday against Buffalo. The Bruins captain has been replaced by Charlie Coyle on the top line. Bergeron has had a very productive month with eight goals and 14 points in 13 games. He boasts 41 points for the whole […]

Joel Embiid And Furkan Korkmaz Questionable Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (shoulder) and guard/forward Furkan Korkmaz (ankle) are both questionable to play Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Embiid is being listed with a shoulder injury which is better news considering it is not his knee, however his availability remains in jeopardy. Korkmaz missed Thursday's game due to the ankle sprain and […]

Clint Capela Has Officially Been Ruled Out

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (back) will not play Friday against the Miami Heat. Capela was questionable after having a hard fall on his back on Wednesday. The injury tightened up during their travel to Miami and ultimately caused him to be ruled out. The Hawks have a back-to-back set starting Sunday, but it's too […]

Clint Capela Questionable Against Miami

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (back) is listed as questionable Friday against the Miami Heat. The league-leader in rebounds, Capela has dealt with a plethora of injuries this season and now has a back contusion. If Capela is unable to go, Onyeka Okongwu would likely get a spot start and go toe-to-toe with Bam Adebayo. […]

Giancarlo Stanton, Gary Sanchez In Friday's Lineup

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton and catcher Gary Sanchez are back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Indians. Both Stanton and Sanchez were given the day off Thursday, though the two sluggers will be back in action against Indians' left-hander Logan Allen. Stanton will bat second for the fourth time this […]

Willson Contreras Continues Hot Start To 2021

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras went 1-for-4 with a walk, home run and three RBI in Friday's victory versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Contreras was bumped to the top spot in the order on Friday with outfielder Ian Happ getting the day off. The Cubs were up 15-2 and Contreras was able to get some rest […]

The Big Picture - Backstops Balling Early

A necessary evil. A statistical sinkhole. A dark cloud hanging over your roster. That's how the catcher position is largely viewed these days. Much like the tight end position in fantasy football, if you don't grab one of the top three or four performers on draft day, you might as well just wait it out […]

Nikola Vucevic Double-Doubles In Thursday's Loss

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic scored 18 points with 16 rebounds, six assists, and a three-pointer in Thursday's win over the Hornets. Vucevic had scored just nine points on 4-for-12 shooting in his last game, so it was nice to see him bounce back with 61.5 percent shooting from the field. Vucevic has four 20-point […]
