Mason Plumlee Available On Saturday

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee (head) is available for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He did not practice on Friday, but has cleared concussion protocol. Plumlee is going to be a rest candidate as the end of the season gets closer. Until then, Isaiah Stewart will lose value with the news that Plumlee […]

John Henson Remains Out On Sunday

New York Knicks center John Henson (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Henson has not been able to make his team debut due to a calf issue. Sadly, he won't have much fantasy appeal once he is cleared to play. Nerlens Noel and Taj Gibson will be above him […]

Anthony Davis To Be Evaluated On Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (calf) will be re-evaluated on Thursday, but that doesn't mean a return is around the corner. The team will check out Davis when they return from their current road trip. Assuming everything goes well, Davis could potentially be back on the court in a week or so. Fantasy managers […]

Steven Stamkos Misses Third Game Of The Season

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup for Saturday's road outing at Nashville. The Lightning captain got hurt in Thursday's 6-4 win over Columbus, and according to head coach Jon Cooper, Stamkos is also doubtful for Tuesday's rematch with the Predators. Tampa's star forward has 17 goals and 34 points […]

Toronto Signs Khem Birch For 2020-21 Stretch Run

Power forward/center Khem Birch has inked a deal with the Raptors for the remainder of the season, rejoining the Canadian native with his home country. Birch has not been cleared to suit up Saturday versus Cleveland, but with the Raptors playing four games in the following five days, he'll likely be needed as soon as […]

Mattias Janmark Will Sit Out On Saturday

Chicago Blackhawks forward Mattias Janmark won't take the ice on Saturday versus Columbus due to what the team calls an "organizational decision." The 28-year-old is on the trade block. Chicago picked up Janmark on a one-year deal for the season, and he had a solid spell for the club with 10 goals and 19 points […]

Mason Plumlee Questionable On Saturday Night

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee (head) is questionable ahead of Saturday's bout against Portland. The veteran has been in concussion protocol and didn't play on Thursday night against the Kings. If Plumlee isn't available, look for Isaiah Stewart to get the start at the five, with the 19-year-old posting a 16-point, 13-rebound double-double against Sacramento […]

Marc Gasol Questionable Against Nets

Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against Brooklyn. The veteran is currently dealing with tightness in his left hamstring, but after receiving a DNP-CD on Thursday against the Heat, a potential absence won't mean much for those who still have him on their fantasy roster for some reason. If […]

Jarrett Allen Still Out On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (head) is out again on Saturday night against Toronto. The former Net has been dealing with a concussion and has missed the team's previous six contests as a result. The 22-year-old has played well since joining the club, and with the team looking beyond the season, he likely won't be […]

Nikola Jokic Records Another Triple-Double In Victory

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic recorded his 13th triple-double of the season in Friday's 121-119 victory against the Spurs. Jokic finished with 26 points, 13 rebounds, 14 assists, one steal and six turnovers on 9-for-17 shooting from the field, 2-for-2 from deep and 6-for-6 from the free-throw line in the contest. Jokic's MVP caliber season […]

Nathan MacKinnon Continues Point Streak On Friday

Colorado Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon extended his point streak to eight games assisting on a third-period Mikko Rantanen goal. The Avalanche shutout Anaheim 2-0 to claim their sixth win in their last seven matches. During MacKinnon's eight-game hot streak, he is responsible for five markers and eight helpers. The centerman is tied for fourth in […]

Jorge Alfaro A Late Scratch With Hamstring Tightness

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) was scratched from the lineup Saturday just 40 minutes before first due to lingering tightness in his left hamstring, according to Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald. Chad Wallach will take over behind the plate now and bat eighth against the Mets. Alfaro is 3-for-14 with a stolen base […]

Nikola Vucevic Scores 25 Points In Loss

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic finished with 25 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal on 11-for-19 shooting from the field and 3-for-5 from three-point range in Friday's 120-108 loss against the Hawks. Vucevic has been a nice addition for the Bulls, as the 30-year-old has scored 20-plus points in seven of eight games […]

Ryan O'Reilly Records Hat Trick In Blues Victory

St. Louis Blues forward Ryan O'Reilly tallied three goals and an assist for his second four-point game of the season. O'Reilly and the Blues destroyed Minnesota 9-1 on Friday night. One of O'Reilly's three goals came shorthanded, while the other two were in even-strength situations. Through 40 Blues contests, the centerman has compiled 16 markers […]

Early in the 2021 season, there is a noteworthy injury trend. I have noticed a lot of muscle/tendon sprains/strains to start the season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of leagues ANALYSIS: You have to laugh at some of the lineups the Bucks have run this season while resting players.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 50% of leagues ANALYSIS: We have to thank Davis Bertans for proving how a contract year can definitely make one perform to higher-than-high levels of play in the NBA.
