Kevin Love Gets To Double-Double In Limited Minutes

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love needed just 23 minutes of action to grab a double-double in Thursday's win over the Thunder, notching 18 points on 6-for-12 shooting and grabbing 11 boards. He was 3-for-4 from downtown and also kept himself busy with two assists and two steals. Love is on a minutes restriction and plays […]

FanDuel MLB Lineup Picks (4/9/21): Daily Fantasy Baseball Advice

As has been commonplace thus far this season, we have a split MLB schedule on Friday, with the afternoon ledger beginning at 3:10pm ET. However, for the purposes of this article, we’ll focus on the six-game main night slate on FanDuel. The modest number of games carry a bit of extra intrigue because some of […]

Pedro Severino Continues Hot Start To Season Thursday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Pedro Severino had another nice day at the plate in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Red Sox. Severino went 2-for-4 with a single, a solo home run (his first of the season), and two strikeouts. The 27-year-old backstop has started all but one of the O's games behind the plate and is […]

Andre Drummond Posts Double-Double Against Miami

Los Angeles Lakers center Andre Drummond finished with 15 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Heat. This is the Drummond the Lakers were hoping to get when they signed him. The center sustained a toe injury in his debut with the team on March 31st […]

Vincent Trocheck Continues To Crush Florida

Carolina Hurricanes center Vincent Trocheck had a two-point night against Florida on Thursday, recording a goal and an assist in a 3-0 win. Sebastian Aho registered the game-winner on a power play and Martin Necas also had a goal and an assist. Trocheck has been a very bad man against his former team this season, […]

Mitch Garver Belts Three-Run Homer Thursday

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver belted his second home run of the season in a 10-2 win over Seattle Thursday. Garver's homer left the bat at an exit velocity of 106.3 MPH and traveled 435 feet, the farthest-hit ball in the game. He rocketed a double and came around to score in his third trip […]

Jack Hughes Leads Charge With His Line In Thursday's Win

New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes produced his second three-point outing of the season in Thursday's 6-3 win over Buffalo, scoring the team's third goal and handing out two assists. His line was on fire as both Janne Kuokkanen and Yegor Sharangovich also finished the game with one goal and two assists. This was New […]

Dom Nunez Jacks Third Home Run Of The Year

Colorado Rockies catcher Dom Nunez went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a strikeout in a 7-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Nunez took D-Backs starter Merrill Kelly deep for a three-run shot in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Rockies up 7-0. It was his third home run and […]

Yermin Mercedes Crushes Second Home Run

Chicago White Sox catcher/designated Yermin Mercedes continues to hit the baseball and has become one of the nicer stories in baseball this season. Mercedes absolutely crushed a 481 foot solo home run off of Brad Keller in the bottom of the second inning. Mercedes has been unstoppable on the young season and finished the contest […]

Clint Capela Questionable On Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) has been classified as questionable for Friday night's matchup against the Bulls. The 26-year-old missed Wednesday's encounter with the Grizzlies while continuing to battle intermittent soreness in his left Achilles. Without Capela in the lineup against Chicago, Onyeka Okongwu will likely get the start once again, with the rookie […]

Serge Ibaka Still Not Ready For Return

Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Serge Ibaka (back) will not play on Thursday night against Phoenix. The big man will now miss his 13th consecutive outing while working his way back from lower back soreness. Marcus Morris Sr. and Nicolas Batum should continue to benefit. However, neither man should be considered a viable fantasy option unless […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Remains Out Against Milwaukee

Dallas Mavericks center Willie Cauley-Stein remains out on Thursday night against Milwaukee. The veteran hasn't played since mid-March while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. The 27-year-old hasn't contributed much this season, so his absence won't impact fantasy managers, primarily since he likely isn't on many teams anyway. Nicolo Melli and […]

Maxi Kleber Available On Thursday Night

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (leg) will play on Thursday evening against the Bucks. Kleber has been dealing with soreness in his right leg, an injury that forced him to miss a few games over the last week. With the 29-year-old back in the equation against Milwaukee, Nico Melli may see a slight reduction in […]

Boone Jenner Expected To Miss Some Time

Columbus Blue Jackets placed centerman Boone Jenner on the IR, and he is expected to miss six weeks. He was injured on Tuesday after breaking his finger. Before the injury, the veteran forward posted eight goals and nine helpers in 41 contests. He plays about 14:00 minutes a game for Columbus, and he has recorded […]

Sam Gagner Will Likely Return Tonight Against Nashville

Detroit Red Wings forward Sam Gagner will be potentially in the lineup Thursday and replace centerman Valtteri Filppula versus Nashville. Gagner has been sidelined with an upper-body injury for the last five Red Wings contests. In the year, the London, Ontario native is responsible for four goals and five helpers through 28 games. He logs […]

Gorgui Dieng Still Dealing With Shoulder Injury

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Gorgui Dieng (shoulder) is questionable Friday against the Denver Nuggets. Dieng suffered a shoulder sprain in his Spurs debut, but has been able to play the last two games after missing two games. Dieng does not have a clear path to minutes with Jakob Poeltl and Drew Eubanks taking away the […]

Larry Nance Jr. Lost Close To 20 Pounds Due To Illness

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (illness) has lost close to 20 pounds dealing with an undisclosed illness over the past week and a half. Nance has not played since March 27th and looks like he could be a ways away from getting back into game shape given this news. Kevin Love has been starting […]

Myles Turner To Sit Against Orlando

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) will not suit up Friday night against the Orlando Magic. Turner will miss his second straight game with a sprained ankle and is likely a little ways out from returning, given the fact he was ruled out over a day in advance. Goga Bitadze started and played well in […]

Malcolm Brogdon And Domantas Sabonis Questionable Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (hip) and forward/center Domantas Sabonis (ankle) are questionable to play Friday against the Orlando Magic. Both players were questionable on Wednesday with their respective ailments, but were ultimately ruled out before tip-off. They will likely end up being game-time decisions so make sure to check back before the games lock. […]

Jusuf Nurkic Available Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (knee) is available for Thursday night's game against the Jazz. Nurkic missed a game with right knee inflammation but will be back out there, presumably with a cap on his minutes. Enes Kanter will likely return to the bench unit, though he could still be a factor in DFS […]

Kristaps Porzingis Expected To Play Thursday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) was left off the team's injury report, suggesting that he'll be playing for the second leg of the team's back-to-back on Thursday against the Bucks. The Mavericks have managed Porzingis' workload this year, though it appears as if the team may be ready to turn him loose for both […]

Andre Drummond Will Play, Kyle Kuzma A Game-Time Call Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center Andre Drummond (toe) will suit up for Thursday's game against the Heat. Forward Kyle Kuzma (calf) is a game-time call. Drummond is in line to enter the starting five for a tricky matchup with Heat center Bam Adebayo. Los Angeles could really benefit from the presence of Kuzma tonight, as they'll […]

Kyle Palmieri, Travis Zajac Join Islanders Lineup On Thursday

New York Islanders forwards Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac will be in the lineup versus Philadelphia on Thursday less than 24 hours after arriving via a trade from New Jersey. Both will skate on the third line. Palmieri should be a top-six forward for the Isles in no time and his fantasy value has received […]

Cubs Could Tweak Lineup With Poor Offensive Start

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross mentioned that his team could experiment with lineup changes with the team hitting a poor .124 over the first six games of the season. Ross spoke about the Cubs always looking to put the best lineup on the field. Ross benched leadoff hitter Ian Happ on Thursday and promoted catcher […]

Jorge Alfaro Dealing With A Tight Hamstring

Miami Marlins catcher Jorge Alfaro (hamstring) is out of the lineup for a second day in a row on Thursday. While Wednesday seemed like a standard off day for Alfaro, manager Don Mattingly kept backup Chad Wallach in the lineup for Thursday's series opener against the Mets. Mattingly told reporters that Alfaro is dealing with tightness […]

Nathan MacKinnon Scores In Fourth Consecutive Game

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon took his goal streak to four games during a multi-point outing in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to Minnesota. He picked up a power-play goal and had an assist on a Mikko Rantanen marker with the man advantage. The Finnish winger also finished with two points. MacKinnon has been on fire at […]

Nicolas Roy Extends Point Streak In Wednesday's Loss

Vegas Golden Knights forward Nicolas Roy scored the team's only goal in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to St. Louis, getting to a three-game point streak. William Carrier and Ryan Reaves picked up the helpers. Roy completed his night at the office with three shots, one block and one hit in 12:11 of ice time. The 23-year-old […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Records Eighth Straight Double-Double

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns scored a game-high 32 points with 12 rebounds in a 141-137 loss to the Pacers Wednesday. It's Towns' eighth straight double-double- and it came with some uber-efficient shooting from the field, as the big man shot 12-for-17, his best percentage on a minimum of 15 attempts this season. The former […]
