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.

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 […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (4/8/21): MLB DFS Lineups

We have an interesting 7-game slate on tap today. A few "stud" pitchers to pay for in Berrios, Burnes, and even Lance Lynn. Other than that, the pitching is very suspect, and some decisions will need to be made. When it comes to bats, DK did a decent job with pricing. There are not many […]

We're now one week into the Major League Baseball season and beginning to see some trends start to emerge.

Kelly Olynyk Has Big Night On The Boards

Houston Rockets forward/center Kelly Olynyk looked like prime Dennis Rodman against Dallas on Wednesday, finishing a 102-93 win with a career-high 18 rebounds.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (4/8/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We get a nice-sized slate for a Thursday night, as seven contests are on tap. There’s already one virtually confirmed notable absence, as Giannis Antetokounmpo is considered doubtful to face the Mavericks. That takes some of the luster off the Milwaukee-Dallas matchup, but it’s far from the only intriguing game of the night. A Lakers-Heat […]

Detroit Tigers catcher Wilson Ramos hit his second home run in three days on Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins. It was a solo home run and his only hit in the game as he went 1-for-2 with a strikeout. Ramos has started five of the Tigers' six games so far this year and is slashing […]

Chance Sisco Hits Go-Ahead Single Wednesday

Baltimore Orioles catcher Chance Sisco played the hero in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Yankees. Sisco came into the game in the top of the 11th innings as a pinch hitter and delivered an RBI single off of Chad Green to plate what would be the winning run. The 26-year-old has gotten just one […]

Yadier Molina Hits First Homer Of Season

St. Louis Cardinals veteran catcher Yadier Molina hit his first home run of the season in a 7-0 win over the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. The 38-year-old's two-run blast jumpstarted the offense.

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto walked and scored in the first inning and hit a three-run home run (his first of the season) in the fifth inning in the 8-2 win Wednesday over the New York Mets.

Islanders Pick Up Kyle Palmieri And Travis Zajac In Trade

The New York Islanders made a big move on Wednesday by acquiring forwards Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac from New Jersey. Forwards A.J. Greer and Mason Jobst headed in the opposite direction, along with a first round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft and a conditional fourth round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. The […]

Gabriel Vilardi Comes Out Of Lineup Wednesday Night

Los Angeles Kings center Gabriel Vilardi will sit as a healthy scratch Wednesday night when the team hosts Arizona. The 21-year-old is among the Kings' top prospects, but he's struggled in his first full season in the league, getting only 15 points in 37 games. Vilardi has been filling a top-six role, but his minutes […]
