New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson came off the bench for a nice 16-point, 12-rebound double-double performance in Tuesday's win over the Wizards, adding three blocks and a pair of assists with 7-for-9 shooting. Robinson broke his right hand the last time he faced Washington and ended up missing over a month of action. He […]

Tristan Thompson Remains Out Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward/center Tristan Thompson (health and safety protocols) will not play Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. It has been a week since Thompson entered the league's health and safety protocols, so we should be anticipating his return sooner rather than later. However, Thompson has been involved in trade talks with the deadline this week […]

Cody Zeller Questionable For Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (shoulder) is considered questionable for Wednesday's contest with the Rockets. Zeller has been dealing with left shoulder bursitis, which has cost him the last two games, though he certainly has a chance to return against Houston. His return would push Bismack Biyombo back to the bench. If he remains out […]

Radek Faksa Questionable For Tuesday's Action

Dallas Stars center Radek Faksa (lower body) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's tilt with the Lightning. The Czech forward notched his fourth goal of the season in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss against Nashville but also exited the game after logging only 10:10. Faksa has 10 points in 28 games this season with 52 hits […]

Roman Josi, Mikael Granlund Set To Return On Tuesday

Nashville Predators forward Mikael Granlund (upper body) and defenseman Roman Josi (upper body) are set to return to the lineup for Tuesday's clash with Detroit.

J.T. Realmuto Homers In First At Bat Of Spring

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (thumb) homered in his first at-bat of Grapefruit League play on Tuesday. That was a nice way to return from a thumb injury he sustained early in camp. Realmuto was always expected to be back for Opening Day, but it's nice to see him get some game action before they […]

Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball: Barrels

We've previously looked at how exit velocity (or EV) is only one piece of the fantasy analysis puzzle. Baseball broadcasts will commonly cite Launch Angle (LA) to complement their EV figures, but it is given in terms of degrees. Am I evaluating a baseball player or trying to find the hypotenuse of an isosceles triangle? […]

James Wiseman, Eric Paschall Cleared To Play

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (health and safety protocols) and forward Eric Paschall (health and safety protocols) have been cleared to play on Tuesday against the 76ers.

James Wiseman, Eric Paschall Probable For Tuesday

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman and forward Eric Paschall are probable to play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Wiseman had scored in double figures in […]

Mark Stone, William Karlsson Combine For Six Points

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone and center William Karlsson each had three points in Monday's 5-1 victory over St. Louis. Stone picked up two goals and one assist, while Karlsson produced one goal and two assists. Vegas' offense flowed nicely even with Max Pacioretty (lower body) missing a second consecutive game. Stone is […]

Oklahoma City Thunder center Moses Brown finished with four points, 17 rebounds, three blocks, and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's win over the Wolves.

Rudy Gobert Will Suit Up For Monday’s Game

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (hip) has been given the green light to take the floor for Monday's contest against the Bulls despite having been questionable throughout the day due to a hip contusion.

Malcolm Brogdon, Myles Turner Will Miss Monday’s Game

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon (back) and center Myles Turner (ankle) have both been downgraded to out for Monday's contest versus Milwaukee.

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (hip) has been deemed questionable to play in Monday's game versus the Bulls as he battles a hip contusion. Gobert has played in all 41 of the Jazz's contests this year, with an absence likely to throw the team's frontcourt rotations into disarray. Not having played fewer than 24 minutes […]

Marcus Johansson Returns From 16-Game Absence

Minnesota Wild forward Marcus Johansson, who has missed over a month of action with an upper-body injury, will finally return to the lineup on Monday against Anaheim. He last played on Feb.18 in a 3-1 win over the Ducks, missing 16 games. Johansson hasn't done much this season with three points in 11 games, but […]

Tristan Thompson Remains Unavailable Monday

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson will miss Monday's game against Memphis as he remains within the league's health and safety protocols. Thompson's absence will mark his fifth in a row, paving the way for Daniel Theis and Robert Williams III to continue carrying significant DFS and short-term streamer appeal in season-long formats. When healthy, Thompson […]

Malcolm Brogdon, Myles Turner Questionable For Monday

Indiana Pacers point guard Malcolm Brogdon (back) and center Myles Turner (ankle) have both picked up late questionable tags for Monday's contest versus the Bucks.
