Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball: MiLB Stats

Once you've grown accustomed to having advanced tools to help make fantasy decisions, it can feel disorientating to be without them.

For example, advanced plate discipline […]

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez will be the team's starting catcher on Opening Day, officially quieting any speculation that catcher Kyle Higashioka will be starting pitcher Gerrit Cole's personal catcher to start the season. The Yankees have been vocal in their support of Sanchez heading into this season and Sanchez still boasts one of […]

J.T. Realmuto Scratched From Lineup Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto (thumb) was scratched from his scheduled debut on Sunday. Realmuto was set to make his Grapefruit League debut as the designated hitter against the Tigers, though the team held him out because of some "general soreness" in his body. It doesn't appear to be a major setback, though it's still […]

NBA Fantasy Weekly Streamers for Week 13 (Mar 22 - Mar 28)

Fantasy playoffs are looming just behind the corner. For fantasy teams that are in pursuit of a playoff berth or a higher seed, end-of-the-bench guys are running out of wiggle room. If your player is a cut candidate and he just isn't performing, no matter how many opportunities you have given him - don't be […]

The highly-rated youngster combined with Troy Terry to set up Adam Henrique, who has suddenly come to life this month with 10 points in 11 games. Zegras has five points in nine outings in […]

Derick Brassard Notches Hat Trick In Saturday's Win

Arizona Coyotes forward Derick Brassard was a hat-trick hero on Saturday, helping the team to a 5-1 victory over Anaheim. He scored with all three shots he took to register his first regular-season hat trick. Jakob Chychrun and Clayton Keller also scored as Arizona ended a five-game losing run. Brassard now boasts seven goals and […]

Dollar-Day Targets - Salary Cap League Values

Players who go for just $1 in salary cap leagues are guys who lack outside confidence. Not a lot of managers trust that they will be useful on a roster. In standard leagues, many of these players will go entirely undrafted and float around the waiver wire until they produce enough to be picked up […]

Finding Hitter Clones At Cheaper ADPs

One of the most useful algorithms in the machine learning world is that of data clustering. Clustering, in this case, is defined as: grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar (in some sense) to each other than to those in other groups […]

Happy Sunday, everyone. After an abbreviated five-game slate on Saturday, the league features a packed schedule to close out the weekend.

Serge Ibaka Won't Play Against Hornets On Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Serge Ibaka (back) won't play on Saturday against the Hornets as he continues to deal with back tightness. This will be Ibaka's third missed game, with center Ivica Zubac being the primary beneficiary of his absence. Zubac is a savvy DFS play, as he had a double-double in Ibaka's first absence, […]

Tyrese Haliburton, Hassan Whiteside On Minutes Limit Again

Sacramento Kings guard Tyrese Haliburton and center Hassan Whiteside will remain on their minutes' restrictions on Saturday. Considering Haliburton played 32 minutes in his last game, the news may apply more to Whiteside. Haliburton's effectiveness was entirely another matter, as he scored just 4 points, though perhaps he can fare better against a banged-up 76ers […]

Multi-Position Assets For All Fantasy Leagues

With such a short season in 2020, many starting pitchers weren't able to throw more than 60 innings, so it's unlikely that they take the massive jump this season that would allow them to get to the 170-180 innings we usually expect. To work around this, many teams have discussed implementing six-man rotations and even […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (3/20/21): NBA DFS Lineups

The NBA takes a bit of a backseat with 16 more NCAA games going on tonight. There are only four games on the main NBA slate tonight with the Hawks and Lakers playing a matinee in L.A. If you're going to mess around with that showdown, I would say build around LeBron and Montrezl Harrell. […]

As March Madness rolls on with all the hoops you can handle, the professionals continue to push toward the postseason.

We have some big-time […]

Montrezl Harrell Leads Lakers In Scoring On Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Montrezl Harrell recorded a team-high 23 points in Saturday's loss to Atlanta, with LeBron James making an early exit with an ankle injury. Harrell also grabbed 11 rebounds for his fifth double-double of the season, adding one assist and one block on 10-for-13 shooting. With Anthony Davis (calf) already out for […]

Zach Sanford, Oskar Sundqvist Won't Play On Saturday

St. Louis Blues forwards Zach Sanford and Oskar Sundqvist will miss Saturday's matchup with the Sharks. Sanford has been added to the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list and Sundqvist exited Friday's 2-1 shootout win over San Jose with a lower-body injury. The Blues just can't get any luck with injuries this season, as Jaden Schwartz was […]

James Wiseman Remains Out On Saturday

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman will remain out on Saturday against the Grizzlies. The rookie has missed his last few games while adhering to health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. With Wiseman out of the mix for the next few games, the team should continue to run small, with Kevon Looney probably getting the […]

Sidney Crosby Picks Up Two Assists In Saturday's Win

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby handed out two assists in Saturday's 3-1 win over New Jersey. Crosby's line with Jake Guentzel and Bryan Rust combined for six points in the game.

Mitchell Robinson Listed As Questionable For Sunday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was cleared for contact a few days ago, so Robinson is expected to play very soon. His return would make Nerlens Noel a cut-candidate in most formats. Noel doesn't have much upside off the bench unless […]
