Al Horford To Rest On Tuesday Evening

Oklahoma City Thunder forward/center Al Horford (rest) will not play on Tuesday evening against the Chicago Bulls. After the team played a back-to-back over the weekend, it appears as if the veteran will get another day off for some r&r. With Luguentz Dort (shoulder) also potentially out, look for Moses Brown and Aleksej Pokusevski to […]

Marvin Bagley III Fractures Left Hand Against Charlotte

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III (hand) was injured during Monday's matchup against Charlotte. The 22-year-old suffered a fractured left hand, an injury that could keep him out until the end of the regular season and possibly longer. With Bagley out of the mix, the team may continue to rely on Richaun Holmes, with Nemanja […]

Bam Adebayo Likely Back On Tuesday Night

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (knee) is likely to return on Tuesday against Cleveland. The 23-year-old has been out of the mix while battling tendinitis in his left knee, an injury that has kept him off the floor throughout the team's previous four contests. With Adebayo's potential return against the Cavaliers, Kelly Olynyk and KZ […]

Philipp Kurashev Nets Seventh Goal

Chicago Blackhawks forward Philipp Kurashev scored his seventh goal of the season in Monday's 6-3 loss to Florida, joining Patrick Kane and Brandon Hagel on the scoresheet.

Fantasy Basketball Deep League Adds: Week 12

The deeper a fantasy league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to help […]

Steven Stamkos Nets 13th Goal Of The Season

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos scored the team's only goal in Monday's 4-1 loss to Nashville, reaching 13 goals for the season. Alex Killorn and Yanni Gourde delivered the assists.

Davis Bertans And Raul Neto Cleared To Play Monday

Washington Wizards forward/center Davis Bertans (calf) and guard Raul Neto (rib) will both play Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Neto will remain in the backup point guard role while Bertans will remain the stretch four off […]

Clint Capela Listed As Questionable Tuesday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (heel) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Houston Rockets. Capela has been dealing with some heel pain lately, but the good news is this is not the same foot that gave Capela problems last season. Capela has missed two games due to the ailment, but both were the second […]

Christian Wood Upgraded To Doubtful Tuesday

Houston Rockets forward/center Christian Wood (ankle) has been upgraded to doubtful Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. Not the best news, but this is a start as it has been six weeks since Wood has been listed something other than "out" on the injury report. The Rockets have been saying Wood is nearing a return and […]

Gary Sanchez Has A Minor Wrist Cramp

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (wrist) took a foul tip off of his wrist, causing his wrist to cramp, according to manager Aaron Boone. Sanchez stayed in the game and didn't appear to be bothered by his wrist, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to miss any time. Still, Sanchez has struggled with injuries […]

Jusuf Nurkic Should Return In Two Weeks

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (wrist) is expected to get back on the court within the next two weeks. He likely would've returned sooner, but suffered a setback due to a calf issue. He should slide right back into the starting five once he's ready to play. Fantasy managers will just need to be […]

Nazem Kadri Registers Two Points In Colorado Victory

Colorado Avalanche forward Nazem Kadri recorded a goal and an assist in a 4-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday. Kadri now has seven goals and 13 assists through 26 contests.

Celtics Open To Trading Tristan Thompson

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson could be on the move with the deadline quickly approaching.

Joe Pavelski Scores On Sunday Against Columbus

Dallas Stars veteran forward Joe Pavelski netted his 14th marker of the season as Dallas defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1 in a shootout. The two-game set between the teams was split with the Stars win. Despite Dallas currently out of the playoff picture, Pavelski has had an excellent year producing 25 points in 24 […]

Gorgui Dieng Could Be On The Move

Memphis Grizzlies center Gorgui Dieng is reportedly available in trade discussions as the deadline approaches. Dieng is on an expiring one year deal worth $17.2 million, so there is always a chance of a buyout happening. The Grizzlies hardly ever use Dieng in their rotation, so they'd likely take the best available offer. Dieng has […]

Mitch Garver Collects A Pair Of Hits On Sunday

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's tie with the Red Sox. Garver got every bit of a Nathan Eovaldi fastball and sent it off the bat at 109.4 MPH into left field for a double. The 30-year-old has looked healthy this spring and has absolutely […]

Elias Diaz (C, COL) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~pick 360 CURRENT ADP: ~382 overall ANALYSIS: You want hitters in Coors. This is not a new strategy.

Luis Campusano Eyes Opening Day Roster Spot

San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano went 1-for-1 with a walk on Sunday. The 22-year-old rookie's chances of earning a spot on the club's opening day roster increased with the news that first-string catcher Austin Nola has a fractured finger. He may have to open the year on the injured list. That would move backup […]
