Carter Verhaeghe Scores Fourth Goal Of The Season

Florida Panthers forward Carter Verhaeghe bagged his fourth goal of the year in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss against Columbus. Eetu Luostarinen grabbed the other goal in Florida's first loss of the season. Verhaeghe had only 13 career points in 52 prior to the season so he hasn't had any fantasy value, but the 25-year-old is […]

Mikko Koivu Continues Fine Start In Columbus

Columbus Blue Jackets center Mikko Koivu started the scoring in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over Florida, netting his first goal for the team and making it two points in two games. The former Minnesota captain started off his career in Columbus with an assist in Tuesday's loss to the Cats. Max Domi scored a power-play […]

Mason Plumlee Extends Double-Double Streak

Detroit Pistons center Mason Plumlee notched his third straight double-double in Thursday's win over the Lakers, collecting 17 points on a near-perfect 7-for-8 shooting while adding 10 rebounds. He went 3-for-3 at the line and added a pair of assists and one block in 27 minutes of action. Plumlee has had plenty of games with […]

Serge Ibaka Has Double-Double On Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers center Serge Ibaka finished with 10 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, one block, and one steal in 26 minutes during Thursday's win over the Heat. Ibaka posted his second double-double in the past four games while having posted at least 15 points in three of the last four contests as well. With […]

Christian Wood Posts Double-Double In Return To Lineup

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood returned to action on Thursday night in a win over the Trail Blazers. Wood scored 22 points with 12 rebounds- his eighth double-double of the season- along with a triple, a block, and a steal in 32 minutes. He played 32 minutes and was his usual productive self out there, […]

Alex Avila Agrees With Nationals

The Washington Nationals agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent catcher Alex Avila on Thursday. The left-handed hitter will serve as the backup in D.C. and pair with veteran Yan Gomes. Avila, who will turn 34 years old on Friday, is entering his 13th big-league season. He hit just .184 in 49 at-bats over […]

Derek Stepan Out Thursday With Undisclosed Injury

Ottawa Senators center Derek Stepan (undisclosed) won't feature Thursday night against the Canucks. Filip Chlapik will play in his place. Defenseman Christian Wolanin (lower body) is also ruled out and has been placed on the injured reserve. Stepan is rated day-to-day, so he likely won't be missing for long. He's desperately in need of a […]

Jamie Benn Placed On Injured Reserve

Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn (lower body) has been placed on the Injured Reserve, retroactive to Jan. 22, the team announced. The Stars captain hasn't played since getting injured in the team's season-opener last Friday. He was a game-time decision on Tuesday against the Red Wings, so it seems like whatever is bothering Benn isn't […]

Andreas Athanasiou Added To COVID-19 List

Los Angeles Kings forward Andreas Athanasiou won't play on Thursday against Minnesota after he was added to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list. It's a big blow for the typically low-scoring Kings, as Athanasiou has been one of the most productive players on the team early in the season with three goals and five points in […]

Jack Roslovic Makes Blue Jackets Debut Against Florida

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Jack Roslovic, who was acquired from Winnipeg last week in the Pierre-Luc Dubois-Patrik Laine trade, is set to make his team debut on Thursday against Florida. The Ohio native enters the lineup as a third-line center to play alongside Boone Jenner and Cam Atkinson. Jenner is among the Jackets' top scorers […]

Lars Eller Won't Play On Thursday

Washington Capitals center Lars Eller (upper body) won't be in the lineup on Thursday against the Islanders. He was unable to finish Tuesday's battle with the Isles and is labeled as day-to-day for now. Nicklas Backstrom (undisclosed) was also injured on Tuesday, but he is expected to suit up. Tom Wilson (lower body), who has […]

Christian Wood Upgraded To Probable

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Wood was previously listed as questionable, but it sounds like he'll be able to suit up for the first time in a week. DeMarcus Cousins was finally heating up with Wood sidelined, but his fantasy value […]

Meyers Leonard Won't Suit Up On Thursday

Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He suffered a left shoulder strain early in the month and hasn't played since then. Leonard wasn't offering much in terms of fantasy value when he was on the court anyway. Precious Achiuwa will continue gaining fantasy […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Questionable Versus Pistons

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (knee) are listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Both injuries appear to be minor, but the Lakers like to list them on the injury report anyway. It's highly unlikely that either of them sit out for this game. Fantasy managers […]

Josh Norris Scores Lone Goal in Loss for Senators

Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris tallied his second goal of the season Wednesday night, providing the only offense that Ottawa could muster in a 5-1 loss to the Canucks. Norris did his damage on the power play, with assists from Brady Tkachuk and Drake Batherson, and collected a team-high seven shots on net as well. […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Streamers for Week 6

Week 6 already? It was just yesterday that I was flummoxed by the quick turnaround to the season. Time flies when you're having fun, right? Fantasy hoops is our joy but it hasn't been all fun and games this season. Injuries, postponements, and COVID have made this season more MASH than NBA is faaaaaaantastic. As […]

Hitters Who Changed Scenes - Fantasy Impacts

Well, the 2021 off-season has finally come to life! Over the course of January, we have seen some big splashes, both in terms of pitchers and hitters on the move to new teams. There are still plenty of unsigned big-name free agents, but we have some juicy free agent hitter signings and trades to take […]

Matt Duchene Bags Assist, Shootout Winner Wednesday Night

Nashville Predators forward Matt Duchene had a nice outing in his 800th career game on Wednesday, delivering an assist and scoring the lone goal in a shootout to take down the Blackhawks 2-1. He helped Nick Cousins to bag his first goal of the season in the third period. Duchene also had three shots and […]

James Wiseman Scores Team-High 25 Points

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman had a very productive bench outing in Wednesday's win over Minnesota, recording a team-high 25 points in 24 minutes. He was a perfect 3-for-3 from deep and shot 9-for-14 overall from the field while adding six rebounds and two blocks. Wiseman has scored at least 15 points in four […]

Al Horford Sinks Five Treys, Posts Double-Double

Oklahoma City Thunder center Al Horford (personal) returned from a six-game absence and produced a big line in Wednesday's win over Phoenix, finishing with a 21-point, 11-rebound double-double while adding three steals, two assists and one block on a perfect 5-for-5 from three-point range. He missed only four of his 12 shots overall from the […]

Andre Drummond Has Double-Double With Five Steals

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond posted a solid line against his former team, the Detroit Pistons, in Wednesday night's 122-107 win. He scored 23 points and grabbed 16 rebounds while adding two blocks and a season-high five steals. On the downside, he didn't have a very efficient game as he shot just 9-for-24 from the […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/28/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! The league is giving DFS players four games to choose from tonight. The four games aren't close to the full slate on other evenings, but it is still a fantastic lineup of superstars to have in your lineups. A couple of injuries and absences will also open the door to some sneaky […]

Rudy Gobert Goes Off Against Dallas

The Utah Jazz pushed their winning streak to 10 games on Wednesday behind a huge showing from center Rudy Gobert. In 37 minutes of action, Gobert scored 29 points on 11-for-20 shooting and grabbed 20 rebounds. He also added three steals, three blocks, and one assist. Arguably the NBA's best defensive big, Gobert isn't known […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/28/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Following a massive 12-game night Wednesday, we’re down to a much more modest four contests Thursday. That naturally narrows our player pool significantly, but even with a couple of big names in Paul George and Kawhi Leonard slated to remain out, there are still some elite names taking the floor. Additionally, the absence of the […]

Domantas Sabonis With Triple-Double Against Charlotte

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis recorded a triple-double in Wednesday's victory over the Charlotte Hornets. Sabonis scored 22 points on 9-for-10 shooting and added 11 rebounds and 10 assists. The fifth-year forward is in the midst of his best NBA season and is averaging a double-double for the second year in a row, as well […]

Nikola Jokic Extends Double-Double Streak In Win Over Heat

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic notched his seventh straight double-double of the season in Wednesday's 109-82 win over the Heat. Jokic scored 21 points with 11 boards, three assists, one triple, and one block in 34 minutes. It wasn't an incredible night, as he had just three dimes, his lowest mark in any game so […]

Nikola Vucevic Compiles 26 Points

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic had 26 points, nine rebounds, and two assists in 33 minutes during Wednesday's loss to Sacramento. Averaging 23.5 points and 11.1 rebounds per game, Vucevic has been nothing short of amazing this season. In the last three of four games, the center has a double-double and he also has at […]

Derrick Favors Downgraded To Out Against Dallas

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (back) will not play Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Favors was questionable with back soreness before being downgraded to out. Favors has been playing limited minutes off the bench for the Jazz, but Utah is already without Donovan Mitchell (concussion). Georges Niang will probably get more run in the second […]

Lucas Wallmark Heads To COVID-19 List

Chicago Blackhawks center Lucas Wallmark will enter the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list and won't play on Wednesday against Nashville. The 25-year-old wasn't in the lineup on Tuesday against the Predators and he now can't help his team for the foreseeable future. He joins teammates Adam Boqvist and Alex DeBrincat on the list. Wallmark had just […]
