Filip Chytil Out 4-6 Weeks With Injury

New York Rangers centerman Filip Chytil will be sidelined with an upper-body injury for the next four to six weeks. The 21-year-old departed the Rangers contest versus the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday after a hard open-ice collision with forward Evan Rodriguez, who also suffered an injury on the play. The news comes at a tough […]

Jamie Benn Questionable For Tuesday

Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn will be a game-time decision on Tuesday as his team hosts the Detroit Red Wings. The Stars captain, who departed his team's season opener with a lower-body injury, also missed his team's 3-2 victory over the Nashville Predators on Sunday night.

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell is expected to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz, according to head coach Rick Carlisle.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/26/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We have another smaller slate for our FanDuel slates tonight. Despite the small slate, we still have some good teams to choose from. However, good teams don't always mean good players.

Trae Young, Clint Capela Headline Tuesday’s Questionable Tags

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (back) and center Clint Capela (hand) have both been upgraded to questionable to play in Tuesday's matchup versus the Clippers after missing Sunday's contest due to their respective ailments. Danilo Gallinari (ankle) has also picked up a questionable designation, tossing Atlanta's potential lineup construction into flux. Without Young/Capela on […]

Joel Embiid Will Miss Monday’s Contest

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus Detroit due to back tightness.

Anze Kopitar Guides Kings Past Blues

Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar posted a goal and added two assists as his team stormed to a 6-3 victory over the visiting St. Louis Blues on Sunday.

Christian Wood Up In The Air For Tuesday

Houston Rockets power forward/center Christian Wood (ankle, personal) was given an excused absence from practice Monday, which has further flummoxed his availability for Tuesday's contest versus Washington.

Wendell Carter Jr. Will Miss Third Straight Outing Monday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (quad) has been ruled out for Monday's contest versus the Celtics, which marks his third consecutive absence due to a quad ailment. Daniel Gafford has started in his stead, but after a foul-riddled performance his last time out, much of his DFS upside shine has faded. Carter, who has […]

Larry Nance Jr. Ruled Out For Monday’s Game

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (wrist) has been deemed unavailable to suit up for Monday's contest versus the Lakers as he battles a sprained wrist.
