Willie Cauley-Stein Will Suit Up Saturday

Cauley-Stein has started each of the last 30 games that he […]

John Collins is Doubtful for Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He fell awkwardly during Friday's game and limped to the locker room afterward. He was ruled out shortly after that, so it's not surprising that he'll likely sit here. Jabari Parker (throat) is doubtful as well, so Alex […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Might Sit Out on Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was able to go through an extended shooting drill on Saturday. Towns is making progress, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out at least one more game. Gorgui Dieng is looking like a reliable […]

Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl Finish Off The Bruins

Edmonton Oilers forwards Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl both scored in Saturday's 4-1 win over Boston.

The German also registered an assist in the game. The […]

There are nine games on the slate and like usual, the theme is value.

There is risk with every single player, but […]

NBA Weekly Streamers for Week 12 (Jan 6 - Jan 12)

Capela and Harden had the connection flowing on […]

Andre Drummond On Track To Play Saturday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond may have missed practice Friday, but that does not appear to be keeping him from suiting up Saturday versus the Golden State Warriors, as he is not listed on the team’s initial injury report. Trade rumors are swirling around Drummond ahead of Saturday’s contest, forcing owners to keep an eye […]

John Collins To Miss Remainder Of Friday’s Contest

Atlanta Hawks power forward/center John Collins has been ruled out for the final quarter and a half of Friday’s game versus the Boston Celtics due to a back contusion after landing hard earlier in the third quarter. Prior to his departure, Collins collected 16 points and eight rebounds across his 22 minutes, shooting 6-for-9 from […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Tagged As Questionable For Saturday

Golden State Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein has picked up a questionable designation for Saturday’s game versus the Detroit Pistons due to an illness. Cauley-Stein has been sidelined for each of Golden State’s past two games, with Marquese Chriss having entered the starting five and becoming a solid short-term fantasy asset.

James McCann Could Be Trade Bait

Chicago White Sox catcher James McCann could be trade bait this offseason as the team looks to strengthen their bullpen. McCann, who was a first-time All-Star in 2019, is more expendable after the Pale Hose signed catcher Yasmani Grandal and first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion off the free-agent market. Grandal will be the primary catcher, […]

Frank Kaminsky To Miss Third Straight Contest

Phoenix Suns power forward/center Frank Kaminsky has been ruled out for Friday’s game versus the New York Knicks due to knee soreness. Kaminsky’s absence marks his third consecutive game on the sidelines with Cameron Johnson and Cheick Diallo likely to continue absorbing his minutes, although neither presents a particularly appealing DFS option. After starting 13 […]

Kristaps Porzingis is Ruled Out for Saturday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's dealing with right knee soreness and was already expected to sit this game out. The Mavs are going to be cautious with their star center and haven't given a timetable for his return. Maximilian Kleber and Dwight […]

Andre Drummond Misses Practice on Friday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (illness) was unable to suit up for Friday's practice. He reportedly has a stomach bug, so fantasy owners should consider Drummond questionable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Christian Wood and Markieff Morris would see more time if Drummond sits. Wood is worth stashing in most formats right […]

DeAndre Jordan Records Double-Double In Loss
