Marquese Chriss Should Play Versus Clippers

Golden State Warriors forward/center Marquese Chriss (toe) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Chriss signed a non-guaranteed deal in camp, but played his way onto the final roster. The Warriors are banged up, so Chriss will actually see decent minutes to begin the season. Kevon Looney (hamstring) is expected […]

Robert Williams is Not on Injury Report

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (head) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Williams was dealing with concussion symptoms, but was able to practice on Tuesday. He'll be in the mix for minutes at center, but Daniel Theis and Enes Kanter will see time as well. This most […]

Nathan MacKinnon Extends Point Streak To Nine Games

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon notched his fifth goal of the season as his team fell to the St. Louis Blues by the score of 3-1 on Monday. With his power-play marker in the second period, the 24-year-old has now registered at least one point in all nine games of the 2019-2020 campaign. MacKinnon is […]

Joe Pavelski Scores In Monday's Victory

Dallas Stars forward Joe Pavelski potted the game-winning goal as his team defeated the visiting Ottawa Senators 2-1 on Monday. Pavelski's marker came on the man advantage in the second period and he also registered a pair of shots in 19:30 of ice time in the contest. It hasn't been a smooth transition for the […]

Dwight Powell Will Sit Out Season Opener

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's season opener against the Washington Wizards. Powell has been progressing well, but the team will be cautious to start the season. Maximilian Kleber will see a boost in minutes and usage with Powell sidelined to begin the season. Powell should be a reliable […]

Second-Year Breakouts - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values

Year two is where a lot of NBA players make enormous leaps in their productivity after the first year […]

Jonas Valanciunas Expected to Play on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (ankle) was a full participant for Monday's practice. There was some doubt that Valanciunas wouldn't be ready for the season opener, but there's hope now. He's expected to suit up for Wednesday's contest despite missing the preseason. Valanciunas should get plenty of run in Memphis, but is only a middle […]

Hassan Whiteside Expected to Play in Season Opener

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (ankle) was a full participant during Monday's practice. Whiteside has been bothered by an ankle issue throughout the preseason, but it seems to be getting better. He should be fine for the regular season opener against the Denver Nuggets. He has a tough time stay healthy, but has plenty […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Won't Be Limited

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and center Anthony Davis won't have any minute restrictions for Tuesday's season opener against the Clippers. James is in his mid-30s, so it's not surprising if the Lakers begin to rest him more than he did in the past. Davis seems to always get hit with a few injuries […]

Harry Giles is Limited on Monday

Sacramento Kings center Harry Giles (knee) was a limited participant during Monday's practice. Giles is making progress, but was still held out of the contact portions of practice. The Kings are going to be cautious with Giles, so don't expect him to be ready for Wednesday's opener. He'll likely be limited once he's cleared to […]

Bo Horvat, Brock Boeser Push Canucks Back To Winning Ways

Vancouver Canucks forwards Bo Horvat and Brock Boeser made sure the team would bounce back from a 1-0 loss suffered on Saturday by scoring in Sunday's matchup against the Rangers.

Kevon Looney Should Be Ready by Thursday

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) was able to get through the team's scrimmage on Sunday. Looney will probably start at center for the regular season opener against the Clippers on Thursday, according to head coach Steve Kerr. The Warriors are a bit banged up at center, so Looney is a safe late round […]

New Jersey Devils center Jack Hughes celebrated his first NHL goal on Saturday, which ended up being the game-winner in a 1-0 win over Vancouver. Hughes netted on a power-play in the opening frame after Taylor Hall and Sami Vatanen set him up. Playing against his brother's team, Hughes picked up five and a half […]

Slow Start for Sebastian Aho Continues Against Ducks

Carolina Hurricanes forward Sebastian Aho failed to record a point on Friday against the Ducks despite seeing just over 23 minutes of ice time.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/19/19): MLB DFS Lineups

The ALCS remains alive thanks to a first-innings explosion from the Yankees offense against Justin Verlander last night. Now the teams head back to Houston for Game 6 as the Astros look to clinch the series without having to put their other ace, Gerrit Cole, on the mound again. This game could be very entertaining. […]

Offensive Explosion From Casey Mittelstadt Lifts Sabres

Buffalo Sabres forward Casey Mittelstadt factored in on all three of Buffalo's goals Thursday night, scoring two goals and an assist. Mittelstadt had gone six games without a point after picking up two assists in the season-opener. Five points in eight games are an encouraging start to the season for the young pivot, but there […]

Marquese Chriss Makes Final Cut

Golden State Warriors forward/center Marquese Chriss made the cut for the regular season roster, according to Shams Charania. Chriss played very well in the preseason and the Warriors will need him to open the season. Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) is sidelined, so there will be minutes for Chriss in the rotation. He's more of a deep […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Participates in Activities on Friday

Golden State Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) was able to participate in a light workout after shootaround on Friday. Cauley-Stein suffered a left foot injury in late September and hasn't done much work since then. He's expected to miss the first few weeks of the season, but it could be longer. It's unclear at the […]
