Al Horford An All-Around Contributor In Game 5

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford finished with 16 points, seven boards, five assists, two blocks, and one steal during Wednesday's win over Miami.

He's played exceptionally well […]

Marcus Smart Returns For Game 5, Drops Only Five Points

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) managed to shed a questionable tag and suit up for Wednesday's playoff meeting against Miami. However, the 28-year-old struggled, finishing with only five points throughout 24 minutes of work. After missing Game 4 on Monday due to a sprained left ankle, Smart did all he could to help his […]

Robert Williams III Suits Up For Game 5

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) managed to suit up for Wednesday's postseason meeting versus Miami. He played 27 minutes, so his ailing left knee didn't appear to be much of an issue. In the end, the big man had just six points, although he made up for it by grabbing 10 boards and […]

Jaylen Brown Scores Game-High 25 Points On Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown finished with a game-high 25 points during the win over Miami on Wednesday night. After a horrendous Game 5 showing, where the 25-year-old went a hideous 5-for-20 from the field, he bounced back admirably in this one. While Brown isn't as consistent of a DFS producer as his teammate, Jayson […]

Jayson Tatum Falls Short Of Triple-Double Versus Heat

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum fell just short of a triple-double during Wednesday's win over the Heat, finishing with 22 points, 12 boards, and nine assists.

Nonetheless, despite Tatum's shoddy percentages, he […]

Jameis Winston Participating At OTAs

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) was spotted doing on-field drills during OTAs on Wednesday, contradicting previous reports suggesting he wouldn't be attending.

Justin Herbert Expected To Run More Of The Offense

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is expected to be more involved in running the offense this season. With head coach Brandon Staley back at the helm, Herbert hasn't spent time learning a new system, unlike in the past. Instead, the 2020 Rookie of the Year devoted much of the offseason to his footwork, throwing […]

James Washington In A Walking Boot

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver James Washington (foot) was observed wearing a walking book during OTAs on Wednesday.

Antonio Gibson May Get Less Work In 2022

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson had a productive 2021 season. He ran for over 1,000 yards while totaling 10 touchdowns. He also had a career-high 42 catches for 294 yards. However, head coach Ron Rivera recently stated that the team would utilize a committee approach out of the backfield during the 2022-23 campaign, meaning […]

Gabe Vincent Questionable For Game 5

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (hamstring) is questionable for the postseason battle against Miami. The 25-year-old is dealing with a left hamstring strain. However, he hasn't missed any time because of it, so DFS managers should expect to see him out there for Game 5. With Kyle Lowry (hamstring) failing to log his usual allotment […]

Max Strus Questionable, Again

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's meeting against Boston. Strus is making yet another appearance on the injury report this postseason because of a nagging right hamstring strain.

Kyle Lowry Questionable For Game 5

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is questionable heading into Wednesday's playoff battle against Boston. The veteran has been hit hard by a left hamstring issue, causing him to miss most of the postseason.

Robert Williams III Back On The Injury Report

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) has been classified as questionable ahead of Wednesday's playoff meeting with Miami. Although the big man's ailing left knee is "feeling good," he also indicated that he'd be taking things "day by day." As a result, DFS managers should plan on regular appearances on the injury report for […]

Tyler Herro Uncertain For Wednesday's Outing

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) may not play on Wednesday versus the Boston Celtics. Herro is currently nursing a left groin strain, which recently held him off the floor on Monday night. While the reigning Sixth Man of the Year has a chance at playing, DFS managers shouldn't assume he will. Nevertheless, without Herro […]

Marcus Smart In Danger Of Sitting Again

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is uncertain for Wednesday's playoff showdown versus Miami. The Defensive Player of the Year injured his right ankle during Game 3, forcing him to miss the C's most recent outing on Monday night. Derrick White filled in for Smart in that one, and he ended with 13 points, eight […]

Matisse Thybulle Could Be Moved For The Right Deal

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle could be traded over the summer. However, the front office will only look to move the 25-year-old to upgrade the roster and not to get out from underneath his current deal. Thybulle is widely considered one of the best defenders in the league, finishing the 2021-22 season by averaging nearly […]

Tim Connelly Heading To Minnesota

Tim Connelly will sign a five-year, $40 million contract to become the Timberwolves new president of basketball operations.

He has also been […]

Deandre Ayton Disappointed Phoenix Didn't Offer Max Deal

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton was disappointed the team didn't offer him a max contract, according to his agent Bill Duffy. The 23-year-old averaged 17.2 points and 10.2 rebounds during the 2021-22 season. He also shot a career-high 63.4% from the field and 36.8% from deep. However, the former No. 1 overall pick hasn't played […]

Gary Payton II Not Ready To Return

Golden State Warriors guard Gary Payton II (elbow) won't play on Tuesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Andre Iguodala (neck) remains out as well, and with Otto Porter Jr. (foot) uncertain for Game 4, the Dubs may be severely short-handed defensively. Fortunately, Payton appears to be moving in the right direction, although head coach Steve Kerr […]

Andre Iguodala Remains Out On Tuesday

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala (neck) remains out ahead of Tuesday's series-clinching playoff matchup against Dallas. Iguodala has been out with a cervical injury, although this injury is nothing new. Gary Payton II (elbow) won't play either, and with Otto Porter Jr. (foot) questionable ahead of Game 4, the Warriors may be without most […]

Max Strus Playing On Monday, As Expected

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (hamstring) is good to go for Monday's playoff meeting with the Boston Celtics. The 26-year-old has consistently been on the injury report over the last few weeks because of a nagging hamstring issue. However, it hasn't stopped him from playing. Strus is currently averaging 12.2 points so far throughout the […]

Kyle Lowry Available For Game 4

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) is available on Monday night versus Boston. The 36-year-old missed plenty of time recently because of a nagging hamstring ailment. Unquestionably, the injury has impacted Lowry's play, with the veteran averaging only seven points during the playoffs. For obvious reasons, he hasn't looked like his usual self, so DFS […]

Jimmy Butler Back On Monday Night

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) will play on Monday night in Boston. The 32-year-old didn't return during Saturday's win over the Celtics because of right knee irritation, so his availability was in doubt for this one. However, he's good to go and will reclaim his place in the starting lineup. Butler has played well […]

Derrick White Starting In Game 4

Boston Celtics guard Derrick White will start during Monday's playoff showdown versus the visiting Miami Heat. Marcus Smart (ankle) is dealing with a sprain and won't play, so White will get extra work in Game 4. White averaged 14.4 points, 5.6 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.0 steals as a member of the starting lineup during […]

Tyler Herro Sidelined With A Groin Injury

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) won't play on Monday evening against the Celtics. The 22-year-old has struggled throughout most of the postseason, averaging 13.5 points and shooting a hideous 23.2% from downtown. To make matters worse, the reigning Sixth Man of the Year is now dealing with a left groin strain, so he could […]

Marcus Smart Won't Play On Monday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) won't play during Monday's postseason matchup versus the Miami Heat. He injured his right ankle in Game 3, and while he did finish the game, it seems it's bothering him more than it was. Derrick White, who averaged 14.4 points, 5.6 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.0 steals, will take […]

Allen Robinson II Believes He Will Benefit Under Sean McVay

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II is looking to erase a lackluster 2021-22 campaign with the Chicago Bears, one where the veteran had one of the worst seasons of his career. However, he feels playing for Sean McVay will do wonders for his production. "He allows players to play. Each and every day […]

Kenny Pickett May Start Right Off The Bat

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett may begin his career as a starter. However, as expected, he'll have to get through Mason Rudolph and Mitchell Trubisky to earn the right. Pickett, who was the 20th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, finished his final college year by throwing for 4,319 yards, 42 touchdowns, and seven […]

Jameis Winston Expected To Skip OTAs

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) is expected to skip upcoming OTAs.

Fortunately, he is progressing well, but the team will continue to take a cautious approach regarding his […]

Seahawks Adding Marquise Goodwin

Free-agent wide receiver Marquise Goodwin is signing with the Seahawks, with the terms of the deal undisclosed. The veteran finished last season in Chicago by catching 20 receptions for 313 yards and a touchdown throughout 14 appearances. Goodwin, 31, is still considered one of the quickest wideouts in the league, so he should fit in […]
