Lofton will shift to the G League Hustle on Friday morning before returning to the Grizzlies for the evening's tilt against the Clippers. Lofton will likely play a sizable role in the Hustle's playoff game Friday morning before returning to the Grizzlies as bench depth. He's unlikely to see the floor for any meaningful run Friday evening versus the Clippers, and he'll likely move between the two levels as long as the Hustle are still alive in the playoffs.

Chicago, IL

White logged 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Lakers. White logged the most minutes of any Chicago reserve in the loss, and he made the most of the opportunity with 17 points -- the third-highest total on the team. The point guard added nine dimes to finish one assist short of his first double-double since December of 2020. White has been quite good for Chicago of late, averaging 14.9 points, 2.6 triples and 5.7 assists over his past seven games. He's playing enough minutes to justify a pickup for fantasy managers in need of three-pointers and dimes.

Los Angeles, CA

There's plenty of animosity between the NBA's two Los Angeles teams, but it would hardly be fair to call the Lakers and Clippers rivals. After all, one team has 17 championships and the other has none. The Lakers and Clippers have never faced off in a postseason series, and they've only even made the postseason in the same year eight times. For most of basketball history, the Lakers have contended while the Clippers have tanked, and the moment the Clippers were ready to join them on top of the mountain, the Lakers tumbled back down to Earth.

Boston, MA

Smart contributed 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Thursday's 140-99 win over the Bucks. Smart nearly tallied a double-double in 27 minutes during Thursday's blowout win, leading the team in assists while finishing as one of five Celtics in double figures in scoring. Smart, who ended up two dimes short of a double-double, has secured 10 points and five assists in three of his last five games.

Trammell (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday. According to Curtis Crabtree of FOX 13 Seattle, manager Scott Servais said Thursday that Trammell is 2-to-3 weeks away from starting a rehab assignment, putting the outfielder on track to return in late April. Trammell won't be guaranteed a spot on the MLB roster once healthy with the offseason additions of Teoscar Hernandez, AJ Pollock and Cooper Hummel providing plenty of depth in the outfield.

Massey will be on the bench Saturday against the Twins. Massey batted sixth and played second base in the season opener but finished the day 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. Nicky Lopez will take over at the keystone in the second game of the year.

Nootbaar will sit Saturday against the Blue Jays. Nootbaar received plenty of attention from fantasy drafters over the winter and followed that up by batting second and reaching base three times in the season opener. The Cardinals have a crowded outfield, however, and they'll give Alec Burleson the start in left field in the second game of the season. Exactly how often Nootbaar is in the lineup will go a long way toward determining his fantasy value this season, and it's not a good sign in that respect that he's on the bench already even with a righty (Kevin Gausman) on the mound for the opposition. It may take a week or two to get a clear sense of how often each Cardinal will find themselves in the lineup.

Iowa City, IA

South Carolina came into Friday's Final Four matchup against Iowa with a national championship resume: 42 straight wins, three-time Naismith Coach of the Year Dawn Staley, 2022 Naismith Player of the Year Aliyah Boston and what's widely considered the nation's best defense. What the Gamecocks didn't have is Caitlin Clark, and that made all the difference.

Carroll is hitting seventh for the Diamondbacks in Thursday's season opener against the Dodgers. Carroll should be the primary option at leadoff in Arizona as the 2023 season rolls along, but Kyle Lewis is getting the nod there Thursday with the division-rival Dodgers starting left-hander Julio Urias. Jake McCarthy is batting ninth.

Plenty of NFL teams have gone out of their way to find arguments for why they haven't pursued 26-year-old, former NFL MVP Lamar Jackson this offseason after the Baltimore Ravens put him on the non-exclusive franchise tag. There are also many strong counterarguments to the excuses, and Jackson's former Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman (2019-2022) provided perhaps the biggest one out there against his longtime quarterback: his play style and injury-risk level.

PHOENIX -- Damien Harris probably wasn't the ideal running back that Fantasy managers wanted to see end up in Buffalo, but Sean McDermott is excited about his new addition. The coach expects Harris to provide an explosive punch to his backfield. Harris signed a one-year, $1.77 million deal as a...

Graveman (1-1) allowed three earned runs on two hits and two walks across 0.2 innings to take the loss Friday against the Astros. Graveman entered the game in the seventh inning with a 3-2 lead, but he allowed three consecutive batters to reach base to load the bases with two outs. He was pulled at that point and was charged with the runs after Yordan Alvarez cleared the bases with a double. Graveman has pitched the eighth and seventh innings in two appearances this season, so he doesn't appear to be in the mix for saves for the time being.

Helsley (0-1) blew the save and took the loss in Thursday's 10-9 loss against the Blue Jays. He allowed two runs on two hits and one walk without a strikeout in his one inning. Tasked with nailing down a 9-8 win, Helsley proceeded to walk the first batter he faced...

Not a single player wore No. 0 during the Dallas Cowboys' first 63 seasons. That will change in 2023, however, as safety Jayron Kearse will get the title of "Agent 0" for the Cowboys, the team announced Friday. Kearse is changing numbers after wearing No. 27 for six of his first seven NFL seasons.
