Thompson has been sidelined for two full seasons after tearing his left ACL in the 2019 NBA Finals and his right Achilles just before the 2020-21 season. The sharpshooting guard joins a Golden State team that already owns the best record in the NBA, hoping to take it over the top as a title contender. This means Fantasy Basketball GMs who have used an IR spot – a very valuable IR spot, at that, given all the COVID-19 absences – on Thompson to this point in the season will finally be rewarded for their patience....

GK: Igor Akinfeev - CSKA Moscow - 1 Game, 4 Saves, 1 Clean Sheet = 9 Points Akinfeev did something against Benfica that he hadn’t done in his last 43 Champions League appearances: keep a clean sheet. Obviously you shouldn’t be rushing to add him to your Fantasy team, but congratulations are certainly in order for the Russian goalkeeper. DF: Nacho - Real Madrid - 1 Game, 1 Goal, 1 Clean Sheet = 14 Points...

Now it’s time for the fantasy football community to move on from snake drafts to auction drafts. In this article I’ll discuss everything you need to know about auction drafts from how to set up an auction league to what strategies you will need to employ in order to have success in one. What is a fantasy auction draft? In an auction draft, you get the chance to roster any player you want....

Here’s breaking down the Colts’ young gunslinger vs. the Packers’ steady stud: Remember when Luck was a fourth- or fifth-round sleeper for big numbers last season? The secret’s out, and you’ll have to invest a much higher pick on him in 2015.

Based on their current consensus ADPs on Fantasy Pros, these 20 players are being taken too early in the first nine rounds of standard, 12-team leagues. With better values around them, you should decide to let another owner deal with their red flags unless these guys see considerable slides. 2016 FANTASY FOOTBALL RANKINGS: Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker Warning: Big names and familiar fantasy producers are fair game....

Not every gameplay decision is airtight in terms of how it sits in the narrative, however. As is such with science-fiction, fans must suspend their disbelief when it comes to interdimensional travel through Mass Effect relays and fictional alien species. But one strange incident in Mass Effect 2 is receiving attention for how out of place it seems, and how easily it could be overcome. Lately, a fan has shared that their disbelief cannot be suspended for a particular circumstance in Mass Effect 2....

For those unfamiliar with the spin-off game, Super Mario Land was a launch title for the Game Boy back in 1989. Like the main line Super Mario titles, the game is a 2D platformer in which Mario makes his way across 12 levels, avoiding enemies and pitfalls. Unlike the other titles, Super Mario Land is set in Sarasaland, with environments depicted in line art as opposed to the traditional blocky pixels, and even features two Gradius-style shooter levels....

Each year, Big Brother premieres in mid-summer. The show leads viewers to believe the cast has been chosen just weeks before, as each member is shown receiving a key to the house in their daily life, and then being whisked away to film. Past that, the show’s casting director, Robyn Kass, has advertised the show’s casting process past February. A video of the conversation, which revealed at least two contestants were accepted to the show in February, was posted on Twitter by user @maximusmom22 on Monday....

March 14, or 3/14, is a reference to the fact that Commander Keen has an IQ of 314 - itself a reference to the mathematical constant known as pi. The Keen series is known for its sense of humor, colorful graphics, and tight gameplay; widely considered to be one of the best MS-DOS games ever made. Considering the thousands of MS-DOS games out there, this is no small feat....

She-Hulk is one of the few full-fledged comedies in Marvel’s lineup. While the humor works for some and falls flat for others, it’s unquestionably pushed action to one side to focus on the jokes. Jennifer Walters’ fourth wall break humor keeps insisting that her legal practice is the show’s center, and she’s usually right. RELATED: She-Hulk: Does Emil Blonsky Have A Case?

Yee had dropped hints on Twitter prior to the on-air announcement that she will be departing the show, which she co-launched in 2010, to start her own syndicated program. The Breakfast Club will continue on without her, and her co-hosts Charlamagne and DJ Envy congratulated Yee for what she called a “tremendous opportunity.” Fans praised Yee’s contributions, and many also expressed their relief that iHeartMedia’s The Breakfast Club will carry on....

T Rex will take the stage again on Wednesday night after fans were convinced the secret celebrity is the flamboyant Jojo Siwa. The rising star started her career on Dance Moms, but is now a 16-year-old musician with tons of colorful merchandise, a lengthy national tour and a successful YouTube channel. Seeing someone like Siwa on the show would make sense. She’s already a talented musician with international recognition. That isn’t the only qualification for the show, though....

I prefer points leagues because, in my experience, owners are less likely to check out. That’s not to say owners never check out in points leagues, but if someone has a big lead in Roto points at the All-Star break, it can be discouraging. In a points league, it’s a head-to-head format, and similar to fantasy football, you’re trying to run up the score on your opponent. Even more important, things can swing in a hurry....

The Chicago White Sox answered that question by paying Cuban prospect Jose Abreu with a six-year, $68 million contract this offseason. Abreu has garnered pre-draft attention in fantasy baseball leagues as a result, and now comes the tricky part. The first baseman's draft slot is going to be higher than most prospects because he's from Cuba and there's an element of the unknown. Owners are expecting another breakout, a la Yasiel Puig....

Who’s not: Only three White Sox played more than 148 games last year. Most players simply stagnated (Dayan Viciedo, Gordon Beckham, Adam Dunn), while others regressed (Paul Konerko). Who’s hurt: Back and knee injuries slowed Konerko last season. At 38, he won’t be a full-time player this year. … A shoulder injury limited John Danks to just 138.1 innings. He posted a 4.75 ERA, marking the third time in the past three years it’s been higher than 4....

That means congratulations are in order for Fantasy Basketball GMs who took a chance on Irving in their fantasy drafts this year, likely selecting the All-Star guard much later than he is typically available because of the uncertainty looming around his availability entering the season. Your team will receive an immediate late-season boost, giving you a prolific scorer and playmaker for your push to the playoffs. But to be clear, Irving will still only compete as a part-time player, playing strictly in road games (unless his vaccination status changes)....

Gone are the days of picking an obscure £5.0m that you think can make the difference - now it’s the time for the stars to shine. GK: Loris Karius - Liverpool, £6.1, owned in 3.12% of teams Liverpool’s defence was the butt of many a joke at the start of the season but they have quickly become a unit that no one will want to face. Since January, when Liverpool signed Virgil van Dijk and promoted Karius, they have the most clean sheets in the Premier League and are allowing less than a goal per game....

Maps can also reveal a lot about the game itself. Red Dead Redemption 2 has an old-fashioned in-game map designed in a style that is suitable for the era the game is set in. The player character, Arthur Morgan, will even draw on points of interest that the player comes across in the game’s open world.
