Albums by Wet Leg, Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, and Harry Styles are among Yahoo Entertainment’s top picks. (Photos, clockwise: Domino Records, Columbia, Interscope, Sony) It’s that most wonderful time of a not-so-wonderful year, when we make our lists and check them twice… our year-end best albums lists, that is! With concerts still on hold for much of 2022, we often had to get our music fixes safely at home — but thankfully, many talented artists across genres provided the ideal shut-in… Source link

The NHL’s Christmas break is nearing. In a few days we will be sans hockey for the long weekend. Wednesday, though, we have seven games on the slate. Here are a handful of guys to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Logan Thompson, VGK vs. ARI ($34): Thompson has slowed down a smidge after a hot start, but he still has a 2.64 GAA and .917 save percentage. This is the kind of matchup that can help boost his numbers, though. The Coyotes rank 26th in goals scored, which is actually… Source link

Lauri Markkanen and the Utah Jazz travel to Detroit to face the Pistons for Monday’s first matchup of the night at 7 p.m. ET. Tuesday brings a modest five-game schedule in the NBA. Jimmy Butler will take on one of his former teams with the Bulls, who are off to an 11-18 start that could make them surprise sellers at the trade deadline. The Warriors will once again be in action without Stephen Curry (shoulder) when they travel to New York to take on the red-hot Knicks. The marquee matchup… Source link

Domantas Sabonis has been dominant recently, and a Charlotte matchup on Monday looks like a favorable game for him. The NBA starts off the week with nine games on the schedule Monday. The marquee matchup of the night could take place in New Orleans when the Pelicans host the Bucks. However, both teams will be shorthanded with Khris Middleton (knee) and Brandon Ingram (toe) out. Another matchup with plenty of star power will feature the Suns hosting the Lakers. The Lakers will be playing… Source link

I’m in a NFL contest submitting five ATS picks each week. My last 3-2 week came back in Week 8 and it’s been a challenge since. Fortunately, the Week 15 slate offers more than a few enticing options giving me some confidence for a major bounce back. The lines are set spreads released each Wednesday and selections are submitted Friday night. Here are my five ATS contest picks for Week 15 in the NFL: Lions pick ’em at Jets On paper, the Lions look like a mixed bag of good and bad when not… Source link

LaMelo Ball is finally back in action after missing 11 games. Buckle up for a packed Friday with 10 NBA games. After going into OT Wednesday, the Knicks and Bulls will face each other again in Chicago. The Nets will also be in action on the road to play the Raptors and their 10-4 home record. Out West, the Lakers will try to continue working their way back into the playoff picture when they host the Nuggets. Anthony Davis has been the leader of their improved play by averaging 31.8 points,… Source link

Tyler Herro and the Miami Heat play the Houston Rockets on Thursday night. After a busy Wednesday, things quiet down with only four games in the NBA on Thursday. There are some exciting matchups, though, highlighted by the Grizzlies hosting the Bucks. The Suns will also be in action, looking to snap a five-game losing streak when they take on the Clippers. The Jazz and Pelicans will face off again, coming on the heels of the Jazz blowing out the Pelicans on Tuesday. Let’s dig into some of… Source link

Anfernee Simons’ high-percentage shooting makes him an appealing player for Wednesday’s matchup against the Spurs. We have our usual robust Wednesday night slate on tap, as 10 games are on the docket. There are several advantageous positional matchups to exploit and a good trio of candidates that may be best to steer clear of due to a combination of circumstances/salary.  Guards Terry Rozier, CHA vs. DET ($33): Rozier continues to be a linchpin for the Hornets amid many injuries, and… Source link

Terry Rozier and the Charlotte Hornets host the Detroit Pistons in one of the first matchups of the night at 7 p.m. ET. There will be no shortage of action across the NBA, with 10 games on the schedule Wednesday. One team to keep an eye out for is the Warriors, who will be playing the second game of a back-to-back set when they face the Pacers in Indiana. Given how they previously handled back-to-back sets, we could see multiple starters sit out. The Kings will also be playing for the second… Source link

By no means is Wednesday a busy night for the NHL. There are three games taking place, and for whatever reason two of them are Canadian-on-Canadian matchups. Even so, the DFS opportunities are there. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your lineups. GOALIE Cam Talbot, OTT vs. MON ($29): In his last start, Talbot got the benefit of hosting the Ducks. He did his job, posting a shutout. This matchup is only slightly trickier. The Canadiens have averaged 2.86 goals and 29.3 shots on… Source link
