What We Know

Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard will play

Davis and Howard will play tonight, which puts the likes of Terrence Jones and Mike Muscala out of play. While Jones is not a horrible play, you can find a better way to go.

Alex Len starting for Tyson Chandler

Len is starting for Tyson Chandler, and I like the spot. Indiana has played fast, so this game should have plenty of rebounds and peripherals to be spread around. Len is a fantastic play in both cash games and tournaments.

Dirk Nowitzki is out

Same ol, same ol here for Dirk. He is going to miss another game tonight. Dwight Powell will continue to see an uptick in minutes, and Harrison Barnes will be held around 35 minutes on a nightly basis.

Rodney Stuckey will return

Stuckey will serve as the backup SG,so this shouldn't affect anyone too much. C.J. Miles and Aaron Brooks will lose a few minutes each.

The "Every Lineup" Guys

Russell Westbrook

Russell Westbrook is going to win a lot of people tournaments this year. He is going to have some huge games, and this could be a spot for one. THe Nets are one of the worst teams in the league, as evident by there 3rd worst defensive rating against PG's. Westbrook will have his way and I see no reason that he doesn't hit 6 fantasy points tonight. He is the top option for me across the board and i will do my best to have him everywhere.

Alex Len

While I am not AS enthused by Len, he is a really good play. With Tyson Chandler out, Len will get the starting gig and play over 30 minutes. While Myles Turner is a pretty decent defender, Len doesn't rely on points and is cheap enough to hit value in a half of play. I wouldn't be surprised to see Len shatter value tonight, and I will be on him.
