Anthony Davis is either doing this, or in the locker room. Here's to him doing this tonight.
Welcome to the daily updates and injury news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it!
By the way - we keep our projection system updated with all of the changes as they occur throughout the day right up until lineup lock. Every day. If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below!
Russell returned and played last game, but aggravated his injury and is questionable to play tonight. If he misses, we will see Clarkson, Williams, and Young all pick up minutes. Williams will be the main point guard and he is my favorite of the 3 if Russell misses. If Russell does play, I think he is an interesting tournament option as he will be low owned and has plenty of upside in this up and down match up with Westbrook.
While Ajinca doesn't play many minutes, he would if Jones missed. If just Ajinca misses, nobody really benefits. If both of these guys miss, you can lock in 35 minutes for Anthony Davis and the likes of Asik and Cunningham should be in play as well. Jones has been playing about 27 minutes on average, so there will e some valuable minutes up for grabs. Davis is the only guy I really love on this team and I don't know if this is the slate to reach for a guy like Omer Asik.
Joakim Noah has been dealing with an illness and has been downgraded to doubtful for the game against the Blazers. Guillermo Hernangomez will likely pick up a decent amount of minutes, but Porzingis is my favorite guy that will benefit. On the other side, Robin Lopez will benefit as well as Noah is definitely a better defender than anyone that is going to replace him.
Will update at 6 PM every day
Westbrook is sometimes difficult to fit on short slates, but I think you have to try to do it here. The Lakers offer no resistance and Westbrook has shown us over and over that he will take advantage if given the opportunity. With D'Angelo Russell questionable, it may be the likes of Lou Williams and Jordan Clarkson that garner the responsibility of guarding Westbrook. Either way, Westbrook will have hs way and I expect another big game tonight. This game currently has the highest over/under on the slate as well at 221. Get some exposure to this game in both tournaments and cash games.
Kristaps has finally been getting consistent minutes, and it is paying off huge. We can finally get some consistent production out of him and feel comfortable enough to play him in cash games. The Blazers are a bottom 10 team in the league against big men and Porzingis will destroy anyone who tries to cover him. he has an advantage against each defender and the Knicks will feed him and Carmelo. They are both great plays, but I would take Porzingis if I had to choose.
