What We Know

Gordon Hayward and Rodney Hood will sit against the Warriors

Hayward and Hood are both huge parts of this offense, so there has to be someone that takes over here. I think Joe Ingles and Joe Johnson will both get a ton of minutes, and they are both great plays here. The Warriors give up a lot of points and play at a very fast pace.

What We're Waiting to Know

Marc Gasol is questionable to play against the Trail Blazers

If he plays, he makes for a great play. If he misses, I expect JaMychal Green and Zach Randolph to handle the big man minutes, and they would both be hypothetical great plays. I would prefer Randolph, but Green has plenty of upside too.

Jrue Holiday is questionable against the 76ers

If Holiday misses this game, Tim Frazier would likely pick up a bunch of minutes and be a great play. Anthony Davis may also pick up some more usage, but he is a great play anyways.

Maurice Harkless is questionable against the Grizzlies

If Harkless misses, I think Crabbe would turn into an interesting play, though the Grizzlies are a tough defense to target anyone against.

The "Every Lineup" Guys

John Wall

Lock in Wall. He has been on a roll as of late, and is taking on a prime defense. The Nuggets play fast, and offer no resistance at the rim. Wall will be able to penetrate with ease and kick it out for a good amount of assists. Wall is up there in price, but he isn't to the point where he has to hit 60 to hit value. He is a very consistent option as of late and should be able to have another big game here.

Joel Embiid

I am just going to keep playing him until he hits a price where I feel uncomfortable. He is still about 1 or 2 thousand from that, and I will play him again tonight. Anthony Davis is obviously a huge presence down low, but he won't cover Embiid and doesn't concern himself too much with banging down low. Embiid has been extremely consistent and remains a good option tonight against the Pelicans.
