What We Know

Marc Gasol will rest tonight against the Cavs

With Gasol out, the line has jumped to CLE -16. This game could easily turn into a blowout, though it could also stay rather close. I expect Zach Randolph and and JaMychal Green to get most of the minutes, and both make pretty interesting plays here. You can consider both in cash games and tournaments.

Victor Oladipo has been ruled out against the Blazers

Oladipo has played big minutes for the Thunder lately, and only played 10 minutes in last game. Last game, Morrow played 28 minutes and Andre Roberson played 33. Both are decent plays, but I definitely think Morrow has a higher ceiling. Westbrook will also pick up a few extra shots, but he doesn't really need the help.

What We're Waiting to Know

Nikola Vucevic and Bismack Biyombo are both questionable against the Hawks

If only one is out, the other makes for a great play. If both play, neither interest me very much. If both are out, Serge Ibaka will play the 5 a lot, and Stephen Zimmerman may also pick up some minutes and I think he is an interesting tournament flier. Ibaka is viable in both cash and tournaments.

Rajon Rondo is a GTD against the Timberwolves

Rondo is a huge part of this offense, and if he plays, he is a decent option. If he misses, I think you look at Butler and Wade to benefit most. Grant and Canaan might also get some run, but not enough minutes to be worth it.

T.J. Warren is questionable against the Knicks

Warren has a hot start to the season, but has simmered down since then. He still plays big minutes and shoots plenty. He has been out for a while, who we know what happens if he misses. If he does play, he will likely just take 5 or 6 minutes away from 3 or 4 guys.

The "Every Lineup" Guys

Russell Westbrook

Yes, Westbrook is expensive, but we know how high his upside is. Against the Blazers and Damian Lillard defense, he has the opportunity to explode. He may cost you an arm and leg, but you won't care when he puts up another triple double and 70 fantasy points. With that being said, he does force you to pay down elsewhere. Personally, I will have him everywhere tonight. I am going to do what is necessary to get him in.

Kristaps Porzingis

Porzingis is not really a must play, but I think he is the 2nd best point per dollar play. Porzingis has a lot of upside, and his safety is pretty nice in this match up. The Phoenix Suns are pretty short handed down low, at least defensively. There is nobody to stretch the floor and Porzingis will have plenty of open shots on the perimeter. He will also get some extra rebounding opportunities with the weak interior of the Suns. He is fairly priced, and makes for a great price tonight.
