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!
Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock tonight.
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!
KCP has been out for quite a while, and it looks like he will return here against the Kings. The Kings are bad against SG's, but I also expect KCP to be on a minutes limit. I don't think he has the upside, and doubt they push him too hard in his first game back. Stanley Johnson and Reggie Bullock will both lose minutes, and I don't have interest in either.
Iguodala is just taking a day off, and I don't think this really does much. Iggy usually plays 25 minutes, but I think they just get spread out between 2 or 3 bench guys. The starters are still great plays, but this news doesn't change much.
Patty Mills and Dejounte Murray will both see a big uptick in minutes, and I have interest in both. Mills is the safer option, but you never know who Pop will throw out there. Danny Green also has his minutes solidified, but he is also bad.
I don't expect Adams to play today, but it is definitely possible. If he does play, I have interest in him. They will need him out there to stay with Rudy Gobert, as he is the only one who has the proper size. If he misses, Enes Kanter is someone you have to consider. He should play 30 minutes, and has a ton of upside.
Leonard has been insane lately. He is the first player in Spurs history to put up 30 points in 6 straight games, which is amazing when you consider the history of that organization. He should have no problem continuing that trend tonight, and a horrible Nets team. Both of the every lineup guys will come from the Spurs, and that should speak to just how bad the Nets defense is. While this game will likely be a blowout, I think both of these guys see enough minutes to easily hit value. If the game stays close, the sky is the limit. Leonard will see the defense of Bogan Bogdanovic and RHJ, who he will dominate.
No way I don’t have a lot of exposure to this guy tonight. Lee has been phenomenal since Gasol got hurt, hitting 6x and 7.5x value in the last 2 games. I see no reason he doesn’t do the same, especially against the Nets. The Nets are the worst defense in the NBA, and they also play at the fastest pace. He will see a lot of Brook Lopez tonight, who we all know is by no means a good defender. Lee should be in for an easy double double tonight, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him destroy value once again. David Lee will be my highest owned center in both cash games and tournaments.

Ha. Leonard is a scratch...Fdand Dk is stealing our money by not letting us change our lineup before the game starts. As much as I love it, not fair so not playing until they fix it.
In FD's defense, they added the O for out onto Leonard around half an hour before roster lock.
Now this news that Lee isn't starting that just came out, that wasn't avoidable.
Good luck with that emailing customers support does nothing
I appreciate the free advice, but your every lineup guy doesn't even play? Pretty lame.
Hey guys, this was written well before the Kawhi news came out
