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!
Whiteside will suit up and go tonight against Detroit. Willie Reed will return to the bench and lose all value. Tyler Johnson still remains a game time decision.
Zeller will miss his third straight game with a quad contusion. Look for Roy Hibbert to draw the start with Spencer Hawes seeing more minutes off the bench.
The Nuggets have been without Emanuel Mudiay, and now Jokic is suffering from a strained hip flexor. Look for Kenneth Faried to see extended run and if he should draw the start in Jokics place Jusuf Nurkic becomes a great play.
Horford was originally listed as probable but now will sit for rest tonight against Milwaukee.
Booker could miss another game due to illness, this wouldn't have a huge fantasy impact aside from maybe adding to Gorgui Diengs value, since he would now be dealing primarily with Justin Hamilton.
Curry is dealing with some quad soreness and could miss his first game of the season. If he sits, Shaun Livingston would likely draw the start and become an interesting play at point guard. The Warriors starters would all see a nice bump in usage making KD, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson more intriguing as well.
Chandler is dealing with a neck strain sustained in Thursdays game against Phoenix, but is expected to play through it.
I usually base these picks off of the players that appear the most in the top ten lineups put out by our projection system earlier in the day, Today, less than three hours before lock the system is locking ABC in to the top 25 line ups, and with good reason. Giannis has seen a consistent run of minutes in the mid thirties in 8 of his last 9 games. One of the most versatile players in the NBA, the Freak plays a complete game, contributing in all facets. His three point shot has suffered in the short term, going only 5 for 19 from beyond in his last 5 games. Bostons a league average match up and really doesn't have anyone capable of shutting down alphabet, if he can rediscover his three point shot he could be in for a monster night.
