What We Know

Danilo Gallinari and Darrell Arthur are out tonight against the Spurs
Gallinari has been ruled out with a strained left groin. Wilson chandler will start in Gallinari's place but will have a tough match up with Kawhi Leonard. Arthur has also been ruled out, the rest of the Nuggets are fully expected to play tonight.

Marc Gasol, Tony Allen and Chandler Parsons are out for rest tonight For Memphis
The Grizzlies will rest these three against the Timberwolves on the second half of a back. We're still waiting on official word on the Memphis starters.

Joel Embiid is out tonight against Miami
Embiid is out, Robert Covington is questionable, and Nerlens Noel is probable for Philly tonight. If Covington sits, consider Jahlil Okafor, but I'd hold off on Jah and Nerlens if they're just splitting time at the five.

Kemba Walker will play tonight for the Hornets.
Walker was questionable with an illness but seems to feel good enough to go tonight. Miles Plumlee may also go tonight for Charlotte if the trade is finalized in time. This could hurt Frank Kaminskys value. If Kaminsky starts he remains an excellent play.

Zach Lavine is out for Minnesota tonight.
Lavine has been ruled out after leaving Friday's game with a knee contusion. Brandon Rush will make a great value play if news breaks that he is starting in Lavines place.

What We're Waiting to Know

Thaddeus Young and Rodney Stuckey are questionable tonight for the Pacers.
If word comes down that these guys are sitting, C.J. miles becomes a nice play for tournaments as he sees a 2% usage bump with those two off the court.

The "Every Lineup" Guys

Kevin Love
Cleveland travels in to New York for a nationally televised game and all signs point to Kevin Love making a return after back spasms sidelined him for two and a half games. Prior to leaving the OKC game early Love was really performing at a nice pace for several games with four straight double doubles. The Knicks are a bottom ten defense against opposing fours. This game has a 218 over/under, and being in New York, I would look for the Knicks to keep it competitive, allowing Love to run the boards for his usual allotment of minutes.

Jeff Teague
Jeff Teague has been in the zone lately, and the price hasn't really caught up to the performance. Last night he dropped 24 points in 34 minutes against the Nets, and tonight he gets another nice match up with the Detroit Pistons. Over his last 10 games he has paid over 5X points per dollar 6 times, with 4 double doubles. As I said last night, while he continues to come in at the current bargain price, performing as he has, he will continue to be a solid cash game option.
