What We Know

Dennis Schroder has been suspended for 1 game

Schroder is obviously a huge part of this offense, so his absence will cause a lot. For one, Malcolm Delaney will immediately step in and have a big role. We will get to him in a bit. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Kent Bazemore also figure to play a few more minutes and have the ball in his hands a little bit more. The Heat are a slow team, but can give up plenty of fantasy points.

What We're Waiting to Know

Chris Paul is officially listed as questionable

CP3 has been out for a couple months, so we could see things get shaken up here. If Paul remains out, we know the drill. If Paul plays, Rivers and Felton both lose a ton of appeal while DeAndre Jordan gains a little bit. He plays well with Paul and has a much higher ceiling when he's active.

The "Every Lineup" Guys

Dario Saric

With Joel Embiid out, Nerlens Noel and Ersan Ilyasova being traded, Saric is a lock for huge minutes. This guy is a must start in my book, as I expect him to see upwards of 38-40 minutes and a whole bunch of usage. He has been over 35 fantasy points in each of his last 3 games, although he struggled from the field in 2 of them. I don’t think this is a fluke for Saric and it looks like the 76ers agree. They have given him a huge piece of the future and I think he handles it well. As for tonight, he faces off with the Wizards. They are not too great down low and can give up plenty of interior points, as well as open 3 pointers. Saric is a lock in both cash games and tournaments.

Malcolm Delaney

This one is pretty cut and dry. With Dennis Schroder suspended, Delaney will step in and play at least 30 minutes. While the Heat do play slow and are pretty good on defense, they can give it up to guards. Delaney is near-minimum price on all sites around the industry and only need about 18 to get it done in cash games. I think he gets 25 with ease, with the upside for 30. This isn't a guy who is an unknown either. He has been solid for many years and has already shown what he's capable of in the NBA.
