Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/26/17

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!

What We Know

Kenneth Faried is out tonight for the Nuggets.
Faried has been ruled out for tonights game against the Grizzlies. Wilson Chandler becomes a nice option, especially if he draws the start. Darrell Arthur and Juan Hernangomez also pick up a slight boost in value with Faried off the court.

Kyle Lowry is out indefinitely.
Lowry sustained an injury to his wrist Feb 15th against Charlotte and aggravated it during the all star festivities. He is currently listed as out indefinitely with no timetable for return. Look for Corey Joseph to start in his place and DeMar DeRozan to take on more responsibilities with Lowry off the court.

Avery Bradley did not travel with the Celtics on their two game roadtrip.
Bradley did not travel with the team and was out Friday night against the Raptors, and has been ruled out again tonight against Detroit. Marcus Smart should see the bulk of Bradleys minutes tonight.

Victor Oladipo is out tonight against the Pelicans
Victor Oladipo will miss tonights game against New Orleans, the second game he will miss with back spasms. Alex Abrines should draw another start and Russell Westbrook sees a bump in usage with Oladipo off the court.

What We're Waiting to Know

Cody Zeller is doubful against the Clippers.
Cody Zeller is doubtful against the Clippers tonight, if he misses look for Frank Kaminzky to draw another start in his spot.

Al-Farouq Aminu is probable against the Raptors.
Aminu missed two games with a left knee sprain, but is looking likely to play tonight against Toronto.

The "Every Lineup" Guys

Russell Westbrook
Westbrooks price is finally hitting the point where we have to ask ourselves is it really worth it? The projection system seems to think at this point the answer is still yes. Now, I totally understand fading Westbrook, but with the match up with New Orleans, and wondering if Jrue Holiday has a prayer of keeping up with him, I can see why the system is so high on him. There really isn't another player in the NBA quite like Russ and there is value to be found elsewhere. If Oladipo misses tonight then you have to like Westbrook that much more. A great play in all formats.

DeMar DeRozan
DeRozan dropped a season high 43 points going 15 for 28 from the field against Boston on Friday without Kyle Lowry in the lineup. With Lowry looking unlikely to go again to night it wall all fall on DeMar again. The Blazers are a league average match up for shooting guards and their back court is undersized which should allow DD to eat and with no Lowry, he will even feast with the added usage.
