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!
Hernangomez has been playing some nice minutes for the Knicks, so his absence does cause a bit of a ripple effect. Hernangomez missed last game and we were all off on what we thought would happen. While O'Quinn was supposed to be the guy who benefited most, it was Carmelo Anthony and Lance Thomas. Kristaps Porzingis also saw 33 minutes and shu=ould see at leas that again tonight.
Noel might have a little bit of hype here, which could turn into a higher ownership than expected. With that being said, he is still a very good play. Seth Curry and Yogi Ferrell also get their minutes secured with Matthews out. He has been playing about 35 minutes per game and these guys will need to score on the perimeter to make up for him.
This should be no surprise. Point guard against the Nets has been fantasy goodness all season long and will continue to be gold as the season progresses. They have given up the most FP's per game to PG's at over 50 per game. Hill will see Jeremy Lin and Spencer Dinwiddie defense, which is easily the weakest defensive backcourt in basketball. While some may be worried about a blowout, this game is in Brooklyn where the Nets have been far better. Hill is one of the safer options on the board and makes for a tremendous play in all formats. He may not have the upside of some other PG's, but you can go elsewhere for the crazy upside.
Ross has been in a Magic uniform for 3 games and bene pretty good for all 3. While he did disappoint overall last game, he scored all 16 of his fantasy points in the 2nd half. He does offer a little more risk than a guy like Hill, but I think he gets to at least 20 tonight. He also has the upside for 35, which is rather clear when looking at his FP per minute totals. This is always a guy who has produced when given the opportunity and the Magic are certainly doing that. The Heat play slow, but have a lot of guards who can't play defense. Dion Waiters will cover Ross for most of the game and can't play defense at all. Ross is a bit risky, but is a good play in all formats.
