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!
Batum missed last game, which resulted in Jeremy Lamb being about 70% owned in cash games. He will be in a similar spot tonight and once again makes for a tremendous cash and tournament play. The Pacers are a weak match-up for shooting guards and Lamb should have another solid night. Kemba could also pick up a few extra shots.
This definitely hurts David Lee and Pau Gasol a lot. Aldridge will likely see around 20 minutes tonight, but those minutes are extremely precious when all of these guys are fighting for so few. I will likely ignore this interior as a whole on this slate.
Matthews has been on and off the injury report a ton lately, so this is really no surprise. Seth Curry got a huge bump last time Wes was out, seeing over 35 minutes and taking a ton of shots. Manny Harris was also recalled from the D-League but I doubt he sees more than 10 minutes.
Dejounte Murray has been ruled out and Tony Parker is officially questionable. With such a good match-up against the Blazers, you have to take a long look at Patty Mills. If Parker sits, Mills is basically a must play in cash games. If Parker plays, I still think he's an interesting tournament option. Parker could very well see 15 minutes and hit the bench.
This one is pretty cut and dry. With Nicolas Batum out, Jeremy Lamb is an easy plug and play. He sees plenty of usage on the offense and is also not scared to run point guard for a possession or two while Kemba rests. The match-up is prime as Monta Ellis is one of the worst defenders in the league and will have no chance of stopping him. Lamb has a floor around 25 with an unknown ceiling. He makes sense in all formats, though his ownership will be insane.
Cauley-Stein may not be as obvious as Lamb, but he will still be around 30% owned on a large slate. H's been playing big minutes for the Kings recently and gets a prime match-up with the Suns. The Suns play fast and lack the necessary interior to shut down WCS. Alex Len and Alan Williams are both pretty good rebounders but have nowhere near the athleticism necessary to stop a 7 foot 2 monster. WCS has a ton of upside and is pretty safe if he stays out of foul trouble.
