Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/22/17

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

Paul Millsap and Kent Bazemore have already been ruled out

Millsap and Baze have already been announced out for a while now, so this is obviously no surprise. Ersan Ilyasova will benefit most and makes for a nice cash game play. Taurean Prince and Thabo Sefolosha will also pick up some minutes and make sense in cash games.

Danilo Gallinari has been ruled out and Wilson Chandler is expected to play

This could get a bit confusing and unpredictable. Chandler plays more of the 4 and Gallo plays more of the 3, so we will look more towards the guards tonight. Will Barton and Gary Harris are both fantastic plays and they will be popular. The Cavs are a good defense, but the Nuggets will need those guys for scoring. Chandler could also be an interesting tournament option if they announce he will play full minutes.

Robin Lopez has been suspended for tonight's game

This was expected after he tried to punch Serge Ibaka in the face last night. The Pistons are a big team and Andre Drummond will definitely benefit. Christiano Felicio could pick up some run. Rondo and Butler will also have to grab a few more rebounds, which heightens his upside.

What we're waiting to know

Jahlil Okafor is a GTD against the Thunder

Okafor isn't a guy I'm going to target either way tonight, but I definitely care about this news. If Okafor is out, Richaun Holmes will be forced into huge minutes in a great match-up. Holmes has been an amazing FP per minute producer lately and makes for a tremendous option tonight. Dario Saric will also see a guaranteed 35 minutes.

The "Every Lineup" Guys

Rajon Rondo

Rondo is playing the best basketball of his season, finishing with 40 fantasy points just last night. With Wade out for the season and Butler being the only other punch, I expect Hoiberg to throw Rondo out for at least 34 minutes. He is one of the only guys with a brain on the Bulls and will also be needed for rebounding with RoLo presumably being suspended. Reggi Jackson is a pretty bad defender and Rondo won't have any problem getting past him.

Richaun Holmes

Holmes went absolutely nuts last game with Jahlil Okafor out, topping 40 minutes and 50 fantasy points. He absolutely destroyed the boards and followed with plenty of points. He is an incredible FP per minute player and it just depends on how many minutes he can get. If Okafor is out, Holmes is a must play. Even if Okafor plays, Holmes should see 30 minutes and still hit vaue at his price. Holmes will be in a ton of my cash games and nearly all of my tourneys.
