Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/23/17

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

Serge Ibaka will face his 1-game suspension tonight

Ibaka has been a big piece of this Raptos offense with Lowry out, so DeRozan will see a nice bump in usage for sure. Patrick Patterson should be the main beneficiary in terms of minutes and makes for a pretty interesting play in all formats. Jonas Valunciunas could also see an uptick if the Raptors stay big.

What we're waiting to know

T.J. Warren is questionable to play against the Nets

T.J. Warren has been playing tremendous for the Suns lately, so we will definitely want to keep an eye on this situation. I am completely off of Warren in a season where the Suns could care less about winning. There is a reach chance he sees limited minutes, even if fully active. If Warren is out, Derrick Jones could see big minutes. Devin Booker and Tyler Ulis would also be locked into huge minutes as the backup guards would have to play the 3.

Derrick Rose is questionable to play against the Blazers

Rose left the arena with a brace and limp last night, so who really knows what's going on here. If Rose is a full go, he makes for an extremely interesting play against Damian Lillard defense. If Rose misses, I would expect Ron Baker to start and be a pretty interesting GPP option.

The "Every Lineup" Guys

Tyler Ulis

Ulis is going to see over 40 minutes once again and I just don't see the merit in fading on this slate. He has an elite match-up against the Nets and provides a ton of safety. Lin is an atrocious defender and Ulis will have no problem getting to the rim. The Suns want to see what they have in Ulis and he certainly wants to show them. He has been over 35 fantasy points in 3 of the last 4 and I think he returns there tonight. Ulis is a lock in all of my lineups.

Harrison Barnes

Barnes is just a little too cheap on both FanDuel and DraftKings, coming in under $6k. The Clippers struggle against small forwards, ranking 21st in the league. Barnes is the only real scorer on this Mavs team and he will be needed against a powerful Clippers offense. Barnes has been a bit more aggresive lately and it's paid off, finishing with 30+ in 7 of the last 10. You can count on Barnes in both cash games and tournaments.
