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!
James suffered a corneal abrasion last night against the Hornets and was listed as questionable. Coach Lue just confirmed James will be in the starting Line up against the Wizards.
With Thomas out, Willy Hernangomez should continue to start at center with Kristaps Porzingis at the four. After that it's anybodies guess what is going on with the remainder of the Knicks starting five as Anthony and Rose have both been designated as questionable after missing Thursdays game in Portland. It's worth noting that while we have a small sample to work with Zinger hasn't seen much of a usage bump with those two off the court, but if they do miss, New York will have to rely heavily on him if they hope to stay in this one which currently sits at a 15 point spread.
I said in the picks write up, that I don't care for Wall as a 10K player, and that even the current pricing is a little high and I stand by that. However, with the short slate Wall makes for one of the more appealing big money guys on the slate. Vegas has this as the highest scoring affair of the evening and at a three point spread doesn't project to be a blowout. The Cavs are the weakest team going this evening defending the point, so I'm willing to put my feelings about the cost aside and ride with John Wall this evening.
I wrote up Andrew Wiggins last night prior to the game with the Lakers that Minnesota managed to lose in overtime despite a stellar performance coming from Wiggins. He scored 36 points ( the 11th 30 point game he's put together this season) in 44 minutes on his way to paying nearly 7X his salary. The Blazers tend to lean more towards average defensively against the three compared to the Lakers bottom 5 ranking, but I still love the idea of having Wiggins locked in at my small forward spot tonight, and the system agrees, with him showing up everywhere in the top line ups this evening.
