What We Know

What We're Waiting to Know

Hassan Whiteside is questionable to play after missing the last 2 weeks
He's looking closer to probable than questionable. On the off-chance Whiteside sits it out, James Johnson and Kelly Olynyk remain interesting plays. IIf Whiteside plays, I guess he's a decent GPP target, but this match-up with the Bulls isn't great anyway. All appeal would be stripped from Johnson and Olynyk.

Marc Gasol and Mike Conley are questionable to play

These guys are both looking like true question marks and it'll be interesting to see when the news finally drops. The game is 1 hour after lock, so we may or may not hear word beforehand. If both play, I'll stay away from Memphis. If just Conley sits out, Mario Chalmers becomes a top value option on the board. The same can be said for Jarell Martin if Gasol is out. If both of these guys sit, I like Tyreke Evans quite a bit. He's been needed to score and has stepped up in a big way. Orlando is weak on the perimeter and Evans is still too cheap. This game against the Magic is pace-up for the Grizzlies, so I'll look to get exposure if someone does sit out.

Jonas Valunciunas and Lucas Nogueira are expected to play, but are officially questionable

If you think Valunciunas is going to get 25 minutes, you can play him at his price. I won't do it, but I get it completely. This takes the appeal away from Jakob Poeltl and Pascal Siakam.

J.J. Redick is probable to return after missing 2 games

It gave Dario Saric the chance to start and he played alright. With Redick expected to be back, I don't have much interest in Saric. McConnell was the other guys benefiting, but he's still interesting with Fultz on the injury list. This game against the 76ers is pretty interesting but Redick doesn't do all that much in the grand scheme of things.

Every Lineup Guys

John Wall FD - $9700 DK - $9500
Opponent - PHO
Proj Pts FD - 49.69 DK - 51.56

Wall is the one mainstay in my cash games today, and the optimizer agrees. There's a lot of different ways to spend up, but none have all things in line like Wall does here. For one, the Suns play at the 2nd fastest PACE (104.3) in the NBA and have lost their best defensive player in Eric Bledsoe. They now rely on Mike James and Tyler Ulis at the helm, who stink at defense. The Suns have allowed 58 FPPG to opposing PG's, which is 4 more than the 2nd place T-Wolves. He has the best possible pace match-up with an equally good individual match-up. There's nothing to dislike. Vegas has this game as the highest over/under on the entire slate at 226. This is a game to have exposure to and John Wall is the best of all.
