What We Know

Larry Nance is out indefinitely with a fractured thumb

This one is an overall bummer as Larry Nance is a young guy who just can't stay on the court. As for the fantasy implications, Kyle Kuzma and Julius Randle will step in and be just as good. I'm a bit hesistant wth Randle still as they have showed a lot of caution in his minutes. If you want to take a shto in tournaments, I love it. As for Kuzma, he's my favorite play on the slate and we'll get to him in a minute.

What We're Waiting to Know

Kristaps Porzingis is considered questionable to play and missed pratice yesterday

If Porzingis plays without anyrestrictions, he's one of the top plays on the slate. He will also probably go very under-owned as he's had the Q tag all day. If POrzingis happens to miss this game, Enes Kanter and Tim Hardaway Jr. get the biggest bumps. Everyone else in the starting lineup can be slated for 3 or 4 more shots as well.

Myles Turner is a GTD against the 76'ers

Turner has been out for a while, so we know what happens if he is out. If he plays, I'll stay away from the Pacers big anyway. There's too many other options and we don't know how the minutes will be distributed. I guess he could take 3 or 4 shots away from Oladipo, but I still love him.

Every Lineup Guys

Kyle Kuzma FD - $4700 DK - $4700
Opponent - BKN
Proj Pts FD - 15.68 DK - 16.49

This one isn't too tough. Kuzma was already picking up almost 30 minutes a game and now the starting PF has broken his thumb. You can guarantee 30 minutes with the upside for 40 in the back-back. Kuzma has been a phenomenal DFS player when on the court this season and sees an optimal match-up with the Nets. Kuzma will be the highest owned player on the slate and rightfully so.
