What We Know

Hassan Whiteside will play today.
A sore left knee held Whiteside back from practice yesterday, and Miami officially designated the big man as questionable for today's visit to the Windy City. The Heat have confirmed Whiteside will in fact play against the Bulls today.

Devin Booker is out for the Suns game in Minnesota.
Originally listed as questionable for this afternoon's game with the Wolves with toe inflammation, Booker has now been officially ruled out. It was likely this was an issue for Booker Friday night against the Pelicans when he turned in one of his worst performances of the season. With Booker now confirmed out, T.J. Warren will become an elite play, while Mike James who sees a 32.3% usage with Booker off the court becomes a solid GPP play.

Jeff Teague is out for the Timberwolves.
Teague was a late scratch on Friday night with an achilles issue, and was originally listed as questionable for today's tilt with Phoenix but has since been ruled out. Aaron Brooks started for Teague on Friday but only saw 13 minutes while Tyus Jones stole the show posting a 7.3X PPD performance in 32 minutes.

Every Lineup Guy

Taj Gibson FD - $5600 DK - $5500
Opponent - PHO
Proj Pts FD - 30.11 DK - 31.12
Woof. This is an ugly slate, and power forward is an ugly position. Taj Gibson is the one play showing up in the top optimal lineups being put out by our optimizer on both FanDuel, and DraftKings, and it all simply comes down to price and opportunity. Gibson is one of the cheaper options at this terrible position, and gets a plum matchup against a Phoenix team that is allowing the most fantasy points at the position of the teams that are playing today, and the minutes can't be disputed. Gibson is seeing at the least 30 and upwards of 40 minutes per game, and the Suns play at a ridiculous 106.2 pace factor, which will speed up Minnesotas more relaxed pace of play creating even more opportunities. Keep it cheap at the four with Gibson and allow yourself the room to pay up where it counts.
