What We Know

Anthony Davis, Nikola Jokic, Kristaps Porzingis, John Collins, Tim Hardaway Jr., Rodney Hood, and Dewayne Dedmon will all remain out

These guys are recently injured, but this is not the first game they'll miss. Let's jump into some news that's not set in stone.

Kemba Walker will return to action for the Hornets

Walker is expected to be without any limitations, but it's always tough to trust a guy coming off of injury. Especially in an average match-up with plenty of other options to choose from. This hurts Batum, Dwight, and MCW, putting all of them out of play in cash games. I don't mind Howard in tournaments against Vucevic, but he's not a must.

Rudy Gobert will return with a minutes limit tonight

The Jazz have actually been playing well with Gobert, so this will be interesting. They've played much faster and have played small on most nights. With Gobert back, they will be forced to play a lot slower. Epke Udoh and Derrick Favors are both going to see fewer minutes and are not in play tonight. We'll also throw out Marcin Gortat, who'll have the league's toughest match-up. Brad Beal could also struggle if he can't hit his outside shot and is forced to come inside.

Kyle Anderson has been ruled out against the Pistons

It looks like Anderson will miss 2-3 weeks, which is a blessing after seeing the injury last night. With Rudy Gay expected to return tonight, he should pick up the 25-ish minutes that Anderson typically gets. Against another slow team in the Pistons, you don't need to focus on anyone from this game.

Every Lineup Guys

Enes Kanter FD - $6600 DK - $6200
Opponent - IND
Proj Pts FD - 41.6 DK - 43.72

With both Kristaps Porzingis and Tim Hardaway Jr. both out, there are not only minutes, but excessive shots to choose from. Hardaway and Porzingis are the 2 top options on this offense and Kanter has been great with them out. Over the last 2 games, Kanter has been over 40 fantasy points in each. He hasn't been over 30 minutes yet, so the upside is certainly there if some extra minutes come. If he gets the 25-30 he's been seeing, he's a great cash game play with a 30 FP ceiling. This is a guy who sees a 27%+ usage with THJ and Porzingis, so it'll be tough for him to completely miss value.
