Tyler Cavanaugh and Ersan Ilyasova have been getting minutes and have been solid targets for the better part of 2 weeks. They will now fade back into obscurity with a group of guys too big to deal with. Collins won't see a full complement of minutes and is off my radar against a somewhat stingy Pistons interior.
Draymond Green has been phenomenal with Stephen Curry out, putting up 56 in each of his last 2 games. Those were in-between a pair of 0's because of the same injury as tonight. With him out, Jordan Bell will see 20+ minutes and is a great play against a stiff Mavericks interior. Kevin Durant may also pick up 4 or 5 extra shots and be an even better play than he already is.
I don't know if this news really makes or breaks anyone, but it matters. Korver and J.R. Smith would both have 20-minute floors against a Lakers team that can be susceptible to shooters. Jeff Green may also see extended run, but he could always see 10 minutes off the bench. LeBron is a phenomenal play either way and sees a minuscule change to his usage with this news.
Allen Crabbe isn't a guy we really pay attention to in terms of DFS, but he takes up 30 minutes a night. If he misses, DeMarre Carroll and Caris LeVert will both see extra minutes and a few shots. I have interest in both in a game against the Knicks that should stay relatively close. Crabbe is a guy I'll ignore if he plays.
With Draymond out, Jordan Bell is going to see over 20 minutes and 20 fantasy points. The Mavericks are decent on paper against the Mavs, but Dirk is nowhere near athletic enough to stay with Bell. He's extremely cheap on both sites and only needs 20 to hit value. If you need value and don't love 2 others at PF, Bell is close to a must. I don't see too many ways he hurts you.
