Oladipo missed last game, so we know what to expect for the most part. Minutes-wise, Lance Stephenson and Cory Joseph will get to 30 minutes. Stephenson is a top play on the slate in all formats. Darren Collison, Myles Turner, and Bojan Bogdanovic will all see a few extra shots and have to be considered against a below average Bulls defense. Oladipo is obviously the number 1 option on this offense and there are plenty of shots and minutes to go around in his absence.
This is a very interesting game to begin with and now this news adds a lot of depth to the Thunder side. Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony are both going to see an extra 4-6 shots and are great plays in all formats. The Bucks are going to keep it close and are an average defensive team. The Thunder are still favored by 7 here and a 207 over/under is perfectly fine.
If Chris Paul does return, he'll take minutes away from Eric Gordon and James Harden. While I don't think Chris Paul is ready to play more than 20-25 minutes, I don't think the Rockets like playing these important players 40 minutes a night in December. With that being said, they don't have much of a choice if Paul is out again. They are extremely consistent in the minutes and see another solid match-up with a fast-paced Wizards team that should keep it close.
Even if he does return, I don't think he gets over 30 minutes in any scenario. At his price, go ahead and ignore this entire situation. DeAndre Jordan and Lou Williams are both still great plays either way, but would see a very slight downgrade if Griffin does play.
LeVert gets over 30 minutes in most games, so there's plenty to look at here. If he plays, ignore the Nets against a slow Heat squad. If he's ruled out, Nik Stauskas and Allen Crabbe figure to benefit most. Stauskas saw 23 minutes last game with LeVert in, so he could get over 30 at minimum price. This whole situation is fluid and there isn't a guy I would trust in cash games, no matter the result of this news.
