We know how to handle these guys. Let's dive into some situations that aren't so clear. If you have any questions about these, comment below and I'll get right to them.
Antetokounmpo was also out last game, but we are looking at a different situation completely with Brogdon in. Sterling Brown will head back to irrelevance, though he still might get 20-25 minutes. Brogdon was dealing with a personal issue, so I think he gets to the 25-40 Brown got last game. Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton will both obviously get big minutes and be the 2 highest owned players on the team, and probably the entire slate. I will have both in 100% of my lineups, guaranteeing me more exposure than the field.
This is a situation that may get interesting against a porous 76ers interior. If Martin is cleared to play, he's a phenomenal option in all formats. If he is out as well, my focus moves towards Ivan Rabb and Tyreke Evans. With Ennis and Parsons already out, Rabb will have to get over 25 minutes if Martin is also out. Mclemore and Selden could also pick up 25-30 minutes and have to at least be interesting against the Sixers. All in all, I hope Martin is cleared. He's an easy play for 30+ minutes and 25+ fantasy points. If not, it truly is a crapshoot, but does up the floor of Evans and Gasol.

I know, obvious. With Giannis Antetokounmpo out, Khris Middleton grabbed a triple-double and 55 fantasy points last game. His usage picked up to 34% and he turned into a guy that would be $10k if Antetokounmpo was out for an extended period of time. He now sees an insanely good match-up with a Suns team that doesn't play defense. Against shooting guards, they rank 22nd in the NBA. Devin Booker is a fine perimeter defender, but he has no help under the rim. Khris Middleton has been over 40 minutes in 3 straight and should be there again, barring a blowout. With Antetokounmpo out of the lineup, I don't see it as much of a possibility. Middleton will be in every lineup of mine.

Porous Sixers interior? LOL, they are tied for 3rd in defensive efficiency.
Is Jerian Grant going to get over 30 minutes tonight?
