What We're Waiting to Know

Kristaps Porzingis is officially qestionable to play against the Nuggets

We know what to do here. If Porzingis is out, you play Michael Beasley. He took 15 shots against the Warriors last game and put up 32 fantasy points. You know he's going to chuck when in the game and the minutes would be a lock in a friendly match-up. Hardaway Jr. would also pick up some minutes and is already a great option at a depressed price tag. Hernangomez and McDermott would also pick up some minutes, but you can do better. If Porzingis plays, I'll personally ignore this situation outside of Hardaway.

Jimmy Butler is questionable to return against the Warriors

Butler has been out for 3 games now, so we know what's going on. If Butler is out, Nemanja Bjelica is a top value play. We'll get to him later. Teague, Wiggins, Gibson, and Towns will also pick up a few extra minutes and are amazing plays in a fast-paced affair with the Warriors. If Butler returns, Bjelica fades into irrelevancy and the rest of the starters get a slight downgrade.

Gary Harris is questionable against the Knicks with a bruised right foot

Harris grabs a ton of minutes for the Nuggets at the 2 and 3, so there's a lot up for grabs. If Harris is ruled out, lock in Will Barton for 35+ minutes. He's always an elite tournament play and would be a top one tonight against a lowly Knicks defense. Malik Beasley will also pick up some minutes, but he's irrelevant at this point. Stick to Murray and Barton in the Nuggets backcourt.

Every Lineup Guys

Michael Beasley FD - $5900 DK - $6200
Opponent - DEN
Proj Pts FD - 37.54 DK - 37.89
Nemanja Bjelica FD - $4500 DK - $4500
Opponent - GS
Proj Pts FD - 24.35 DK - 24.96

Maybe both. Maybe neither. We're just waiting on injury news. If Jimmy Butler is out, plug in Nemanja Bjelica. If Kristaps Porzingis is out, plug in Michael Beasley. It's really that easy. Both are far too cheap if given the start and deserve to be 100% owned.
