What We Know

Devin Booker has been ruled out against the Lakers

The Suns ruled out Booker yesterday and announced Tyler Ulis as the starter. He's going to see 30+ minutes and we'll get to him in a bit. T.J. Warren and Josh Jackson will also pick up 5-10 minutes each and both deserve a ton of attention in all formats. Troy Daniels could also see close to 30 minutes and he's close to minimum price. I don't hate him, but he's clearly a secondary option.

John Henson has been ruled out against the Knicks

This one is a pretty big surprise. Henson is picking up 30 in most games, so there is a lot of opportunity here. With that being said, I don't think it's very clear. With Jabari Parker back and on a minutes limit, you can't let him loose. You also have Tyler Zeller who they just traded for and Marshall Plumlee behind him, so it's pretty messy. I'll be staying away from this situation, but Parker is the one guy I'd take a chance on.

What We're Waiting to Know

Wayne Selden is questionable to play for the Grizzlies

Selden has been picking up 30+ a night, so there may be some minutes up for grabs. With Mario Chalmers back as of last game, he and Ben McLemore are the biggest candidates to pick up minutes. I'm tempted to take a chance on Chalmers, but neither of them are safe. Harrison is where I'll stay at in cash games in a solid match-up with Atlanta and their 27th ranked PG defense.

Jonathon Simmons is questionable to play against the Cavs

With Aaron Gordon already ruled out, Mario Hezonja can be locked into his 30+ minutes. If Simmons is also out, Wes Iwundu and Arron Afflalo will pick up minutes. Personally, I'll stay away. With that being said, I'll take the guy who gets the start if I have to pick. The match-up against the Cavs is fine as they rank dead last against SF's and neither of them will see Lebron James defense.

Every Lineup Guys

Tyler Ulis FD - $3700 DK - $4200
Opponent - LAL
Proj Pts FD - 22.82 DK - 23.05

With Devin Booker out, Ulis is grabbing the start. We have him projected for 30 minutes, but he could easily get to 35 if he plays well. He has always been a productive player when on the floor and is now going to sit in an offense without it's only true scorer. Ulis has grabbed a 20% usage rate on the year, so he's not bringing it up the floor and just passing it off. He's making plays. You then have to consider the match-up against the Lakers, who rank 21st against PG's. Josh Hart and Clarkson are subpar defenders and Ulis is a lot quicker than both. Lock him in for 20 fantasy points with a 40 ceiling.
