What We Know
LaMarcus Aldridge has been ruled out through the All-Star Break
This doesn't look like a real big deal, but the Spurs are taking advantage of the ASB and letting LMA take a huge break. Tonight, we'll see Pau Gasol and Joffrey Lauvergne man the Center position. Both are interesting against a Jazz squad that dictates a lot of size. Davis Bertans will also be locked into 30 minutes and makes sense as a top value play in all formats.
Draymond Green has been ruled out against the Suns with a finger injury
This kind of came out of nowhere, but we know what to do for the most part. The NBA lineup optimizer has Kevon Looney at 25 minutes and he would make for a top value play against a fast-paced Suns squad. Casspi and David West may also grab 4 or 5 extra minutes, but I'm not sure either are all that relevant.
Every Lineup Guys
Emmanuel Mudiay FD - $3700 DK - $4300
Opponent - PHI
Proj Pts FD - 9.3 DK - 9.69
Mudiay saw 29 minutes in his first Knicks game, so you can count on at least 28+ tonight. There's a chance he's allowed to take over and given the reigns. It's what I certainly think happens after the All-Star Break. His price is insanely low on both sites and you're only looking for 20 fantasy points. The match-up is solid against the Sixers, who rank 26th against PG's. Mudiay is a lock for cash game value.
