What We Know

What We're Waiting to Know

Lonzo Ball is likely to play tonight, but remains officially questionable

He only saw 17 minutes in his last game back and I wouldn't expect anything different here. Ignore Lonzo and give a tick down to both Isaiah Thomas and Josh Hart. Brandon Ingram will see less time with the ball in his hands as well, but is still an excellent option in both cash games and tournaments. This is a situation that shouldn't be over-analyzed.

Clint Capela and Ryan Anderson are listed as questionable against the Jazz

With Eric Gordon already confirmed out, we could be looking at a very short-handed Rockets squad. With Anderson seeing 20-ish minutes a night and Capela in the 25-30 range, there is opportunity to be had. Luc Mbah a Moute might be the only one im comfortable with, though. The Rockets have a lot of options for backup center and there isn't a guy I'm willing to trust against a tough Jazz squad.

Every Lineup Guys

There are no real must plays on this slate. Point per dollar, Alex Len is at the top of the NBA optimizer. With Tyson Chandler out, you have to think he produced against a Pelicans squad that demands size. You then get to T.J. Warren and Rajon Rondo, who come from the same game with a 230+ over/under. Len is going to get you to value in cash games, but who says Anthony Davis won't put up 80 and make it tough to cash. For that reason, I'm not comfortable recommending Len in every lineup. He's certainly an elite option across the board, however.
