What We Know

Pau Gasol is out with a left knee bone bruise

This did come out of nowhere, though there isn't all that much to look at. Pop is always wary of giving anyone crazy minutes, so I don't think Aldridge is a must by any means, though he's still very much in play against New Orleans. Instead, I think most minutes go to Davis Bertans and Joffrey Lauvergne. Against New Orleans, I think Bertans has a ton of upside. Kyle Anderson is also locked into his minutes as he could see some 4 if the game goes small with AD at the 5.

Tyrone Wallace has been ruled out against the Rockets

Wallace has been over 30 minutes in each of the last 2 games, so this is definitely something to look at. With Lou Williams already seeing huge minutes, you can lock him in for at least 34. With Gallinari already out as well, I like Wesley Johnson and Milos Teodosic to grab a bunch of extra minutes. The Rockets don't play much perimeter defense and I'm a big fan of both Austin Rivers and Sweet Lou in cash games. In tourneys, Johnson and Teodosic are elite plays against a fast-paced Houston squad.

What We're Waiting to Know

T.J. Warren is questionable to play against the Grizzlies

This one came as a bit of a surprise and we could be looking at some extra opportunity here. If Warren misses, Josh Jackson immediately comes to the top. He's already seeing major minutes and could be guaranteed over 30. Devin Booker will also be locked into his minutes and is guaranteed to shoot 20+ times. With all of that being said, this is still the Grizzlies and the match-up is nothing to write home about. If you're on Dillon Brooks, he'll see a worse defender if Warren is out.

Every lineup Guys

Jarell Martin FD - $4100 DK - $4400
Opponent - PHO
Proj Pts FD - 22.93 DK - 22.8

Martin is far too cheap for this match-up. He's seen 30+ minutes in each of the last 2 games and has held a solid 17% usage rate. He's not the best producer on the floor, but the Suns play faster than anyone in basketball and don't play any defense under the rim. At an insane $4.1k, he's close to a must in cash games. Dragan Bender and Chriss are below average defenders at best and are far more concerned with putting the ball in the basket.
