Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/14/17

Welcome to the daily updates and injury news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it!

Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock tonight.

By the way - we keep our projection system updated with all of the changes as they occur throughout the day right up until lineup lock. Every day. If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below!

What We Know

Jimmy Butler will play against the Pelicans.
Butler will return from illness tonight to face New Orleans. He will have his minutes monitored, so it's probably best to avoid the situation until we see how he is feeling.

What We're Waiting to Know

Evan Fournier and Serge Ibaka are questionable tonight against the Jazz
Ibaka returned last night after missing Wednesdays game vs the Clippers due to his shoulder injury. The questionable designation could just be the Magic being careful not to overwork him, and let him rest the second game of the back to back. Fournier sustained some type of injury to his foot last night and will be evaluated closer to game time. Of the two, I'd consider Fournier to be more likely, but be cautious if adding either to your lineup.

Anthony Davis is questionable against the Bulls.
We're still waiting on an official word on this situation. With this being the first game of the main slate, hopefully it comes through soon. Davis missed Thursday with a sore hip and the Pelicans obviously want to be cautious with the situation. If Davis does play, Terrence Jones would return to the bench.

The "Every Lineup" Guys

Dwayne Wade
As I said in the picks write up, Even if Jimmy Butler does go, I'm still loving Wade as a great play at SG. Buckets will play but his minutes will be watched, with that in mind, I could see considering Wade in tournament line ups, but on this short slate he is a must have in cash games. DW is coming in well rested and seems to have caught lightning in a bottle over the last few games.

Gordon Hayward
For the slower paced Jazz, Gordon Hayward is a player you can lock in regardless of the match up and feel pretty confident about getting your value. Even better when the match up is against an Orlando Magic team that has been very kind to opposing small forwards on the season. He only ran for 26 minutes in last nights annihilation of the Pistons, a game in which he still managed to put up 32 fantasy points. So, he should be well rested and ready to go for tonight.
