What We Know

Kyrie Irving has been ruled out against the Bulls

The Celtics haven't said much about this situation, but we do know Kyrie is out tonight. Fortunately, Terry Rozier is an easy plug and play at point guard and should grab 35-40 minutes. We'll get to him. Jaylen Brown will also grab the ball for some extra time and are fine plays against a weak Bulls squad.

Tristan Thompson has been ruled out against the Pistons with an ankle injury

Thompson has been playing an active 20-25 minutes a night and we do have some opportunity here. With Ante Zizic the only other center on the roster and Jeff green injured, Larry Nance Jr. is going to see a ton of minutes at the 4 and 5. You can safely lock him in for 30+ minutes and is a strong play in both cash games and tournaments. LeBron will then grab some minutes at the 4 and likely play small against the Pistons. This is good news for Andre Drummond.

Brandon Ingram, Darren Collison, and Andrew Harrison will remain out for at least another game

We know what to do here. Let's get to some unknowns.

What We're Waiting to Know

LaMarcus Aldridge is questionable to play against the Grizzlies

LMA missed last game and Pau Gasol picked up 32 minutes. He put up 50 fantasy points and you have to like him again if Aldridge was out. Bertans also picked up 21 minutes and you can certainly consider him in cash games if you think the game stays close.

Marc Gasol and Jarell Martin are questionable to play vs the Spurs

It looks like Gasol has a better shot to play, but both are officially questionable. If either of them miss, JaMychal Green will see big minutes. he saw 37 last game and will destroy value if that's once again the case. Don't be afraid to target this Grizzlies squad tonight if anyone else is out with injury.
