What We Know
Nicolas Batum is probable to return against the Knicks, but will have a minutes limit
Batum has been out for a while and he's likely to return tonight with a minutes limit. You obviously can't play Batum, but it also takes away from Jeremy Lamb and Dwyane Bacon. Neither are on my radar tonight, though Lamb on DK can still be considered at the cheap tag.
Gary Harris, T.J. Warren, Brandon Ingram, Isaiah Thomas, and Tyson Chandler will remain out tonight
These guys have been out a while and we know what to do. If you have any questions, feel free to comment down below and I will make sure to get to you.
What We're Waiting to Know
Devin Booker is "very questionable" to play and will have his status decided during warmups
Whatever that means. If Booker plays, he probably won't see a full allotment of minutes and I don't have much interest against Jaylen Brown. If Booker is out, Josh Jackson and Troy Daniels are both in play in all formats. T.J. Warren is already out, so Jackson is in play either way and this would put him close to 40 minutes.
Every Lineup Guys
Kyle Kuzma FD - $6600 DK - $6900
Opponent - DET
Proj Pts FD - 36.63 DK - 38.01
Kuzma has picked up 40+ minutes over the last two games and is sitting in the exact same situation tonight. Brandon Ingram remains out and Isaiah Thomas is also going to sit. It will only give Kuzma a few extra shots and it's not like he even needs them. He's been over 30 fantasy points in three straight games. The Pistons rank 21st against the small forward position and are degenerating as a defense as a whole. Kuzma is an elite play in both cash games and tournaments. Expect another 38+ minutes and 30+ fantasy points.
