What We Know
Terry Rozier has been ruled out against the Bucks
What We're Waiting to Know
Kevin Love is questionable to play with an illness
It’s never a surprise to see Kevin Love on the injury report. I think it’s a fact that he gets sick more than any other player in the history of the NBA. Exaggerating, but he’s always on the report it seems. He’s questionable tonight in a big game ha the Raptors and will open up some opportunity if out. Larry Nance, Jeff Green, and Tristan Thompson would all be candidates for big increases, but I think Nance Jr. fits this match-up best with Serge Ibaka. The Cavs have also shown a willingness to play Jeff Green huge minutes and he makes sense here as well. If Love plays, I don’t have any interest at all in this group of guys. I’ll just stick to LeBron and move along.
Michael Beasley is questionable with an illness vs the Magic
With Troy Williams already ruled out for an extended period of time, the Knicks could be short-handed tonight. I like Beasley if he plays in all formats. If he’s out, a ton of minutes should go to Lance Thomas. Courtney Lee and Luke Kornet will also pick up a few and Kornet is interesting at the very least.
Brook Lopez is questionable to play with back soreness
If Lopez plays, you can play him against the Jazz, who you need to have size against. If Lopez is out, Ivica Zubac and Channing Frye are both candidates to see big minutes. I like Zubac a little bit more and he's extremely cheap on both sites. The match-up with the Jazz isn't good, though.
Wilson Chandler is questionable to return from his nose injury
Chandler remains questionable after missing last game. It’s not hard to figure out what to do if he’s out. Torrey Craig picked up 36 minutes and put up 23 fantasy points. This is only because of the injury to Gary Harris as well, but those minutes are there either way. This match-up against the Pacers is a good one, as they rank 22nd against the position and play extremely fast. Craig would be a phenomenal savings option in all formats.
