We've got you completely covered. What We Know Patrick Beverley remains out for the second half of the back to back. Beverley is dealing with knee soreness and the Clippers announced yesterday the he would miss both games of this weekends back to back set making him ineligible for tonight's tilt with the Pelicans. With Milos Teodosic still out as well Austin Rivers will likely continue playing at the point with Lou Williams picking up added time at shooting guard. Derrick Rose is out for the Cavaliers. D Rose didn't play Thursday against the Rockets, missing his fifth contest of the season with discomfort in his ankle. Rose has been rolling for the Cavs when he is healthy, despite a tight minutes restriction, scoring double digits in five straight games. The Cavs have ruled Rose out again tonight for their game in Dallas. Iman shumpert should remain in the starting lineup. Jerryd Bayless did not practice with the Sixers yesterday. Bayless remains out indefinitely for the Sixers, as does Markelle Fultz. as noted in last nights picks article. Look for T.J. McConnell to continue to be the prime beneficiary of the extra time at the point for Philly. D.J. Augustin will be out for at least another week. Elfrid Payton will rest tonight against Denver. Augustin missed four games already dealing with a hamstring strain, and is expected to miss Orlando's entire four game road trip which continues with game two tonight in Denver. In addition, the Magic will rest Elfrid Payton tonight. Shelvin Mack will most likely start for Orlando, though Johnathon Simmons looks to be a promising punt play as he sees a 3.6 usage bump with Payton out for a 29.1% usage rate. Kevin Durant is probable against Philly while Andre Iguodala is out. KD missed Wednesday's game with a bruised thigh, but was a full participant in practice on Friday, and is fully expected to start tonight. Though Steph Curry and Klay Thompson become much more appealing with KD off the court, they're both still solid cash considerations tonight in a high scoring fast paced tilt with the Sixers. Iguodala meanwhile is out for a planned rest day. His minutes will likely be split amongst Patrick McCaw, Omri Casspi, and Nick Young, none of whom...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Stephen Curry FD - $9500 DK - $9500Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 47.48 DK - 49.37 It's starting to feel like the days of Steph Curry as a GPP only option may be a thing of the past. Even with the blowout factor, which is always a concern (the Dubs have won half of their games this season by a 15 point margin or greater) Steph has consistently paid 5X points per dollar value at the $9.5K tag he is sporting on both sites. The only times he has failed to pay value were in the season opening one point loss to Houston, and a slowed down blowout of the Heat in which both teams scored in just double digits. That is not a concern tonight. A hungry young Sixers squad comes into town playing the fourth fastest game in the NBA and this contest has the highest projection on the evening at 230. I get it if the 14 point spread gives you a moment of pause, but I'm expecting Philly to scrap to keep this one close well into the third giving Steph plenty of time to do what he does so well, and be a fantastic play in all formats. T.J. McConnell FD - $4800 DK - $4800Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 23.98 DK - 23.64 Sticking in the same game we have the Sixers guard T.J. McConnell. Timothy John (as it appears on his birth certificate) has been an asset for Philly both in spot starts, and coming off the bench, particularly with the indefinite loss of Markelle Fultz, and more recently Jerryd Bayless. Some less than stellar shooting performances have driven the price on McConnell down dramatically (-$700 in less than a week on FanDuel) but the peripherals have remained persistent as have the minutes. McConnell has hovered around the 30 minute mark in seven straight games, and if he can start dropping some buckets it won't be long before McConnell is paying 6X or better at these prices once again. These are two of the five fastest paced teams in the NBA and the opportunities on both sides should be plentiful. Stacking these two teams at the point could be an excellent...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Patrick Beverley, Milos Teodosic and Danilo Gallinari are out tonight against the Thunder. Beverley has a sore right knee and the clippers are exercising caution resting him for the weekend back to back set starting with tonight's trip to Oklahoma city. With Teodosic still out with no real timetable to return, and Austin Rivers currently listed as questionable, the Clippers are steetched extremely thin in their back court options. If Rivers plays, he and Lou Williams are great plays, if Rivers sits, Williams could be in for big time minutes. Gallinari meanwhile, will miss a second straight game with a strained glute. Wesley Johnson should be in line to start in his place once again after putting forth a decent showing on Tuesday. D.J. Augustin remains out for Orlando. Augustin suffered a hamstring strain against the Grizzlies on November 1st, and was expected to miss the next four games, tonight's meeting with the Suns being the fourth. Elfrid Payton returned from his own hamstring injury on Wednesday and looked just fine, expect him to carry the bulk of the Magic point guard duties moving forward. Al Horford has been upgraded to questionable. Horford was originally ruled out for tonight with a concussion but this afternoon was listed as questionable. Expect the Celtics to evaluate him just before game time and make a call then as to his availability. Tyson Chandler will miss his second straight contest. Chandler missed Wednesday's game with the Heat due to back spasms, and they seem to still be a problem, so the Suns have ruled him out for tonight's game in Orlando. Marquesse Chriss and Dragan Bender will continue to see extended run in Chandler's absence, Chriss paid nearly 7X against the Heat, while Bender was nearly non-existent in 26 minutes on the court. Dennis Schroder is listed as probable for the Hawks. Schroder has been dealing with a sprained ankle all season and soldiering through it, so this designation doesn't fill me with too much concern that he will not take the court tonight against the Pistons. This is just something to be mindful of if you're considering him at the point. What We're Waiting to Know Stanley Johnson is questionable/doubtful against the Hawks tonight....

We've got you completely covered. Point guard T.J. McConnell FD - $5500 DK - $4800Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 29.58 DK - 28.78 Fresh from a three game Monday night we find ourselves with a healthy helping of ten games on the schedule for tonight with some solid matchups, some fast paced teams, a couple of blowout concerns, and plenty of great plays as determined by our system to consider for your lineups. We start off as usual with Russell Westbro--wait! no, actually, we are going to bypass Westy tonight, as there are several value options to look over at the point, and as 10K+ salaries go, the system is none too high on Russ. Instead we will start off today with T.J. McConnell. Jerryd Bayless will not play tonight for Philly as he is experiencing soreness in his left wrist so look for Timothy John (as listed on his birth certificate) to draw the start. Since Markell Fultz was shut down indefinitely McConnell has been a beast for the Sixers second unit, running rotations with both Bayless and Ben Simmons. Even off the bench McConnell has paid as much as 7.5X at these prices and will absorb a ton of the time left up for grabs by Bayless. Utah presents a tough matchup for opposing point guards, but for the time he should be out on the court, McConnell will have plenty of time to pile on the fantasy points and pay value in cash and tournaments. Jarrett Jack FD - $4400 DK - $4400Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 23.08 DK - 23.19 The Knicks play host to the Hornets tonight. Jarrett Jack was allotted the starting role at the point for the Knicks in favor of Ramon Sessions in his second game of the season on October 27th to mixed results, but he still coming in very cheap for a starter and as long as he is seeing 25+ minutes he doesn't need to do a whole lot to pay value. The Hornets are an average opponent for opposing point guards, allowing 8.5 assists per game, which is encouraging for Jack who has had his best fantasy performances in games where he has managed eight assists or more. Jack is far from the...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know John Wall is out for tonights game against the Raptors. Wall suffered a shoulder sprain Friday night in the Wizards loss to the Cavaliers, and though it doesn't seem too serious, the Wiz will hold him back tonight as they travel north of the border to Toronto. Tim Frazier is the likely candidate to start for Wall, however he is also listed as questionable which would lead to Tomas Satoransky starting at the point for Washington. Of all possible beneficiaries, I like Bradley Beal who will likely step in to lead the Washington offense regardless of who is at the one. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will miss a second straight game for personal reasons MKG missed the Hornets contest on Friday against the Spurs for personal reasons and will remain out for tonight trip to Minnesota. Marvin Williams and Frank Kaminsky will be the primary beneficiaries of Kidd-Gilchrist's minutes though neither proved viable fantasy options on Friday night. What We're Waiting to Know Kristaps Porzingis will be a game time decision for the Knicks. Zinger will be a game time decision with more word likely coming following shoot around, after he tweaked his ankle on Friday against the Suns. The injury doesn't seem too serious and it seems more than likely that Porzingis will take the floor tonight against the Pacers, but this is a situation to monitor closely with 30+ minutes up for grabs if he does indeed miss. Elfrid Payton is questionable for the Magic tonight while D.J. Augustin remains a GTD. Payton is currently listed as questionable for tonight contest against the Celtics after missing seven straight games with a strained hamstring. This is the second time in a row he has been listed as questionable so it does seem he is inching closer to a return, with more word likely coming following shoot around. The Magic have been hurting at the point without Payton, and now D.J. Augustin is listed as a game time decision after leaving Wednesdays game with a hamstring injury and subsequently missing Fridays game against the Bulls. Shelvin Mack started on Friday but only ran for 21 minutes and certainly didn't light the world on fire so should only be considered as a punt in...
