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! START YOUR FREE TRIAL! What We Know Al Horford and Avery Bradley are out tonight. Boston has announced they will sit Horford and Bradley tonight. Jonas Jerebko and Jaylen Brown will start in their place. The Celtics have also announced Gerald Green will play tonight while Tyler Zeller though still unconfirmed is expected to play. Wesley Matthews expects to play tonight against the Thunder. Matthews hip kept him sidelined for a couple of games, but he participated in shoot around this morning and is ready to return to the starting lineup tonight against OKC. This should most likely send Nerlens Noel back to the bench reducing his playing time. Markieff Morris will play against Orlando tonight. Morris bruised his thigh in Friday's game against the Raptors. He sat out practice Saturday but the team announced he will suit up for tonight's game against the Magic. What We're Waiting to Know Victor Oladipo is unlikely to play against the Mavericks tonight. The Thunder have yet to rule Oladipo out officially, but all signs point to him missing another game due to back spasms. Alex Abrines should continue to draw the start in his place. Rodney Hood and Joe Johnson are questionable against the Kings tonight. Hood looks to miss a third game due to knee soreness, while Johnsons groin which led to a last minute scratch on Friday seems likely to keep him out another game. Joe Ingles and Alec Burks should see added run against the Kings should these players both miss. The "Every Lineup" Guys DeMarcus Cousins & Anthony Davis Both Boogie and the Brow (worst buddy cop comedy ever) are appearing in the top ten lineups put out by our lineup optimizer as of this writing (2pm est.). I didn't want to put two of the most expensive guys here so I opted to combine them in to one writing. I prefer Cousins because he comes in a smidge cheaper than Davis and presents slightly better upside....

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/4/17 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.

If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below! START YOUR FREE TRIAL! What We Know LeBron and Kyrie will rest tonight against the Heat Cleveland is resting their studs tonight on the tail end of a back to back. The starters tonight against Miami will be Deron Williams, Iman Shumpert, Kyle Korver, James Jones, and Tristan Thompson. Khris Middleton will start against Toronto. I mentioned this in the picks article. Middleton is in a great spot against Toronto and apparently he will start the second game of a back to back for the first time this season. As long as he sees about 30 minutes, he's a great option at SF tonight. Frank Kaminsky is out against the Nuggets. The Hornets can't catch a break. They finally get Cody Zeller back from injury and Frank the Tank, who filled in beautifully for Zeller during his absence suffered an AC joint sprain. Zeller, who was coming in off the bench since his return will rejoin the starters. Christian Wood will be the primary back up at center. Jameer Nelson will start tonight for the Nuggets. Nelson missed the last game due to food poisoning but will suit up and start tonight against Charlotte. Nelson has struggled a bit lately to hit value, but has a nice match up with the Hornets, and could go under the radar in large tournaments. What We're Waiting to Know Michael Carter-Williams is a game time decision tonight. MCW has missed three games and is a GTD tonight against the Clippers. The Bulls point guard situation is a complete mess so really, regardless if he plays or not it's best just to stay away. Isaiah Whitehead is questionable tonight against the Trail Blazers. Whitehead is questionable tonight with a sprained right shoulder, also Justin Hamilton is now upgraded to probable with an illness and Joe Harris has already been ruled out. This could open a lot of minutes in the Brooklyn back court, with KJ McDaniels seeing additional playing time and Sean Kilpatrick...

Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $9200 DK - $9600Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 45.33 DK - 48.61 Damian Lillard gets us started tonight at the point. Portland welcomes the Nets to town tonight and we all know what that means. If you're new to this whole DFS thing, we like to target fast paced that are teams poor on defense and the Nets are among the fastest and the poorest. Portland on the other hand has won only 2 of their last 6 contests, and will come in riding high on the tail of a win against the Thunder Thursday night, a game in which Lillard scored 33 points going 11 of 23 from the field and 3 of 9 from beyond the arc. Round out the night with 4 rebounds 5 assists and a steal and we have Lillard paying value in his third straight game. The minutes are secure, the production has been consistent and the match up is phenomenal. Need I say more? Chris Paul FD - $9600 DK - $8900Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 47.7 DK - 50.4 So, we now have CP3 with three games back from a lengthy absence and we see that so far, the shooting has not been pretty. He's only making 33.3% from the field to this point. Before you question his appearance here among these fine Saturday night picks, lets look at the match ups to date. His first game back was against San Antonio, the Spurs are the third toughest defense against opposing point guards and in 31 minutes Paul managed a mere 3.3X points per dollar. Next up, Charlotte a more average match up and even with his poor shooting Paul still managed a 5.5X performance and came a rebound shy or a triple double. Most recently, the Rockets, another top ten defense, and another sub-par performance. Tonight the Clippers head to Chicago and the Bulls are more on par with the Hornets of the...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kemba Walker FD - $8200 DK - $8300Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 41.31 DK - 44.19 The Hornets are 2-8 in their last ten games and are currently 2.5 games out of the 8 spot in the east. Tonight they stay out in La La Land to take on the Lakers, a team they should, and must beat. It's been a dismal month and Kemba Walker will look to turn things around tonight in a fast paced shoot out against a defense that is overly generous to point guards. The Lakers are allowing 3% more points and 9% more assists to the position this season and Walker's been shooting exceptionally well lately scoring 34 points in 2 of his last 3 and paying 5X value in 3 of his last 5. An excellent play in all formats. Damian Lillard FD - $8400 DK - $8400Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 41.36 DK - 44.38 Another guy who has been finding the net easily recently is Damian Lillard. He's scored at least 20 points in 7 of his last 8 games, and has sunk at least one trey in 38 straight. While the Pistons are not the Lakers, they are a bottom ten defense at the position, they do however play at a much slower pace. This could limit Lillards upside some. There is little blowout risk here so Lillard should see his usual allotment of minutes in the mid thirties. I like Lillard just fine for cash but feel he lacks the upside needed for a big tournament. George Hill FD - $6000 DK - $6400Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 32.47 DK - 34.27 Stepping out of the shadows of Gordon Hayward and Rudy Gobert is George Hill. The Jazz have gone 7-3 this month, due in part to Hill stepping up his game. In the month, he's averaging 19.1 points per game, 2.9 from beyond, along with 3.6 assists, 2.4 boards and 1.3 steals. All the while the price has hovered right around the 6k mark. Tonight he'll contend with the Thunder and Russell Westbrook, but while Russ may be a triple double threat, OKC is a bottom ten defense at the one and allows 7% more rebounds, 5% more...

If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below! START YOUR FREE TRIAL! What We Know Kenneth Faried is out tonight for the Nuggets. Faried has been ruled out for tonights game against the Grizzlies. Wilson Chandler becomes a nice option, especially if he draws the start. Darrell Arthur and Juan Hernangomez also pick up a slight boost in value with Faried off the court. Kyle Lowry is out indefinitely. Lowry sustained an injury to his wrist Feb 15th against Charlotte and aggravated it during the all star festivities. He is currently listed as out indefinitely with no timetable for return. Look for Corey Joseph to start in his place and DeMar DeRozan to take on more responsibilities with Lowry off the court. Avery Bradley did not travel with the Celtics on their two game roadtrip. Bradley did not travel with the team and was out Friday night against the Raptors, and has been ruled out again tonight against Detroit. Marcus Smart should see the bulk of Bradleys minutes tonight. Victor Oladipo is out tonight against the Pelicans Victor Oladipo will miss tonights game against New Orleans, the second game he will miss with back spasms. Alex Abrines should draw another start and Russell Westbrook sees a bump in usage with Oladipo off the court. What We're Waiting to Know Cody Zeller is doubful against the Clippers. Cody Zeller is doubtful against the Clippers tonight, if he misses look for Frank Kaminzky to draw another start in his spot. Al-Farouq Aminu is probable against the Raptors. Aminu missed two games with a left knee sprain, but is looking likely to play tonight against Toronto. The "Every Lineup" Guys Russell Westbrook Westbrooks price is finally hitting the point where we have to ask ourselves is it really worth it? The projection system seems to think at this point the answer is still yes. Now, I totally understand fading Westbrook, but with the match up with New Orleans, and wondering if Jrue Holiday has a prayer of keeping up with...
