What We Know Wesley Matthews is expected to play tonight against San Antonio. Matthews has missed two games with a hip sprain, but practiced yesterday and is fully expected to go tonight. Dallas is hurting in the back court with Deron Williams and J.J. Barea still out so there could be a lot of minutes to go around presenting some value even in a tough match up with the Spurs. Joel Embiid is out tonight against the Bulls. Embiid was held out for three games with a sore knee but returned on Friday against Houston only to complain about more soreness following the game. Nerlens Noel has been a tremendous fantasy value in recent games without Embiid and Jahlil Okafor, who is currently questionable. Consider Noel an excellent play now, and if word comes that Okafor is out, he will push to must play territory. Steph Curry is out tonight against Portland. Curry will miss his first game of the season tonight as the Warriors travel to Portland to take on the Blazers. Shaun Livingston will most likely draw the start and makes a nice tournament play. The rest of the Golden State starters all see a nice boost in expectation as well with Kevin Durant (see below) moving to near must play status. KD sees a 6.2% usage differential with Curry off the court this season. What We're Waiting to Know DeMar DeRozan is questionable tonight against the Magic. DeRozan has missed 3 games already with an ankle sprain. Expect Norman Powell to draw the start again if DeRozan sits for one more. If he is cleared to play, I would exercise caution rostering him until we see how comfortable Toronto is returning him to his full usage. Evan Fournier is questionable tonight against Orlando. Fournier practiced on Saturday for the first time in two weeks. He will be evaluated after shoot out and a decision will come closer to game time. The "Every...

Whiteside will suit up and go tonight against Detroit. Willie Reed will return to the bench and lose all value. Tyler Johnson still remains a game time decision. Cody Zeller is out tonight for the Hornets. Zeller will miss his third straight game with a quad contusion. Look for Roy Hibbert to draw the start with Spencer Hawes seeing more minutes off the bench. Nikola Jokic is out tonight for the Nuggets. The Nuggets have been without Emanuel Mudiay, and now Jokic is suffering from a strained hip flexor. Look for Kenneth Faried to see extended run and if he should draw the start in Jokics place Jusuf Nurkic becomes a great play. Al Horford is out against the Bucks. Horford was originally listed as probable but now will sit for rest tonight against Milwaukee. What We're Waiting to Know Trevor Booker is questionable against the Timberwolves tonight. Booker could miss another game due to illness, this wouldn't have a huge fantasy impact aside from maybe adding to Gorgui Diengs value, since he would now be dealing primarily with Justin Hamilton. Steph Curry is questionable for tonights game against the Clippers Curry is dealing with some quad soreness and could miss his first game of the season. If he sits, Shaun Livingston would likely draw the start and become an interesting play at point guard. The Warriors starters would all see a nice bump in usage making KD, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson more intriguing as well. Wilson Chandler is probable tonight against the Suns. Chandler is dealing with a neck strain sustained in Thursdays game against Phoenix, but is expected to play through it. The "Every Lineup" Guys Giannis Antetokounmpo I usually base these picks off of the players that appear the most in the top ten lineups put out by our projection system earlier in the day, Today, less than three hours before...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Goran Dragic FD - $7500 DK - $7500Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 37.61 DK - 40.09 Goran Dragic has been the model of consistency in the month of January. Coming in to Friday nights contest with the Bulls he's been averaging 21.6 points and 5.2 assists per game. Wednesday night against the Nets he dropped 17 going 1 for 3 from beyond and 4-5 from the line finishing the night just 1 rebound and 1 assist shy of a triple double. The price has been on a steady rise, up almost $500 from earlier in the month and if the dragon continues to perform to the level we've been seeing lately, we've got room before we see it cap out. Until then lock him in for safety. Mike Conley FD - $7000 DK - $6900Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 37.28 DK - 39.39 Mike Conley is coming in at an absolute bargain right now. His cost is at the lowest point it has been since the beginning of the month and for a player putting in minutes in the mid to upper thirties we have to take advantage of this. He has had a couple of lackluster performances recently contributing to the price decline, but if Memphis hopes to have any chance of keeping up with the Jazz it will be due to Conleys offensive contributions. The match up with Utah isn't ideal but if you're looking for a tournament play with 6X upside potential Mike Conley is your guy. Jameer Nelson FD - $4700 DK - $5300Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 22.81 DK - 24.88 With Emanuel Mudiay sidelined with a sore back, Its been the Jameer Nelson show in Denver. The price has spiked but even at his current cost, he put up a 7.5X value performance against these same Phoenix Suns. Thursday night he went for 13 points, 9 assists, 4 boards, 2 steals and a block in the home half of this home/away split. If you still aren't sold, consider Nelson sees an increase in usage and assists when Nikola Jokic isn't on the court and just think of the possibilities. I plan on having exposure to Nelson everywhere. Shooting Guard Giannis Antetokounmpo FD - $10500...

Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/24/17 Welcome to Tuesday in the NBA!! We've got an interesting 6 game slate tonight, with Vegas calling for some high scoring and as of Monday night, no blowouts. The largest spread currently sits at a mere 2.5 points. So where do we look for our value, lets ask the projection system. On to the picks!!

Point Guard Kyle Lowry FD - $8400 DK - $8800Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 39.35 DK - 42.31 Lowry had a rough night against Phoenix on Sunday, going 1 for 9 from beyond the arc before being ejected for a flagrant foul. He's going to have to put that behind him quickly though since with DeMar Derozan out for the next two games, the Raptors are going to look to him to lead the team. First up, San Antonio. The Spurs present a tough match up for Lowry coming in among the top ten defenses against opposing point guards, the thing to consider here is his price. In the past week it has slowly been trending downward. If Toronto is going to walk out with a win tonight, Lowry will have to carry them there and at this price we could be getting him at a bargain. George Hill FD - $6300 DK - $6900Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 35.62 DK - 37.51 George Hill has been hot lately, and he shows no real signs of slowing down. He's locked in at minutes in the low to mid thirties, and aside from a forgettable game against the Mavs on Friday night has regularly been paying value. Saturday night against the Pacers he put up a season high 30 points going 3-5 in three point land and 9-11 from the line. Denver is pretty bad at the point, coming in second to only the Nets and their top 5 pace factor should force Utah to step up their game a little providing a few extra looks. While certainly an option for tournaments, I think I'll stick to cash. Elfrid Payton FD - $6700 DK - $6400Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 34.21 DK - 36.16 Another hot hand coming in to tonight is Elfrid Payton. In four of his last five games Payton has easily paid value, coming in...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/22/17 (Updated for main slate) 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. 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 Ricky Rubio is out tonight against Denver. Rubio will miss for a personal matter. Kris Dunn should draw the start, and could make for an interesting value play. Emmanuel Mudiay is out against the Timberwolves. As predicted, Denver is going to hold Mudiay out tonight after leaving last nights game with a sore lower back. Will Barton should continue to be a nice play, as well as Jamal Murray and Kenneth Faried (See below). Patrick Patterson is out against Phoenix. Patterson has missed 5 straight games already and will sit out another one. The good news for Toronto is Lucas Nogueira has passed concussion protocol and is good to go for tonight's game against the Suns. The "Every Lineup" Guys DeMar DeRozan DeMar under performed Friday night against the Hornets, but he gets a nice match up today against the Phoenix Suns. Phoenix come in as a bottom ten defense against opposing shooting guards, and their top three pace factor will force Toronto to step up their own game presenting DeRozan with a few extra looks. There's value to be found in other places so I don't mind paying up for DeMar here. Kenneth Faried The Nuggets seem to like the chemistry between Faried and Nikola Jokic in the front court, so it seems he's going to remain in the starting five. He has scored in double digits in four of his last 5 games and seems to be locked in to minutes in the mid twenties to low thirties. The match up with Minnesota isn't ideal but on a 2 game main slate we can't let that deter us. Especially with Denver dealing with a lot of bites from the injury bug. It doesn't take a lot for Faried to hit value and he should be able to do so. GRAB A FREE TRIAL OF OUR PROJECTION SYSTEM, AND CHECK OUT DFSR PRO! START FREE TRIAL NOW!...
