We've got you completely covered. Point Guard John Wall FD - $9700 DK - $9500Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 47.14 DK - 50.23 There is certainly some concern over the right pinkie, I feel the pros far outweigh the cons here. This is a match up against the fast paced, not very good at basketball 76ers. Reports said Wall was practicing shooting with his pinkie adjusted off of the ball. While that could impact his offensive performance, I'd look for him to just focus on more close range shots. After his performance Wednesday against the Celtics, look for folks to be off of Wall, but if he is able to transfer his adjusted shot from practice to the game, while still piling up the assists, rebounds, and steals, Wall could very well prove to be the under the radar pick of the night. Jrue Holiday FD - $6800 DK - $7300Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 34.9 DK - 37.57 Jrue had been going through a pretty rough spell there before Thursday nights win over the Nets. In that game he was good for 21 points to go along with 4 boards and 4 assists in 31 minutes. This was the first time he scored over 20 points since before Christmas. What we hope is that that Nets game was the start of Holiday bouncing back to the 30plus fantasy point player we saw throughout the end of December, which at this price point is perfect for our cash game needs. The Bulls haven't been great against opposing PGs this season, but have been the leagues worst defense against the position since benching Rajon Rondo just before New Years. If Jrue is going to have a resurgence, the time is now. T.J. McConnell FD - $5400 DK - $5600Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 25.84 DK - 27.85 There's a lot to like about this match up, and while most of it is on the Washington side, the Sixer's T.J. McConnell has been turning a lot of heads recently. Don't look now, but the Sixers are 4-1 in their last 5 games, (and quite possibly on their way to another win as I write this) and it's no coincidence that McConnell has been starting at the point during that...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard John Wall FD - $9500 DK - $9900 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 46.04 DK - 49.02 If you want to pay up at point guard tonight you don't necessarily have to break the bank to do so. John Wall is the most expensive true PG on both sites and comes in at a sub 10k price tag. For the price you get a player that is putting up career highs in points and steals per game with 23.3 and 2.3 respectively. His overall production dipped a little his last time out against the Bucks, but the Bulls are a bottom 10 defense against the position so he should bounce back to form nicely giving us a solid 5X points per dollar perfect for our cash game considerations. Dennis Schroder FD - $6900 DK - $6700 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 34.37 DK - 37.06 Rule number one of NBA daily fantasy is to target the team that plays a fast pace and is horrible against the position. And tonight Dennis Schroder hits the jackpot with the Brooklyn Nets. Schroder depends primarily on his scoring for his fantasy production as his periphs don't necessarily always amount to much, but his last few contests have seen an increase in his production scoring over 20 points in 2 straight. I'll say it again, the Nets are just plain bad, if Schroder wants to continue increasing his scoring percentages tonight he will have no problem doing just that. Marcus Smart FD - $5200 DK - $5800 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 26.65 DK - 28.78 Avery Bradley sat out on Saturday night and Marcus Smart moved right in to his spot without missing a step. He went 7 of 10 from the field with 5 three pointers to give him 22 points on the night. Add in 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and a block and you've got all the makings of a great value play. Toronto presents a stronger opponent than the Pelicans but, even if Smart can put up just half the production from Saturday he's well worth it. Shooting Guard James Harden FD - $11700 DK - $12100 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 58.15...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/8/17 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. 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.

What We Know Chandler Parsons will play tonight against the Jazz It is unusually quiet leading in to tonights main slate, this news really doesn't even have much of a fantasy impact, unless you were looking at James Ennis as a large tournament punt play. Although Parsons is still on a tight minutes restriction, returning to the bench changes Ennis from a risky punt starter to unplayable. What We're Waiting to Know Nothing. It's really been that quiet leading up to this main slate. There's no one of significance that is questionable, no one probable, no game time decisions. Unless something breaks about a player sitting for rest, we know all we really need to know going in to tonight. The "Every Lineup" Guys LeBron James A lot of people may be off this game, Vegas has the Cavs as 9 point favorites, but even if they walk away with a double digit victory, I see the king paying value and then some before it gets out of hand. The cavs tend to play down to their opponents, Phoenix could be in this one well into the fourth before the Cavs decide to turn up the heat giving LeBron his full run of minutes and opportunity in a fast paced match up to really stuff his stat sheet. James should be a lock for 50 fantasy points this evening and makes for a great cash game play. Serge Ibaka Ibaka has taken some time finding himself with the Magic but it seems he's starting to look like the Serge of old. He's only had 4 double double this season, but 3 of them have come in his past 8 games. The rebounds seem to be on the upswing, and as long as his shot is falling, they should start coming with a little more consistency, and what better night than tonight against the Lakers. Julius Randle just doesn't have what it takes on defense to...

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 J.J. Barea will play tonight. Barea told reporters earlier today that he will play tonight against the Hawks. Bareas return creates a logjam in the Mavericks back court, so we will have to wait and see how his return will impact Seth Curry and Devin Harris, or if Barea sees a more limited run sharing time with those two. George Hill will play tonight. Hill will return to the starting lineup tonight for the Jazz, sending Shelvin Mack back to the bench. Hill comes in at an affordable price and could make for a good tournament play against the Timberwolves slightly below league average defense. What We're Waiting to Know Will the Pistons/Blazers game happen? This is a big one. Currently there's an ice storm in Portland and there's talk of postponing the game tonight. Of course, it's the last game of the evening, so hopefully we get word in time. For what it's worth, the Portland minor league hockey team that play nearby have already postponed their game for tonight. If word doesn't come in time, I would fade this one entirely, unless you're feeling adventurous in a gpp. Cody Zeller is questionable against the Spurs. Zeller has already missed 3 straight games, and is a game time decision tonight. If he should sit a fourth game, Roy Hibbert would likely draw the start again, though the primary beneficiary so far has been Frank Kaminsky who could make for a good value option. Patrick Patterson is questionable against the Bulls. Patterson has missed three games with a strained left knee and could sit again tonight against the Bulls. If he doesn't go then Lucas Nogueira would make an interesting punt starting at the 4, Jonas Valanciunas could also potentially see more run. The "Every Lineup" Guys Jeremy Lamb With Nicolas Batum out, Lamb will draw the start tonight against the Spurs. In his only other start this season against the Knicks...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $12200 DK - $12900 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 59.78 DK - 63.77 We start out where we tend to always start out on nights when the Thunder play. Russell Westbrook is something of a machine on the boards and must be thrown in to the conversation every time he plays. Interestingly enough on this 8 game slate we only have 2 players priced over 10k. We'll get to Anthony Davis a little later, but as for Westbrook the numbers can't be disputed. 37 games in and he's averaging a triple double per game with a 31.4/10.5/10.3 and tonight he draws the Nuggets who are second only to the Nets in fantasy points allowed to opposing PGs. Russ is a clear play in any format. Kemba Walker FD - $7600 DK - $7900 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 37.88 DK - 40.12 If Westbrook just doesn't do it for you or you need to fill that second PG spot, I present to you, Kemba Walker. Walker dropped 32 points to go along with 5 assists and 7 rebounds on Thursday against the Pistons. This was the third time in the last 4 games he put up at least 30 points. The Spurs run a similar pace as the Pistons and are actually stingier at the position. With this in mind, I would limit Kemba to cash games as his upside could be limited. Jrue Holiday FD - $7000 DK - $7000 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 34.74 DK - 37.13 Jrue Holiday has solidified his role in New Orleans seeing a steady run of minutes in the mid to upper 30s since early December and generally paying off a fantasy point per minute. At this price, he presents a strong argument for his consideration in your lineups. Tonight he draws a favorable matchup with Boston who are allowing 3% more points and rebounds to opposing point guards this year. I like the 2 guys above for cash games, but can see pivoting to Jrue for separation in a tournament. Strongly consider Isaiah Thomas, the price is steep but if you find good value elsewhere it could be a nice spot to spend up....
