What We Know Danilo Gallinari is out vs the Mavericks Wilson Chandler is the guy who benefits most here, and is the only guy I have much interest in here against the Mavs. Nelson could also be in play if Mudiay is ruled out. Thaddeus Young is out vs the Thunder Lavoy Allen started last game and hit 40 fantasy points, in place of Thaddeus Young. While I don't expect another 40 piece from Allen, he is a fantastic play. We will touch on him later. Myles Turner could also see some more usage, but he is currently questionable. Keep an eye on twitter as the day winds down. Joakim Noah is out vs the Lakers Willy Hernangomez has been tremendous as of late, and I love him again tonight. The Lakers are weak against bigs, and Hernangomez has been an animal on both sides of the court. With over 30 fantasy points in 3 straight, I would expect nothing less. What We're Waiting to Know Jimmy Butler is questionable to play against the Kings Butler screwed a lot of people just a few nights ago, which i'm sure left a sour taste in a lot of mouths. He is officially a GTD here, and we will likely have no clue by the time lineup locks. This game is in Sacramento, and starts at 10:30 EST, 3 hours after lineup lock. If Butler misses, Wade and grant will benefit most. If Butler pays, I don't have much interest in any of them. Myles Turner is questionable with an illness Turner is an absolutely great play today, which definitely makes this news a bit disheartening. If Turner is announced as a full go, he is one of the betters centers on the board. With Thaddeus Young, this interior could become very thin. If Turner is out, you have to think Al Jefferson will get at least 25 minutes or so. He would be an interesting way...

Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $12400 DK - $12800 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 57.95 DK - 61.73 We have a 3 game slate on our hands, and there are only a couple ways to pay up. Westbrook is the top option on the entire slate, and has a great match up with the Blazers. Westbrook has been over 60 a few times in his last 10, and even hit 70 a couple times. This is a match up where that is entirely possible. Damian Lillard is one of the worst PG defenders in the league, and will have an extremely tough time with the size of Westy. Over the last 3 times these teams faced off, Westbrook put up very solid FD totals of 58, 65 and 68. I would project him for a similar number tonight, with the upside for 80. The Blazers are also one of the worst rebounding teams in the league, which should give Westbrook an easy shot at a triple double. The price is definitely high here, but you have to strongly consider him on a slate where he could be the only player to eclipse 50. Westbrook isn't a must play, but is a great one. Kyle Lowry FD - $9000 DK - $9200 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 47.6 DK - 51.03 Cory Joseph FD - $3500 DK - $3200 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 19.67 DK - 20.55 At the time of writing this, I have absolutely no idea what is going on here. Derozan has been out for about a week, though he did partially practice yesterday. He, along with Kyle Lowry and Patrick Patterson, is questionable. Lowry didn't practice due to an illness, and his status could be in serious jeopardy here. If Lowry does miss, you can just pug in Cory Joseph. He is already a good play right now, and would be a 100% must play if Lowry is ruled out. If Lowry does play, you have to give him a lot of consideration. I don't think he plays against the Nets unless he is fully healthy, and the Q tag could keep his ownership down. Dinwiddie and Isaiah Whitehead have no chance to cover...

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 Danilo Gallinari is out vs the Bucks Gallinari sees to battle a different injur every game, and it's his groin giving him troubles this time. Wilson Chandler will get the start, and he is an interesting option for tournaments. he loves to shoot, and should have the green light with Gallo out. Barton and Gary Harirs could also see some more minutes, and both of those guys are viable. What We're Waiting to Know Demar Derozan is questionable to play vs the Raptors Derozan looks to be truly 50/50 tonight, though we do know exactly how to handle it either way. If Derozan sits, Lowry and Powell are both elite plays. If Derozan plays, everyone is a tournament option against the Magic. Julius Randle is questionable with an illness Randle has been quite annoying lately, as he has forced us to watch news up until slate, waiting to find out whether we should play Zubac or not. At this point, i think the minutes are there no matter what. Zubac has done more than enough to prove his offensive ability, and I just don't see any chance the Lakers bench him for a full game. He should be a lock for 15 minutes each game. There is just no reason for Timofey Mozgov to play and the young guy to sit. The "Every Lineup" Guys Giannis Antetokounmpo ABC has been struggling a lot lately, and think this is a fantastic spot for him to turn it around. The Nuggets are a team that has a lot of weak spots, and most fit with the game Antetokounmpo brings. The Nuggets have ranked dead last in terms of rebounds allowed to guards, and 3rd in assists. While Antetokounmpo really isn't a prototypical guard per say, he has the ball in his hands a lot and controls the offense. I would expect Wilson handler to cover him, and he will not have much of a...

What We Know LaMarcus Aldridge has been ruled out vs the 76ers With Gasol already out indefinitely, there are a lot of minutes up for grabs. David Lee is a great play, and we will touch on him in a bit. Dewayne Dedmon and Kawhi could also see a few extra minutes, and Kawhi is a guy who will be very popular tonight. I am on the train and willing to play Leonard in cash as well as tournaments. Draymond Green is out vs the Clippers Dray messed up his shoulder last night, and I expect him to only miss 1 game here. This does open up a spot where we didn't have much interest before. With Pachulia already out, Looney and McAdoo should see most the minutes but are nothing more than tournament plays for me. I see Kevin Durant getting the biggest bump here, as they will now need help rebounding and moving the ball. Durant should be able to step in and handle most of Green's responsibilities. I'm a fan of Durant in all formats. Joel Embiid & Robert Covington are out vs the Spurs Both of these guys play big minutes and take a lot of shots. They also both missed last game, so we have a pretty good gauge of who will pick up minutes. Jahlil Okafor, Nerlens Noel, Dario Saric and Ersan Ilyasova all saw generous minutes, and are in play tonight. While the match up with the Spurs isn't great, this is a 4 game slate and we have to take what we can get. Noel is my favorite, as I think he matches up with David Lee very well. Still out - What We're Waiting to Know Thabo Sefolosha is questionable vs the Rockets Thabo may not be a very fantasy relevant player, but he does matter in the grand scheme. If he misses, Tim Hardaway Jr. will get the start and be a very good play...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $6100 DK - $5700 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 30.74 DK - 33.51 We enter into this 4 game slate with a very few ways to go at point guard. Russell is the guy we will have most exposure to, as the match up is right and the PACE should be just high. Russell had a huge game last time out vs the Nuggets, and I would expect a similar performance tonight. John Wall is a good man to man defender, but struggles in transition and gives up a lot open 3 pointers. Russell is generally more of a tournament option, but i'm willing to use him in cash games on this slate, where there is an overall lack of floor at PG. Though Russell isn't completely safe, he is as good as it will get at PG.  John Wall is a tad bit overpriced tonight, and I planned on having no exposure. what leaves me with a lot of these 3 guys we will talk about. Russell is way under priced, and I will have exposure across the entire industry. Dennis Schroder FD - $6700 DK - $6400 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 31.25 DK - 34.03 We ended up with an Atlanta Hawk at every position, so you will have to pick your spots. Schroder does have one of the worst match up son the team, but is still in a very good spot. Sure, Beverley is a wonderful defender, but it doesn't matter when the other PG has the ball an extra 20 times and take an extra 8 shots. That makes up for the quality defense, and I wouldn't worry about Schroder hurting you too badly. I look at him as an extremely safe option, and a way to go in cash games. He is obviously viable in tournaments as well, sitting in the mid $6k's on both sites. I look for Schroder to be about 30% owned, which is right where he should be. There is a merit in fading Schroder, but you better be stacking up some other Hawks. A few of these guys are going to have big games. Austin Rivers FD - $5800 DK - $6400 Opponent - GS...
