We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Brandon Jennings FD - $4600 DK - $4400 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 28.27 DK - 30.94 Derrick Rose left last game, and we are expecting him to miss this one. If Rose plays, Jennings is nowhere near as good of a play. Rose has missed 3 games over the last 20, and Jennings has been great in his spot. In those 3 games, Jennings finished with 27, 34 and 27. He also hit over 20 in a few games where Rose did play. The Hawks haven't been great against PG's this season, as Dennis Schroder is a much worse defender than Jeff Teague. Jennings takes plenty of shots, and he is not shy about having the ball in his hand. He should see an easy 34 minutes if Rose is out, and will be a lock for cash games. He would be close to a tournament must as well, as his upside combined with price gives him the capability to be a guy that could be a must to win. With that being said, there are always a lot of ways to go at point guards, and today is no different. Let's take a look at a few guys you can target if you want to pay up. John Wall FD - $10200 DK - $9800 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 49.16 DK - 52.37 Wall has been awesome this year, and it doesn't look like he plans on letting up anytime soon. The Pelicans present an interest match up, and one I have a lot of interest in. Jrue Holiday is a decent man to man defender, but the Pelicans play fast and have poor defensive efficiency. In result, they give up the 8th most fantasy points to PG's. Wall is the guy who makes this offense go, and he should be right back at it tonight against the Pels. The minutes are a guarantee, as the Wizards didn't play yesterday and they don't play tomorrow. This is a game with a lot of upside, and I love a game stack in tournaments. If this stays close, Wall, Beal, AD and Holiday all have a bunch of upside. Wall is someone I will have exposure to in all...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/27/17 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. 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 Demar Derozan is out vs the Bucks Derozan has missed the previous 2 games, and Norman Powell has taken the most advantage. He has destroyed value in 2 straight games, and would expect the same here. Kyle Lowry has also picked up some usage, and could have a huge game. Hassan Whiteside is out vs the Bulls This kind of came out of nowhere, but opens up a cheap option for sure. Willie Reed becomes a fantastic option, and we will talk about him in a bit. James Johnson could also get more run, but is nothing more than a tournament option against the Bulls. Eric Gordon is listed as doubtful to play Gordon sat out last game vs Boston, and Sam Dekker ended up seeing 29 minutes. Dekker remains a good play tonight, and he has a ton of upside. Corey Brewer could also pick up some more run, but he isn't just not too productive when on the court. What We're Waiting to Know Kawhi Leonard is questionable to play vs Pelicans Everyone thought this injury was just a fake story to let Kawhi take a game or two off, but this looks like it might be real. If he plays tonight, he is an interesting option in tournaments and should go way under owned. If he misses, Kyle Anderson, David Lee and LaMarcus Aldridge all gain a lot of traction. Evan Fournier is questionable vs the Celtics Fournier is a guy who shoots a lot when on the court, so his absence does matter. Fournier has been out for a while, and C.J. Watson has been getting the most minutes. Ibaka and Payton also get a bump, and I have a lot of interest in both. The "Every Lineup" Guys Elfrid Payton Payton is still just way too cheap here, given what his role on this offense is. Sure, he disappointed a lot of people last time out, but...

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 Dirk Nowitzki, Deron Williams & Wesley Matthews will sit out tonight D-Will and Wes both take up a ton of minutes at guard, so we have to look a bunch at this situation. Pierre Jackson and Seth Curry are two guys I absolutely love, and they should both be in for big minutes. They can be used in cash games and formats. At forward, we could see some extra minutes out of Dwight Powell, but he is very uncertain. We have seen him disappoint in spots just like this, so I will only consider him in tournaments. What We're Waiting to Know Julius Randle is questionable to play with an illness This news came out today, so I would put him a little more towards doubtful. If Randle does play tonight, I have no interest against the Jazz interior. If Randle is forced to miss, we should see some extra run out of Brandon Ingram and Thomas Robinson. Both of those guys have upside and could be deployed in large field tournaments. Rodney Hood is questionable to play vs the Lakers Hood has been out for about a week, so his return could cloudy up the situation. Joe Johnson and Joe Ingles have both been seeing additional minutes, and they would both see big hits if Hood plays. Against the Lakers, we will want to keep close track of this situation. If Hood does miss again, I could see the merit in Ingles for cash games. The "Every Lineup" Guys Gordon Hayward Hayward is a super solid option on a nightly basis, and this match up is phenomenal. He will see Luol Deng and Brandon Ingram for the most part, and should have success against both. Hayward may nt have the crazy upside that Westbrook or Jokic does, but he has one of the best chances of hitting value in cash games. The Jazz have a lot of options on the offense,...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA? Be sure to read our free NBA Ebook on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $12700 DK - $12600 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 55.81 DK - 59.81 We have a pretty interesting 4 game slate tonight, and Westbrook is going to come is as our top point guard. The price is obviously tough, but the numbers don't lie. He is consistently the top scoring player on the board, and will very rarely kill you. This game does come in with a 201 over/under, which is very low for the OKC Thunder. That does worry me a little bit, but I do think he is easily the top scoring play of the day. Deron Williams got hurt last night, and Wesley Matthews has already been ruled out. That leaves Pierre Jackson and Seth Curry for PG, and neither of those guys can play defense. Westbrook is going to absolutely obliterate both of them, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Harrison Barnes on him by the end of the night. With so much value on this slate, Westbrook will be a staple across my lineups. Jeff Teague FD - $7500 DK - $7200 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 35.7 DK - 38.51 Teague has flown under the radar for the majority of this season, but has been very good. You could make an argument that he's been the best player on this team so far, and you would probably be right. The Pacers haven't played in 3 days, so these guys should be pretty well rested. I would expect big minutes from Teague, who is the catalyst and heartbeat of this offense. He has a good match up too, facing off with Ricky Rubio and Kris Dunn. Both of them are great at getting steals, but not too great at real defense. Teague will be able to get to the rim at will, and the open shots will be available. His price is pretty fair on both sites, sitting in the mid $7k's. He should hit value with ease, and the ceiling in tournaments is there as well. We have seen big games from Teague this year, and this could be one of them. You will have to get point guard right on this slate, and there are a few...

What We Know Demar Derozan will remain out vs the Grizzlies, as expected Derozan said he would sit out this game, and he confirmed it against last night. Norman Powell got the start, and he produced. I like him again tonight, and will have exposure in cash games and tournaments. Terrence Ross could also see some minutes, and he has a ton of tournaments upside. Joel Embiid & Jahlil Okafor are both expected to remain out Embiid & Okafor both sat yesterday, and Nerlens Noel certainly took advantage. He played 29 minutes, and came through with 45 fantasy points. 29 minutes should be his floor tonight, and I could see him grabbing 35. Ersan Ilyasova will also see a usage bump, and he is a great play across the board. What We're Waiting to Know Tyreke Evans is questionable against the Thunder Tyreke is still only playing about 20 minutes, so his absence wouldn't do too much for me. I will likely be fading Evans either way, and anyone who would potentially replace him. Anthony Davis is the only guy I have interest here tonight. Cody Zeller & Frank Kaminsky are questionable vs the Warriors Zeller was one of the cheaper guys I liked at center coming into the day, but this news certainly dampens him. If one of these guys misses and one plays, I like the one that plays. If they both miss, you have to look at Spencer Hawes. He would be forced to play 28 minutes, and is always a great FP per minute guy. The "Every Lineup" Guys Goran Dragic We talked about both of these guys in the main picks article, and they remain some of my favorite plays. Dragic is being touted a lot today around the industry, but rightfully so. The Nets play extremely fast, and are atrocious against point guards. Dragic can easily take over a game, and his upside is crazy if the shot is...
