We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $8300 DK - $8600 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 41.22 DK - 44.52 There are definitely a few ways to go here at point guard. If you want to pay way up, you have Russell Westbrook. Westbrook takes on the Pelicans tonight, and I like him in tournaments. In cash games, Damian Lillard is the most expensive I will be going. He gets a great match up with the Lakers here who give up the 4th most FP to point guards. Lillard has shown the upside recently, and I think he is safe for a cash game as well as a tournaments. With D'Angelo Russell out, you can expect Lou Williams and Jordan Clarkson to cover Lillard for the most part. He is faster and stronger than both of those guys, and will have no problem enforcing his will. The price is a little high, but that should keep ownership down a little bit. Goran Dragic FD - $7000 DK - $7300 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 39.72 DK - 42.29 This is the same drill we have been running for a while now. Who's playing the Nets? Ok, let's play that PG and C. The Nets are a horrid defense, and the pace they play at helps none. The Heat usually play at slow pace, so this uptick in possessions could cause some huge games. Dragic is one of my favorite Heat tonight, and should be a virtual lock for 40 in cash games. Spencer Dinwiddie and Sean Kilpatrick are both poor defenders, and Dragic will eat up both. He is priced fairly, sitting just above $7k. The upside is there for much more than 40 from Dragic, and he has shown that a few times already this season. You can target the Dragon is cash games and tourneys. Kemba Walker FD - $7800 DK - $7900 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 38.91 DK - 41.49 There really are a lot of ways to go at point guard, and I think Kemba is a way to go that has crazy upside and a decent amount of safety. First of all, Walker and the Hornets are MUCH better at home, and I think...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 1/24/17 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 will sit out the next 2 games This isn't too great of a match up against the Spurs, but you have to consider Kyle Lowry. He will see a huge bump in minutes, and the Spurs aren't great against point guards. Norman Powell and Terrence Ross could also see some extended run, and they are great tournament options. Joel Embiid is out for 2 more games Embiid basically makes this team decent, so him being out really hurts. Okafor and Noel will both see minutes, and I see the merit in using both. The Clippers are very average against big men, so both have tournament upside. Blake Griffin will likely return tonight This definitely makes the Clippers a bit of a mess, but there may be somewhere to go. The 76ers will be without Embiid, which makes them very weak down low. Griffin will likley play limited minutes, and this will take away all interest from Mbah a Moute. Tony Parker will sit vs the Raptors Parker will likely miss the next 2 games, and this is a spot I will only touch in tournaments. Dejounte Murray has been starting, but the minutes have basically been split. I think either guy could get more minutes, and both can be used in tournaments. Kawhi Leonard should also see some more time at point. What We're Waiting to Know Emmanuel Mudiay is unlikely to play vs the Jazz Mudiay plays big minutes for the Nuggets, so we definitely have a few places to look. Jameer Nelson is one of my favorite value plays at PG, though the match up with the Jazz isn't too fun. Will Barton will play the minutes, but like Nelson, has to face the Jazz defense. The "Every Lineup" Guys John Wall Wall and the Celtics have a nice rivalry going, which should make this one very fun. I expect both superstars to show up, and neither can...

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 Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is likely to return KCP has been out for quite a while, and it looks like he will return here against the Kings. The Kings are bad against SG's, but I also expect KCP to be on a minutes limit. I don't think he has the upside, and doubt they push him too hard in his first game back. Stanley Johnson and Reggie Bullock will both lose minutes, and I don't have interest in either. Andre Iguodala will rest vs the Heat Iguodala is just taking a day off, and I don't think this really does much. Iggy usually plays 25 minutes, but I think they just get spread out between 2 or 3 bench guys. The starters are still great plays, but this news doesn't change much. Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili are both out Patty Mills and Dejounte Murray will both see a big uptick in minutes, and I have interest in both. Mills is the safer option, but you never know who Pop will throw out there. Danny Green also has his minutes solidified, but he is also bad. What We're Waiting to Know Steven Adams is questionable against the Jazz I don't expect Adams to play today, but it is definitely possible. If he does play, I have interest in him. They will need him out there to stay with Rudy Gobert, as he is the only one who has the proper size. If he misses, Enes Kanter is someone you have to consider. He should play 30 minutes, and has a ton of upside. The "Every Lineup" Guys Kawhi Leonard Leonard has been insane lately. He is the first player in Spurs history to put up 30 points in 6 straight games, which is amazing when you consider the history of that organization. He should have no problem continuing that trend tonight, and a horrible Nets team. Both of the every lineup guys will come...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Kyle Lowry FD - $8600 DK - $8500 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 42.34 DK - 45.66 Eric Bledsoe FD - $8300 DK - $8400 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 40.47 DK - 43.56 We have a spread out 4 game slate on our hands, and it's a little bit weird. We have 3 games with high over/unders, and the 4th being the one with most value. You should be able to pay up today, but it could end up creating a lot of overlay. This is a day where or 2 weird decisions can give you a great ownership advantage in tournaments. Lowry and the Raptors will host the Suns, who are coming off of a 107-105 win to the Knicks just last night. I personally do like Lowry a tad bit more, but could easily see Bledsoe having the bigger day. I expect Lowry to play big minutes here, and the rest day for Demar Derozan is coming. It likely won't happen today, but there is a chance. Both of these guys are actually pretty good defenders, but by no means shutdown. The Suns are technically worse against PG's, giving up 45 FanDuel PPG to the Raptors 43. These guys are basically identical in terms of price, and I expect the ownership to be similar as well. I will go with Lowry in both formats, but will also have exposure to Bledsoe. This position, like the rest, is a bit murky tonight. Any safety you can find holds a premium, and both of these guys are absolutely safe. Jordan Clarkson FD - $4400 DK - $4800 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 24.58 DK - 26.58 This game between the Lakers and Mavericks offers the most value on this slate, but is also the slowest. With D'Angelo Russell out for at least a week, there will be about 30 guard minutes up for grabs. With sites not having time to adjust yet, all of these guys have to be in consideration. Clarkson should man a lot of point guard minutes, and has a fantastic match up against the Deron Williams. Clarkson has shown the ability to produce when given the opportunity, so I expect nothing less...

What We Know Rudy Gay is out for the season Gay has been battling injuries all year, and this one will put him out for good. DeMarcus Cousins is the obvious guy who benefits, and he is a fantastic play night in and night out. Matt Barnes and Tolliver could also see some more run, and I like Tolliver in tournaments. Darren Collison has been picking up some steam lately, and he could be in for some big tournament games. Evan Fournier & Jodie Meeks are out against the Bucks Fournier looks to be dealing with a pretty bad foot injury, and he could be out for a little while. Elfrid Payton and Serge Ibaka will pick up some usage, and Mario Hezonja will get a bunch of minutes. All 3 guys can be used in different formats. What We're Waiting to Know Luol Deng is questionable vs Pacers Luol Deng has been in and out for the last couple games, and looks truly questionable to play tonight. The Pacers play fast, and there will be opportunities to make shots and get rebounds. If Deng plays, i don't mind him. I won't go out of my way to grab him, but he is fine. If Deng misses, Brandon Ingram and Nick Young could also pick up a few minutes, and they are both willing to shoot. Patrick Patterson & Lucas Nogueira are both unlikely to play PatPat and Nogueira are both questionable here, and there has to be something here. If one plays and one misses, the one that plays is a solid option. If they both play, I will avoid. If both guys sit out, Pascal Siakam and Jonas Valunciunas will have secured minutes and should both play well. You can consider Siakam in tournaments and Valunciunas can be played in all formats. The "Every Lineup" Guys Kevin Durant I expect this game to stay close, and Durant is...
