What We Know Eric Gordon is out against the Timberwolves Gordon is a gunslinger off the bench, so his absence will eave some shots. Corey Brewer will grab the majority of the minutes, and Sam Dekker is pretty interesting off the beech as well. However, I think this helps Harden most. He will shoot a few more 3s, and anything helps at his inflated price tag. He is a good play in all formats, but you must consider what he does to the rest of the lineup. What We're Waiting to Know Avery Bradley is questionable against the Warriors Bradley affects a ton, from Marcus Smart to Bradley Beal. If he misses, Marcus Smart, Isaiah Thomas, John Wall and Bradley Beal all become better plays, for various reasons. Smart and Wall are my favorite of the bunch, and I like Beal and Thomas in tournaments. Jae Crowder may also pick up some usage, and he is a decent middle tier SF option. Serge Ibaka and Elfrid Payton questionable to play the Clippers Both of these guys are important to this offense, and we haven't seen both of them out at the same time. If both of them do miss, I will have a ton of Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic. I will also have exposure to Evan Fournier and D.J. Augustin, who will pick up minutes and usage. If only one misses, you can plug in whoever starts for the guy who is out. I like Aaron Gordon either way here. Zach LaVine is "unlikely" to play LaVine is top 5 in the league in minutes per game, and he shoots a lot too. Last time he was out, Nemanja Bjelica played 41 minutes, and had a huge fantasy game. He is a good option off the bench, and all the starts see a bump too. This bumps KAT and Wiggins to elite plays, as they figure to see the ball a lot more, and...

Point Guard John Wall FD - $9500 DK - $9200 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 45.06 DK - 47.93 John Wall had a very nice game last night, finishing with 26 points and 14 assists. He played 40 minutes, which admittedly scares me a little bit. With that being said, he has played 2 back to backs recently, and played over 36 minutes in all 4 of the games. Isaiah Thomas is not a dominant defender, and is also coming off of a highly competitive game with the Raptors. They may put Marcus Smart on him at some point as well, but he is not fast enough nor skilled enough to stay with John Wall. Wall is expensive, but has a great floor and a ceiling high enough for tournaments. Point guard is a deep position, so I don't mind going elsewhere. However, that may keep his ownership down, and that is something that needs to be taken advantage of if the case. Damian Lillard FD - $9000 DK - $8500 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 43.98 DK - 47.05 Lillard missed 4 or 5 games least week and returned on Thursday against the Lakers, playing 36 minutes and scoring 45 fantasy points. He then played over 40 minutes against Detroit on Sunday. The Blazers are comfortable stretching Lillard out, and he has a fantastic match up. The Cavs have  a great team defense, but can definitely give it up to the point guard. Kyrie Irving is easily the Cavs worst defender, and Lillard will look to take advantage. Lillard is a tad bit cheaper, and this is a game I will look to target a ton in tournaments. Lillard is definitely a tournament play, and I wouldn't shy away from him in cash games, but do prefer Wall there.  Lillard only played 31 minutes last night, so I think his minutes are pretty safe here. Mike Conley FD - $7200 DK - $6900 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 35.47 DK - 37.62 The Grizzlies and Thunder faced off a little more than a week ago, and Conley was forced to sit with an injury. He will get his chance to do his damage tonight, in a game that...

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 Jimmy Butler & Dwayne Wade will sit out against the Wizards This leaves a ton of shots and minutes in the air. Jerian Grant is the first guy I look to, as he initiated offense, which is what they will need in this game. Doug McDermott and Nikola Mirotic should also see some more minutes and shots, and I like them both. The Wizards play at a fast pace, and you have to think some of these Bulls are going to kill value. Avery Bradley is out vs the Raptors Bradley missed last game, and Marcus Smart definitely took advantage. i wouldn't expect another performance that great, but he is deifnitely in play across the board. DeMar DeRozan will also see slightly worse defense from Marcus Smart, though he is a still an above average defender. Isaiah Thomas remains a great play in all formats and he will see his usage go up slightly. Josh Richardson isn't expected to play against the Warriors J-Rich has been averaging 36 minutes per game for the heat in December/January, so there are definitely some minutes up for grabs. Goran Dragic should play a ton tonight, along with James Johnson and Hassan Whiteside. i think everyone else sees around 28 minutes, and has a lot of upside. This game could work well for Tyler Johnson, who excels in fast paced affairs. I like this game a lot tonight, but mostly from the Heat side. LaMarcus Aldridge is out for rest purposes Aldridge is going to get a few games like this all year long, and we will look right to Kawhi Leonard and Pau Gasol. Both of them should see 34 minutes, and have a ton of safety and upside against the Bucks. Leonard has one of the better possible match ups, and I will have a ton of exposure to him in both cash games and tournaments, especially if Antetokounmpo is out. Klay Thompson will...

We've got you completely covered.     *Note - DraftKings has included the 12:00 game between the Nets and 76ers on a morning slate. I didn't highlight any plays in the article, mostly because they are unplayable on FanDuel and most other sites around the industry. Sergio Rodriguez is questionable, and if he misses, T.J. McConnell will be a must play. Joel Embiid is also a terrific play, along with Ersan Ilyasova. On the Nets side, I have much less interest. Trevor Booker would be in a good spot, but you can't trust that the minutes will be there.   Point Guard Early Malcolm Brogdon FD - $4600 DK - $5600 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 25.01 DK - 26.71 Dellavedova may return today, but Brogdon will likely remain the starter. He has played great, and the return of Dellavedova will hurt Jason Terry, and he will probably lose all of them. I expect Brogdon to see around 32 minutes, and this match up sets up well. John Wall isn't a bad defender, but plays fast and has no problem giving up some points. As long as he can get his, he will run the floor and be fine with a fast paced, high scoring game. That could work well for Brogdon, who gets his ceiling from his peripherals. He had a triple double just a week ago. Brogdon has gotten a noticeble price bump, but is still too cheap. He is priced around the likes of Raymond Felton and Pat Beverley, who are far inferior plays. Brogdon is the best point per dollar play at PG in the early slate, and you should have exposure in all formats. The only way I get off of Brogdon is if Dellavedova is announced as the starter or main recipient of minutes. Late Eric Bledsoe FD - $7800 DK - $6900 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 40.09 DK - 42.71 I love targeting this game tonight, along with the affair in Los Angeles. Bledsoe figures to be in a great pot tonight, especially if this stays close. Kyrie has never been known for his defense, and for good reason. The Cavs have a good team defense, so his holes are constantly covered. There is a chance DeAndre Liggins gets...

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 Chris Paul is probable to play against the Kings Chris Paul has been out for about a week and a half now, and it looks like he will return tonight. This draws most attention away from the guards, outside of Redick in tournaments. DeAndre Jordan gains some interest, as CP3 makes him much better. Hassan Whiteside is out against the Lakers Whiteside is really the only real presence the Heat have down low, and he leaves a big hole. James Johnson and Willie Reed will get the most run, and Johnson is my favorite. With Winslow already out for the year, Johnson has safe minutes no matter what. Jamychal Green has been ruled out against the Celtics Green plays almost 30 minutes per game for the Grizzlies, and his absence leaves us some opportunity. Zach Randolph is the obvious guy, and I do like him. James Ennis will also get a bump, and I like him a lot. He can run with the Warriors, and is a great FP per minute play. What We're Waiting to Know Klay Thompson is questionable against the Grizzlies I am going to avoid the Warriors tonight, but this could open something up. If Thompson misses, Curry and Durant should pick up some extra shots. Both would turn into solid tournament options for me. Sergio Rodriguez has been downgraded to questionable Rodriguez started the day probable, so this tag is surprising. He has been out for a while, and now that a downgrade occured, I would expect him to miss this one. T.J. McConnell will step right back in and be a great play. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is a GTD against the Cavs If he misses this one, LeBron James would basically be uncovered. They have no other big guys who are athletic enough to stay with him. Bogan Bogdanovic may also pick up some minutes, but I have no interest outside of tournaments. The "Every Lineup" Guys...
