We've got you completely covered. What We Know Tyreke Evans is out against the Sixers with rest Tyreke was ruled out a few minutes after lineup lock against the Nets and the news had plenty of people angry. The Grizzlies will rule him out well ahead of time tonight and announced that he will instead play tomorrow. With Andrew Harrison probable, we will see him get up to 30 minutes and for Briante Weber to get there as well. I’m a fan of both in both formats. Selden and McLemore could also grab a few extra minutes each, but you can do a lot better on this slate. Kyle Korver and Rodney Hood have been ruled out against the Raptors With Kyle Korver and Hood already ruled out, we’re looking at a pretty short-handed Cavs backcourt. It’s only fair with DeRozan in question. The only thing I don’t like here is that the last time Hood and Korver misses, Jose Calderon played 36 minutes. I would much rather just lean on Clarkson or J.R., but who’s to say the garbage minutes don’t lean on Calderon again. It makes these guys a little less safe in cash games, but you have to think they want to win and Clarkson + J.R. gives them a much better spot. I like Smith more because of the price, but Clarkson has upside and is always in the game down the stretch. LeBron and Hill will see their normal minutes and Jeff Green will stay over 35. Larry Nance Jr., Kris Dunn, Lauri Markkanen, Hassan Whiteside, and Gary Harris will all remain out tonight. These are all guys that have been out for at least a few games. We know what to do for the most part, but certainly comment below if you have any specific questions. Also, check out the NBA lineup optimizer for detailed projections for every player on the slate. What We're Waiting to Know Jrue Holiday is questionable to play tonight with an illness Holiday missed last night, so it’s usually safe to assume he’ll once again miss on the second leg of back to back. However, he missed with an illness, which is a whole lot different. If feeling better, there’s a chance he slides in for his regular...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Kyle Lowry FD - $7700 DK - $7800 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 38.54 DK - 40.29 Welcome to Wednesday NBA! We have 8 games on the slate and just about every one of them deserves attention. We’ll kick things off in Cleveland, where the Cavs will host the Raptors in a face-off between the two top eastern conference teams. DeRozan and Vanvleet missed last nights game and should be out once again tonight. Lowry is still an elite play either way, but picks up a lot of usage of DD ends up sitting out. You also have to consider the match-up with a Cleveland team that hasn’t been able to cover the point guard position all year long. George Hill is definitely better than the others they’ve had, but they still rank 21st over the last 20 games. Lowry is one of the more consistent players in the league and you can count on 35-50 fantasy points here if the game stays close. Lowry is an elite play in all formats and I’ll have close to 100% exposure across the board. Rajon Rondo FD - $5400 DK - $5700 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 31.26 DK - 31.89 Jrue Holiday ended up missing last nights game with an illness, so it’s probably fair to assume he’ll also miss tonight. If he does end up playing, Rondo isn’t nearly as good of a play. He picked up 30 minutes of action last night and put up a monstrous 55 fantasy points. He should be able to pick up another 30 or so minutes and the sky is obviously the limit. The match-up against the Pacers isn’t a great one on paper, but they ranked worse since the ASB at 17th in the league. Joseph and Collison are both slightly above average defenders, but the Pacers play fast (8th in PACE) and Myles Turner is a lackluster rim protector. Rondo isn’t a prolific scorer, but he stuffs the stat sheet and will rarely kill you when given the opportunity. He’s very fairly priced in the mid-$5k’s and is only needing you 25 in a cash game. Assuming Holiday sits once again, Rondo is an excellent play in all formats. Cameron Payne FD - $5500...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Nicolas Batum has been ruled out against the Sixers Batum has been playing some good ball for Charlotte, so there is something substantial to look at here. Usage-wise, Kemba Walker should have the ball in his hands and sees a slight uptick in an already solid match-up with Philly. Minutes-wise, Jeremy Lamb should do most of the damage. He’s getting the start and can be assumed to draw 30 minutes. Bacon and Graham will also pick up a few minutes, but you can do a lot better. Bogdan Bogdanovic has been ruled out with a hamstring issue Not to be confused with Bojan Bogdanovic, Bogdan grabs 25-30 minutes for the Kings on a nightly basis. Not necessarily huge in the DFS world, he’s a key cog of this offense. Be shots a ton and leaves a lot of opportunity on the table. On the surface, Buddy Hield is locked into 32+ minutes as a floor and Temple will get to 30. Carter and Sampson may also draw some minutes, but not enough to get my attention. Hield and Temple are both very viable in all formats at a weaker SG position. What We're Waiting to Know Kevin Love and Kyle Korver are questionable to play for the Cavs Love has been out a while, so he probably wouldn’t get any more than 15-20 minutes. If it’s confirmed otherwise, you can play him, but I’d ignore the situation for now. As for Korver, I guess there’s a tad bit more to look at. With Rodney Hood and Larry Nance Jr. still out, J.R. Smith and Jordan Clarkson are both in play in cash games. Jeff Green would also grab some minutes and should be considered. For the Cavs, just keep playing LeBron and sprinkle in some necessary value. Tonight, that’s probably J.R. Smith or George Hill. Marc Gasol and Andrew Harrison are questionable to play vs the Nets The Grizzlies are all but out of contention this year, so they will refuse to push anyone. Especially Marc Gasol. He does see 30+ minutes a night and will leave behind a lot of shots. If he does miss, I’ll look to target both Jarell Martin and JaMychal Green. And a ton of both....

Point guard Cameron Payne FD - $4900 DK - $4700 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 31.66 DK - 31.11 Antonio Blakeney FD - $3900 DK - $3200 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 18.64 DK - 18.88 Welcome to NBA Monday! We’re working with eight games on tonight’s slate and each of them deserves attention. There are obviously some with higher totals and we’ll try our best to focus there for the most part. We open up in the Chicago frontcourt, where Kris Dunn is hurt. He didn’t travel with the team and it’ll be left to Cam Payne, Antonio Blakeney, and Jerian Grant. With Grant an after-thought in this rotation, it’ll be Blakeney and Payne getting a majority of the attention. Payne started on Saturday and played 31 minutes, while Blakeney picked up 27. Payne is the more expensive and safer of the two options, and can still be trusted in all formats. I’ll play Blakeney in cash, too, but there is definitely some more risk. The Knicks rank bottom 10 against the position and Burke + Mudiay isn’t worth worrying about in the slightest. Quinn Cook FD - $5200 DK - $4500 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 25.37 DK - 27.29 With everyone out, Quinn Cook is finally producing. He’s put up 42 fantasy points in each of his last two games and is still at just over $5k. He’s produced 25 and 28 real-life points in the last two affairs, so I’m not sure this is much of a fluke. If the big guns are out of the lineup, he’s going to shoot and become an active player. He was pitiful before those two games and while I’m tempted to say it’s in play, I don’t think it is. With Cook rolling the last two games, he’s going to be treated like one of the leaders of this shell of a Warriors team. There’s a degree of chasing points, but Cook is an elite option in both cash games and tournaments. Goran Dragic FD - $6700 DK - $7300 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 35.84 DK - 36.96 If you’re looking to pay up at the position, there are a whole lot of ways to go. I’m just not...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson are all out against the Kings The Warriors are just switching Draymond and Durant from last game. Draymond is now the only member of the big 4 left and the ball will be in his hands a ton. He's one of the top plays on the entire slate and I will have him in likely every lineup. Now for all the value. At guard, Nick Young and Quinn Cook are viable in all formats. At forward, Casspi and Iguodala are great in all formats and two guys I will be all over.Those are the only 4 guys I'll have exposure to, but some may reach for a Bell, Livingston, or Looney. Not me. What We're Waiting to Know Paul George and Steven Adams are questionable to play against the Clippers I was hoping to hear some news on this situation by now, but we're not so lucky. George and Adams remain questionable and both look to be truly 50/50. Let's look at Adams first. If he plays, I don't mind him against the big DeAndre Jordan. If he misses, I'm not sure who really sees the minutes. On the surface, Patrick Patterson and Jerami Grant would slide over. I just don't think either can handle the size, so they may end up going to Dakari Johnson. Personally, no thanks, but Johnson is the 1 guy I would go after. Now to PG13. If he plays, he should grab 35+ minutes and is in play. If he's out, Russ Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony will see a few more shots. Corey Brewer, Josh Huestis, and Terrance Ferguson will all see a few extra minutes. Brewer is the only guy worth your time in cash games. Kyle Kuzma is questionable with an ankle injury against the Heat Kuzma got hurt 2 games ago and ended up returning to that one. He then sat out last game and is still Q for this one. I assume he plays. If he does, he's a great tournament play that could see 34+ minutes. If he's out, Julius Randle and Brook Lopez are both solidified. Williams and Wear would also grab a few minutes, but neither are worth their weight in...
