What We Know What We're Waiting to Know Andrew Harrison and JaMychael Green are questionable to play against the Nuggets There isn't much news at all to look at today, but these 2 pieces could very well end up making a difference in the grand scheme of things. First things first, both Andrew Harrison and JaMychal Green are questionable. If Harrison is out, Mario Chalmers is an elite play and I don't hate Dillon Brooks. If Green happens to miss, Jarell Martin and Marc Gasol are each guaranteed over 32 minutes. These 2 guys are very separate and don't have much to do with each other, but the entire lineup will see a slight boost with either out. If Harrison misses, Chalmers is a top play on the slate. Taj Gibson is questionable to play against the Jazz This news is a little bit surprising and definitely came out of nowhere. It's the first we're hearing of the sore hip and frankly, I'm not surprised. It's what happens when you stretch immobile players out for 35+ minutes every night. If Gibson plays, you can do better against a Jazz interior that doesn't give much up. If he's out, the T-Wolves fully trust Gorgui Dieng and he would slide in there for an easy 30+ minutes. Bjelica would also be locked into the 30+ that he's gotten used to. Every Lineup Guys GRAB A FREE TRIAL OF OUR PROJECTION SYSTEM, AND CHECK OUT DFSR PRO! START FREE TRIAL...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $11900 DK - $11800 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 58.47 DK - 61.82 Big surprise, but we're going to lead it off with Russell Westbrook here. If I had to make a guess, he's the guy who has led this article far more often than any other PG. His price is as high as ever at high-$11k's and you have to love this match-up. If you could pick any match-up in the league for Westbrook, it's the Phoenix Suns. They play faster than anyone in the league and play 0 defense on the perimeter. Against point guards, they rank 23rd. Since Elfrid Payton came to Phoenix, they have sat at 27th. He's not necessarily a bad defender, but they have no interior defense and don't really try to. This game holds a 218 total and a -8 spread, so Vegas thinks it stays high and tight. It's going to cost you a pretty penny to pay up for Russell Westbrook, but you only get a few chances a year to see a match-up like this for him. If you can afford him, I see no reason not to.We will touch on the rest of this Thunder core as well against a fast-paced Suns team. Mario Chalmers FD - $3500 DK - $3500 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 16.06 DK - 16.44 If paying down is your goal at point guard, there’s a great chance Mario Chalmers ends up as the guy. We’re looking at a questionable Andrew Harrison, who is truly close to 50/50. Already seeing 15-20 minutes a night, Chalmers should have no problem getting over 25 if Harrison is ruled out, with the possibility for 30-35 as long as the game stays close. Against point guards, they rank 20th in basketball. Murray is not only a lackluster defender, but he doesn’t have any help behind him. Chalmers is an electric player when on the floor and can easily put up 40+ FP if the game stays close and he grabs the minutes. If Harrison is out, Chalmers will slide in and become one of the top value plays on the entire slate that can be played in both cash games and tourneys. Cory Joseph FD - $4700...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Goran Dragic FD - $6700 DK - $7400 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 33.98 DK - 35.33 Welcome to NBA Thursday! We have 4 games on the slate with each game deserving equal attention. We'll kick things off at PG in the mid-range, where all 3 of our plays at the position lie. Let's start in Miami, where the Heat will host the Lakers in a game with a 216 total and 4 point spread. On the season, we're looking at a Lakers squad that ranks 23rd against point guards. We have Lonzo Ball back in our lives, so we can certainly trust that number more so than we could the past week with him out. Goran Dragic has been playing some of the best basketball of his season and just dropped a 60 burger 2 games ago. He typically sits around the 30 FP mark, which is perfectly fine at his sub-$7k tag. He's going to get his 330-34 minutes and this game is fully expected to stay close. He's an elite option in all formats and he'll be in the majority of my lineups. De'Aaron Fox FD - $5800 DK - $5600 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 28.42 DK - 28.81 De'Aaron Fox is a rookie, but doesn't play like one. He's composed as can be on the floor and has no problem controlling the offense. He's held a 1.21 FP per minute on the year and is now finally getting the 30+ minutes you need in cash games. His price is still very low on both sites and you have to be in love if you think he sees 30+ minutes once again. You then get to the match-up. The Nets rank dead last against PG's at 43 FPPG and it has a lot to do with the insanely weak interior defense. Fox is one of the more lethal downhill drivers you'll see in the league and Jarrett Allen will have no chance of stopping him. As long as you think this game stays close, Fox is an elite option in both cash games and tournaments. George Hill FD - $5100 DK - $4800 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 24.1 DK - 24.75 Georgie Hill has done exactly...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Pau Gasol is out with a left knee bone bruise This did come out of nowhere, though there isn't all that much to look at. Pop is always wary of giving anyone crazy minutes, so I don't think Aldridge is a must by any means, though he's still very much in play against New Orleans. Instead, I think most minutes go to Davis Bertans and Joffrey Lauvergne. Against New Orleans, I think Bertans has a ton of upside. Kyle Anderson is also locked into his minutes as he could see some 4 if the game goes small with AD at the 5. Tyrone Wallace has been ruled out against the Rockets Wallace has been over 30 minutes in each of the last 2 games, so this is definitely something to look at. With Lou Williams already seeing huge minutes, you can lock him in for at least 34. With Gallinari already out as well, I like Wesley Johnson and Milos Teodosic to grab a bunch of extra minutes. The Rockets don't play much perimeter defense and I'm a big fan of both Austin Rivers and Sweet Lou in cash games. In tourneys, Johnson and Teodosic are elite plays against a fast-paced Houston squad. What We're Waiting to Know T.J. Warren is questionable to play against the Grizzlies This one came as a bit of a surprise and we could be looking at some extra opportunity here. If Warren misses, Josh Jackson immediately comes to the top. He's already seeing major minutes and could be guaranteed over 30. Devin Booker will also be locked into his minutes and is guaranteed to shoot 20+ times. With all of that being said, this is still the Grizzlies and the match-up is nothing to write home about. If you're on Dillon Brooks, he'll see a worse defender if Warren is out. Every lineup Guys Jarell Martin FD - $4100 DK - $4400Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 22.93 DK - 22.8 Martin is far too cheap for this match-up. He's seen 30+ minutes in each of the last 2 games and has held a solid 17% usage rate. He's not the best producer on the floor, but the Suns play faster than anyone in basketball...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Chris Paul FD - $8400 DK - $8300 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 42.04 DK - 42.45 Welcome to NBA Wednesday! We have 9 games on our hands tonight with plenty of different angles to attack. Point guard is full of ways to go, whether you want Westbrook at $12k, Tyler Dorsey at $3.5k, or any of the 8-10 elite options in between. We'll focus on Chris Paul to begin, who's somehow sitting in the low $8k's. He sits around 40 FP on most nights and flashes the 50+ ceiling plenty often. His 32-35 minutes are very safe and this match-up against the Clippers is something you have to love. Aside from it being the Clippers and him obviously waiting to have a big game, Austin Rivers is a bad defender. The Clips rank 19th against the position and 24th since the ASB. We are looking at a 224 over/under with just a 6 point spread, so Vegas fully expects this to be close. Paul is an elite play in all formats that you can lock in 38-55 fantasy points for. The price is fair and I don't think you see more than 20% ownership. Andrew Harrison FD - $6000 DK - $5700 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 29.79 DK - 29.26 Andrew Harrison has quietly carved himself into a nice role with the Grizz ever since Mike Conley went down with injury. He's now playing 28-34 minutes every night and has posted some very nice games. Aside from the occasional stinker, Harrison is sitting around 30-40 fantasy points on most nights. His price is still under $6k on both sites, meaning you only need a low-30 number. That won't be much of an issue if this game with the Suns stays close. They play faster than anyone in the league and it's why we have a 211 game with the Grizzlies involved. They're favored by just 4, so Vegas thinks it stays close and relatively high-scoring. The projection is safe as can be and I wouldn't be surprised at all to see 40+ FP here. The minutes are safe and PG isn't too sexy in this price range.
