We've got you completely covered. What We Know Chris Paul has been ruled out against the Celtics Paul has missed the last 2 games, but came into today questionable. It keeps James Harden and Eric Gordon close to 40 minutes and elite plays in all formats in an expected close game with the Celtics. Kyrie Irving will also see much worse defense on the perimeter. Jeff Teague has been ruled out against the Bucks Jeff Teague missed quite a few games earlier on the season and we know exactly where to go. Tyus Jones will jump in for 34+ minutes and is the best value play on the slate. Jimmy Butler and KAT may also see and extra2-3 shots, but Jones doesn't mind shooting. Teague isn't a huge usage guy on this offense, so look at Jones as the main benefactor. Reggie Jackson will miss 6-8 weeks with a sprained ankle Ish Smith jumped into the same role last year and ended up close to $7k before Jackson came back. He's going to get 30+ minutes again this season, but they do have a viable backup in Langston Galloway that will probably pick up 20 minutes at the 1 and 2. Smith is still a guy I love in all formats and will have a lot of next to Tyus Jones. The Magic are a below averages defense and Elfrid Payton is nothing to run away from. Smith takes less shots than RJax, and most of them will go to Harris and Drummond. What We're Waiting to Know Aaron Gordon is a GTD against the Pistons Gordon has been out forever, so we know what to expect. If Gordon does play, he'll take away some minutes from Biyombo and Payne, but we have no idea if Gordon will even see 20 minutes. The Pistons are one of the slower teams on this slate and this isn't a sitution I'm a big fan of in general. Biyombo is a terrific option in all formats if you need a cheap center. Joel Embiid and Robert Covington are questionable against the Blazers Both of these guys are huge pieces of this offense take up a lot of shots + minutes. With Embiid, his absence clearly benefits a couple guys. Richaun Holmes would...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Ish Smith FD - $5500 DK - $4900 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 20.34 DK - 20.43 Reggie Jackson sprained his ankle last game and will be out for the next 6-8 weeks. Fortunately for the Pistons, they have a backup PG in Ish Smith that is just as good as RJax. They play similar minutes on most nights and Ish Smith has been the better career FP/min guy. He'll now move into the starting lineup and play 35+ minutes on most nights until Jackson comes back. I expect him to be close to $6k very soon, so this discount is insane. He's my favorite PG on this slate and a guy I'll look to have in 100% of lineups. The Magic are nothing to be afraid of and Smith can be locked in for 25-40 fantasy points. I love him in all formats and expect this to be obvious come the next few days. Kyrie Irving FD - $8600 DK - $8000 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 41.33 DK - 42.34 Now for 2 of the better expensive options at the position. Chris Paul and Damian Lillard are the 2 most pricey guys, but both come with some serious uncertainty. Kyrie Irving is the first guy who can be played in all formats without worrying about health or how many minutes he may get restricted to. Irving has been one of the more consistent players in the entire league this season and is almost never having any bad games. The Celtics control the PACE of most games and Irving has his role solidified. He's flashed plenty of upside as well with 50+, but is simply a much different DFS player than he was in past seasons. The match-up may either be elite or bad. If Chris Paul plays, I have a lot less interest in Kyrie. Sure, he can still put up 25, but they will be incredibly difficult and the upside is not there. If Chris Paul is out, it'll be Eric Gordon and James Harden at the 1. Both are horrible defenders and Kyrie will have a field day on either. Keep an eye out for news and adjust accordingly. Eric Bledsoe FD...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Lonzo Ball will remain out and Brandon Ingram is expected to return with a minutes limit We have Jordan Clarkson as the top play on this slate and we're going to get there later. He'll take the majority of minutes for Ball and you can ignore any other backup PG. With Ingram, it's a situation I'll stay away from. If Ingram ends up being out, Josh Hart will see 35+ minutes and is in play in all formats. Jaylen Brown has been ruled out against the Hornets Brown plays 30 minutes a game, so this matters. With Ojeleye out as well, we'll see Smart, Rozier, Nader, and, and Bird all get minutes. I don't think anyone turns into a great play, but Smart is probably my favorite. Kyrie Irving and Al Horford may also pick up some shots and are already in play against an average Hornets defense. What We're Waiting to Know Victor Oladipo is questionable to play with a sore right knee Now for the biggest news of the day. Oladipo has a top-20 usage in the NBA and we'll see a lot of shots move around if he's out. The first guy to look at would be Myles Turner. He is the number 2 option on this offense and has a friendly match-up with an immobile Mavs frontcourt. Lance Stephenson, Darren Collison, and Bogdan Bogdanovic will also see 4-5 minutes each and a few shots. The Mavericks are a pretty slow team overall, so I don't think you need to go crazy here. If Oladipo ends up missing, I will have the most exposure to Turner and Stephenson, with closer to 50% on Collison and Bogdanovic. Every Lineup Guys Jordan Clarkson FD - $5500 DK - $5600Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 30.8 DK - 31.81 With Lonzo Ball out, you can go ahead and pencil in Jordan Clarkson for 35-40 minutes. The match-up with the Grizzlies is always rough on the surface, but it's not nearly as bad as it typically is. With Mike Conley out, it's a lot of Andrew Harrison at the 1. He's a pretty lackluster defender and it's why the Grizz rank 16th against PG's since he went out. The Lakers are favored...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard John Wall FD - $8700 DK - $8900 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 43.52 DK - 43.43 After returning from injury 2 weeks ago, Wall saw his first game over 35 minutes against the Celtics. It's exactly what I expected and looks to be fully healthy at this point. His price is still too low and he makes for a phenomenal play in all formats.he faces off with Dennis Schroeder and a Hawks team that ranks 6th worst against opposing PG's. Schroder is a terrible defender in his own right and has no big man to cover up his flaws. Wall is going to exploit this defense wherever he wants and can be chalked in for a double/double before tip. The game is expected to say close and with a 214 total and -5 spread. there are plenty of FP for the guy who always has the ball. Wall is an excellent play in all formats that will likely be very highly owned and I really don't care. A cheap John Wall in a top 10 match-up is something I won't get cute with.  Jeff Teague FD - $6700 DK - $6100 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 35.56 DK - 35.75 Here's another rather cut and dry option at PG. The Nuggets have been the worst team in the league against PG's all season long and currently sit at 27th. The T-Wolves and Teague played exceptionally, finishing with 37 fantasy points in 32 minutes. He seems to have found his role on this offense and has shown a high level of consistency lately. His price is below $7k on both sites and at an extreme value on DK. This is a guy you might want to stay away from in tournaments if you're looking for 50+ upside, but I' m not sure I'll practice what I preach. He's a little too cheap for me and a guy I'll probably just plug in there across the board. Andrew Harrison FD - $4200 DK - $4100 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 23.92 DK - 23.26 Andrew Harrison has been over 30 minutes in 2 straight games and we have to pay attention here. Even if he...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Nikola Vuevic is out for 6-8 weeks with a fracture He only played 5 minutes before fracturing his hand last game, so we somewhat know what to expect. Bismack Biyombo got up to 24 minutes and could easily get to 30 if playing well. Adreian Payne may also pick up 20 minutes if Aaron Gordon is ruled out. We'll dive in deeper later with Aaron Gordon. Hassan Whiteside is expected to return tonight After such a long layoff due to a leg injury, you can't think Whiteside gets over 25 minutes tonight. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I won't be taking that chance. It takes away all appeal from Kelly Olynyk Bam Adebayo, who were already subpar options. Devin Booker is expected to return against the Grizzlies Booker has been out for a while, so I'm looking at him similarly to Hassan Whiteside. He likely won't be over 30 minutes, and you don't want anyone against the Grizzlies anyway. Stick to Memphis here, who will be playing up in pace. Chandler Parsons will rest against the Suns Parsons has played each of the last 2 minutes, but he doesn't really eat into anyone else. James Ennis and Dillon Brooks will both see over 25 minutes and are in play against a fast Suns team. Tyreke Evans is also locked into 35+ minutes and will dominate this game. What We're Waiting to Know Aaron Gordon is questionable to play against the Heat Gordon is a big piece of this offense and even more so with Nikola Vucevic out. If Gordon is out, he'll eat away 15-20 from a combined Biyombo and Payne. Biyombo is still in play if Gordon plays, but isn't nearly as elite. The Heat are a below average team and the Magic will keep this close no matter what. Biyombo is a guy I have a lot of interest in both cash games and tournaments.
