Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $10900 DK - $11400 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 54.06 DK - 57.35 I know, you're shocked. It's very satisfying that we have close to 2016 Russell Westbrook in the building nowadays, as it's absolutely one of my guilty pleasures as a basketball fan to watch him dominate like he can. He ho-hummed himself to another triple double last game and maintained his 50 FP baseline. He now gets a very friendly and fun match-up with a 76ers squad that may elect to keep this fast. Vegas hasn't dropped a line yet, but I expect high and tight. The 76ers rank 9th worst against PG's, but it's tough to think any of these guys have a shot at containing Westbrook. Simmons may end up moving over, but he's certainly not fast enough and it would just cause match-up nightmares elsewhere. Westbrook is going to dominate this defense and should be in line for another 50-60 fantasy points. His price is down a bit and I like him a lot in cash games. I'll have him in tournaments where I have more exposure to this game, which is a lot of places. Rajon Rondo FD - $6000 DK - $6100 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 34.13 DK - 34.41 Rondo only saw 18 minutes last game, which I actually love. He was on a crash course for injury with extended minutes in a few straight and needed to pump his brakes. He did just that and should be good to go tonight for around 28-32. It's all he really needs at this price in a match-up with a pitiful Nuggets defense. They are the leagues worst team against PG's, allowing over 50 FPPG. Rondo is probably better suited for cash games as he's very likely to fall within 25-40 fantasy points. I don't mind him in tournaments, but would feel the need to pair him with a few guys we'll touch on later. Rondo put up a triple-double in his last real game and is proving to be an integral part of this Pelicans team. They need it with such gaping holes on the perimeter. Rondo is still underpriced and a viable way to go...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know John Collins is probable to return from injury Tyler Cavanaugh and Ersan Ilyasova have been getting minutes and have been solid targets for the better part of 2 weeks. They will now fade back into obscurity with a group of guys too big to deal with. Collins won't see a full complement of minutes and is off my radar against a somewhat stingy Pistons interior. Draymond Green has been ruled out against the Mavericks Draymond Green has been phenomenal with Stephen Curry out, putting up 56 in each of his last 2 games. Those were in-between a pair of 0's because of the same injury as tonight. With him out, Jordan Bell will see 20+ minutes and is a great play against a stiff Mavericks interior. Kevin Durant may also pick up 4 or 5 extra shots and be an even better play than he already is. What We're Waiting to Know Dwyane Wade is questionable to play against the Lakers I don't know if this news really makes or breaks anyone, but it matters. Korver and J.R. Smith would both have 20-minute floors against a Lakers team that can be susceptible to shooters. Jeff Green may also see extended run, but he could always see 10 minutes off the bench. LeBron is a phenomenal play either way and sees a minuscule change to his usage with this news. Allen Crabbe is questionable to play against the Knicks Allen Crabbe isn't a guy we really pay attention to in terms of DFS, but he takes up 30 minutes a night. If he misses, DeMarre Carroll and Caris LeVert will both see extra minutes and a few shots. I have interest in both in a game against the Knicks that should stay relatively close. Crabbe is a guy I'll ignore if he plays. Every Lineup...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Yogi Ferrell FD - $4700 DK - $4600 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 20.82 DK - 21.54 Yogi Ferrell is the guy we want with Dennis Smith Jr. out. He's already been announced out for the next 2 games and it should allow Yogi Ferrel to get over 30 minutes again. He's been well over 30 minutes in 3 of his last 4 games and put up FP totals of 31, 22, and 23. He's still priced under $5k and has to be considered in all formats. Point Guard is MUCH thinner than most nights and Ferrell should be popular because of it. The Warriors are without Curry, so it'll be a combo of Livingston, Cook, and McCaw that draw time on Yogi. They've ranked 8th worst against PG's since Curry went out, though the sample size is admittedly small. Ferrell is a guy I'll likely have across the board as a top value option on a small slate. Reggie Jackson FD - $5700 DK - $5800 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 27.29 DK - 28.42 Hold the phone! The NBA has finally given us a solid Thursday slate. After works of working with some very ugly Thursday schedules, we have a 5-gamer with some intriguing games. We'll kick it off with Reggie Jackson and the Pistons, who will go on the road and face-off with the Atlanta Hawks. Dennis Schroder is one of the worst individual defenders in the league and the Hawks are lacking paint defense with Dedmon out. Jackson has definitely been a bit inconsistent with minutes, but I have a strong suspicion he sees over 32 tonight. When given those minutes, he is extremely consistent and one of the most effective ECF PG's. He will be in there down the stretch and this game is expected to stay close with a -3.5 spread and 209 total. His price is below $6k on both sites and only needs to get you 25-30 in all formats. Jackson is never easy to roster, but this is a strong match-up and I haven't rostered Jackson all season long. This will be the first time and I'll have close to 100%. Lonzo Ball FD - $7500 DK...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier have been ruled out against the Clippers Both of these guys are key cogs in this offense, a their absence will be felt in a huge way. Fournier has already been out and a few games and we have a taste of what to expect there. Aaron Afflalo, who's questionable, has been picking up a lot of them. If he's out, expect Wes Iwundu, Mario Hezonja, and D.J. Augustin to all benefit. As for the minutes with Gordon, most will go to Hezonja and Speights. Now for the juicy part. Jonathan Simmons, Nikola Vucevic, and Elfrid Payton will all see upticks in usage and are tremendous plays. Vucevic and Simmons are two of my favorite plays in all formats across the entire slate. Al Horford will be rested against the Nuggets This is pretty cut and dry. Aron Baynes will pick up most of the minutes and becomes one of the top value options on the day. Daniel Theis and Jayson Tatum may get a few, but don't jump up enough to gain relevancy for this reason alone. The match-up with the Nuggets Is a solid one and even better if Nikola Jokic is ruled out. More on that later. Andre Roberson has been ruled out for the Thunder Roberson is a pretty irrelevant DFS player, but he gets a lot of minutes. Alex Abrines will likely get the start and could see 30 minutes if he's lucky. The rest will go to Terrance Ferguson and Josh Huestis, who ended around 12-14 each last game. It also helps Victor Oladipo, who will now force the Thunder to cross-cross defensive match-ups. This is a game you can stack and I'll personally have a lot more than the field with almost every guy. What We're Waiting to Know Anthony Davis "feels good and should be able to go", but ultimately remains questionable Whatever that means. AD is obviously a pain to deal with and his status updates are more of the same. It looks like he'll give it a go and my guess is he just sees slightly limited minutes. He has a phenomenal match-up, but I'm not comfortable playing him in this situation. I'd rather go Cousins...

Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $11200 DK - $11200 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 54.25 DK - 57.55 After a very interesting 7-game Tuesday slate that brought plenty of fireworks, we have a 9-gamer on our hands with plenty to dissect. We'll start it off in Indiana with a guy who starts this article more than anyone; Russell Westbrook. Westbrook and the Thunder will coke into Indiana as 2 point underdogs and be forced to stop the animal that is Victor Oladipo. Westbrook is the guy he's learned most of this brilliance from and I'm sure he's ready to give him a friendly reminder of just that. Both of these teams like to run the court and a 211 O/U is a tad above average. Darren Collison lines up on paper to match-up with Westbrook, but we all know him and 'Dipo will be going at it when it matters. He has a 50 point floor like snowy nights and a ceiling that's uncomfortable to note. He's not a must with the inflated price tag, but there will be ways to get there on a big slate with looming injury implications. Westbrook is the top raw play in all formats at point guard.  Rajon Rondo FD - $5800 DK - $6300 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 32.34 DK - 32.8 Rajon Rondo has been a stud for the Pelicans and even better when Anthony Davis has been out. He's currently questionable tonight and Rondo does become a much better play if AD is ruled out.His price is still friendly on both sites and he's been locked into cash game value night in and night out. This match-up with the Bucks is average for most point guards, but Rondo doesn't rely on scoring. The Bucks struggle with rebounding and Rondo will have the opportunity for plenty of peripherals. The game is expected to be close and rather high-scoring, though Vegas hasn't opened up a line on this one yet. That has a lot to do with the status of Anthony Davis. Expect an o/u around 210 with a 4 or 5 line if Davis is out. Rondo has also seen 37 and 42 minutes over the last 2,...
