Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $11500 DK - $12000 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 53.98 DK - 57.42 We'll kick it right into high gear with the most expensive option on the slate in Russell Westbrook. With just 4 games on tonight's slate, you're going to have to be smart about how you pay up and how you get value. Russell Westbrook is going to cost you a pretty penny, but might be a guy you end up needing in cash games. Even at the inflated price, he has upside. He's been over 60 fantasy points in 5 of the last 8 games and he's starting to look a lot more like '16 Russ. It likely has something to do with the Thunder struggling and him looking to shoulder more of the load. He should have a pretty easy time tonight facing off with Spencer Dinwiddie and Isaiah Whitehead. They rank 4th worst in the league against PG's and it's because of the 104 PACE. Sitting 3rd in the league behind just the Suns and Lakers, the Nets love to run with a 104 PACE. If you ignore the Lakers and Suns, it's the fastest number since PACE has been recorded. Russell Westbrook is going to slice and dice through this defense all night and will have nothing to worry about once he gets to the rim. This defense is pitiful and Westbrook will crush when in there. For me, this is one of 3-4 guys that I'll make sure I have 100% of. Lonzo Ball FD - $6600 DK - $6500 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 30.82 DK - 31.35 No matter what your opinion is on Lonzo or his dad, you have to try to take an objective stand as best as you can. Personally, I don't care about any of it so I've hopefully been able to do that. There's no doubt that he's been disappointing with his shot, but everything else has been nice. He's stuffing the stat sheet on a nightly basis and it's obvious if you watch the games that his trust with teammates is slowly building. The Lakers get a great matchup tonight with a team that will match their...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Stephen Curry is out for "at least a couple weeks" There's a lot to process on the Warriors front tonight. We know Stephen Curry is out and he's going to be out for an extended period of time. The Warriors haven't shown a willingness to play Livingston for big minutes even with Curry out, so he's not too attractive. Quinn Cook will get the start and is somewhat interesting with Patrick McCaw out as well, but I wouldn't look at him outside of a tournament. Usage-wise, Thompson and Durant see huge bumps. Draymond Green is questionable, so we kind of have to take a wait-and-see approach to this situation. Kristaps Porzingis is expected to return against the Grizzlies The Grizzlies are a team that plays slow and don't allow much on the inside. They rank 10th best against PF's with Green at the helm and while Porzingis can always go for 50 FP, this is a tough spot. I assume he will see a few fewer minutes than normal and in a game with one of the lowest O/U's, it's just not really necessary. With so many options on this slate, let'sallow the Knicks to sort things out and take another look next game. Willie Culey-Stein has been ruled out against the Cavs WCS exited last game against the Bucks after just 8 minutes and the Kings played small ball for the rest of the night. We also saw JaKarr Sampson pick up 24 minutes. At minimum price, I guess you could do worse. I won't be anywhere near him, however.This team is an overall mess and Bogdanovic is my favorite King on the board, but they'll probably get blown out. Marcus Morris has been ruled out with a knee injury This is just a day off to continue the rehab process and I'm sure the Celtics won't be stretching anyone out like crazy as a result. Jayson Tatum may see 5 or 6 extra minutes and makes for an interesting play against a Dirk Nowitzki that doesn't play any defense. Daniel Theis may also get 5 or 6 extra, but that would put him at just 15-20. Horford, Brown, and Smart will absorb the rest of the minutes and are...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Jeff Teague FD - $6200 DK - $6600 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 30.68 DK - 30.88 There are a lot of dysfunctional teams in the current NBA, but the Clippers without Blake Griffin has to be right there. They aren't nearly as poorly coached as some of those other teams, but just lack the offensive weapons to get anything consistently done. They started off the season with Patrick Beverley at PG, who's now gone. It's now Austin Rivers, who's a pitiful defender. In every way. The Clippers are actually still average in terms of DvP, which will hopefully keep some people off of Teague. I can promise you they will be one of the 5-10 worst teams in the league against PG's while Griffin is out. It has forced the Clips to play extremely thin with about 0 strong perimeter defenders. These 2 teams played just a couple days ago and Jeff Teague put up 35 fantasy points while going just 3-for-10 from the field. If he makes the 6-9 baskets he typically does in a night, he would have been to 45 without much trouble. At an extremely fair $6.5k, Teague will need to grab you 30-35 in cash games. You can be guaranteed he will see 35+ minutes, so the upside is built in if he gets hot. You'll see people go a lot of different ways at PG and Teague is one of the safer ways to go. Kemba Walker FD - $8200 DK - $7800 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 37.28 DK - 38.63 I don't know if I'll call Kemba safe tonight, but he's a lot safer than he would be if Stephen Curry was playing. Steph' is by no means a menace on defense, but the game has a much better chance at staying close now that the Warriors don't really have a PG. Shaun Livingston is back from his 1-game suspension and the Warriors haven't shown a willingness to stretch his minutes out very much. If I had to guess, I think McCaw and Iguodala see the point for most of the time. Durant may as well, but he won't be covering the PG. It will be a...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Anthony Davis, Nikola Jokic, Kristaps Porzingis, John Collins, Tim Hardaway Jr., Rodney Hood, and Dewayne Dedmon will all remain out These guys are recently injured, but this is not the first game they'll miss. Let's jump into some news that's not set in stone. Kemba Walker will return to action for the Hornets Walker is expected to be without any limitations, but it's always tough to trust a guy coming off of injury. Especially in an average match-up with plenty of other options to choose from. This hurts Batum, Dwight, and MCW, putting all of them out of play in cash games. I don't mind Howard in tournaments against Vucevic, but he's not a must. Rudy Gobert will return with a minutes limit tonight The Jazz have actually been playing well with Gobert, so this will be interesting. They've played much faster and have played small on most nights. With Gobert back, they will be forced to play a lot slower. Epke Udoh and Derrick Favors are both going to see fewer minutes and are not in play tonight. We'll also throw out Marcin Gortat, who'll have the league's toughest match-up. Brad Beal could also struggle if he can't hit his outside shot and is forced to come inside. Kyle Anderson has been ruled out against the Pistons It looks like Anderson will miss 2-3 weeks, which is a blessing after seeing the injury last night. With Rudy Gay expected to return tonight, he should pick up the 25-ish minutes that Anderson typically gets. Against another slow team in the Pistons, you don't need to focus on anyone from this game. Every Lineup Guys Enes Kanter FD - $6600 DK - $6200Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 41.6 DK - 43.72 With both Kristaps Porzingis and Tim Hardaway Jr. both out, there are not only minutes, but excessive shots to choose from. Hardaway and Porzingis are the 2 top options on this offense and Kanter has been great with them out. Over the last 2 games, Kanter has been over 40 fantasy points in each. He hasn't been over 30 minutes yet, so the upside is certainly there if some extra minutes come. If he gets the 25-30 he's been seeing,...

Point guard Stephen Curry FD - $9900 DK - $9400 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 47.86 DK - 49.98 We have a solid 11-game slate on our hands tonight after a pretty small one yesterday next to football. There are a ton of injuries we have to deal with and you'll soon realize that you'll have plenty of value to choose from. There are definitely some high-priced options worth considering and Curry is the one at PG. The Warriors played last night against the Heat and Curry only played 30 minutes. He played 36 minutes in his last B2B and has looked healthy since returning from injury. The Pelicans are a phenomenal match-up for PG's, though it's pretty useful to use their season stats as Rajon Rondo has only been back for less than a month. He's a bad defender and Curry will be able to do whatever he wants. The Pelicans don't play as fast as the Warriors, but they certainly don't mind running. Curry has stepped up his game quite a bit over the last couple weeks and I'm sure we'll see his price over $10k very soon. With so much value on the slate and PG not being as fruitful as usual, Curry could very well end up being worth it. He has a 40 FP floor with a ceiling we haven't seen yet. Jarrett Jack FD - $4800 DK - $3900 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 24.32 DK - 25 With Tim Hardaway Jr. out, 30+ minutes open up at guard and Jack benefits. He won't see the crazy 35+ minutes he was seeing for a stretch earlier this year, but he should see 28-32 pretty safely. He saw 28 against the Magic yesterday in the same situation and now sees a better match-up against a Pacers squad that likes to run the floor and doesn't play much defense. Darren Collison is a fine perimeter defender, but he has no help behind him and is getting older. Jack is extremely cheap and only needs to hit 20 to come through in cash games. He is perfectly fine in tournaments as well, though you may be able to do better. He won't ever see more...
