Point guard Tyus Jones FD - $5300 DK - $4500 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 24.48 DK - 23.74 Michael Carter-Williams FD - $5200 DK - $4200 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 11.54 DK - 11.11 Both of these guys are contingent on the starters sitting out, who are currently ruled questionable. As for Tyus Jones, Jeff Teague sat out last night and it's rare to see a guy come back on the back-end of a B2B. Jones should grab another start here and play "Tom Thibodeau minutes" which equates to 36-40. He had another solid game last year and has been over 30 FP in 3 straight. He is simply a very good point guard that is going to get a big contract if he stays healthy. I would not at all be surprised if Teague gets shipped away for some size. At his price, he's close to a must against a Pelicans squad that is far from scary against PG's. As for MCW, he's dependant on the status of Kemba Walker. The Raptors are very average against point guards and MCW could very well use his length to advantage against Lowry. His price is very close to Jones and if Kemba is out, makes for a very strong pivot in tournaments. I'm also not at all against the fact of playing both of these guys. There are plenty of other ways to pay up on this slate and PG has by far the best value. Russell Westbrook FD - $11000 DK - $11200 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 53.85 DK - 57.07 If you're looking to pay up at point guard, you most definitely can. Russell Westbrook has picked it up recently and has put up over 60 fantasy points in 3 of the last 4. He now sees a match-up against a Magic team that doesn't play much defense. Against point guards, they rank 6th worst in the league, allowing 46.5 FPPG. Elfrid Payton isn't a bad defender on the perimeter, but he has no help behind him and is a lot smaller than most point guards. Westbrook certainly fits the mold as one of the larger point guards in the league and...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know John Wall is out for up to 2 weeks Wall is obviously a huge piece of this offense, and we fortunately know what will happen for the most part. Tim Frazier will draw the start, grab around 30 minutes and likely hit value. He is a very safe play in all formats that should be popular. Brad Beal and Otto Porter will also grab a few extra shots and remain in play against the T-Wolves. This is the game that most fantasy ownership is coming from. Wilson Chandler is out with a back injury Wilson Chandler has been pretty meh this season, so we certainly had no intentions of playing him against the Jazz. With him out, you can pencil in 10-15 extra minutes for Hernangomez and 5-8 for Barton and Jefferson. Hernangomez is interesting, but this match-up doesn't do it for me. I'd rather play him in a fast-paced game. What We're Waiting to Know Jeff Teague is expecting to play, but officially questionable If Teague misses, Tyus Jones is pretty close to a must play. He has the full reigns of the offense when on the floor and hasn't been afraid to shoot with the other stars around. He's obviously a very good point guard that can be relied on when given the minutes. Especially around $5k against a Wizards team that likes to run. Assuming Teague plays, I think he's interesting in tournaments. I think Jones takes some minutes either way, so I'll be staying away personally and moving to a Jimmy Butler or Towns. Khris Middleton missed shootaround and is questionable to play This only helps Giannis, who was already in a prime situation against the Kings. Middleton is the 2nd fiddle on this offense, but he plays a lot and shoots as much as a lot of #1's. In his absence, Giannis will see 3 or 4% usage spike while also picking up 3 or 5 shots. For a guy that already had a 50 FP floor, it's pretty nice. If Middleton does miss, it will be Malcolm Brogdon who I gravitate towards. Tony Snell will also pick some minutes up, but we all know how much that matters. Every Lineup Guys Nobody. Yet. If Teague...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry will not play against the Kings At least we got some clarification here. Nearly the Warriors roster was questionable to enter the day, so it's nice to have things in order for the most part by 4:30. We're still waiting on Iggy news, but know KD + Steph will miss and Draymond will play. With the 2 superstars out, it puts 4 or 5 guys in play as elite options. On the more expensive end, Draymond and Klay are both firmly in play. They will each see 5-8 extra shots and this could be one of the big games for Klay that he has a few times each year. You then get to some elite value with Omri Casspi and Shaun Livington. Casspi becomes an even better play if Iguodala gets ruled out. You will need to get exposure to this team and there are a lot of different price points to do it at. Allen Crabbe and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson have been ruled out against the Rockets DeMarre Carroll remains questionable, so we'll get into things down there. These 2 guys make a big impact on this offense and there is a dramatic impact on the slate. It's just all up in the air if we don't know what's going on with Carroll. Larry Nance will return from injury and replace Kyle Kuzma in the starting lineup This just muddies up an already cluttered frontcourt.You can take a shot in tournaments against a weak Clippers paint defense, but are better off staying away on such a deep slate. I doubt either of them see over 32 minutes, if that. What We're Waiting to Know Ben Simmons is questionable to play against the Cavs Obviously 1 of the 2 big pieces of news we're waiting on. I'm sure Simmons wants to suit up against LeBron and the Cavs and he did participate in shootaround. Assuming he plays and isn't on a minutes limit (76ers typically announce these, FYI), Simmons is a phenomenal option in all formats. This game will remain close and the Cavs have no defense behind LeBron. If Simmons happens to miss this game, Everyone on the team will see a slight bump. T.J. McConnell,...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Darren Collison FD - $6400 DK - $6100 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 33.37 DK - 33.84 We're kicking it back to 7th-grade science class tonight with a whole bunch of "if-then" scenarios. I'm not even going to go over them here, as it's enough to fill up 2 paragraphs. We'll eventually touch on each situation. The first situation we're looking at is in Indiana with Darren Collison. Oladipo missed last game and is questionable tonight, possibly giving way to a bunch of ball-handling opportunities. Collison sees an 8% usage spike with 'Dipo off the floor, so it's certainly a measurable difference. He finished with 33 FP in just 30 minutes against the Celtics last time out and that's about what you should expect. Against the Magic, the game will stay close and be high-scoring. Elfrid Payton isn't a bad defender on the perimeter, but the Magic are the 6th worst teams against PG's for a reason. They have nobody to cover the pain and give up a ton of open 3's (assists). Collison is a very safe option in all formats if Victor Oladipo is out. T.J. McConnell FD - $5400 DK - $4700 Opponent - CLE Proj Pts FD - 34.96 DK - 35.79 Here we have another guy who is relying on an injury to maintain value. Ben Simmons is slated as a PF, but he plays point guard. If he's out, T.J. McConnell will get the ball in his hands a ton more and pick up a couple extra minutes. With Simmons out last game, he picked up 36 minutes and put up 54 fantasy points. We're obviously expecting nowhere near that tonight, but a 25-30 FP game is very likely. The Cavs don't really have a PG, so it just depends who they play as to who will cover. If it's a superstar, LeBron may slide over. In this case, I expect it to be Wade and Korver. Neither are anything to worry about in 2017. McConnell, like so many others, is a great play if things fall into place. Kyrie Irving FD - $8400 DK - $8200 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 41.48 DK - 42.27 You have a couple...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kevin Durant and Draymond Green are both out against the Bulls No big deal. This news flips the entire slate upside down and forces you to have exposure to a game that didn't require much attention beforehand. Stephen Curry will see 35+ minutes and have an insane usage bump, making him one of the top stars on the night. Klay Thompson will also benefit and I'm fine with him in all formats. Minutes-wise, Omri Casspi, Andre Iguodala, and Kevin Looney will benefit. Casspi is a must play. Iguodala is close to it, but always has a minutes cap at his age. It also gives the Bulls guys more credence as the game should stay close. Kris Dunn has a ton of upside if it does. Nicolas Batum has been ruled out against the Cavs Batum has been out for most of the year, so we know what to do. Jeremy Lamb becomes one of the top value plays at SG and can be counted on for 32+ minutes of solid production. Kemba Walker may also see an uptick in usage in a game that he will already be needed heavily in. Walker is a great play against a Cavs team that can't cover PG's or the rim. You can also be sure LeBron won't see the defense of Batum, though MKG is the guy who plays on him most of the time. C.J. Miles is out for the Raptors Miles plays a few minutes off the bench, so his absence isn't too big of a deal. It'll give O.G. Anunboy and Norman Powell about 10-15 minutes each in a match-up with a fast-paced Pacers squad. They're fine options in tournaments, but there's no reason to go crazy. Every Lineup Guys Omri Casspi FD - $3300 DK - $3600Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 29.69 DK - 27.18 With KD and Dray out, this is one of the easier plays of the year. Put it this way. If Casspi gets the 32+ minutes we are expecting, there is a 100% chance he hits value. The only way this goes wrong is with an injury or foul trouble. He is near minimum-priced on both sites and only needs you about 20 in cash...
