We've got you completely covered. Point guard Dennis Schroder FD - $7400 DK - $6600 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 37.85 DK - 39.02 After a day full of turkey and football, we jump right back into the NBA with a fun 9-game slate. There's plenty of different options at each position and no clear guy you have to pay up/down for. Ownership should be pretty spread out, making tournaments all the more fun. We start off with our favorite PG in Dennis Schroder. Schroder, who's now the number 1 option on the Hawks, has held an insane 30% usage rate that's lower than just 10 other players in the league. He's shooting 20+ times in many games and getting 10+ assists in the others. It's given him a level of consistency that we didn't see when he was forced to defer. The Knicks rank 2nd worst in basketball against point guards with 46.1 FP allowed. The price on Schroder is very fair and he's in play in all formats. You can count on him being around 20-25% owned. Mario Chalmers FD - $6100 DK - $5300 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 31.58 DK - 32.41 The price has risen, so it's not as easy as it's been the past few days. You could argue on FanDuel that he's a pretty average play when you consider the price of the next guy we touch on. On DraftKings, though, $5300 is too cheap for 30+ minutes of Mario Chalmers against the Nuggets. He still has the upside on FD, I'm just not making it a priority. Chalmers is the clear backup to Mike Conley, but he isn't a backup type of player. He initiates the offense and is willing to shoot 15 times a game. This is a guy I bet the Grizzlies trade because he could be starting on many different teams. He's shown his ability the last 4 games with Chalmers out and sees the best match-up yet with the Nuggets. Expect another 30ish FP performance. Safe and fairly priced. All you can ask for on a slate that lacks value. Goran Dragic FD - $6300 DK - $6700 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 32.71 DK - 34.1 We know...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Rudy Gobert, D'Angelo Russell, Patrick Beverley, Mike Conley, Danilo Gallinari will remain out These guys are recently injured and we already know the fantasy implications. Let's jump into some other news. Giannis Antetokounmpo has been ruled out with a knee injury This is obviously HUGE. In broad terms for the slate, it's going to make LeBron James VERY popular. It's also going to heighten the ownership on every other expensive option. He was one of the best plays on this slate and his absence is monstrous. For the Suns, it'll be a bunch of guys that benefit. With John Henson also out, the rotations are going to be rather tight. They still have some young options n the bench, but they're terrible players and they will need firepower with Giannis out. Eric Bledsoe, Khris Middleton, and Malcolm Brogdon are elite plays in all formats. Their minutes and production will be way up in a pace-up game against the Suns. This situation is one you will need exposure to. Devin Booker also gets a bump as he won't have to deal with Giannis defense if he gets hot (Middleton still a good defender). John Henson is also out for the Bucks We touched on mostly everyone there that you can play, but Thon Maker might get forced into 25-30 minutes as well. In a fast-paced match-up, the upside is certainly there. Joel Bolomboy and D.J. Wilson may also grab some minutes, but I highly doubt either makes a splash. If you could guarantee me 25+ minutes out of Wilson, he would be great. Henson has been a big part of this team, so don't dismiss this news because of bigger headlines. Paul Millsap is out indefinitely Minutes-wise, I think this is a wait and see approach with a ton of variance. In Millsap's absence, Faried, Hernangomez, Barton, and Lyles will all have opportunity. They will have a couple big games, but you'll never know when and the other 90% of the time will be 15 minutes off the bench. The only real guy you can trust in the Nuggets frontcourt is Nikola Jokic. His usage, minutes, and production will all rise with Millsap out. He's a guy I love tonight against the...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Eric Bledsoe FD - $6400 DK - $6500 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 36.54 DK - 37.42 I love how these two teams face off right as Eric Bledsoe gains his stride in Milwaukee. While we know narratives are always a little tough to navigate, this is a very new situation that should play a huge impact. I doubt Bledsoe is comfortable taking a bunch of shots away from his new teammates, but they will defer and he played a lot of PG anyway last game. He ended up playing 35 minutes and put up 41 fantasy points against John Wall. Ignoring the personal feud that Bledsoe has with the Suns, they stink against point guards. Since his departure, it's been Tyler Ulis and Mike James at the point. Two undersized guards that are in there for offense and speed. The Suns love to play fast and it'll be a certain pace-up game for a Bucks teams that plays somewhat slow. Vegas currently has this game at a 221 over/under with just a -5 line, so it should be high scoring and close. Bledsoe is way too cheap on both sites and a guy you can play in all formats, bar none. Damian Lillard FD - $9000 DK - $9100 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 44.43 DK - 46.16 There are a lot of different ways to pay up at point guard and a lot of them are in very solid spots. At the super high-end, Russell Westbrook has a very volatile match-up with the Warriors where he is a phenomenal tournament option. John Wall and Stephen Curry are also in good spots and can be played anywhere across the board. With that being said, Damian Lillard is our favorite of the bunch. He's struggled in 2 straight tough match-ups, so hopefully his ownership will be down with the other options. The 76ers toss out T.J. McConnell and Jerryd Bayless at point guard, who have exactly a 0% chance of slowing down Dame. I assume we'll see TLC or Covington on him at some point, which will at least be competitive. Lillard has been a stud both at home and on the road this year and Vegas...

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA or NFL? Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. What We Know Paul Millsap has been ruled out against the Kings He left the game after just 13 minutes of action yesterday, giving us a fairly good idea of the fantasy implications. Plumlee saw 30 minutes and is an excellent option in both cash games and tournaments. Lyles, Hernangomez, and Faried will split the rest. You cal also expect Nikola Jokic and crew to each get up a couple extra shots. What We're Waiting to Know John Wall is questionable against the Bucks Wall missed last game, so we certainly know the fantasy implications here. Brad Beal shot 23 times and will do whatever he wants for 34+ minutes. Tim Frazier picked up 35 minutes, but shot just 4 times, which isn't sustainable. They are both great plays in all formats if Wall is ruled out. If he plays, all the starters are in play for tourneys. Patrick Beverley is questionable to return after missing 5 games This one is pretty simple. Beverley gets big (28-32) minutes, so he's taking bunches of opportunity. If Beverley plays, Sindarius Thornwell will go back to the bench and Lou Williams will get some much needed rest. If he remains out, they are both in play against a weak Knicks defense. Tyreke Evans is questionable to play against the Blazers The Grizzlies are a fairly boring team, but Mike Conley is already ruled out, so they could be short-handed here. If Evans is out, Look for most of the minutes to go to James Ennis and Andrew Harrison. I'm tempted to think Chandler Parsons gets some extra run, but I don't know he's ever going to see 30 minutes again after what they have gone through with this guy. Tim Hardaway Jr. is questionable to play against the Clippers THJ shoots nearly as much as Porzingis, so there's a hole left if Hardaway is out. Porzingis is the first guy I would like as his usage would go through the roof. Minutes-wise, it should be a combo of Courtney Lee, Doug McDermott, and Frank Ntilikina. Zuniga is the only guy I have exposure to, but like Lee the most out of the rest. Every Lineup Guys Tim Frazier FD - $3100 DK - $3400Opponent - MILProj Pts...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $9900 DK - $10500 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 46.83 DK - 48.63 At this point, the ship has sailed on Russell Westbrook being anywhere near the fantasy player he was last year. He's sharing the ball a lot more and it's let him lessen his workload. He's still been a monster, though, putting up 40+ FP nearly every game and flashing the 60+ upside a few times. He now gets a match-up against a Pelicans squad that struggles with perimeter defense. On the season, they've allowed 43 FPPG to opposing PG's, which really isn't too bad. However, Jrue Holiday is not the right guy to cover Westbrook. He's not fast nor strong enough, and can't stay with him to the rim. Westbrook is priced into the player he is this year and will only need you about 45-50 in cash games. In what should be a very close game down to the wire, Westbrook makes for a solid play in all formats. Tim Frazier FD - $3100 DK - $3400 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 23.76 DK - 23.84 For the sake of this article, we'll be assuming John Wall is out. He missed the game just yesterday and it's rare to see a guy return on the end of a B2B. On the off-chance Wall does play, every Washington Wizard we look at sees a slight downgrade. Frazier sees a massive one. In that game just last night, Frazier ended up with 24 fantasy points in 35 minutes. At his price, that's more than enough, and also just about his floor. He's typically a lot more active when on the court and should put the ball in the bucket more efficiently here. The Bucks are an average defensive team and we can count on the weakest of all to see Frazier. Any good defender will have his hands full with Beal and Porter on the perimeter, who will be doing the real scoring here. Frazier is an attractive min-priced PG who will get you 30 minutes and hit value. It's always something to consider on a slate like this. Kemba Walker FD - $8300 DK - $7900 Opponent - MIN...
