We've got you completely covered. What We Know What We're Waiting to Know Hassan Whiteside is questionable to play after missing the last 2 weeks He's looking closer to probable than questionable. On the off-chance Whiteside sits it out, James Johnson and Kelly Olynyk remain interesting plays. IIf Whiteside plays, I guess he's a decent GPP target, but this match-up with the Bulls isn't great anyway. All appeal would be stripped from Johnson and Olynyk. Marc Gasol and Mike Conley are questionable to play These guys are both looking like true question marks and it'll be interesting to see when the news finally drops. The game is 1 hour after lock, so we may or may not hear word beforehand. If both play, I'll stay away from Memphis. If just Conley sits out, Mario Chalmers becomes a top value option on the board. The same can be said for Jarell Martin if Gasol is out. If both of these guys sit, I like Tyreke Evans quite a bit. He's been needed to score and has stepped up in a big way. Orlando is weak on the perimeter and Evans is still too cheap. This game against the Magic is pace-up for the Grizzlies, so I'll look to get exposure if someone does sit out. Jonas Valunciunas and Lucas Nogueira are expected to play, but are officially questionable If you think Valunciunas is going to get 25 minutes, you can play him at his price. I won't do it, but I get it completely. This takes the appeal away from Jakob Poeltl and Pascal Siakam. J.J. Redick is probable to return after missing 2 games It gave Dario Saric the chance to start and he played alright. With Redick expected to be back, I don't have much interest in Saric. McConnell was the other guys benefiting, but he's still interesting with Fultz on the injury list. This game against the 76ers is pretty interesting but Redick doesn't do all that much in the grand scheme of things. Every Lineup Guys John Wall FD - $9700 DK - $9500 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 49.69 DK - 51.56 Wall is the one mainstay in my cash games today, and the optimizer agrees. There's a lot of different ways to...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard John Wall FD - $9700 DK - $9500 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 49.69 DK - 51.56 Halloween night wasn't the biggest NBA DFS slate, but it was full of action. We saw a few guys obliterate value and another couple that looked safe and failed us. We kick off November with a strong set of 12 games that include 6 over a 210 O/U. This bout between the Suns and Wizards is the highest of the bunch, currently sitting at 225.5. It's one of the highest over/under on the season and you won't see much higher all year long. It makes sense, both of these teams play fast and have a willingness to run in the open floor on a consistent basis. On the season, the Suns have allowed the most FPPG (Fantasy Points Per Game) to point guards and it's not close. Through 6 games, they've allowed 58 fantasy points per game to the opposing PG. The Timberwolves rank 2nd at 54. Without Eric Bledsoe, this team has no hope against dominant point guards. Wall certainly fits that category and should deliver as one of the most popular plays of the day. He's going to be a mainstay in my cash games and I doubt that's much of a hot take by the time opinions start rolling in. The match-up is obvious, the price isn't ridiculous, and the position isn't stacked. The recipe for Wall is nearly perfect. Let's hope he can get over 50 FP for the first time. Jarrett Jack FD - $5200 DK - $4700 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 24.33 DK - 24.44 Both sites have upped the price on Jack a bit, but not enough to take him out of consideration in a fast-paced match-up with the Rockets. Jack has gotten the start for the past 3 games and has been over 25 FP in each. He now sees a team that's without their starting point guard and relying on James Harden/Eric Gordon to take most of the minutes at the position. Neither are good defenders and it's why they've allowed the 8th most FP since Paul went out. At 34 years old, Jarrett Jack may not be able...

We've got you completely covered. What We're Waiting to Know Domantas Sabonis is questionable to play with an upper respiratory infection With Myler Turner out, Sabonis has taken advantage. He put up 30+ fantasy points in 3 of the last 4 games, so if he plays, he could be interesting. If Sabonis is out, the bulk of the minutes will go to Al Jefferson and T.J. Leaf. The match-up with the Kings isn't amazing, but both of these guys are super cheap and should get close to 25-30 minutes. DeMarre Carroll is officially questionable to miss his 2nd straight game, but is leaning on the side of playing Allen Crabbe is the man to own if Carroll is unable to go. He saw close to 30 minutes with Carroll out last game and now has a great match-up with the Suns. If Carroll plays, I'll likely ignore both him and Crabbe. This is a game you'll want exposure to, so pay attention to this situation. Zach Randolph has been upgraded to probable to play It looks like he'll go here, so that takes Skal Labissiere out of the top value tier. He's still in play against the weak Indy bigs, but he's not a must. On the off chance that Randolph sits this one out, you can plug Labissiere into every lineup. Willie Cauley-Stein will get his minutes either way, but is safer with Z-Bo out. Every Lineup Guys Andre Drummond FD - $9200 DK - $8200 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 44.18 DK - 43.5 Nobody is ever a "must" in NBA at this price, but Drummond is in as good of a spot as ever. For one, he looks to have turned a corner. He's playing more minutes and looks a lot more lively on the court. Even when he gets into foul trouble, he's bouncing back and playing 20 minutes in the 2nd half. He's been over 45 fantasy points in 4 straight contests and hasn't had a total meltdown yet, which happened about twice a week last season. He also sees the defense of Brook Lopez, who is quite possibly the worst rebounding center in the league. They will go back and forth on the scoreboard, but Drummond will obliterate him on the...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Hassan Whiteside has been ruled out for at least 1 more game For an injury that looked to be very minor, I guess not. It's held Whiteside out nearly all season now and he's going to miss at least 1 more. 1 very important one. The T-Wolves come into town and bring Karl Anthony-Towns with. Towns will now be defended by Bam Adebayo and Kelly Olynyk. Adebayo could be a good defender in 5 years, but is like a college kid trying to cover KAT right now. Towns is an elite play in all formats. On the Heat side, James Johnson and Kelly Olynyk stand to benefit most, with Adebayp getting a tough match-up for 25ish minutes. I don't personally have any exposure, but could see James Johnson going off in this type of game. Serge Ibaka and Jonas Valunciunas will both sit out against the Blazers Lucas Nogueira is also questionable, so things may get ugly. If he is out, Pascal Siakam and Jacob Poeltl will see big minutes. Siakam is my favorite PF play for the $. I think the Raptors are set on not letting Poeltl go over 25 minutes, but it could also just be a sample size issue. I'll have exposure to him if Nogueria is out, but could see them each getting 22 minutes if he plays. What We're Waiting to Know Marc Gasol is questionable to play with a left ankle injury Gasol is obviously the biggest part of this entire offense, so he'll leave a huge hole in the case he sits out. I first look towards Mike Conley, who will see a huge uptick in usage against a weak defender in Kemba Walker. I then get to Jarell Martin, who should see 30+ minutes at dirt cheap. The downside to it all is the slow-paced match-up with the Hornets. I don't think you need to go crazy here, even if Gasol misses, but getting exposure to Conley or Martin could do you well. Dennis Smith Jr. went through shootaround, but remains questionable to play vs the Jazz Smith Jr. is already getting dinged up a lot, which is quite annoying for fantasy prospects. It's never fun to play a guy coming off...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard Kyle Lowry FD - $7500 DK - $7600 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 38.74 DK - 39.96 Welcome back! For some, Sundays are all about football. For others, it's another day of the NBA season. Either way, it's a solid 9-game slate with plenty of different targets at each position. We'll jump in with Kyle Lowry and the Raptors, on the road in Portland. We have a marquee match-up on our hands with Lowry and Lillard that should have electricity flowing from both sides. Lillard is the most expensive PG on the slate and Lowry is much better on defense. That puts us on Lowry, who's $2K cheaper with similar upside. He snapped with a triple-double against the Lakers last time out and gets a similar match-up here against a Blazers team that plays slightly faster. The Blazers allowed the 4th most FPPG to PG's in 2016 and will likely be worse with the addition of Nurkic, who isn't much of a defensive stopper under the rim. Lowry will have no problem initiating the offense and making plays all night long, as long as this game stays close. Vegas certainly thinks it will and it's a game you can target a ton in both cash games and tournaments. Lowry is your best bet at PG for 35 points and gives you a realistic 55 fantasy point upside. There's a lot of different ways to go at PG, so nobody should be too highly owned. Jarrett Jack FD - $4200 DK - $4300 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 23.39 DK - 23.49 We don't get Jack at the minimum price he was a couple days ago, but he's still super cheap and he looks solidified in his role. He'll get the start once again against a small Nuggets backcourt that doesn't do much defensively. Jack has played 33 and 25 minutes as a starter so far and has a match-up here that he matches up great with. Jamal Murray is getting the bulk of minutes as PG for the Nuggets and he's more of a scorer than anything else. You need about 22-25 out of Jack for cash games and that should come with no issue, even in...
