We've got you completely covered. Point guard John Wall FD - $10200 DK - $10200 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 51.97 DK - 53.97 Welcome to another solid slate of NBA DFS. We have 10 games on the docket with 6 of them holding a 210+ over/under. With so many games expected to be high-scoring, it's important who you end up with at point guard. It's a premier position that you typically need value out of to cash. John Wall had an average game last time out against the Suns with 45 fantasy points on 19 points and 12 assists. He now enters an elite match-up with the Los Angeles Lakers. Lonzo Ball has looked like a pretty average defender and he hasn't seen anyone of John Wall's caliber. The Lakers have a non-existent interior on defense and Wall should be able to penetrate without worry. Wall is the same exact PG this year as he was last and just has more chemistry with the backcourt mate Bradley Beal. This game is also going to be a focal point of the slate, as it's 231 projected total is the highest on the board. Wall is the best player in the game and if it stays close, we could see a classic John Wall outing. Tyler Johnson FD - $4200 DK - $4300 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 22.55 DK - 22.25 Goran Dragic was just randomly listed as questionable, so you have to think things may be trending in the wrong direction. If he happens to miss, Tyler Johnson will see 35+ minutes and have the ball in his hands a ton. Remember, the Heat have invested $50 million dollars into Tyler Johnson. He's a big part of the team and who they plan on building into. Spoelstra is comfortable playing him a lot and trusts him to run the offense when Dragic is out. The match-up with the Spurs isn't phenomenal, but they are a lot worse against PG 's than SG or SF. We also have Dion Waiters questionable, so Johnson could be in for some HUGE minutes, along with Josh Ricardson and Wayne Ellington in the backcourt. Johnson is the most talented of the bunch and the guy who coaches have...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Aaron Gordon is good to go After missing 2 games with an ankle injury, Aaron Gordon will return for a prime match-up against the Nets. He's definitely in play, but we have no real clue of how much how many minutes he gets. This game is probably the most attractive of the slate, so don't let this news get you off of anyone. With that being said, all of the starters on the Magic will see a few less shots. I'm not sure it matters, though, with a 229 over/under on tap. Myles Turner has been ruled out against the Timberwolves Turner has already missed 2 games and it's looking like he's starting off the season with a relatively serious injury. Domantas Sabonis has seen the biggest impact and saw 30 minutes and a double-double last game. The T-Wolves have a solid interior and I have absolutely no interest in any Pacers big. Elfrid Payton has been ruled out with a hamstring injury Elfrid will Join Turner on the early season injury list and sit out again against the Nets. He was injured against the same team just 4 days ago. D.J. Augustin played well in his absence, but his price is now up and he saw just 26 minutes. You'll want to look towards the other 4 starters in both cash games and tournaments in a fast-paced affair with Brooklyn. P.S I know it's Derrick Rose face. I can't figure it out. Deal with it 🙂 Derrick Rose is out for the next 2 games With J.R. Smith also questionable, things could turn ugly in the Cavs backcourt. First, I think LeBron sees close to 40 minutes. They got beat by Orlando last game and he will shut the door early. Iman Shumpert is the only other guard I have interest in, as Calderon and Osman will take 15 minutes each, but aren't worth anything by themselves. Milos Teodosic has been ruled out indefinitely Here's a quote from Patrick Beverley on Milos Tediosic - “It forces everyone else to make that extra pass, make that extra play for your next teammate. I mean, it’s no secret about it: He’s the best playmaker we have on the team. He’s a pass-first...

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 Nicolas Batum, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Kawhi Leonard, Chris Paul, Markieff Morris, and Seth CUrry will all remain out These are guys who have already missed some games and will remain out tonight. We know, for the most part, the fantasy implications that come along. Hassan Whiteside has been ruled out with a knee bone bruise Whiteside has supposedly been laboring his knee quite a bit over the last few days and there was a lot of speculation early that he would miss this one and it was spot on. He missed last game and we saw 3 guys get a big minutes boost. Kelly Olynyk and James Johnson both saw just under 30 minutes and played well. They saw so little minutes because the Pacers were missing Myles Turner, so there was almost a mutual agreement to go small. They should see bigger minutes against a Hawks squad who kind of have a center. Josh Richardson also saw 37 minutes and he seems to get slept on as a whole. All 3 guys are in play, as well as Dragic and Waiters. Take your pick. Eric Bledsoe was sent home from practice and will not play against the Kings The Suns and Bulls should play a 7-game series in the middle of the ocean with neither the winner or loser returning. On a serious note, it's disconcerting to see a team fall apart so quickly. Eric Bledsoe tweeted on Sunday that he wanted out of Phoenix and was then sent home this morning at shootaround. He's been held out at least 1 game and I'm not sure he sees the court as a Sun again. Folks, this is Devin Booker time. Against the fast-paced Kings, he will shoot over 20 times and is a bear kick for 30 real life points. Tyler Ulis could also see an uptick in minutes and he provided quite the spark in 2016. P.S. Devin Booker is going to shoot a lot. Dennis Schroder and Ersan Ilyasova Ilyasova are out against the Heat I guess this one could go two ways. If the Heat play James Johnson at the 5 and force Dewayne Dedmon out of the game, it may be a small ball affair all night....

We've got you completely covered. Point guard John Wall FD - $10300 DK - $10100 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 53.8 DK - 55.16 Welcome back from Sunday Football! Whether you got yourself involved in the 3-game slate or not, yesterday was about football. We jump back into things tonight with an 8-game slate, featuring plenty of polarizing match-ups. We start off with the Wizards and Nuggets. In a game with an incredibly high 223 over/under, Vegas expects plenty of scoring and non-stop action throughout. As we all know, John Wall thrives in the open court. He derives upside from the fastbreak and turning outlets into assists/baskets instead of halfcourt sets. He should be able to do whatever he wants against the Nuggets, who are starting Jamal Murray at PG for the time being. He's a great scorer, but Murray isn't in the game to play defense. He pushes the ball and has allowed over 1.4 FP/min. They then have Jokic in the paint, who doesn't do much protecting. If you're able to find some of his defensive film on Twitter, you'll be surprised how slow a guy can be from the elbow to rim. Wall is going to be very popular and rightfully so. He's the best run and gun PG in basketball and he faces off with one of the fastest playing teams in the league. There's no reason to fade, outside of liking 2 other guys more. In cash games, I'll be locking him into 100%. Goran Dragic FD - $7100 DK - $7000 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 37.12 DK - 37.98 It looks like Hassan Whiteside is going to miss a 2nd straight game with a bone bruise. Though reported doubtful, he is officially questionable, so keep an eye out as the day moves along for an update. Dragic is an even better play if Whiteside is out, but it doesn't make a huge difference. When facing the Hawks, you first look towards PG. Dennis Schroder is one of the worst defenders in the league and Dragic is the perfect guy to take advantage. He's crafty enough to drive and execute in the paint and good enough to stretch the floor and hit the 3 if Schroder cheats back. Dragic...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Draymond Green is good to go After being listed as doubtful just yesterday, I think Draymond Green realized who the opponent was. The Pelicans are going to give the Warriors all their worth down low and Green will be very necessary on both defense and offense. It lessens the Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins love to a degree, but they are both guys that are still in cash game consideration for me. I think this game still stays close and there could very well be a lot of fantasy goodness. Nicolas Batum, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Rajon Rondo, Markieff Morris, Marcus Morris, and Seth Curry will all remain out These are guys that have been out the first few games and will remain out at least 1 more. Nothing new to see here. Cody Zeller has been ruled out against the Hawks with a knee injury This is pretty meaningless news. Zeller played just 23 minutes off the bench in game 1 and we should see those minutes split between Johnny O'Bryant and Frank Kaminsky. Kaminsky is an interesting GPP play, but this game isn't very interesting in the first place. Zach Randolph participated in shootaround and is expected to return tonight following a dental surgery Skal Labissiere took over for Randolph and played well in his absence. Labissiere will move back to the bench, but he should still get close to 30 minutes. You can still play him. As for Randolph, he's heavily reliant on points and rebounds. While that seems weird to say, he just does NOTHING else. With his age and him likely seeing closer to 25 minutes, I'm fine staying away until we see a decent sample size of effectiveness. What We're Waiting to Know Myles Turner is doubtful to play against the Blazers Turner is a big piece of this offense, so his absence should give us some opportunity. He played 33 minutes in game 1 against the Nets, finishing with 51 fantasy points. The bulk of his minutes should go Domatanas Sabonis, who will get the start. Al Jefferson will pick up a few, but he's way too old to garner more than 15 or 20 minutes. Sabonis is an interesting GPP play, but you can do...
