Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/28/17 Welcome to the daily updates and injury news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it! Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock tonight. By the way - we keep our projection system updated with all of the changes as they occur throughout the day right up until lineup lock. Every day. If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below! START YOUR FREE TRIAL! What We Know Paul Millsap, Kent Bazemore, and Thabo Sefolosha will all miss tonight's game No surprise here, as it looks like the Hawks are just waiting for the playoffs at this point. They need Millsap at full health if they want any shot. Ersan Ilyasova will continue to pick up minutes and makes sense in all formats. Taurean Price will also start and see huge minutes. He is one of the top plays on the day. Jahlil Okafor will remain out against the Nets This one is also expected, as the 6ers have every incentive to lose. Richaun Holmes and Dario Saric are both great plays in both formats. Shawn Long has seen 20 minutes in 2 straight, so he could be a pretty interesting GPP option. With that being said, I don't think it's necessary on this slate. Brandon Ingram has been ruled out against the Wizards Ingram missed last game, which resulted in Corey Brewer getting the start and playing 19 minutes. David Nwaba was the main benefactor, seeing 29 solid minutes. Clarkson also saw upwards of 40 minutes, which should speak to them going small. If the Wizards are willing to go small, I expect Nwaba and Clarkson to have big nights. If the Wizards get an advantage and stick to their guns, Nance and Zubac will get more minutes. This is an interesting game and it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. What we're waiting to know Reggie Jackson is offically questionable, but leaning towards doubtful This puts Ish Smith at the top of our radars. He is absolute stud if Jackson is ruled out. KCP and Marcus Morris could also get a few extra shots, but I don't have much interest against the Heat. Khris Middleton missed shootaround and is questionable to play Middleton has been a big part of this team over the past month, so this could get interesting. Malcolm Brogdon and Giannis have the...

If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below! START YOUR FREE TRIAL! What We Know Carmelo Anthony is available to play It looks like Melo is going to return tonight, which definitely hurts the likes of Mindaugas Kuzminskas, Kristaps Porzingis, and Derrick Rose. Anthony makes for an interesting option in tournaments, but I think I'll stay away. outside of Melo, Porzingis and Rose are both interesting. What we're waiting to know DeMarcus Cousins is questionable to play against the Jazz Cousins missed the game last night, so I would definitely expect him to miss this one against one of the best defenses in the league. If Cousins is out, Anthony Davis becomes a very interesting play. Jrue Holiday should also pick up a few shots and minutes. If Cousins plays, I will look to avoid the situation as a whole. The Jazz are extremely good in the interior. Gordon Hayward is questionable against the Pelicans Hayward has been playing huge minutes for the Jazz, as always. If Hayward plays, nothing really changes. If Hayward is out, Joe Johnson and Joe Ingles will both get big minutes. Both of them are both great options. George Hill will also pick up a few shots and he makes a lot of sense in both cash games and tournaments. Marc Gasol is considered questionable to play Marc Gasol, like Hayward, is a pivotal member of his team, on both sides. If Gasol plays, he is still a pretty good option. If Gasol is out, Zach Randolph is a GREAT play. He would see about 35 minutes against a very weak Kings interior. Willie Cauley-Stein will also see 30+ minutes tonight and if Gasol isn't there, he will have a much better match-up. The "Every Lineup" Guys DeMar DeRozan There really isn't any must plays on this slate, so take the "every lineup" title with a grain of salt. With that being said, there are some guys who stand far above the rest, with DeMar DeRozan being one of them. The Raptors...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $8900 DK - $8100 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 43.55 DK - 46.08 Paul and the Clippers will start us off here against the Kings, who have all but lost interest in the 2017 season. The Clippers on the other hand, need to win. With the Thunder and Grizzlies both breathing down their necks, you can bet Rivers will have his stars out there. Paul hasn't had many big games recently, out of convenience. The last 3 games where Paul saw under 35 minutes were huge blowouts, which make sense. He's an older guard with an injury history and will be rested if given the opportunity. While this game does have the potential to turn into a blowout, I don't think it does. The Clippers are enduring the 2nd half of a back to back and the bench is very worn out. I expect Rivers to rely on the starters here for around 35 minutes and Paul to have a big game. While the safety is basically built in, this is one of the best match-ups for his upside. Collison is not a good pick and roll defender, and as we know, Paul is a PNR orchestrator. Paul is the top option at PG, though there are plenty of ways to go. Jrue Holiday FD - $7200 DK - $7200 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 35.06 DK - 37.51 Holiday has taken advantage of the acquisition of DeMarcus Cousins, finishing with 40 fantasy points on a regular basis since his addition. Holiday has done a terrific job of spreading the ball around and feeding the hot hand, which is hard to do with 2 superstars. He has also taken his own lane and done a bit of scoring, with so much attention on the big men. Holiday doesn't come off as a guy with huge upside, but he does have it, scoring over 60 fantasy points on 3 different occasions just this season. The Nuggets are atrocious against point guards and neither Jameer Nelson or Jamal Murray are physical enough to slow down Holiday. They will both be bullied by on-ball screens and be forced to switch on a big man. The Nuggets could struggle...

If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below! START YOUR FREE TRIAL! What We Know Paul Millsap and Kent Bazemore will remain out tonight sgainst the Bucks This comes as no surprise, as the Hawks have given us a warning that they are being very careful with these 2. They are both extremely pivotal to the team and aren' really needed right now. They will be full go's once the playoffs hit and be playing close to 40 minutes a night in and night out. For now, Taurean Prince, Thabo Sefolosha, and Ersan Ilyasova will benefit. Prince and Ilyasova are out favorite and come in as fantastic plays in both formats. The Bucks are a very average defense and struggle against athletic perimeter players. What we're waiting to know John Wall is a GTD against the Nets with a migraine This is the biggest piece of news on the day and one that will dictate a lot on this slate. If Wall plays, I don't have much interest in this Wizards offense. They will destroy the Nets and I'm worried about guys not seeing regular minutes. If Wall sits, it's a completely different story. Brad Beal becomes a fantastic option in all formats and Otto Porter also gets a bump. Remember, the Wizards picked up Brandon Jennings. He's a pretty good backup and I could see him having a productive game if given the minutes. T.J. Warren is officially questionable, but not expected to play I doubt Warren is hurt to any significant degree. The Suns have made it quite clear by sitting Bledsoe, Knight, and Chandler for the season that they don't want to win. Warren certainly gives them a better chance of winning and they don't mind holding him out with a couple bruises. I doubt they force him against the Celtics, who will likely blow out the Suns anyway. If Warren does play, he's pretty interesting against the Celtics. If Warren misses, I will just stick with Ulis and Booker. Derrick Jones got the...

What We Know Serge Ibaka will face his 1-game suspension tonight Ibaka has been a big piece of this Raptos offense with Lowry out, so DeRozan will see a nice bump in usage for sure. Patrick Patterson should be the main beneficiary in terms of minutes and makes for a pretty interesting play in all formats. Jonas Valunciunas could also see an uptick if the Raptors stay big. What we're waiting to know T.J. Warren is questionable to play against the Nets T.J. Warren has been playing tremendous for the Suns lately, so we will definitely want to keep an eye on this situation. I am completely off of Warren in a season where the Suns could care less about winning. There is a reach chance he sees limited minutes, even if fully active. If Warren is out, Derrick Jones could see big minutes. Devin Booker and Tyler Ulis would also be locked into huge minutes as the backup guards would have to play the 3. Derrick Rose is questionable to play against the Blazers Rose left the arena with a brace and limp last night, so who really knows what's going on here. If Rose is a full go, he makes for an extremely interesting play against Damian Lillard defense. If Rose misses, I would expect Ron Baker to start and be a pretty interesting GPP option. The "Every Lineup" Guys Tyler Ulis Ulis is going to see over 40 minutes once again and I just don't see the merit in fading on this slate. He has an elite match-up against the Nets and provides a ton of safety. Lin is an atrocious defender and Ulis will have no problem getting to the rim. The Suns want to see what they have in Ulis and he certainly wants to show them. He has been over 35 fantasy points in 3 of the last 4 and I think he returns there tonight. Ulis is a...
