We've got you completely covered. The last player at each position is the top play in the early slate. Point Guard Tyler Ulis FD - $6000 DK - $6500 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 33.06 DK - 34.99 The Suns have made the executive decision to sit Eric Bledsoe out for the season, so this is the time for Tyler Ulis. Ulis has the reigns at PG and should continuously play at least 35 minutes. Ulis was extremely productive in the first game with Bledsoe out, playing 40 minutes and finishing with 36.5 fantasy points. Ulis has proven his ability to score over 1 FP per minute on a consistent basis. This match-up with the Pistons is a great one, as Reggie Jackson is nowhere near the defender he was expected to be. Ulis is basically a lock in cash games as I think he has a floor around 30 with a ceiling over 50 FP. His price has risen to over $6k on both sites as he is now the starting PG on one of the faster paced NBA teams in the league. Ulis can be counted on in all formats. Ricky Rubio FD - $7500 DK - $7500 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 38.22 DK - 40.51 Ricky Rubio has been on quite a tear lately, finishing with 30+ fantasy points in 12 straight games. He's also been over 40 fantasy points on 5 occasions in that time frame, proving his upside. The Pelicans are a very good match-up for Rubio, as they tend to play up in pace. Jrue Holiday is a fine defender, but he struggles when the pace is increased. This game is expected to be very close and rather high-scoring, sitting with a 208 over/under. While it's not the highest on the day, it's plenty enough points for Rubio to hit value. Thibs and the T-Wolves have a very weak bench, so they are forced to play the starters huge minutes. Rubio is a terrific option in both cash games and tournaments. He has a floor around 25 fantasy points and a ceiling over 50. Jeremy Lin FD - $6000 DK - $5900 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 28 DK - 30.19 We have a pretty interesting 2...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/17/17 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 Isaiah Thomas has been ruled out for the next 2 games Thomas has definitely been struggling to play big minutes lately, so this is a good move by the Celtics. Marcus Smart and Avery Bradley should both get big minutes and make for terrific plays. Jae Crowder and Al Horford may also see some extra shots, but I don't think they get a huge bump. Dwyane Wade has been ruled out for the season This is a bummer for the Bulls, as this season has really went to garbage. Jimmy Butler will see a ton of minutes and shots on a nightly basis and is an awesome play tonight. Rajon Rondo has also been playing well lately and makes a ton of sense in both cash games and tournaments. Trevor Booker has been ruled out Booker hasn't been playing huge minutes lately, but this does open up a couple of things. Brook Lopez is now a lock for 30 minutes and he will dominate the Celtics interior. Quincy Acy could also pick up a few minutes but I don't have any interest on a slate with great value. Eric Bledsoe has been shut down for the year This is a bit of a weird and unexpected move out of the Suns, but it does make sense. Tyler Ulis is one of the more promising young guards in the league and it'll be interesting to see how he plays down the stretch. Against theMagic tonight, he is almost a must play. We will touch on him in a bit. Devin Booker and T.J. Warren should also get a few more minutes and shots each. You can expect their prices to slowly rise. You can target any of those 3 guys in cash games and Ulis is a great way to go in all formats. Nemanja Bjelica has been ruled out for the season Bjelica was a big spark over the last couple games...

What We Know DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin have been ruled out for rest purposes This comes as a bit of a surprise here, though the Clippers are on a pretty tough 2nd half of a B2B. With both DeAndre and Griffin sitting, there are a few ways to look. Mo Speights is the only big man I have interest in and I would expect him to play around 25-30 minutes. Redick and Paul should also see a bunch more shots and will be needed to win this game. Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari have been ruled out against the Clippers These guys have both been hurt all season, so this is no surprise to see them out here. With Mike Miller being the only other SF on the active roster, the minutes will have to come from elsewhere. Will Barton and Juancho Hernangomez are the guys who get the biggest bump for me. Both are terrific plays in both cash games and tournaments. Jamal Murray could also get some run at the 2 if they go small and he can always get hot. Jokic is always great. You just have to weigh out his price. What we're waiting to know Kristaps Porzingis is officially doubtful against the Nets POrzingis found a way to get hurt again so it looks like he will miss at least 1 more game this season. Luckily, it's against the Nets, so we should be able to take advantage. Hernangomez is one of the top options n the slate and we will get to him later. Kyle O'Quinn and Lance Thomas could also pick up a few minutes but I don't have any interest outside of tournaments. Update: Kristaps is out The "Every Lineup" Guys Chris Paul CP3 is a guy who will need to step up in a huge way tonight. With DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin being ruled out, you can expect Paul to put the load on...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $9800 DK - $8800 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 46.93 DK - 49.27 Chris Paul and the Clips played the Bucks last night in what ended up being a very close game. They come right back tonight and face the Nuggets, who are a very similar team. Jameer Nelson and Jamal Murray will have the responsibility of covering Paul and they won't have much success. The Nuggets have ranked 24th in the league against PG's, allowing nearly 48 FP per game. Paul is still a bit under-owned in my opinion, as I think he is just as good of a DFS player as Stephen Curry, who is cheaper on both sites. Paul should be sitting around $10k on both sites and I absolutely love him on DK at just $8.8k. Paul should see around 35 minutes and hs been one of the most consistent players in the league this season when healthy. He looks to be at full health and the Clippers won't hesitate to push him for big minutes in a close game. With a floor of 40 and a ceiling of 65, I will have exposure everywhere. Derrick Rose FD - $6800 DK - $6700 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 33.89 DK - 35.85 Jeremy Lin FD - $5900 DK - $6000 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 28.81 DK - 30.7 Lin and Rose are probably 2 of the last players anyone would of thought would be playing the way they are recently. They have both been absolutely tremendous, consistently hitting 30 with a few flashes of upside. They will face off with each other tonight in what figures to be a pretty high-scoring affair. Rose is a bit more expensive and it makes sense as he's ben a bit more consistent and has been seeing more minutes. For that reason, I prefer him in cash games. Lin on the other hand, is a guy I have a ton of tournament exposure to. He has a ton of upside and has been hitting cash game value in less than 30 minutes. He will continue to see more run and his price will slowly rise. Make sure to take advantage before his...

What We Know Nicolas Batum has been ruled out with a migraine Batum missed last game, which resulted in Jeremy Lamb being about 70% owned in cash games. He will be in a similar spot tonight and once again makes for a tremendous cash and tournament play. The Pacers are a weak match-up for shooting guards and Lamb should have another solid night. Kemba could also pick up a few extra shots. LaMarcus Aldridge has been cleared to play This definitely hurts David Lee and Pau Gasol a lot. Aldridge will likely see around 20 minutes tonight, but those minutes are extremely precious when all of these guys are fighting for so few. I will likely ignore this interior as a whole on this slate. What we're waiting to know Wesley Matthews is a GTD against the Wizards Matthews has been on and off the injury report a ton lately, so this is really no surprise. Seth Curry got a huge bump last time Wes was out, seeing over 35 minutes and taking a ton of shots. Manny Harris was also recalled from the D-League but I doubt he sees more than 10 minutes. The PG situation in San Antonio Dejounte Murray has been ruled out and Tony Parker is officially questionable. With such a good match-up against the Blazers, you have to take a long look at Patty Mills. If Parker sits, Mills is basically a must play in cash games. If Parker plays, I still think he's an interesting tournament option. Parker could very well see 15 minutes and hit the bench. The "Every Lineup" Guys Jeremy Lamb This one is pretty cut and dry. With Nicolas Batum out, Jeremy Lamb is an easy plug and play. He sees plenty of usage on the offense and is also not scared to run point guard for a possession or two while Kemba rests. The match-up is prime as Monta Ellis is one of the...
