What We Know Kenneth Faried will miss at least a week Faried hasn't been playing much anyway, so not too much to see here. However, it does solidify the minutes of Plumlee and Jokic. Both of them are in play tonight against a Bulls interior that can give it up in bunches. Outside of those guys, Juan Hernangomez and Arthur have some upside, but also have a 0-minute floor. What We're Waiting to Know John Wall is dealing with a cold, but looks likely to play This is definitely something to keep your eye on, as we all know how the NBA can do us with late scratches. With that being said, Wall definitely wants to play in this one. He is taking on the Warriors at home, which should give him plenty of motivation. If Wall does miss, Brad Beal becomes a must play. This match-up is going to be very high scoring and hopefully close enough. Victor Oladipo is questionable to play against the Jazz Oladipo has missed the last 2 games, with Alex Abrines and Russell Westbrook getting the biggest bumps. Abrines picked up around 30 minutes in each of the games, though I have no interest against a Jazz defense that will shut him down. As for Westbrook, he's match-up proof. While he may have a lower floor in this game, his upside is the same. The "Every Lineup" Guys Brad Beal This game between the Warriors and Wizards has a 323 over/under, which is the highest on the slate, by 17. We will be targeting this game a ton, as there should be plenty of guys who hit value. Beal should certainly be one of them, as this game fits his style perfectly. While Klay Thompson is a fine defender, he hasn't been phenomenal this year and plenty of worse SG's have had big games. Beal has been on fire lately, though I think that just might be who he...

What We Know Kyle Lowry will miss the rest of the regular season While Lowry should be back in time for the playoffs, this is devastating news for the Raptors. Lowry is obviously an essential piece to this team and makes a huge impact on every aspect of the team. In terms of DFS, 2 people will benefit most; DeMar DeRozan and Cory Joseph. DeRozan has been absolutely phenomenal without Lowry and will continue to see an uptick in usage. Joseph will pick up around 30-35 minutes and is a lock in cash games. Kristaps Porzingis has been ruled out against Porzigis has been hurt all season, so nothing new here. With Joakim Noah out as well, that leaves Hernangomez and O'Quinn. Hernangomez is the preferred option and he can be played in all formats. His price has risen, but rightfully so. As for O'Quinn, he is a better option in tournaments. His minutes can be iffy and this is a team that can play small if they want. Khris Middleton has been ruled out for rest purposes Middle just returned from injury recently, so we certainly know what the lineup looks like when he is out. Malcolm Brogdon figures to see the biggest boost, as he will pick up about 10 more minutes and a few extra shots. Michael Beasley could also see a few more minutes off the bench in order to keep up with the Cavs scoring. What We're Waiting to Know LeBron James is questionable to play with strep throat This is obviously humongous news. If LeBron plays, he and Irving are both good plays. If LeBron misses, Irving becomes an elite play, while guys like Richard Jefferson and Iman Shumpert become interesting as GPP punts. With that being said, Kyrie is really the only guy who gets a huge bump in my book. The "Every Lineup" Guys DeMar DeRozan DeRozan is a guy who benefits a ton from the Lowry...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $12800 DK - $12900 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 65.11 DK - 69.38 We start with the slate's highest priced player, Russell Westbrook. Westbrook looks to be himself after demolishing the Lakers in route to an easy victory, finishing with 17 points, 18 rebounds, and 17 assists. He gets a match-up with the Pelicans tonight, who have just shaken up the entire roster. Jrue Holiday will cover Westbrook 90% of the time and will struggle. Holiday lacks the speed to stay with Westbrook, so foul trouble could be in his early future. We all know the drill here. Westbrook is the top play on the slate and we have to weigh the pros and cons of fitting him in. On this slate, I will likely be paying up for Westbrook. There are solid ways to pay down and Westbrook is far more safe than anyone on the board. I could sit here and name more stats as to why Westbrook is good, but we all know just how good he is. Victor Oladipo is also currently questionable, which could give Westbrook a bump in usage and shots. This is a game we will target a lot with high priced options, as this could easily be a shootout in the 220's. Westbrook is a prime option in both cash games and tournaments. Chris Paul FD - $8600 DK - $8300 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 43.42 DK - 45.64 Chris Paul returned from his long absence by playing 33 productive minutes against the Spurs. The Spurs play very slow and are a tough match-up for point guards this season. As for the Hornets, the same can't be said. Kemba Walker is a notoriously bad defender and will struggle big-time with Paul. Remember, this is still a guy who is arguably a top 3 PG in the league. He has the upside to go crazy and the safety to keep you afloat even in the worst scenario. It looks like Paul is fully healthy as well, as his rotations weren't cut short in the 2nd half. He should play at least another 33 minutes in this one, with the possibility of more. This price is way too...

What We Know Dennis Schroder has been suspended for 1 game Schroder is obviously a huge part of this offense, so his absence will cause a lot. For one, Malcolm Delaney will immediately step in and have a big role. We will get to him in a bit. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Kent Bazemore also figure to play a few more minutes and have the ball in his hands a little bit more. The Heat are a slow team, but can give up plenty of fantasy points. What We're Waiting to Know Chris Paul is officially listed as questionable CP3 has been out for a couple months, so we could see things get shaken up here. If Paul remains out, we know the drill. If Paul plays, Rivers and Felton both lose a ton of appeal while DeAndre Jordan gains a little bit. He plays well with Paul and has a much higher ceiling when he's active. The "Every Lineup" Guys Dario Saric With Joel Embiid out, Nerlens Noel and Ersan Ilyasova being traded, Saric is a lock for huge minutes. This guy is a must start in my book, as I expect him to see upwards of 38-40 minutes and a whole bunch of usage. He has been over 35 fantasy points in each of his last 3 games, although he struggled from the field in 2 of them. I don’t think this is a fluke for Saric and it looks like the 76ers agree. They have given him a huge piece of the future and I think he handles it well. As for tonight, he faces off with the Wizards. They are not too great down low and can give up plenty of interior points, as well as open 3 pointers. Saric is a lock in both cash games and tournaments. Malcolm Delaney This one is pretty cut and dry. With Dennis Schroder suspended, Delaney will step in and play at least 30...

Trades that impact tonight Pelicans receive DeMarcus Cousins for Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway Rockets receive Lou Williams for Corey Brewer What We Know Chris Paul will remain out There was some talk of a return here, but they have been hushed. He has been announced out and will give it another go next game. Austin Rivers and Raymond Felton will continue to head the PG spot. Al-farouq Aminu has been rule dout vs the Magic Aminu does play a big role for this team, as a defensive stopper and rebounder. With him out, Maurice Harkless will be forced to step up. He has shown his ability to have big games in the past and this sets up like another prime opportunity. Harkless figures to see at least 28 minutes and makes for an interesting option across the board. What We're Waiting to Know Kenneth Faried is listed as doubtful vs the Kings Faried has been out for a couple weeks and it looks like he will miss at least 1 more game. If he does return, it will eat into the minutes of Plumlee and Hernangomez. If Faried misses, all 3 of the big men are great options. The "Every Lineup" Guys Darren Collison We talked about both of these guys in the main picks article and they remain solid options for the same reason. Collison is one of only 2 point guards on the roster, with only one shooting guard. That will force Collison into at least 35 minutes and a lock for cash game value. The tournament appeal is obviously there as well as he should hit 35 fantasy points with ease. The Nuggets are a pretty easy match-up for point guards giving up over 40 fantasy points per game. Collison is a fantastic option in both cash games and tournaments. Buddy Hield Buddy Hield got traded to the Kings, instantly drawing a comparison to Stephen Curry. Hield figures to draw...
