Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $12300 DK - $11600Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 57.9 DK - 60.81 We kick things off with the guy who's led this article more than anyone else. Russell Westbrook is still the best DFS player in the league and he's been disgusting recently. Over the last 5 games, he's been over 60 in 4. He's sat between 36 and 40 minutes in each of them and has a concrete floor of 55 at this point. The match-up against New Orleans is literally ideal. On the season, they rank dead last against point guards at 46.5 FPPG. Rondo will start on Westbrook, but I think Jrue Holiday ends up on him down the stretch. He's a better defender, but the Pelicans rank 26th against SG's, so how good can he really be? Not great. They already stink underneath the rim and are only getting worse with Cousins out of the mix. The price is high on Westbrook, but there's a good shot he gets to 65 if the game stays close. Westbrook is my favorite way to pay up on this entire slate. Terry Rozier FD - $6500 DK - $6600Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 32.94 DK - 33.28 Kyrie is still questionable, so we wait. The obvious difference tonight is that Rozier has been priced up on both FD and DK to $6500. It's not expensive enough if he gets the start and 32-35 minutes, but he's also not a must play. You can still get guys like Spencer Dinwiddie or Goran Dragic for cheaper. With that being said, you also can't ignore Rozier just because of the price. We know he's worth well over $7k when starting and he does have a phenomenal match-up. On the season, the Hawks rank 25th against PG's. Schroder is a bad defender, but it has more to do with the lack of help around him and in the paint. Rozier is no normal PG, either. He's one that likes to get into the paint and go for efficiency. He will let it go from 3, but you'll typically find him under the basket fighting for boards or kicking it out to someone else. The triple-double last game...

While we have just a 5-game slate on our hands, there is plenty to dive into. We still have 4 or 5 important injuries to wait for and another 2 or 3 already set in stone. One of those is John Wall. The Wizards will be without Wall for the recent future and it leaves a huge hole at PG. Kyle Lowry will look to take advantage against lackluster defenders like Tomas Satoransky and Tim Frazier. Lowry has been one of the more consistent players on the season and deserves all the cash-game love. He’s over 30 FP in just about every game and occasionally flashes that 50 point ceiling. The Wizards like to play fast and will have some trouble at PG until they figure things out without Wall. Lowry is still expensive, so a fade is fine, it’s just the lack of other options around this price range is troubling. He’s a guy I’ll have in close to 100% of lineups. Tomas Satoransky FD - $4900 DK - $4600 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 24.83 DK - 24.76 We'll now look at 2 value PG's, who are in play because of injuries. Tomas Satoransky has seen 21 and 30 minutes with Wall hurt and has put up 24 and 27 fantasy points. He's always been productive when on the floor and it just comes down to how many minutes you can bet on. I think it's safe to assume 25 in games with Wall out, but he'll be over 30 in most of them. He's trusted to run the offense when out there and has posted a 19% usage over the last 2, up from his typical 15%. The match-up with Toronto is nothing to write home about, but it's fine. He's a lot bigger than Kyle Lowry and should be able to take advantage inside. He's a guy who gets his upside from rebounds and assists, so we're not too worried about him scoring. The Raptors are a bottom-7 rebounding team and 2nd to last against PG's. Satoransky is never a guy...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kyrie Irving has been ruled out against the Knicks with a quad injury With Marcus Smart already out for an extended period of time, the Celtics are extremely shorthanded here. Rozier was already getting 25-30 minutes on most nights and will get close to 38 now. I think the rest of the minutes gets spread out evenly between Larkin, Nader, Allen, and Bird. We'll also see Horford, Brown, and Tatum pick up a few extra shots and have the ball in their hands a lot more often than normal. Horford and Rozier are my 2 favorite plays in both formats. Kevin Love will miss 6-8 weeks with a fractured hand Love broke his hand in the beginning of last game, so we don't really know exactly how the Cavs will react. With the minutes, it'll be a mix of Crowder, Frye, and Green. They are all interesting and I'm sure 2 of the 3 will destroy value. LeBron and Isaiah will also see a few extra shots and Thomas now has no competition for shots after LBJ. Against an average, yet slow Heat squad, I'm not a huge fan of anyone. Thomas and LeBron are my favorites with Crowder following shortly behind. Lauri Markkanen will not travel for this game for personal reasons Mirotic was questionable as well, but he's been cleared. That leaves us with Mirotic and Portis at the 4 for Chicago. Both will see extended run and deserve attention in all formats against a weak Blazers interior. Portis and Mirotic are 2 of the most productive DFS players in the league when on the floor and are just victims of their situations. I'll have a ton of exposure to both (mostly Portis) in all formats and don't think there is much of a floor under 25 for either. What We're Waiting to Know Devin Booker is questionable to return against the Mavericks Booker missed last game against the Grizzlies, so we know where the minutes will go for the most part. Honestly, I hate how the Suns coach. Everything about it. Aside from T.J. Warren getting a concrete 35+ minutes and FP's, nothing on this entire team is certain. Caanan saw the start last game and played just...

We're usually looking at one of the biggest slates of the week on Wednesday, but it's not the case here. With just 8 games on the board, our player pool is a bit more concentrated. That's not to say there isn't just as much to get into. We have a lot of weird spots and some injuries that are affecting a ton. We're going to kick it off in Portland with Damian Lillard, who'll host the Bulls in the Moda Center. The Bulls have been better against point guards since Kris Dunn went out, but are still ranked just 21st in the league. We know how dominant Lillard is and he much prefers playing at home. He's playing the best basketball of his career right now and won't be slowed down against a lackluster-at-best Chicago Bulls squad. Vegas has the game sitting at a 214 over/under with the Blazers favored by just 6, so they fully expect him to be in there for 35+ minutes in a fast-paced affair. His price is still fair on both sites under $10k and will only need to have you one of his average games. The match-up is tremendous and the Yogi Ferrell FD - $4300 DK - $5100Opponent - PHOProj Pts FD - 22.27 DK - 22.93 I've been targeting Ferrell for a few weeks now and while his production has been up and down, you can't argue with the opportunity. He's locked into 30+ minutes off the bench and is in the game when competitive down the stretch. He now sees the match-up we all look for when targeting PG's, the Phoenix Suns. They rank 25th against the position and play at the league's fastest PACE, so it's a perfect environment for a quick guard like Ferrell that excels in the open court. Vegas expects this game to be close and holds a much higher total than most Mavs' games. Ferrell is still underpriced on both sites and can be played in all formats. There's obviously a lot to miss out on at PG, so make sure you have a concrete...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know John Wall will be sidelined for 6-8 weeks with a knee injury Yikes. This looked like a minor injury that was going to hold out Wall for just a game or two, but obviously not. We've gone through this before, fortunately, so we do know how to react. Brad Beal will start heaving up a ton of shots and be the clear usage leader on the offense. Minutes-wise, Tim Frazier and Tomas Satoransky will split minutes at the 1. Either can be considered in a tournament, but we don't have much of an idea who will end up with the bulk of minutes. Porter Jr. and Markieff Morris will also get an uptick in usage and a few extra shots. The Thunder not only play fast, but don't have much of a team defense. Target Beal in all formats. Aaron Gordon has been ruled out against the Rockets Gordon has been playing 35-40 minutes a night, so there's a ton of opportunity here. Khem Birch is the main benefactor and he's going to see well over 30 minutes. He's been one of the more efficient players when on the floor at 1.85 FP per minute/ You can lock him into both cash games and tournaments. The other meaningful minutes should go to Simmons and Hezonja. Mason Plumlee has been ruled out against the Spurs With Nikola Jokic getting 35-40 minutes on most nights, he's pretty maxed out. Most of the 25-30 minutes from Plumlee should go to Trey Lyles, Kenneth Faried, and Darrell Arthur. For me, it'll be Lyles and Jokic. Arthur and Faried have upside, but neither are guaranteed to see over 15 minutes. Jokic and Lyles are both guaranteed more than usual and are in an average match-up with the Spurs interior. Trevor Ariza, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Caris LeVert, Skal Labissiere, and Willie Cauley-Stein all remain out Lots of guys here that are missing their 2nd or 3rd game in a row. We know what to do for the most part. If you have any questions, comment below and I'll get right to them well before lock. What We're Waiting to Know Chris Paul is questionable to play against the Magic with a sore right groin This is obviously huge...
