We've got you completely covered. What We Know Lonzo Ball will remain out and Brandon Ingram is expected to return with a minutes limit We have Jordan Clarkson as the top play on this slate and we're going to get there later. He'll take the majority of minutes for Ball and you can ignore any other backup PG. With Ingram, it's a situation I'll stay away from. If Ingram ends up being out, Josh Hart will see 35+ minutes and is in play in all formats. Jaylen Brown has been ruled out against the Hornets Brown plays 30 minutes a game, so this matters. With Ojeleye out as well, we'll see Smart, Rozier, Nader, and, and Bird all get minutes. I don't think anyone turns into a great play, but Smart is probably my favorite. Kyrie Irving and Al Horford may also pick up some shots and are already in play against an average Hornets defense. What We're Waiting to Know Victor Oladipo is questionable to play with a sore right knee Now for the biggest news of the day. Oladipo has a top-20 usage in the NBA and we'll see a lot of shots move around if he's out. The first guy to look at would be Myles Turner. He is the number 2 option on this offense and has a friendly match-up with an immobile Mavs frontcourt. Lance Stephenson, Darren Collison, and Bogdan Bogdanovic will also see 4-5 minutes each and a few shots. The Mavericks are a pretty slow team overall, so I don't think you need to go crazy here. If Oladipo ends up missing, I will have the most exposure to Turner and Stephenson, with closer to 50% on Collison and Bogdanovic. Every Lineup Guys Jordan Clarkson FD - $5500 DK - $5600Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 30.8 DK - 31.81 With Lonzo Ball out, you can go ahead and pencil in Jordan Clarkson for 35-40 minutes. The match-up with the Grizzlies is always rough on the surface, but it's not nearly as bad as it typically is. With Mike Conley out, it's a lot of Andrew Harrison at the 1. He's a pretty lackluster defender and it's why the Grizz rank 16th against PG's since he went out. The Lakers are favored...

We've got you completely covered. Point guard John Wall FD - $8700 DK - $8900 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 43.52 DK - 43.43 After returning from injury 2 weeks ago, Wall saw his first game over 35 minutes against the Celtics. It's exactly what I expected and looks to be fully healthy at this point. His price is still too low and he makes for a phenomenal play in all formats.he faces off with Dennis Schroeder and a Hawks team that ranks 6th worst against opposing PG's. Schroder is a terrible defender in his own right and has no big man to cover up his flaws. Wall is going to exploit this defense wherever he wants and can be chalked in for a double/double before tip. The game is expected to say close and with a 214 total and -5 spread. there are plenty of FP for the guy who always has the ball. Wall is an excellent play in all formats that will likely be very highly owned and I really don't care. A cheap John Wall in a top 10 match-up is something I won't get cute with.  Jeff Teague FD - $6700 DK - $6100 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 35.56 DK - 35.75 Here's another rather cut and dry option at PG. The Nuggets have been the worst team in the league against PG's all season long and currently sit at 27th. The T-Wolves and Teague played exceptionally, finishing with 37 fantasy points in 32 minutes. He seems to have found his role on this offense and has shown a high level of consistency lately. His price is below $7k on both sites and at an extreme value on DK. This is a guy you might want to stay away from in tournaments if you're looking for 50+ upside, but I' m not sure I'll practice what I preach. He's a little too cheap for me and a guy I'll probably just plug in there across the board. Andrew Harrison FD - $4200 DK - $4100 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 23.92 DK - 23.26 Andrew Harrison has been over 30 minutes in 2 straight games and we have to pay attention here. Even if he...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Nikola Vuevic is out for 6-8 weeks with a fracture He only played 5 minutes before fracturing his hand last game, so we somewhat know what to expect. Bismack Biyombo got up to 24 minutes and could easily get to 30 if playing well. Adreian Payne may also pick up 20 minutes if Aaron Gordon is ruled out. We'll dive in deeper later with Aaron Gordon. Hassan Whiteside is expected to return tonight After such a long layoff due to a leg injury, you can't think Whiteside gets over 25 minutes tonight. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I won't be taking that chance. It takes away all appeal from Kelly Olynyk Bam Adebayo, who were already subpar options. Devin Booker is expected to return against the Grizzlies Booker has been out for a while, so I'm looking at him similarly to Hassan Whiteside. He likely won't be over 30 minutes, and you don't want anyone against the Grizzlies anyway. Stick to Memphis here, who will be playing up in pace. Chandler Parsons will rest against the Suns Parsons has played each of the last 2 minutes, but he doesn't really eat into anyone else. James Ennis and Dillon Brooks will both see over 25 minutes and are in play against a fast Suns team. Tyreke Evans is also locked into 35+ minutes and will dominate this game. What We're Waiting to Know Aaron Gordon is questionable to play against the Heat Gordon is a big piece of this offense and even more so with Nikola Vucevic out. If Gordon is out, he'll eat away 15-20 from a combined Biyombo and Payne. Biyombo is still in play if Gordon plays, but isn't nearly as elite. The Heat are a below average team and the Magic will keep this close no matter what. Biyombo is a guy I have a lot of interest in both cash games and tournaments.

Point guard Jeff Teague FD - $6500 DK - $6000 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 33.07 DK - 33.72 Merry Christmas! After a day void of NBA and full of NFL, we get 5 very solid games to dissect. With 4 of the 5 games sitting over a 210 O/U total and all of them with a -5 spread or less, every game is squarely in play. We'll kick it off with one of the more boring games in the T-Wolves @ Lakers. A short-handed Lakers squad is going to struggle here and Jeff Teague is finally showing some of the consistency that we've come to know and love with him. He's been getting the heavy Tom Thibodeau minutes for a while now, but has bounced around from being bad to injured. He's now getting utilized properly as a guy who can do it all from the guard spot. He's bounced around form 20-40, but sits around that 30 mark as a season baseline. The match-up with the Lakers on paper is useless as Lonzo Ball will miss the game. The Lakers are going to be moving pieces all over the place and the worst defender of all will be on Teague over Wiggins/Butler. Teague is extremely safe for 25 fantasy points with the upside for much more. He's a tough guy to trust this year, but it'll be tough for him to flop here. He's my favorite point per dollar PG on the slate and a guy I'll have everywhere. John Wall FD - $8500 DK - $8000 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 41.45 DK - 41.52 John Wall at $8k? After seeing 30+ minutes in 3 straight close games? Yes, please. This match-up is going to be a fun one as both of these teams are true contenders in the East behind Lebron. They have a long history and John Wall has done a lot of damage to the Celtics. They now sport Kyrie Irving at PG, who's a horrible defender. Brad Stevens has worked his magic with this defense, but Kyrie still struggles a bit and has no chance of staying with John Wall to the rim. Once he gets there, it'll be the...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Chris Paul is out and Clint Capela is "highly doubtful" against the Clippers Chris Paul has missed most of this season, so we know what to expect. James Harden is going to take over as the primary ball-handler and Eric Gordon will slide in and try to fill the scoring hole. Damian Lillard has been ruled out against the Nuggets This is obviously huge news and a lot of different guys will benefit. Shabazz Napier will pick up the most minutes and should end up around 35. He's active when on the court and a near lock to hit value. C.J. McCollum will pick up the most usage and has an enormous amount of value in all formats. I'll likely have 100% of both of those guys. Aminu, Turner, and Connaughton will also pick up some traction and are great options in tournaments. Aminu can be played in cash games as well due to the scarcity at PF. The Nuggets are a bad defense and we will see 4 or 5 Blazers come through and hit value. Milos Teodosic has been ruled out against the Rockets Teodosic has played exactly 27 minutes in each of the last 3 games. I expect Austin Rivers to get to around 35 minutes, pushing him into play against a Rockets squad that's missing CP3. The rest will likely be split evenly between Evans, Thornwell, and Lou Williams. Williams is in play, but you can do better with the other 2. Goran Dragic has been ruled out against the Mavericks Dragic has been sidelined for the last 2 games, joining Whiteside and James Johnson. The Heat are extremely short-handed and the minutes have been a lot more concentrated. Tyler Johnson and Josh Richardson will both be over 35 minutes and are phenomenal plays in all formats. Ellington, Waiters, Olynyk, Mickey, and Adebayo are all very interesting as they will see around 30 minutes and are under-priced with the current usage their seeing. What We're Waiting to Know Dennis Schroder is questionable with an ankle injury He went through shootaround this morning, so you'd assume he plays, but it's far from a sure thing. Assuming he does play, I doubt he gets a full allotment of minutes...
