He's already been announced out for the next 2 games and it should allow Yogi Ferrel to get over 30 minutes again. He's been well over 30 minutes in 3 of his last 4 games and put up FP totals of 31, 22, and 23. He's still priced under $5k and has to be considered in all formats. Point Guard is MUCH thinner than most nights and Ferrell should be popular because of it. The Warriors are without Curry, so it'll be a combo of Livingston, Cook, and McCaw that draw time on Yogi. They've ranked 8th worst against PG's since Curry went out, though the sample size is admittedly small. Ferrell is a guy I'll likely have across the board as a top value option on a small slate. Reggie Jackson FD - $5700 DK - $5800 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 27.29 DK - 28.42 Hold the phone! The NBA has finally given us a solid Thursday slate. After works of working with some very ugly Thursday schedules, we have a 5-gamer with some intriguing games. We'll kick it off with Reggie Jackson and the Pistons, who will go on the road and face-off with the Atlanta Hawks. Dennis Schroder is one of the worst individual defenders in the league and the Hawks are lacking paint defense with Dedmon out. Jackson has definitely been a bit inconsistent with minutes, but I have a strong suspicion he sees over 32 tonight. When given those minutes, he is extremely consistent and one of the most effective ECF PG's. He will be in there down the stretch and this game is expected to stay close with a -3.5 spread and 209 total. His price is below $6k on both sites and only needs to get you 25-30 in all formats. Jackson is never easy to roster, but this is a strong match-up and I haven't rostered Jackson all season long. This will be the first time and I'll have close to 100%. Lonzo Ball FD - $7500 DK...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier have been ruled out against the Clippers Both of these guys are key cogs in this offense, a their absence will be felt in a huge way. Fournier has already been out and a few games and we have a taste of what to expect there. Aaron Afflalo, who's questionable, has been picking up a lot of them. If he's out, expect Wes Iwundu, Mario Hezonja, and D.J. Augustin to all benefit. As for the minutes with Gordon, most will go to Hezonja and Speights. Now for the juicy part. Jonathan Simmons, Nikola Vucevic, and Elfrid Payton will all see upticks in usage and are tremendous plays. Vucevic and Simmons are two of my favorite plays in all formats across the entire slate. Al Horford will be rested against the Nuggets This is pretty cut and dry. Aron Baynes will pick up most of the minutes and becomes one of the top value options on the day. Daniel Theis and Jayson Tatum may get a few, but don't jump up enough to gain relevancy for this reason alone. The match-up with the Nuggets Is a solid one and even better if Nikola Jokic is ruled out. More on that later. Andre Roberson has been ruled out for the Thunder Roberson is a pretty irrelevant DFS player, but he gets a lot of minutes. Alex Abrines will likely get the start and could see 30 minutes if he's lucky. The rest will go to Terrance Ferguson and Josh Huestis, who ended around 12-14 each last game. It also helps Victor Oladipo, who will now force the Thunder to cross-cross defensive match-ups. This is a game you can stack and I'll personally have a lot more than the field with almost every guy. What We're Waiting to Know Anthony Davis "feels good and should be able to go", but ultimately remains questionable Whatever that means. AD is obviously a pain to deal with and his status updates are more of the same. It looks like he'll give it a go and my guess is he just sees slightly limited minutes. He has a phenomenal match-up, but I'm not comfortable playing him in this situation. I'd rather go Cousins...

Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $11200 DK - $11200 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 54.25 DK - 57.55 After a very interesting 7-game Tuesday slate that brought plenty of fireworks, we have a 9-gamer on our hands with plenty to dissect. We'll start it off in Indiana with a guy who starts this article more than anyone; Russell Westbrook. Westbrook and the Thunder will coke into Indiana as 2 point underdogs and be forced to stop the animal that is Victor Oladipo. Westbrook is the guy he's learned most of this brilliance from and I'm sure he's ready to give him a friendly reminder of just that. Both of these teams like to run the court and a 211 O/U is a tad above average. Darren Collison lines up on paper to match-up with Westbrook, but we all know him and 'Dipo will be going at it when it matters. He has a 50 point floor like snowy nights and a ceiling that's uncomfortable to note. He's not a must with the inflated price tag, but there will be ways to get there on a big slate with looming injury implications. Westbrook is the top raw play in all formats at point guard.  Rajon Rondo FD - $5800 DK - $6300 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 32.34 DK - 32.8 Rajon Rondo has been a stud for the Pelicans and even better when Anthony Davis has been out. He's currently questionable tonight and Rondo does become a much better play if AD is ruled out.His price is still friendly on both sites and he's been locked into cash game value night in and night out. This match-up with the Bucks is average for most point guards, but Rondo doesn't rely on scoring. The Bucks struggle with rebounding and Rondo will have the opportunity for plenty of peripherals. The game is expected to be close and rather high-scoring, though Vegas hasn't opened up a line on this one yet. That has a lot to do with the status of Anthony Davis. Expect an o/u around 210 with a 4 or 5 line if Davis is out. Rondo has also seen 37 and 42 minutes over the last 2,...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kawhi Leonard will return with a minutes limit We finally get to see one of the best players in the league back in action. It'll change the entire landscape of the Spurs squad and every team they face. Tonight, however, he won't see a full allotment of minutes. You can ignore Kawhi and Rudy Gay will also see a few less minutes. The Mavericks are another slow team and this isn't a game you really need to focus on. LMA will see a lesser usage as well, but maybe not right away. John Wall is questionable to return from injury With an uber-friendly match-up against the Nets, this is important. If Wall misses, Beal is one of the top plays on the slate in both cash games and tournaments. Otto Porter, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Otto Porter are all in similar boats. If Wall plays, it'll likely be in limited minutes. Everyone is still in play, but not to the same degree. I'll have exposure either way, but will have 100% of Beal and Morris if Wall is out. What We're Waiting to Know Joel Embiid, Robert Covington, and T.J. McConnell are all questionable to play against the Timberwolves This is a lot to decipher. We're pretty used to Embiid sitting and we know what to do. Richaun Holmes will get 20-22 minutes and the rest will go to Redick, Saric, Booker, and Simmons. If Covington is out, we'll start seeing guys get their minutes pressed. TLC, Saric, and Booker would all get extended minutes and become elite plays against a T-Wolves team that is average at best defensively. Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson are questionable against the Hawks Love was a late scratch last time out and burned a lot of rosters to the ground. As for Thompson, he hasn't played in forever. If Love doesn't play and Thompson does, I'll stay away. He will probably get 20 minutes and take 5 or 7 away from Jeff Green. If both Love and Thompson miss, Green should be in line for another 30+ minutes. The Hawks play small and he can fit into this game quite nicely. So can Love, though, so he should be trying to play. Every Lineup Guys...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kyrie Irving has been ruled out against the Bulls The Celtics threw a wrench into things here with Kyrie. Al Horford is also questionable, which makes it a lot more of a hassle. I'd Horford plays, he'll be the number 1 option and a tremendous option against the Bulls. Marcus Smart, Terry Rozier, and Jaylen Brown will also benefit with minutes and usage. Kyrie hasn't been a ball hog this year, but still holds a 22%+ usage. The Bulls are weak against the perimeter and I'm a fan of all these guys. Rozier and Smart are the 2 guys I currently have in every single lineup. Marcus Morris has been ruled out with knee discofort Marcus Morris is still dealing with some knee pain from the injury that held him out a few weeks ago. He'll take the night off against the Bulls and most of his minutes will fall to Baynes and Theis. Baynes started yesterday and played 29 minutes, but he's still strictly a tournament play. Nobody would be surprised if he saw 16-20 here and the rest were spread between Horford, Tatum, and Theis. The Bulls are an average defense and this news probably shouldn't put you on anyone you weren't otherwise paying attention to. Nicolas Batum will sit and Jeremy Lamb will play Both Lamb and Batum missed last game, so I'm not too enthused with anyone here. Lamb would be nice, but I'm not big on a guy off an injury. Kemba may see some extra usage, but I don't know if his upside is any different. If he gets hot, nobody is getting the ball anyway. Howard could also see some extra usage, but don't let this news put you on anyone. What We're Waiting to Know Anthony Davis is questionable to play against the Rockets Davis ended up getting stretched out for 40 minutes last night. It had a lot to do with Cousins being in foul trouble, but I still don't get it. At all. He should sit tonight and we know what it means if he does. Jrue Holiday and DeMarcus COusins get very nice bumps and become 2 elite plays in all formats. Rajon Rondo, E'Twaun Moore, and Darius Miller will...
