What We Know Justin Holiday has ben ruled out for the birth of his child Holiday did a good thing in giving the team full notice ahead of this game, allowing changes to be made well ahead of time. Kris Dunn will draw the start and should draw at least 34+ minutes. He's firmly in play and we'll get to him later. Jerian Grant and Denzel Valentine will also get a small boost, but I wouldn't say either are close to the play Dunn is. Holiday is a big shot taker, so everyone will see a slight usage bump when on the floor. What We're Waiting to Know Carmelo Anthony and Steven Adams are both questionable against the Bulls Melo is looking like he has a better shot to play than Adams, but both are closer to 0% than 100%. Let's assume both play. Russell Westbrook is a fine play, but nobody else really warrants much attention. Now let's say both are out. Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Jerami Grant, and Dakari Johnson are all interesting. Westbrook and George would see huge usage bumps against a porous Bulls defense. Johnson and Grant aren't as good of plays, but both are cheap and will see increased minutes. If just Adams misses and Melo plays, Westbrook and Dakari benefit most. George can still be played. Mike Conley is questionable to play with an achilles injury Conley is obviously 1b on this team behind Gasol, so his absence leaves a huge gap. If Conley happens to be out, Chalmers, Evans, and Gasol will all benefit. Against a fast-paced Pacers squad, they would all be in play in all formats. The Grizzlies are a team I'll be all over if Conley is out. Every Lineup Guys Kris Dunn FD - $6100 DK - $4900 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 33.06 DK - 31.53 Justin Holiday has already been ruled out, giving Kris Dunn the start and a presumed 34+ minutes. We touched on him in the main picks article and everything still stands true. Dunn is a legitimate guard who can score, pass, and play defense. He will be a steal leader when given the minutes and if you look at his box score, his talent is...

Point guard Russell Westbrook FD - $10300 DK - $10800 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 57.92 DK - 61.64 We obviously aren't seeing the 60+ FP on a nightly basis like last year, but his price doesn't warrant it. As the 5th most expensive option on the slate, you can come in with a different set of expectations. Don't get me wrong, he's still going to have quite a few 60+ FP games. They just won't be the majority. Tonight, the match-up with the Bulls is optimal. On the season, they have ranked dead last against opposing PG's with 53.3 FP allowed per game, sitting 3 full points higher than the 2nd worst team. The Bulls play very slow, so it's not the PACE. Jerian Grant is an inept defender and he doesn't have much help on the inside. On the Thunder side, Carmelo Anthony and Steven Adams are both questionable. If either misses, Westbrook will see a bump to his already high 31.5% usage. Under $11k on both sites, Russell Westbrook is a fantastic play in all formats. Dennis Schroder FD - $7000 DK - $6800 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 33.8 DK - 35.21 Out of everyone in the entire NBA, Dennis Schroder ranks 10th in usage with 30%. He's been more involved in the offense than guys like Kyrie, LeBron, and Lillard. For the sake of all things right, I hope that changes, but until it does, Schroder is a guy we need to pay a lot of attention to. There's nobody really left on this Hawks squad that wants shots to bad and Schroder is willing to shoot 20+ times with no issues. The Kings sport Hill and Fox at PG, who are 2 very different defenders. Neither are great, but Fox is much, much worse. He's been getting more minutes than Hill and Schroder should have no issue putting number up. He's been bad in the last 2 games, but expect a bounce back here at home. He's fine in all contests at $7k and should have no problem getting to value assuming the game stays close. Mario Chalmers FD - $3600 DK - $3800 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 11.75...

We've got you completely covered. What We Know Kyrie Irving is expected to play with a facemask for a couple weeks He's looking like a full-go, but keep an eye on Twitter as 7:30 nears. Shane Larkin will lose almost all of his minutes and he can be full ignored. Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier will also lose a few, but are still interesting against the Nets. Irving is a great play in all formats tonight if he is ruled in. D'Angelo Russell will not play against the Celtics with a knee contusion Russell is looking to lose a few games, which is going to cause a domino effect on this Nets squad. Minutes-wise, I see Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris LeVert benefiting most. I like Dinwiddie more tonight in a friendlier match-up. Production-wise, DeMarre Carroll and RHJ should get some extra shots. The Celtics aren't a bad defensive team, but these guys will all have a WAY HIGHER usage rate. Norman Powell is out against the Rockets Normal Powell isn't a huge fantasy factor, but he plays a bunch of minutes for the Raptors. OG Anunboy and Delon Wright are both already getting minutes and both will pick up 5-10 more. Anunboy is my favorite of the bunch, at a bit cheaper and presumably matching up with Harden. You can also lock in 35+ for DeRozan. Every Lineup Guys OG Anunoby FD - $3200 DK - $3000Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 7.04 DK - 6.68 Nobody on this 3-game slate is a "must play", but OG Anunboy is coming in as the highest point per dollar projection in the optimizer. With Normal Powell ruled out, his 15 minutes a night should turn into at least 24+. At minimum price on both sites, he only needs to grab you about 20 to surpass value in cash games. He's proven himself as a guy who creates when on the court and doesn't just sit uselessly in the corner. If you want to pay up for the stars of the slate, there's a pretty easy way to do it with OG.

Point guard Damian Lillard FD - $9600 DK - $9100 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 46.82 DK - 48.49 We'll start it off in Portland, where we love to target Damian Lillard. While he's been great at both home and away this season, he's historically a much better play at home. He's been consistent on the year and sees a very solid match-up against a weak Nuggets perimeter that could be missing their best defender in Gary Harris. Jamal Murry and Will Barton are minor worries on defense and D-Lill should have his way on the outside and in the paint. His price is definitely getting up there, but it makes sense. He's putting up 40 FP+ on a consistent basis with a common ceiling around 65-70 on  good night. Nobody is a must at point guard when there's all these options, but Lillard is certainly our favorite way to pay up at the position. Shelvin Mack FD - $4300 DK - $3700 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 23.83 DK - 24.27 Shaun Livingston FD - $3100 DK - $3500 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 10.11 DK - 9.94 Both of these starting point guards are currently questionable, so we may have some value to take advantage of in the tri-state area. With the Magic, Elfrid Payton is dealing with a nagging hamstring that held him out of last game and limited him to 16 minutes against the Suns. With this game already over for the most part, I don't see a reason to play Payton, though he very well could. Shelvin Mack is the main man to benefit, seeing 24 and 31 minutes in the last 2 games. The Warriors play super fast and even if it does blowout, Mack will hit value at close to minimum price. On the Warriors side, I would argue Shaun Livingston is a bit more volatile, but if Steph Curry does miss, you can lock in at least 25 minutes with the upside for 35. The Magic have nobody to cover him and the production will flow when he's on the floor. We really don't know anything about these guys until we hear about the starters, so stay tuned...

Point guard Damian Lillard FD - $10000 DK - $9400 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 45.74 DK - 47.46 We had a quality 5-game Thursday slate on our hands last night and it ended up working out pretty well. With that being said, it feels like we haven't had a normal slate in 4 or 5 days. Fortunately, we've made it to Friday and a nice 7-gamer. It's still not the 12-15  games that we see on a lot of Fridays, but it's better than 3 or 5 like we're getting used to. This is also 7 games that are packed full of intrigue. We start it off with Damian Lillard, who has the iconic Nets match-up. We know how abysmal the Nets are at every form of defense. Looking at the Nets schedule, they haven't played more than 1 or 2 good point guards, yet they're still ranked in the bottom 10 in terms of FPPG allowed.  They also play insanely fast. A 109 PACE is something that almost makes no sense. For comparative purposes, the Suns are 2nd with 105 and a normal "fast" team is around 102-103. Lillard is going to get and do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Spencer Dinwiddie is an atrocious defender and the only real hope the Nets have is to put Rondae Hollis-Jefferson on him. It won't stop anything, but surely has a better chance than Spencer Dinwiddie or Joe Harris. Now with that being said, the only way Lillard sees a switch is if he's going crazy. In that case, it won't really matter. We're about to touch on Westbrook as well and there's definitely an argument to be made for both. I personally like Lillard a bit more and wouldn't be surprised to see him outscore every PG. At home against the Nets. It couldn't be better. Russell Westbrook FD - $10800 DK - $10800 Opponent - LAC Proj Pts FD - 49.5 DK - 53.08 Point guard is typically one of the deeper positions on the board, but it's not necessarily the case tonight. We have 4 or 5 guys to choose from, but they're all expensive. Outside of Jerian Grant, this is a position you'll want to...
