Here's what James wrote about this matchup the other day, and given that Draymond Green wasn't suspended, it still holds true. Golden State Warriors at Oklahoma City Thunder Analysis The hay-makers in this series, my god. Westbrook and Durant responded to a game 2 drubbing by pitching simultaneous perfect games. 20-34 from the field, and 21-23 from the line. I'm still speechless. Is it possible that the Thunder had the highest ceiling of any team all along, because they have two guys that can put up games like this, and not just one? Now, as you can probably guess by now, this actually doesn't change our projections a whole heck of a lot. Minutes go haywire in blowouts, and the guys we figured would be good on a per-minute basis pretty much were. As for the worry about future blowouts, I suspect things will regulate somewhat and we'll get a high-speed thriller instead of a lopsided blowout. I don't blame you if you just want to grab as many pieces from this game as you can, since they're still pretty reasonably priced. Top Plays Stephen Curry - FD 9900 DK 10700 Opponent - OKC FD Proj. Pts - 52.41 DK Proj. Pts - 56.83 Curry's final line looked generally crappy in game 3, but on a per-minute basis it wasn't a whole lot worse than what he'd been doing earlier in the series. If you think he's going to go 2 days listening to hot takes about how he might be the third best player in this series! then you're sorely mistaken. He's still very reasonably priced and should be a favorite to put up 5x+ points per dollar in this game. Klay Thompson - FD 7400 DK 7900 Opponent - OKC FD Proj. Pts - 37.31 DK Proj. Pts - 41.42 The minutes are headed in the wrong direction here, but I think we saw what Golden State wants to do with Klay in game 1. 40+...

Daily Fantasy Basketball Injury News and Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/22/16 Welcome to the daily updates and injury news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it! Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock tonight. By the way - we keep our projection system updated with all of the changes as they occur throughout the day right up until lineup lock. Every day. If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below! START YOUR FREE TRIAL! What We Know Brook Lopez is back Just a one game absence, and this kills Willie Reed and Thomas Robinson's value. I do like him quite a bit against the Hornets tonight, but am not sure that price point will fit into optimal lineups given the limited options of a short slate. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson returns from injury!! Right, it's a short slate. But really! This is news! Hollis-Jefferson will cut directly into Wayne Ellington's minutes, and could take some minutes from Bojan Bogdanovic as well. I don't expect him to play huge minutes tonight fresh off of returning from a fractured foot, but I'll be watching his minutes closely to see how it knocks other dominoes in the Nets' rotation. I still like Bojan today, but am cautious on other Nets. Larry Nance Jr. is out The last time he sat, Julius Randle played 31 minutes. He could play more than that tonight, and it's a reasonable match-up with Memphis' now not too tough front court. We've adjusted the projections up accordingly. UPDATE: With Marvin Williams out I think Frank Kaminsky is a near must start running with the Varsity.   What We're Waiting to Know James Harden is listed as a game time decision And if he misses this one, that obviously topples some huge dominoes in the Houston/OKC game. It introduces blowout risk into the game, and it also opens up a TON of shots for everyone else. It would mean a lot for Patrick Beverley and Jason Terry in particular, who would have the ball in there hands a lot more. Watch this one closely. Marvin Williams's status Marvin Williams limped off the court in last night's game with the Spurs, and is listed as questionable for tonight's tilt with the Nets. He said that he "should be able to play" last night, but in a game that the Hornets should be able to win without him, I'll be watching this one...
