We've got you completely covered. What We Know Aaron Gordon is good to go After missing 2 games with an ankle injury, Aaron Gordon will return for a prime match-up against the Nets. He's definitely in play, but we have no real clue of how much how many minutes he gets. This game is probably the most attractive of the slate, so don't let this news get you off of anyone. With that being said, all of the starters on the Magic will see a few less shots. I'm not sure it matters, though, with a 229 over/under on tap. Myles Turner has been ruled out against the Timberwolves Turner has already missed 2 games and it's looking like he's starting off the season with a relatively serious injury. Domantas Sabonis has seen the biggest impact and saw 30 minutes and a double-double last game. The T-Wolves have a solid interior and I have absolutely no interest in any Pacers big. Elfrid Payton has been ruled out with a hamstring injury Elfrid will Join Turner on the early season injury list and sit out again against the Nets. He was injured against the same team just 4 days ago. D.J. Augustin played well in his absence, but his price is now up and he saw just 26 minutes. You'll want to look towards the other 4 starters in both cash games and tournaments in a fast-paced affair with Brooklyn. P.S I know it's Derrick Rose face. I can't figure it out. Deal with it 🙂 Derrick Rose is out for the next 2 games With J.R. Smith also questionable, things could turn ugly in the Cavs backcourt. First, I think LeBron sees close to 40 minutes. They got beat by Orlando last game and he will shut the door early. Iman Shumpert is the only other guard I have interest in, as Calderon and Osman will take 15 minutes each, but aren't worth anything by themselves. Milos Teodosic has been ruled out indefinitely Here's a quote from Patrick Beverley on Milos Tediosic - “It forces everyone else to make that extra pass, make that extra play for your next teammate. I mean, it’s no secret about it: He’s the best playmaker we have on the team. He’s a pass-first...

DFS NBA Podcast for Tuesday 10/24/17 - FanDuel and DraftKings DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at a six-game slate of NBA action. They start by talking about the clear corrections in FanDuel pricing this season which is effecting spot starters like D.J. Augustin and players off to hot starts. There's still value to be had but they've clearly sped up the process on price-correcting. They take a look at each game on the slate and the DFS implications throughout. Highlights include slow starters like Jrue Holiday and Tim Hardaway coming in as values, the new pace Clippers without Chris Paul and whether the Magic guys are too expensive even against the Nets.

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates - 10/23/17 Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA optimizer, our NFL Optimizer, and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA or NFL? Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. What We Know Nicolas Batum, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Kawhi Leonard, Chris Paul, Markieff Morris, and Seth CUrry will all remain out These are guys who have already missed some games and will remain out tonight. We know, for the most part, the fantasy implications that come along. Hassan Whiteside has been ruled out with a knee bone bruise Whiteside has supposedly been laboring his knee quite a bit over the last few days and there was a lot of speculation early that he would miss this one and it was spot on. He missed last game and we saw 3 guys get a big minutes boost. Kelly Olynyk and James Johnson both saw just under 30 minutes and played well. They saw so little minutes because the Pacers were missing Myles Turner, so there was almost a mutual agreement to go small. They should see bigger minutes against a Hawks squad who kind of have a center. Josh Richardson also saw 37 minutes and he seems to get slept on as a whole. All 3 guys are in play, as well as Dragic and Waiters. Take your pick. Eric Bledsoe was sent home from practice and will not play against the Kings The Suns and Bulls should play a 7-game series in the middle of the ocean with neither the winner or loser returning. On a serious note, it's disconcerting to see a team fall apart so quickly. Eric Bledsoe tweeted on Sunday that he wanted out of Phoenix and was then sent home this morning at shootaround. He's been held out at least 1 game and I'm not sure he sees the court as a Sun again. Folks, this is Devin Booker time. Against the fast-paced Kings, he will shoot over 20 times and is a bear kick for 30 real life points. Tyler Ulis could also see an uptick in minutes and he provided quite the spark in 2016. P.S. Devin Booker is going to shoot a lot. Dennis Schroder and Ersan Ilyasova Ilyasova are out against the Heat I guess this one could go two ways. If the Heat play James Johnson at the 5 and force Dewayne Dedmon out of the game, it may be a small ball affair all night....
