Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/22/17 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 Paul Millsap and Kent Bazemore have already been ruled out Millsap and Baze have already been announced out for a while now, so this is obviously no surprise. Ersan Ilyasova will benefit most and makes for a nice cash game play. Taurean Prince and Thabo Sefolosha will also pick up some minutes and make sense in cash games. Danilo Gallinari has been ruled out and Wilson Chandler is expected to play This could get a bit confusing and unpredictable. Chandler plays more of the 4 and Gallo plays more of the 3, so we will look more towards the guards tonight. Will Barton and Gary Harris are both fantastic plays and they will be popular. The Cavs are a good defense, but the Nuggets will need those guys for scoring. Chandler could also be an interesting tournament option if they announce he will play full minutes. Robin Lopez has been suspended for tonight's game This was expected after he tried to punch Serge Ibaka in the face last night. The Pistons are a big team and Andre Drummond will definitely benefit. Christiano Felicio could pick up some run. Rondo and Butler will also have to grab a few more rebounds, which heightens his upside. What we're waiting to know Jahlil Okafor is a GTD against the Thunder Okafor isn't a guy I'm going to target either way tonight, but I definitely care about this news. If Okafor is out, Richaun Holmes will be forced into huge minutes in a great match-up. Holmes has been an amazing FP per minute producer lately and makes for a tremendous option tonight. Dario Saric will also see a guaranteed 35 minutes. The "Every Lineup" Guys Rajon Rondo Rondo is playing the best basketball of his season, finishing with 40 fantasy points just last night. With Wade out for the season and Butler being the only other punch, I expect Hoiberg to throw Rondo out for at...

DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Wednesday 3/22/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie takes to a solo pod to break down an eight game Wednesday slate in the NBA. The first question to ask is whether we should pay all the way up for Russell Westbrook after his disappointing games against the Warriors on Monday. OKC is big favorites against the Sixers in a game that could turn into a blowout early. Other games to focus on include the Hawks and Wizards. Atlanta is still without Paul Millsap and Kent Bazemore, leaving plenty of minutes for guys like Tim Hardaway, Ersan Ilyasova, Thabo Sefolosha and Taurean Prince. John Wall also makes for an excellent DraftKings play. There’s all of this an more as DFSR breaks down every game. Then Doug jumps on with NoHalftime’s Bruce Elliot to discuss their app and how it provides a great way to get away from salary-cap contests. Subscribe to this podcast on...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $13000 DK - $13100 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 65.73 DK - 69.84 Yep, another day where we have to weigh whether or not Westbrook is worth it. He comes in at $13k+ on both sites, which is as high as he's been over the season. Westbrook had one of hs worst games of the season against the Warriors, finishing with 34 fantasy points in only 27 minutes. The Warriors absolutely blew them away and the Warriors had no chance entering the 2nd half. He also suffered a blister, though Billy Donovan has already said there is no risking of him missing this game. Looking past that 1 fluke of a game, Westbrook has 60+ in 10 of the last 14 and 70+ in 2 of the last 8. The 76'ers are a fantastic match-up for Westbrook, who is far stronger and faster than T.J. McConnell and Sergio Rodriguez. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot may get a few minutes on Westbrook as well and will struggle quite a bit. This Thunder team hasn't been playing well and I certainly expect the game to stay close. Westbrook is definitely a guy you can play in all formats, though there is definitely merit to fading him in both. John Wall FD - $10000 DK - $9300 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 47.53 DK - 50.45 John Wall is definitely expensive, though nowhere near the same level as Russell Westbrook. He's $3k cheaper on both sites and it will definitely be hard to pay the extra $3k with Wall sitting here. Dennis Schroder is one of the absolute worst defenders in the league and has allowed nearly 54 FP per game to opposing PG's. Wall is going to be way too fast and shifty for Schroder, who has trouble moving laterally around on-ball screens. Gortat is one of the best screeners in the game and should be able to obliterate Schroder on a consistent basis. Wall will then switch onto the likes of Dwight Howard and Ersan Ilyasova, who obviously have no chance. Wall is going to have a very solid game tonight and I absolutely love him in cash games. Westbrook does have a lot more upside and it is a...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/21/17 Welcome to the daily updates and injury news article.

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.

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 Dion Waiters has been ruled out against the Suns Waiters missed last game and it resulted in Josh Richardson picking up the start and 33 minutes. Richardson is a good play once again tonight if Waiters is out. Wayne Ellington and Tyler Johnson will also pick up 5 or 6 minutes each. The Suns are a fast-paced team and a few of these Heat guys will hit value. Andre Iguodala has been ruled uot against the Mavericks Iggy was due to rest for a game or two as he's been playing big minutes recently. Matt Barnes will likely see at least 28 minutes and I love him in cash games. The Warriors play extremely fast and Barnes will have no problem hitting value if he sees the minutes. What we're waiting to know Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as questionable I do expect Giannis to play, though nothing official has been released today. Giannis is obviously a huge part of this offense and changes everything. If he plays, you can play him across the board. He has a fantastic match-up against the Blazers. If Giannis misses, Khris Middleton and Malcolm Brogdon becomes great plays. Middleton will shoot a ton and would be a lock in all of my lineups. Brogdon will see huge minutes either way and makes for a good option everywhere. Jeremy Lin is listed as doubtful to play Lin left last game after playing just 7 minutes and it looks like he's back to missing games. Spencer Dinwiddie will draw the strat and becomes a very interesting option in all formats. Brook Lopez could also see a few more shots as Lin was shooting the 2nd most on the team before going down. The "Every Lineup" Guys Jimmy Butler Jimmy Buckets has been playing well recently, finishing with 45 in each of the last 2 with Wade out. Butler is the only trusted guy on this offense and should be...

DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Tuesday 3/21/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the pod to discuss an eight game slate in the NBA for FanDuel and DraftKings. The obvious team to start targeting is the Detroit Pistons facing the woeful Brooklyn Nets. But can you trust their minutes? They discuss the mystery of Reggie Jackson’s minutes and whether he’s actually a safe play at $5,000 on FanDuel. Then there’s Andre Drummond, KCP, Morris and Tobias Harris in contention against the best DFS matchup on the board. They also break down whether Goran Dragic is chalk, over priced, both or neither against the Suns. He was a popular play last time and could be again tonight. James Johnson falls into the same category tonight without Dion Waiters. All of this and much more on an interesting night in the NBA. Subscribe to this podcast on...
