Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/2/17 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.

What We Know LaMarcus Aldridge has been ruled out vs the 76ers With Gasol already out indefinitely, there are a lot of minutes up for grabs. David Lee is a great play, and we will touch on him in a bit. Dewayne Dedmon and Kawhi could also see a few extra minutes, and Kawhi is a guy who will be very popular tonight. I am on the train and willing to play Leonard in cash as well as tournaments. Draymond Green is out vs the Clippers Dray messed up his shoulder last night, and I expect him to only miss 1 game here. This does open up a spot where we didn't have much interest before. With Pachulia already out, Looney and McAdoo should see most the minutes but are nothing more than tournament plays for me. I see Kevin Durant getting the biggest bump here, as they will now need help rebounding and moving the ball. Durant should be able to step in and handle most of Green's responsibilities. I'm a fan of Durant in all formats. Joel Embiid & Robert Covington are out vs the Spurs Both of these guys play big minutes and take a lot of shots. They also both missed last game, so we have a pretty good gauge of who will pick up minutes. Jahlil Okafor, Nerlens Noel, Dario Saric and Ersan Ilyasova all saw generous minutes, and are in play tonight. While the match up with the Spurs isn't great, this is a 4 game slate and we have to take what we can get. Noel is my favorite, as I think he matches up with David Lee very well. Still out - What We're Waiting to Know Thabo Sefolosha is questionable vs the Rockets Thabo may not be a very fantasy relevant player, but he does matter in the grand scheme. If he misses, Tim Hardaway Jr. will get the start and be a very good play...
DFSR’s Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Thursday 2/2/17
DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Thursday 2/2/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at a four game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. They go game-by-game discussing the DFS implications of each on a night with a lot of blowout risk. Every game has a -8 or higher line heading in and that definitely causes some concern with players not seeing fourth quarters if the games are getting out of hand. They talk about James Harden and how he’s likely the chalk play going in. There’s also discussion of the Wizards and how the team’s commitment to playing starters major minutes has led to price increases across the board. All that and more for your NBA DFS needs.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $6100 DK - $5700 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 30.74 DK - 33.51 We enter into this 4 game slate with a very few ways to go at point guard. Russell is the guy we will have most exposure to, as the match up is right and the PACE should be just high. Russell had a huge game last time out vs the Nuggets, and I would expect a similar performance tonight. John Wall is a good man to man defender, but struggles in transition and gives up a lot open 3 pointers. Russell is generally more of a tournament option, but i'm willing to use him in cash games on this slate, where there is an overall lack of floor at PG. Though Russell isn't completely safe, he is as good as it will get at PG. John Wall is a tad bit overpriced tonight, and I planned on having no exposure. what leaves me with a lot of these 3 guys we will talk about. Russell is way under priced, and I will have exposure across the entire industry. Dennis Schroder FD - $6700 DK - $6400 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 31.25 DK - 34.03 We ended up with an Atlanta Hawk at every position, so you will have to pick your spots. Schroder does have one of the worst match up son the team, but is still in a very good spot. Sure, Beverley is a wonderful defender, but it doesn't matter when the other PG has the ball an extra 20 times and take an extra 8 shots. That makes up for the quality defense, and I wouldn't worry about Schroder hurting you too badly. I look at him as an extremely safe option, and a way to go in cash games. He is obviously viable in tournaments as well, sitting in the mid $6k's on both sites. I look for Schroder to be about 30% owned, which is right where he should be. There is a merit in fading Schroder, but you better be stacking up some other Hawks. A few of these guys are going to have big games. Austin Rivers FD - $5800 DK - $6400 Opponent - GS...

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 Nikola Jokic & Will Barton will not play vs the Grizzlies Jokic will be replaced by Faried, who has been great in his absence. Jusuf Nurkic could also play some minutes, but he is a tournament flier at best. Gary Harris will benefit most from Barton, and he makes a fantastic cash game play. The Grizzlies are a tough match up, but the price is low, and he has been consistent. Demar Derozan will remain out Norman Powell and Kyle Lowry. these 2 guys have both been great with Derozan out, and we will continue to target them both. The Celtics play fast, so this game should remain close and be pretty high scoring. Both Lowry and Powell are great plays across the board. Joel Embiid & Robert Covington are out vs the 76ers This is going to be a pretty fun spot to target, and we could see a few guys have big games. Jahlil Okafor, Nerlens Noel, Ersan Ilyasova and Dario Saric are all guys that are viable plays tonight. Ilyasova and Noel are my favorite, as I see them matching up best with the Mavericks. the guards could also see a few extra shots, but nothing that moves the needle too much. Derrick Rose is out vs the Nets D-Rose will sit out at least another game, and this will give us a few plays to consider. Brandon Jennings will get the obvious bump as backup PG, and will be someone we target a ton. Courtney Lee and Carmelo Anthony will also pick up some more shots, and can be played everywhere. Still out - Kevin Love, Avery Bradley, Enes Kanter, Derrick Favors What We're Waiting to Know Wilson Chandler & Emmanuel Mudiay are questionable I expect Mudiay to sit and Chandler to play, but it could go all different ways. If that does happen, Jameer Nelson is the guy who benefits most. If Chandler miss, Danilo Gallinari and...
