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...

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...

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...

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 been ruled out against the Hornets Bazemore has played a lot of minutes for the Hawks, though he still doesn't compare to the impact Paul Millsap has on the offense. Taurean Prince will pick up most of the Bazemore minutes and he has been playing well as of late. Ilyasova is locked in for 34 minutes without Millsap and he is a great play in all formats. Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari have been ruled out against the Rockets Chandler and Gallo will both miss at least 1 more game and we will continue to target the same players. Will Barton, Gary Harris, and Juancho Hernangomez will all benefit and make for pretty interesting plays against the Rockets. Jokic is also a great play but not for the same reason. What we're waiting to know Jahlil Okafor is questionable to play Okafor did travel with the team, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him play. The Magic are a pretty weak interior and Okafor does have some upside if he plays. Saric and Holmes will both pick up extra minutes of Okafor is out. The "Every Lineup" Guys James Harden Harden may be very expensive tonight, but he is cheaper than Westbrook. Harden played this same Nuggets team last game and finished with a huge triple-double. While we don't expect another performance that great, I do think he gets over 65 tonight. The Nuggets don't have anyone to cover Harden and will do the same thing as last game, which is throwing a bunch of different guys on him until they get 3 fouls. Harden is extremely safe and still holds upside at his price. Ersan Ilyasova Ilyasova will get a huge uptick in minutes and performance with Millsap out, who is a huge usage-hog in this offense. you can safely project Ilyasova for at least 34 minutes and 25 fantasy points. The Hornets are...

We've got you completely covered. The last player at each position is the top play in the early slate.  Point Guard Tyler Ulis FD - $6000 DK - $6500 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 33.06 DK - 34.99 The Suns have made the executive decision to sit Eric Bledsoe out for the season, so this is the time for Tyler Ulis. Ulis has the reigns at PG and should continuously play at least 35 minutes. Ulis was extremely productive in the first game with Bledsoe out, playing 40 minutes and finishing with 36.5 fantasy points. Ulis has proven his ability to score over 1 FP per minute on a consistent basis. This match-up with the Pistons is a great one, as Reggie Jackson is nowhere near the defender he was expected to be. Ulis is basically a lock in cash games as I think he has a floor around 30 with a ceiling over 50 FP. His price has risen to over $6k on both sites as he is now the starting PG on one of the faster paced NBA teams in the league. Ulis can be counted on in all formats. Ricky Rubio FD - $7500 DK - $7500 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 38.22 DK - 40.51 Ricky Rubio has been on quite a tear lately, finishing with 30+ fantasy points in 12 straight games. He's also been over 40 fantasy points on 5 occasions in that time frame, proving his upside. The Pelicans are a very good match-up for Rubio, as they tend to play up in pace. Jrue Holiday is a fine defender, but he struggles when the pace is increased. This game is expected to be very close and rather high-scoring, sitting with a 208 over/under. While it's not the highest on the day, it's plenty enough points for Rubio to hit value. Thibs and the T-Wolves have a very weak bench, so they are forced to play the starters huge minutes. Rubio is a terrific option in both cash games and tournaments. He has a floor around 25 fantasy points and a ceiling over 50. Jeremy Lin FD - $6000 DK - $5900 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 28 DK - 30.19 We have a pretty interesting 2...
