What We Know DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin have been ruled out for rest purposes This comes as a bit of a surprise here, though the Clippers are on a pretty tough 2nd half of a B2B. With both DeAndre and Griffin sitting, there are a few ways to look. Mo Speights is the only big man I have interest in and I would expect him to play around 25-30 minutes. Redick and Paul should also see a bunch more shots and will be needed to win this game. Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari have been ruled out against the Clippers These guys have both been hurt all season, so this is no surprise to see them out here. With Mike Miller being the only other SF on the active roster, the minutes will have to come from elsewhere. Will Barton and Juancho Hernangomez are the guys who get the biggest bump for me. Both are terrific plays in both cash games and tournaments. Jamal Murray could also get some run at the 2 if they go small and he can always get hot. Jokic is always great. You just have to weigh out his price. What we're waiting to know Kristaps Porzingis is officially doubtful against the Nets POrzingis found a way to get hurt again so it looks like he will miss at least 1 more game this season. Luckily, it's against the Nets, so we should be able to take advantage. Hernangomez is one of the top options n the slate and we will get to him later. Kyle O'Quinn and Lance Thomas could also pick up a few minutes but I don't have any interest outside of tournaments. Update: Kristaps is out The "Every Lineup" Guys Chris Paul CP3 is a guy who will need to step up in a huge way tonight. With DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin being ruled out, you can expect Paul to put the load on...

Point Guard Chris Paul FD - $9800 DK - $8800 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 46.93 DK - 49.27 Chris Paul and the Clips played the Bucks last night in what ended up being a very close game. They come right back tonight and face the Nuggets, who are a very similar team. Jameer Nelson and Jamal Murray will have the responsibility of covering Paul and they won't have much success. The Nuggets have ranked 24th in the league against PG's, allowing nearly 48 FP per game. Paul is still a bit under-owned in my opinion, as I think he is just as good of a DFS player as Stephen Curry, who is cheaper on both sites. Paul should be sitting around $10k on both sites and I absolutely love him on DK at just $8.8k. Paul should see around 35 minutes and hs been one of the most consistent players in the league this season when healthy. He looks to be at full health and the Clippers won't hesitate to push him for big minutes in a close game. With a floor of 40 and a ceiling of 65, I will have exposure everywhere. Derrick Rose FD - $6800 DK - $6700 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 33.89 DK - 35.85 Jeremy Lin FD - $5900 DK - $6000 Opponent - NY Proj Pts FD - 28.81 DK - 30.7 Lin and Rose are probably 2 of the last players anyone would of thought would be playing the way they are recently. They have both been absolutely tremendous, consistently hitting 30 with a few flashes of upside. They will face off with each other tonight in what figures to be a pretty high-scoring affair. Rose is a bit more expensive and it makes sense as he's ben a bit more consistent and has been seeing more minutes. For that reason, I prefer him in cash games. Lin on the other hand, is a guy I have a ton of tournament exposure to. He has a ton of upside and has been hitting cash game value in less than 30 minutes. He will continue to see more run and his price will slowly rise. Make sure to take advantage before his...

What We Know Nicolas Batum has been ruled out with a migraine Batum missed last game, which resulted in Jeremy Lamb being about 70% owned in cash games. He will be in a similar spot tonight and once again makes for a tremendous cash and tournament play. The Pacers are a weak match-up for shooting guards and Lamb should have another solid night. Kemba could also pick up a few extra shots. LaMarcus Aldridge has been cleared to play This definitely hurts David Lee and Pau Gasol a lot. Aldridge will likely see around 20 minutes tonight, but those minutes are extremely precious when all of these guys are fighting for so few. I will likely ignore this interior as a whole on this slate. What we're waiting to know Wesley Matthews is a GTD against the Wizards Matthews has been on and off the injury report a ton lately, so this is really no surprise. Seth Curry got a huge bump last time Wes was out, seeing over 35 minutes and taking a ton of shots. Manny Harris was also recalled from the D-League but I doubt he sees more than 10 minutes. The PG situation in San Antonio Dejounte Murray has been ruled out and Tony Parker is officially questionable. With such a good match-up against the Blazers, you have to take a long look at Patty Mills. If Parker sits, Mills is basically a must play in cash games. If Parker plays, I still think he's an interesting tournament option. Parker could very well see 15 minutes and hit the bench. The "Every Lineup" Guys Jeremy Lamb This one is pretty cut and dry. With Nicolas Batum out, Jeremy Lamb is an easy plug and play. He sees plenty of usage on the offense and is also not scared to run point guard for a possession or two while Kemba rests. The match-up is prime as Monta Ellis is one of the...

DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Wednesday 3/15/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie takes to solo NBA discussing a full Wednesday in the Association. The big story tonight is fading the blowout. Teams like the Spurs and Rockets are in very solid matchups, but come in with big Vegas lines on their sides. We’ll have to make some decisions about whether we think those starters see the fourth quarters in their respective games. Other pieces of news out there include Nic Batum sitting again making Jeremy Lamb likely a popular play again and Kemba Walker seeing a solid boost in expected usage. Then there’s the teams trying to tank like the Lakers, Suns, Kings and how we determine their projected player minutes. All that and more. *Update: Lamarcus Aldridge is cleared to play which renders some of the discussion on the Spurs Subscribe to this podcast on...

We've got you completely covered. Lakers @ Rockets - We could fill this write up with picks from this game. The truth is this game is extremely unpredictable and it could go a ton of different ways. With the Rockets being favored by 17, I wouldn't be surprised to see an early blowout. However, if the Lakers keep it close we should see some huge DFS performances. Clarkson and Randle are my favorite two Lakers with Harden and Capela my favorite Rockets. Ivica Zubac has also been great lately and could be in play once again. Point Guard Patrick Mills FD - $4400 DK - $5300 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 27.32 DK - 29.66 Both Tony Parker and Dejounte Murray are questionable with injuries, which could lead to Mills being close to a must play. Parker and Murray were both out last game, which turned into a fantastic game for Mills, finishing with 15 points, 9 assists, and 35 fantasy points. This pick is contingent on these guys being out, so make sure to keep an eye out for the news article later in the day. If Parker and Murray do sit, Mills becomes one of the better options on the slate. Damian Lillard and the Blazers have been horrible against PG's, allowing over 48 fantasy points per game to the position. Mills is a guy Popovich has full trust in and he won't really have a chance, mostly due to Bryn Forbes just not being good enough to get substantial minutes at point guard against Damian Lillard. Mills is also a pretty good PG defender, so I could see him matching up with Lillard down the stretch. As a wrap, if Parker and Murray are ruled out, Mills is great everywhere. Update: Tony Parker is now questionable which could put Mills out of the value arena Mike Conley FD - $8000 DK - $7600 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 38.02 DK - 40.35 Conley isn't the most exciting PG in the league, but he surely gets it done. Conley has typically sat around 40 FP as of late, with a few games over and a few under. The match-up with the Bulls is a great one for Conley as they just don't have anyone to match...
