What We Know With Robert Covington being upgraded to probable, there isn't much injury news on the day. Dante Cunningham is the only guy questionable and he isn't a guy who makes much of an impact. All games will be played that are in question due to the stroms This is just a go ahead on the east coast games. They looked to be in jeopardy earlier in the day but are good to go now. Warriors starters will play after resting last game Curry, Thompson, and Draymond Green all rested against the Spurs. They will be back in full force tonight and ready to start another win streak. The "Every Lineup" Guys DeMarcus Cousins Cousins is one of my favorite options on the board tonight in what figures to be a very fast-paced game. Cousins and Davis will both be popular tonight, but I think Cousins comes in a bit lower-owned and there are some options that I like at PF. In turn, Cousins is who we prefer here in both cash and tourneys. He will face off with Jusuf Nurkic, who is far too slow and unathletic to stay with Boogie. While Nurkic has hightened the Portland interior defense, they are still one of the worst interiors in the game. Victor Oladipo Oladipo may not be the elusive scorer that Westbrook is or anywhere near the rebounder,r but he's been getting it done. With Westbrook insanely expensive (albeit a fantastic play), you may want some cheaper exposure. Oladipo certainly gives you that at under $6.5k on both sites. The Nets are one of the absolute best match-ups in the league from SG's as they have given up over 41 FP per game to the respective position. Oladipo is a quality play in all formats.

DFSR’s Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Tuesday 3/14/17
DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Tuesday 3/14/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take a look at a five game schedule in the NBA. The major piece of news we’ll be waiting on today is how weather could effect the games in Brooklyn and New York. With a snowstorm there we could see these games postponed. Stay tuned for that news. Outside of that major waiting game, there’s solid value on this slate. If everything goes off without a hitch then you likely see Russell Westbrook and Victor Oladipo chalk plays against a defensively-deficient Brooklyn squad. Subscribe to this podcast on...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/13/17 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.

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 LaMarcus Aldridge, Tony Parker, and Dejounte Murray have been ruled out against the Hawks Aldridge and Parker both play huge roles on this offense, so their absence leaves a lot to be picked up. Dejounte Murray is also the backup of Parker, so they will be short at PG. Patty Mills is one of the top plays on this slate and we will touch on him later. With Leonard also questionable, the Spurs as a whole may be very short-handed. David Lee and Dewayne Dedmon are both in play with Lee being the much better option. What We're Waiting to Know Kawhi leonard is currently listed as questionable With 3 players already out for the Spurs, they will be very reliant on Leonard if he plays. For that reason, I do like him in tournaments if he's active. If he misses like expected, Kyle Anderson, David Lee, and Patty Mills all get a bump. They will each pick up a few extra minutes and have a much higher usage. Lee and Mills are cash game options while Anderson is a guy I will only have in tournaments. Rudy Gobert went through shootaround and is listed as questionable Gobert missed last game against the Thunder, resulting in a whole lot of nothing. With Withey struggling, the Jazz spread the minutes around to Withey, Bolomboy, and Trey Lyles. Withey has a little bit of upside in this match-up as he will be needed to match the size of DeAndre Jordan. He did play extremely well last season with Rudy Gobert out for a couple of months. Wilson Chandler and Jameer Nelson are questionable to play vs the Lakers Both Chandler and Nelson play big roles on this team and r equally valuable at their positions. If Nelson gets ruled out, you almost have to play Jamal Murray. They have been getting him more minutes and you can hypothetically lock him in for 35 if...
Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – 3/13/17
Daily Fantasy NBA Basketball Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/13/17 Happy Monday, y'all! As of this writing our Sunday night plays are doing amazing, so I'm just going to freeze this moment in time and write this article while in a good mood. Plus, noted DFSR chatter Evan Lane (the fastest man in the industry with injury news) said he liked my picks articles, so I'm going to do my best to bring a touch more fire than normal. You're entering an article filled with DFS wizardry, you have been warned. Just kidding. But I'll still do my best.

Point Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $6700 DK - $7700Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 38.31 DK - 41 Jordan Clarkson FD - $5200 DK - $5500Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 27.78 DK - 29.72 We start off with a semi-rare treat, getting playable point guard options against the hapless Nuggets' perimeter defense! The Nuggets have managed to allow the 2nd most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season in spite of notable tanking efforts from teams from coast to coast. Their defensive indifference leaks into their stats across all relevant fantasy categories, allowing the 2nd most assisted baskets per game, the 3rd highest 3pt% per game, and generating the very fewest turnovers in the league. This is especially great for the Lakers' young, mistake-prone ball-handling duo. Russell is obviously the safer (and chalkier) option here - he's been routinely paying 5x on these prices and he's been getting a longer minutes leash recently. Clarkson is interesting in his own right, though. The ostensible back-up has put 34 shots in the air in the last two games, and remains very cheap relatively to the opportunity he seems to be getting right now. Russell is a cash game staple, but I'd potentially be interested in both for a big tourney stack. Patrick Mills FD - $4000 DK - $4400Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 27.75 DK - 30.1 There's a good chance Tony Parker and Dejounte Murray miss Monday night's tilt with the Hawks, and if they do, you can expect to see my dear friend Patrick Mills in cash game lineups across the industry. He was a 66% start against the Warriors in the Battle of the Backups, and while the Hawks don't represent...

We've got you completely covered. Early game - Chicago Bulls @ Boston Celtics There is a game at 3:30 between the Bulls and Celtics that isn't included on the main slate. I kept these guys out of the article as they will be irrelevant for most. If you are playing the early slate, there are a couple of ways to go here. On the Bulls, Jimmy Butler is the only guy I have interest in. He may draw Avery Bradley defense in the 4th quarter but should do just fine in the end. On the Celtics, I have interest in Al Horford and Avery Bradley. Horford has a great match-up with Robin Lopez and is still underpriced. As for Bradley, he's ridiculously under-priced and will be a lock for any cash games I have in the early slate. Make sure he's playing as he is coming off a lengthy injury. Point Guard Damian Lillard FD - $9000 DK - $9000 Opponent - PHO Proj Pts FD - 43.21 DK - 46.49 We have a 5 game main-slate on our hands tonight, with 5 pretty interesting games from a DFS perspective. This affair between the Blazers and Suns is certainly one of the games we will be targeting a ton as it holds a 230 over/under with just a 1 point line. Lillard is the top offensive option for the Blazers and should shoot at least 20 times. The Blazers did play last night, which is a tad bit concerning. However, Lillard has played over 30 minutes in every back-to-back set this year. Eric Bledsoe will likely draw the match-up and have trouble covering Lillard all game long. Bledsoe is a decent individual defender, but struggles with on and off-ball screens. This Blazers lives and dies off of off-ball screens to get open, so this could be trouble. Lillard is the 2d highest price PG on FD so I could see his ownership being a little lower than expected. Lillard is one of the safer options on the slate in both cash games and tournaments. Derrick Rose FD - $6500 DK - $6300 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 33.47 DK - 35.41 D-Rose had his first off-game in a while yesterday, finishing with just 14 fantasy points on just 11...
