What We Know Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge will be rested against the Kings This is definitely huge news, even on a day with a ton of news. Kawhi and LaMarcus both take up a ton of minutes and usage for this Spurs team and a few guys will benefit. Kyle Anderson and David Lee figure to see the biggest boost and both are good plays on both sites. However, Kyle Anderson is a far better value on DK where the pricing is much tougher. Pau Gasol could also ee some extended run and makes for an interesting value play against a weak Kings interior. Nikola Vucevic has been ruled out ith an achilles injury This one is pretty cut and dry. If Vucevic is out, you look to Bismack Biyombo. he will once again playat least 30 minutes and score 25 fantasy points. THe Bulls are pretty weak down low and he should have no problem destroying value. Derrick Favors has been ruled out with knee soreness This came out of nowhere, but not really when you consider his past. This is a situation I I'll mostly stay away from, as there are plenyt of other ways to go on this slate. Rudy Gobert will continue seeing big minutes and he's in play against the Rockets. What We're Waiting to Know Nikola Jokic is questionable to play Jokic looks like he'll miss again and we should see a different run of minutes in this one. The Nuggets got away with playing small in the last game, which left Hernangomez and Arthur very few minutes. Markieff Morris should present a much different challenge and one that they will need a big to take on. Hernangomez has shown a lot of GPP upside and he is very interesting. Mason Plumlee should also see considerable run against a fast-paced Wizards team. Dwyane Wade, Jimmy Butler, and Rajon Rondo are all questionable to play This game could turn...

Injury news is going to be the story today with all kinds of stuff hanging out there in the wind. Vucevic has already been rule out which means we can go back to the Biyombo well again with other Magic coming in as value plays. Some of the more interesting teams include the Hornets who are going to be without Kaminsky, the Bulls who may be without Butler and Wade, the Rockets possibly without Ryan Anderson and Nikola Jokic’s status up in the air.

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard John Wall FD - $10200 DK - $10700 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 50.04 DK - 52.93 Wall is coming off a thriller against the Suns last night where he almost hit 60 fantasy points. While the back-to-back may scare a lot of people away from Wall, he is no average player. Wall has played huge minutes in B2B's, averaging 37.5 on the season. He's also had a better game in the second half of each B2B so far, so it doesn't look like he's getting too fatigued. This match-up with the Nuggets is a fantastic one in terms pace and DFS appeal. Wall should obliterate the likes of Jameer Nelson and Jamal Murray on defense, considering they both have negative defensive ratings. The Nuggets don't have any shutdown perimeter defender and will be forced to let Nelson and Murray do the best they can. The Nuggets also lack the presence of a rim protector, which is vital in slowing down John Wall. While Wall is expensive on both sites. he's well worth it in cash games. You know he'll get you 45 as a floor and has an unquestioned ceiling of 75. He may also go a bit under-owned, as it seems like a lot of people are on Isaiah and Curry, who are both similarly priced. John wall under-owned against the Nuggets? Yes, please. Goran Dragic FD - $7400 DK - $7200 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 35.65 DK - 37.78 Both James and Tyler Johnson were forced to sit out against the Cavs with minor injuries. There's a possibility they will both remain out tonight, which would leave a ton of usage and minutes for the rest of the team. Dragic is the leaders of this club and makes the heart beat. This match-up with the Hornets may not be ideal, but it's pretty close. Kemba Walker is one of the absolute worst defenders in the league and is far too small to deal with Dragic. The Hornets have ranked in the bottom 10 against PG's for the past 2 seasons and we have seen guards continually torch Kemba. They do have Batum who's a solid defender, but will be far more concerned with his responsibilities in Dion...

DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Tuesday 3/7/17 The DFSR crew of Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the pod to discuss the three-game slate of NBA action. For only three games there’s a lot to consider with a couple of really high Vegas totals. They start the discussion with Russell Westbrook and how highly owned he is even at more than $13000 on both sites. Then they break down the Trailblazers situation coming off the postponement from last night. The Mavs are in a great spot against the fast-paced, no defense LA Lakers with really all of the starters in play for cash games. And finally they go in depth on the state of the Phoenix Suns and how much you can trust guys like Alan Williams and Tyler Ullis coming off the bench. Subscribe to this podcast on...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 3/6/17 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 Dwyane Wade has been ruled out against the Pistons Wade has been playing about 32 minutes lately, which should open up some substantial value. First, Jimmy Butler becomes an elite play. Although the Pistons are tough on defense, Butler will see a huge usage and be forced to run the offense for close to 38 minutes. Outside of Butler, it really is a crapshoot. With Rondo already questionable, we could see some extended run for Valentine or Grant. We could also see Anthony Morrow or Isaiah Canaan get 25 minutes. This Bulls team is a stay away for me outside of Butler. Frank Kaminsky will remain out 10-14 days Kaminsky has been one of the only real positives for the Hornets lately, who haven't been shooting all too well. This will force Marvin Williams and Cody Zeller to both play big minutes. Williams is my favorite of the two and we will touch on him later. MKG could also see some minutes at the 4 and becomes an interesting cash game option. I will stay away from Zeller until he is off of his appointed minutes restriction. What We're Waiting to Know Nikola Jokic is questionable to play with an illness This one burns, as Jokic was a really interesting tournament option heading into the night. As a guy who already sees spotty minutes, this gets me completely off him. If Jokic plays, I will avoid the squad as a whole. If Jokic is announced out, Juan Hernangomez is an absolute must play. With Kenneth Faried already ruled out, you can expect Hernangomez to see at least 28 minutes if Jokic misses. Plumlee would also pick up substantial minutes and becomes a very strong play. Nikola Vucevic is considered questionable against the Knicks Vuc missed just last night, so don't expect him to come back tonight. Bismack Biyombo immediately took over and produced a ton. He has always done so when given...
