We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Ricky Rubio FD - $6800 DK - $7300 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 36.79 DK - 38.84 Rubio has been absolutely fantastic over the last week or so, even though his price has barely gone up. With 38+ in 3 of his last 4, I expected to see a big price bump here for Rubio. Instead, he is still sitting below all of the high-end and mid-range PG's. Rubio has been relied on to take control of the offense, and Tom Thibedou obviously has a lot of trust in him. He also has improved quite a bit on defense, which could be a huge reason for him seeing a lot more minutes recently. Thibs is a big defense guy and puts effort/defense way before shooting. The Nuggets are a pretty good match-up for any PG, as the have ranked in the bottom 8 in terms of FP allowed and real-life points to PG's. Rubio is a do-it-all guard, which should play into this match-up as the Nuggets give up a lot of peripherals. This game is projected to stay close and be high scoring, so it should be interesting to see how it plays out. Rubio is my favorite PG and I'm hoping he gets overlooked with all of the options up top. Rubio is in a prime spot for both cash games and tournaments. George Hill FD - $5900 DK - $5800 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 30.91 DK - 32.62 It seemed to me like Rubio was the guy with the most inaccurate price tag, but then I kept scrolling and saw George Hill. Hill should be just as expensive as Rubio, and I don't think anyone would complain if he was in the low $7k's. He is currently in the upper-$5k's, which is beyond absurd. He faces off with the Trail Blazers tonight, which means he will see the defense of Damian Lillard. Lillard is a guy who has struggled on defense since being drafted and we haven't seen much improvement. He has still been one of the worst on-ball defenders in the league, which has resulted in him giving up some big games. Hill will likely be my highest owned player, as I'm gonna find it extremely...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/14/17 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.

What We Know Kevin Love will remain out for at least 6 weeks after undergoing back surgery Channing Frye time! Frye is a guy I love to target with LeBron on the court, as he relies a lot on his rim pressure. Richard Jefferson could also pick up a few minutes, but don't have much interest outside of large-field GPP's. LeBron and Kyrie will also pick up some usage and make for great plays in all formats. Dwyane Wade, Nikola Mirotic, and Paul Zipser are all out against the Raptors All 2 of these guys have played generous minutes, but not to sure who really benefits. With Butler expected to be back, he is the main guy I will have exposure to. Outside of him, MCW, Rondo, and Valentine will all see healthy minutes. Valentine is my favorite GPP play, as he will go the least owned. Jimmy Butler is probable to play With all 3 of the other guys out, Butler is in a prime spot. He should be back to his full health and would expect him to play close to his regular minutes. MCW could lose a few minutes, but he isn't much of an efficient DFS player anyway. I am a fan of Butler in both cash games and tournaments. Terrence Ross has been traded for Serge Ibaka, though Ibaka is unlikely to make his debut tonight Ross has been playing between 15-20 minutes as of late for the Raptors, and this will open up a few numbers for today. Norman Powell could easily see 25 and DeRozan could press 40 minutes. Ibaka won't make his debut tonight, so you won't have to worry about anyone losing minutes just yet. What We're Waiting to Know Ty Lawson is questionable to play against the Lakers Lawson has left the Kings in an uncomfortable spot with his injury, as Darren Collison has been the only true point guard on the roster. If Lawson...

DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Tuesday 2/14/17 It’s another DFSR solo podcast with Doug Norrie breaking down a three game NBA slate for FanDuel and DraftKings. Even with such a short Valentine’s Day slate there’s plenty to discuss. Some injury news we’ll want to check in on throughout the day starts with whether the Bulls will sit both Jimmy Butler and Dwayne Wade again. If so, then Michael Carter-Williams should see plenty of minutes though it’s less clear about the rest of the team. There’s also the Cavs without Kevin Love tonight and Doug talks about how that effects the rest of the team, specifically Lebron James, Kyrie Irving and Channing Frye. And finally, it’s a Boogie Nights (thanks FanDuel) evening with Demarcus Cousins likely coming in as the chalk play against the Lakers. All that and more on the DFSR NBA Podcast.

What We Know Klay Thompson has been ruled out against the Nuggets Thompson is a guy who takes a ton of shots for the Warriors, that will now have to go elsewhere. Sure, his fill-in will take 3 or 4 shots but that;s not who gets the real bump. Both Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant should see a bigger usage, and at least 3 more 3-pointers each. This game has a nearly 240 over/under, and I like everyone in this game in all formats. Thaddeus Young has been ruled out Thad Young has missed about 2 weeks now and not much has changed for these Pacers. C.J. Miles and Myles Turner have seen the most shot increase, but not by much. All of these guys are tournament-only options against the Spurs, unless more news is released. Cody Zeller has been ruled out Zeller is an integral part of the Hornets interior, and thy have suffered in his absence. Frank Kaminsky is the guy who benefits most and I have interest in all formats. Marvin Williams also gains some GPP appeal against a weak 76ers frontcourt. Plumlee is not too great of a fantasy player and you can fully ignore him. Tyson Chandler is unlikely to play vs the Pelicans Chandler is the only center who has a chance of slowing Anthony Davis down on the Suns, so this could get tough. AD gets a huge first bump, and he is an elite play. Alex Len and Marquees Chriss could also see a few extra minutes and are both great tournament options. Alan Williams is a deep tournament flier. What We're Waiting to Know Wilson Chandler is officially questionable to play vs the Warriors This is huge news and will swing a lot with this slate. If Chandler does play, he is a great tournament play and has a ton of upside. If Chandler misses, they will have a lot of minutes to fill with Danilo...

DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Monday 2/13/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie takes to an on-the-road NBA podcast to discuss a huge Monday in the NBA. There’s a ton to break down with some cheaper values already creeping to the forefront this early in the day. Some of the more relevant games include a Sixer-Charlotte affair with Nerlens Noel coming in at a great price considering Philly’s without Embiid and Okafor. On the Charlotte side you could see another start from Frank Kaminsky and Kemba Walker is coming cheap on FanDuel thanks to some recent rough shooting. The Pelicans and Suns should play in a fast-paced game with Anthony Davis (eep) as the top big money value target tonight if you can stomach the nightly injury risk. All of this and much more for a big night in the NBA. Subscribe to this podcast on...
