We've got you completely covered. Point Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $6100 DK - $5700 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 30.74 DK - 33.51 We enter into this 4 game slate with a very few ways to go at point guard. Russell is the guy we will have most exposure to, as the match up is right and the PACE should be just high. Russell had a huge game last time out vs the Nuggets, and I would expect a similar performance tonight. John Wall is a good man to man defender, but struggles in transition and gives up a lot open 3 pointers. Russell is generally more of a tournament option, but i'm willing to use him in cash games on this slate, where there is an overall lack of floor at PG. Though Russell isn't completely safe, he is as good as it will get at PG.  John Wall is a tad bit overpriced tonight, and I planned on having no exposure. what leaves me with a lot of these 3 guys we will talk about. Russell is way under priced, and I will have exposure across the entire industry. Dennis Schroder FD - $6700 DK - $6400 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 31.25 DK - 34.03 We ended up with an Atlanta Hawk at every position, so you will have to pick your spots. Schroder does have one of the worst match up son the team, but is still in a very good spot. Sure, Beverley is a wonderful defender, but it doesn't matter when the other PG has the ball an extra 20 times and take an extra 8 shots. That makes up for the quality defense, and I wouldn't worry about Schroder hurting you too badly. I look at him as an extremely safe option, and a way to go in cash games. He is obviously viable in tournaments as well, sitting in the mid $6k's on both sites. I look for Schroder to be about 30% owned, which is right where he should be. There is a merit in fading Schroder, but you better be stacking up some other Hawks. A few of these guys are going to have big games. Austin Rivers FD - $5800 DK - $6400 Opponent - GS...

Daily Fantasy NBA News and Injury Updates for FanDuel and DraftKings - 2/1/17 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 Nikola Jokic & Will Barton will not play vs the Grizzlies Jokic will be replaced by Faried, who has been great in his absence. Jusuf Nurkic could also play some minutes, but he is a tournament flier at best. Gary Harris will benefit most from Barton, and he makes a fantastic cash game play. The Grizzlies are a tough match up, but the price is low, and he has been consistent. Demar Derozan will remain out Norman Powell and Kyle Lowry. these 2 guys have both been great with Derozan out, and we will continue to target them both. The Celtics play fast, so this game should remain close and be pretty high scoring. Both Lowry and Powell are great plays across the board. Joel Embiid & Robert Covington are out vs the 76ers This is going to be a pretty fun spot to target, and we could see a few guys have big games. Jahlil Okafor, Nerlens Noel, Ersan Ilyasova and Dario Saric are all guys that are viable plays tonight. Ilyasova and Noel are my favorite, as I see them matching up best with the Mavericks. the guards could also see a few extra shots, but nothing that moves the needle too much. Derrick Rose is out vs the Nets D-Rose will sit out at least another game, and this will give us a few plays to consider. Brandon Jennings will get the obvious bump as backup PG, and will be someone we target a ton. Courtney Lee and Carmelo Anthony will also pick up some more shots, and can be played everywhere. Still out - Kevin Love, Avery Bradley, Enes Kanter, Derrick Favors What We're Waiting to Know Wilson Chandler & Emmanuel Mudiay are questionable I expect Mudiay to sit and Chandler to play, but it could go all different ways. If that does happen, Jameer Nelson is the guy who benefits most. If Chandler miss, Danilo Gallinari and...

DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Wednesday 2/1/17 DFSR’s Doug Norrie breaks down a full slate of NBA action for Wednesday with twelve games on the docket. Ton’s to dissect here with some injury news already known. Dear Derozan will sit again making Kyle Lowry and Norman Powell fantastic values for the relative usage and minutes increases they’ll see against the Celtics. We also know Kevin Love will sit tonight which will leave a decision on whether we can pay more than $11K for Lebron here. It’s close and Doug dives into his thought process on that one. He also talks about the Knicks and how to evaluate that team with guys like Derrick Rose and Kristaps Porzingis questionable. It could open the door for Carmelo Anthony, Brandon Jennings and even Wily Hernangomez. All that and more on a full day of NBA action for FanDuel and DraftKings. Subscribe to this podcast on...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Brandon Jennings FD - $5600 DK - $5200 Opponent - BKN Proj Pts FD - 33.8 DK - 36.59 Derrick Rose was listed as "unlikely to play" heading into this article, so I will proceed as if he will be out out. If he does end up playing, Brandon Jennings is obviously nowhere near as good of a play. If Rose misses, he is close to a lock here. We all love targeting guards against Brooklyn, and Jennings fits the mold. He's aggressive, loves to run the floor, can shoot the 3 and pass in transition. These are all things that should come handy against a Nets team that sports the highest PACE and lowest defensive efficiency in the league. While the price has slowly risen, the mid $5k's is fair, and value shouldn't be too big of a challenge. Spencer Dinwiddie and Isaiah Whitehead will cover Jennings, and I don't think either of them have the ability to shut down anyone, let alone Jennings, who is extremely quick and agile. As long as Rose is out, Jennings is a fantastic way to go. He can be deployed in both cash games and tournaments, though the ownership will be high. Kyle Lowry FD - $8700 DK - $8600 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 44.8 DK - 48.14 Lowry led the Raptors to an OT victory last night, and had himself a nice game in the process. With Derozan out, he shot 14 3 pointers, finishing with 33 points and 10 assists. This is an even better match up against the Celtics and Isaiah Thomas. Thomas is an absolute phenom on offense, but is one of the legitimate worst defenders in the NBA. Lowry will be able to do whatever he wants on offense, and the ball will be in his hands a ton. With Normal Powell at the 2, I don't see any chance the Celtics can put Smart on Lowry. That would leave Thomas on Powell, which is an even larger mismatch. Derozan has already been ruled out for this game, so we can sit well knowing Lowry is the safest guy on the board. Jennings and Lowry are the 2 guys that are standing out to me, and I...

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 Nikola Jokic will remain out This is huge news, and definitely a piece you will want to jump on. Kenneth Faried figures to see the biggest bump, and he should see at least 34 minutes. Jusuf Nurkic is also going to see some run, but is only a tournament option. Derrick Rose has been ruled out vs the Wizards D-Rose was expected to miss here, and I will be all over Brandon Jennings. Jennings is a guy who produces when on the court, and he has no problem taking a bunch of shots. Carmelo and Porzingis will also see an uptick in usage, and can be played. Julius Randle will miss vs the Nuggets Randle is a huge part of this offense, and there some big guys that are ready to take advantage. Both Ivica Zubak and Tarik Black are good plays, and can be used in both tournaments and cash games. Mozgov will likely start, but I have no interest. Cody Zeller has been ruled out Zeller plays a good amount of minutes down low, which will be taken up by Spencer Hawes and Marvin Williams. Both are good plays and have appeal in all formats. The Blzers struggle down low and give it up to big men. What We're Waiting to Know Emmanuel Mudiay & Will Barton are questionable Mudiay traveled with the intent of playing, so I would expect him to suit up. As for Barton, this is a bit of late news. If just Barton misses, I think Gary Harris gets a huge bump, and will be a great cash game play. If just Mudiay misses, Jameer Nelson is a top value option. If Both miss, Harris and Nelson are elite plays. The "Every Lineup" Guys Kenneth Faried Faried is basically just a lock here. With Nikola Jokic out, Faried is locked into 30 minutes and has the potential to play more. These Lakers are very lazy, and...
