What We Know Kristaps Porzingis has been ruled out Porzingis has been out for a while now, and we have seen some players take advantage. Mindaugas Kuzminskas and Carmelo Anthony have already seen the biggest bumps in production, and both are in play tonight. The Celtics have a few decent individual defenders, but play fast and don't have a great defensive efficiency. You can look at both Anthony and Kuzminskas in cash, and tournaments as well. Steven Adams will not play with a concussion Adams is still in the concussion protocol, and will be held out at least another game. Enes Kanter will step in if the game stays close, and he has a ton of upside. Joffrey Lauvergne and Domantas Sabonis could also see some extra run, and I do have slight interest in both. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will not play against the Hawks KCP will miss his 3rd consecutive game, and could be out for a few more. Stanley Johnson has played big minutes, and saw 38 minutes in the last contest. He should see big minutes again tonight, and you can definitely play him in tournaments. The price is cheap, and we have seen the upside in the past. What We're Waiting to Know Joel Embiid, Nerlens Noel & T.J. McConnell are questionable against the Raptors McConnell and Embiid both play big minutes, and Noel could step in for Embiid if he misses. If all 3 are out, Jahlil Okafor will play 30 minutes, and is a great option against the Raptors. Sergio Rodriguez will also get the start, and you can consider him in all formats. His price is still cheap, and should have the ball in his hands a ton. We have no idea what's going on with Klay Thompson Thompson went from probable, to out, to questionable. He is currently questionable, and I really don't think he ends up playing. Ian Clark will likely get the start, but he doesn't...

Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $12300 DK - $12100 Opponent - GS Proj Pts FD - 56.35 DK - 60.18 I am not a huge fan of narratives, but c'mon, you have to Love what Westbrook brings tonight. These 2 teams did face off already, but the game turned into a blowout and Westbrook only saw 28 minutes. That could certainly happen again tonight, and at his price, he isn't a guy I will look at in cash. With that being said, you have to love him in tournaments. If the game stays close, thy have nobody to guard Westbrook, and the upside is unlimited. Point guard is a spot you can go a lot of different ways at, but will probably want to pay up somewhat. Westbrook is sitting in the low 12k's on both sites, so he forces yo into a pretty tough roster construction. This slate is not one with a bunch of value, and because of that, Westbrook will be limited to tournaments. Let's take a look at some guys you can look at in cash games. Kyle Lowry FD - $8800 DK - $8500 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 38.15 DK - 41.03 Lowry took a seat last night, so should be ready to go full force tonight. The 76ers have been playing well as of late, and with the Raptors on a back-back, this could definitely stay close. Lowry is a do it all PG, and the ultimate guy for cash games. Lowry consistently sits above 40 fantasy  points, and will then flash his 55 point ceiling very week or so. This could definitely be one of those game, as he will have the freshest legs and be able to log plenty  of minutes. Joel Embiid is a great presence inside,  but the 76ers have nobody on the perimeter to help. The 76ers have been bad against PG's, ranking 6th to last last in terms of real life points scored. Sergio Rodriguez is a decent defender, but will struggle with the off ball screens that the Raptors love to run.  His price is fair, and he is a very comforting player to have. Kemba Walker FD - $7900 DK - $7700 Opponent - POR Proj Pts...

What We Know Clint Capela will return after missing over a month This is kind of a bummer, as I as interested in Harrell tonight. With Ryan Anderson questionable, I could see Clint Capela play good minutes. It has been announced that he will play big minutes, and I don't hate him in tournaments. Montrezl Harrell and Nene lose all appeal for me. This could up harden's assist numbers as well, as these 2 were tremendous early in the season. Josh Richardson will miss at least 2 weeks Richardson has been battling an injury as of late, and it has been announced that he will be out for at least 2 weeks. Dion Waiters will gain the most minutes, and Goran Dragic will also have his minutes secured. Richardson averaged almost 38 minutes when he played, so there are definitely ways to take advantage. What We're Waiting to Know Ryan Anderson is questionable against the Heat Anderson takes a ton of shots for the Rockets, and with Capela back, this is getting a bit murky. We could see Harrell step in at PF, and I do like him. He has been good when on the court, and his price is still pretty low. He will also see defense from someone other than Hassan Whiteside, which is great. If Anderson plays, I will only have exposure to Capela. Gary Harris is questionable against the Lakers Harris has been battling injuries all season, and it looks like he could miss this one. Will Barton is currently listed as probable, so he should be the guy who gets most minutes at SG. He has upside, but is only someone to consider in tournaments. The Lakers are a good match up, and somebody will have a good game on the wing if Harris is out. The "Every Lineup" Guys Nikola Jokic Jokic has been phenomenal as of late, and h will likely do more of the same tonight. Timofey...

DFSR's Daily Fantasy NBA Podcast for DraftKings and FanDuel Tuesday 1/17/17 Coming off a crazy holiday slate of Monday basketball, things look to stabilize a bit in the NBA tonight as we get back to our normal main slate start times. The guys talk about how the Nets are playing tonight which likely means once again loading up on Raptors like Kyle Lowry, Demar Derozan and Demarre Carroll. They also discuss the Nuggets’ situation at length with Gary Harris likely out tonight. They could free up a lot of minutes for Emmanuel Mudiay and Jameer Nelson. But there’s also the potential minutes for Kenneth Faried and Nikola Jokic, both of whom played last night. And finally they discuss bigger money options like James Harden and Hassan Whiteside.

Note - I will redo the entire article at 4:00 for the late slate, so make sure to check back then. What We Know Steven Adams has been ruled out with a concussion   Steven Adams plays a bunch of minutes at the center spot, and leaves a bunch of minutes up for grabs. Enes Kanter is likely to get the start, and Joffrey Lauvergne and Damontas Sabonis may also get around 22-25 minutes each. I don't mind them in tournaments, but I won't touch either in cash games. We will talk about Kanter in a minute, but I absolutely love him. Rodney Hood has been ruled out against the Jazz   Hood has had a few decent games, and will now head back to the bench. Alec Burks and Joe Ingles will also pick up a few minutes, and Burks is a decent tournament play. The Suns play fast, and if Burks gets the minutes, he will certainly hit value. What We're Waiting to Know Avery Bradley is officially questionable   Bradley looks to be more likely than not to play, so that would send Marcus Smart to he bench. It also hurts Nicolas Batum, as he will see an elite man to man defender. If Bradley is announced out, Marcus Smart will get another start and Isaiah Thomas will get a bump in usage. Jae Crowder has also played well with Bradley out. The "Every Lineup" Guys Klay Thompson The shooting guard position lacks a stud tonight, and the guys up top aren’t in great spots. Klay Thompson is the most expensive guy I have interest in, and I will use this position to help me pay up elsewhere. Thompson has plenty of upside here, and won’t be seeing the best of on ball defenders. He will probably see Kyrie Irving, Kyle Korver and Iman Shumpert throughout the game. Shumpert is the only plus defender there, but by no means shutdown. Thompson isn’t...
