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 Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, and Tony Snell will all sit against the Celtics Malcolm Brogdon and Greg Monroe are the only 2 guys with any talent left on this team so you have to like them. Michael beasley could also see a ton of run and he has unlimited upside. John Wall, Brad Beal, and Markieff Morris are all listed as out With Otto Porter back, you can expect him to shoot a ton. Brandon Jennings and Jason Smith could also see some minutes and shots. Jennings is my favorite of the two. Kristaps Porzingis and Carmelo Anthony will sit against the 76'ers Maurice Ndour has been playing big minutes and he becomes an interesting play tonight. Guillermo Hernangomez is also pretty safe against a horrible 76'ers interior. Brook Lopez and Jeremy Lin will sit against the Bulls Lopez and Lin are the only 2 guys who have been shooting a lot lately, so it'll be interesting to see how this works out. Still, I don't love anyone. The Nets play a ton of guys and I think they just play everyone 22-24 minutes. Trevor Booker is an interesting GPP play. Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala will be rested against the Lakers The Warriors have nothing to play for, so I don't love anything here. With Durant back, the usage is a bit more spread out. Matt Barnes could see some minutes at 3/4 and be a good tournament play. Curry and Thompson always have the upside as well. Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins will both rest for the regular season finale Alexis Ajinca and Cheick Diallo are my 2 favorite options here down low. They should each see 25 minutes and hit value. Jordan Crawford and Jrue Holiday will both see an uptick in usage. Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum, and Allen Crabbe are all out tonight Shabazz Napier will once again see big minutes and be a phenomenal play. Connaughton and...

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 Russell Westbrook, Taj Gibson, Andre Roberson, and Doug McDermott are all resting against the T--Wolves Well, this is the first game of the year Westbrook has sat, so we really don't know what's going on. With Roberson also out, Victor Oladipo will see a ton of minutes and shots. Enes Kanter is my other favorite guy and he should see at least 12 shots. Semaj Christon could also see some minutes but I don't think he's neccesary on this slate. Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins are out against the Lakers Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins shoot about 110% of the Pelicans shots, so this will be interesting. Alexis Ajinca and Check Diallo will both see over 24 minutes and are very interesting cash game plays. Dante Cunnigham and Jrue Holiday will also see an uptick. Jordan Crawford will both see a ton of minutes. Devin Booker has been ruled out against the Kings Booker loves to shoot, so you can look at Ulis and Warren here. Both guys should see at least 35 minutes and hit value with ease in cash. D'Angelo Russell isn't expected to play for personal reasons Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Ennis will both see at least 30 minutes and shoot over 15 times. Nwaba and Ingram may also see a few extra shots and minutes, but aren't neccesarily a must on this slate. The "Every Lineup" Guys Victor Oladipo With Westbrook out, you have to imagine the ball will be in his hands a ton. Westbrook hasn't missed a game so far this year, so I can't sit here and tell you who will see increased usage. With that being said, Oladipo ill shoot 20 times and you can expect at least a 30% usage. The Timberwolves are a very average defense at this point and Brandon Rush isn't one of the best defenders on that team. Oladipo is a supreme cash game and tournament option. Alexis Ajinca...

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 LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, and Tristan Thompson are out while Kevin Love is doubtful The Cavaliers projected lineup is Deron Williams, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Richard Jefferson, and Channing Frye. Derrick Williams should also see substantial minutes off the bench if Love is out. All 5 of the starters are in play with the top 3 being Williams, Frye, and Smith. All 3 should shoot a ton and the prices are obviously way off. Shumpert and Jefferson are fine punts but nowhere near the others. Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum, and Allen Crabbe will all be rested tonight The Blazers are REALLY short-handed tonight. Shabazz Napier and Pat Connaughton will start for the 2 stars and both make good value plays. Maurice Harkless and Evan Turner will also both play a lot and shoot more than normal. With no active centers on the roster, expect Meyers Leonard and Aminu to see big minutes. The Spurs are a slow team and I will only have 2 or 3 guys from this Blazers team because of it. Gordon Hayward and Rodney Hood will sit out against the Warriors With George Hill back, he could be an interesting tournament option against the fast-paced Warriors. Joe Ingles and Jose Johnson will both see a lot of minutes and I like both in all formats. The Warriors play fast and there will be plenty of places to look. Rudy Gobert could also see an uptick in shots taken tonight. Klay Thompson will rest against the Jazz Patrick McCaw will likely get the start but remains a guy who is useless in DFS. With Durant back, the Warriors are still trying to reacclimate him into the offense as the playoffs approach. Curry could be interesting against the Jazz but nothing more than a tournaments option. Kemba Walker will miss the rest of the season with a left knee injury With Kemba out for the year, the Hornets have given...

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 Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge, Pau Gasol, Manu Ginobili, and Danny Green will all rest against the Mavericks The Spurs are locked into the 2nd seed, so there is no reason to get these guys tired against the Mavs. Jonathon Simmons, Kyle Anderson, Davis Bertans, David Lee, Dewayne Dedmon, and Patty Mills should all get big minutes. Bryn Forbes and Tony Parker could also pick up minutes, but I will only have them in tournaments. The rest of those guys are all viable in cash games at such low prices. Paul Millsap has been ruled out for rest The Hawks announced Millsap will sit out the 2nd half of the B2B, which happens to be tonight. Dwight Howard and Dennis Schroder will both see an uptick in usage. Ersan Ilyasova will pick up 28 minutes and makes for a solid cash game option. Kristaps Porzingis and Carmelo Anthony have been ruled out against the Grizzlies With Rose already ruled out, this team is a dumpster fire. Guillermo Hernangomez is still the only guy I can trust to get solid minutes. Ron Baker, Justin Holiday, and Courtney Lee are all solid tournament options as well. This is a pretty tough match-up against the slow Memphis Grizzlies. Will Barton and Jameer Nelson have been ruled out against the Pelicans Jamal Murray and Gary Harris are both solid options in a game that should stay close. With Wilson Chandler also questionable, Danilo Gallinari could be in for a big workload. George Hill is doubtful to play against the Timberwolves Dante Exum and Shelvin Mack could both see big minutes, but I don't think either are necessary. Gordon Hayward could see an extended amount of time at the point and is pretty safe in cash games. What We're Waiting to Know DeMarcus Cousins is questionable to play with a sore achilles Cousins is obviously the biggest piece of news today, so we will be waiting to see...

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 Rajon Rondo has been ruled out against the 76ers Rondo has been a huge part of the Bulls offense as of late, so this will be interesting to see. Jerian Grant will get the start and definitely deserves some ownership in tournaments. Jimmy Butler will also play a lot of point guard and we will get to him later. Nikola Mirotic could also see an uptick in usage. What We're Waiting to Know Paul Millsap is likely to play against the Celtics Millsap came back and played 26 minutes last game. he should see around 30 in this one and if he plays, I will avoid him. If Millsap is out, Dwight Howard is a solid option.Schroder would also pick up some usage and be interesting against Isaiah Thomas. Sean Kilpatrick is questionable against the Magic The Nets have a million different guards, so nobody will see extra minutes either way. The Nets have been spreading minutes out like crazy and I have no interest in anyone besides Jeremy Lin. The "Every Lineup" Guys Isaiah Thomas Isaiah and the Celtics got destroyed by LeBron in crew last game and ended up playing only a portion of his regular minutes. The Celtics want the 1 seed and Thomas will see a ton of minutes here. Dennis Schroder is one of the worst PG defenders in the league and the Hawks have ranked 27th since the ASB against PG's. Thomas is the only real reliable offensive option on the C's and they will rely on him heavily in this one. Jimmy Butler With Rajon Rondo already confirmed out, you have to think Jimmy Butler will be playing a ton of point guard here. The 6'ers are obviously not the team to slow down Butler, who has been on fire as of late. The Bulls are in must-win mode and Butler is the only guy who can score on a consistent basis. While Butler is...
