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.

What We Know Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala will sit for rest purposes Matt Barnes is really the only guy I see getting a big bump here. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson will both pick up a few more shots and have increased usage. Kevin Looney and David West may get some minutes, but I have not interest. Tristan Thompson will sit out against the Celtics with a sprained thumb With Thompson out, I expect Love to play the 5 here. The Celtics don't have a crazy interior presence and he should be able to handle Horford pretty well. Lary Sander and Channing Frye could also see a few minutes at the 5, but are unnecessary. What We're Waiting to Know Jae Crowder is a GTD against the Cavs Crowder is a big part of this offense and he will do his absolute best to make sure he plays. Even if he plays, I don't think he will be 100%. If he's out, you have to like Isaiah Thomas and Jaylen Brown. Both will get bumps and Avery Bradley could also see some time at the 3. Dirk Nowitzki, Harrison Barnes, Seth Curry, Devin Harris, and J.J. Barea are all questionable Ummmm.... who knows. These guys have no incentive to play and I wouldn't be surprised to see any of them sit. No matter what, I don't think anyone on this team sees crazy minutes tonight. Nerlens Noel is really good and makes sense in tournaments. He could see 40 fantasy points in only 30 minutes. Kyle Lowry is questionable to return tonight against the Pistons If Lowry returns, I will stay away from the Raptors. The Pistons play slow and don't give up too much to guards. If Lowry remains out, DeRozan is a good tournament option. With that being said, I like the Rockets SG's a lot, so I doubt I will have too much exposure.

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 Jusuf Nurkic remains out for the rest of the regular season with a tibia fracture Nurkic has been out for a couple games, but we still don't really know what to look for. Sure, Noah Vonleh and Meyers Leonard will see most of the minutes. They are both interesting plays, but not so much against Rudy Gobert and the Jazz interior. Lillard and McCollum also see a few more shots and are excellent plays tonight in tournaments. Dirk Nowitzki, Seth Curry and Wes Matthews will not play against the Kings Dirk has no reason to suit up and he'll likely sit out for the rest of the year. Nerlens Noel becomes one of the top plays on the slate and I love him against the Kings. Dwight Powell also has upside, but we have seen him disappoint plenty of times in spots just as good. With Barnes also questionable, the wings could be pretty bad. Manny Harris and Dorian Finney-Smith should both get substantial minutes if Barnes is ruled out. Still out - Derrick Rose, Robert Covington, George Hill, Will Barton, Malcolm Brogdon What We're Waiting to Know Marc Gasol, Jamychal Green, and Tony Allen are all questionable against the Spurs Gasol and Green have been out for a few games, so we know what happens if they miss. Zach Randolph and Brandan Wright are both interesting plays in cash and tournaments. If Allen is out, I think Vince Carter and James Ennis see secured minutes. I'm willing to play either in the right tournament. Harrison Barnes is questionable to play for rest purposes The Mavs have no incentive to win, so it makes sense giving Barnes a game off if he's tired. With Seth Curry and Wes Matthews already ruled out, we may see Manny Harris and Dorian Finney-Smith get big minutes. They are both interesting plays against a Kings team who doesn't play much defense. The "Every Lineup" Guys LeBron...

We've got you completely covered. Does it matter? The NBA can be a very stressful DFS sport towards the end. When you combine the late scratches, resting superstars, and inconsistent play, it can certainly be frustrating. However, targeting teams that want to win are important. While not always necessary, I tend to roster players from these teams down the stretch, more and more as we get closer to the last game. Something to Play for Boston Celtics Charlotte Hornets Oklahoma City Thunder Memphis Grizzlies Milwuakee Bucks Utah Jazz Miami Heat Denver Nuggets Toronto Raptors Chicago Bulls Atlanta Hawks Indiana Pacers Cleveland Cavaliers Washington Wizards Nothing to Play for New York Knicks Los Angeles Lakers Dallas Mavericks San Antonio Spurs Philadelphia 76ers New Orleans Pelicans Brooklyn Nets Golden State Warriors Houston Rockets Phoenix Suns   Point Guard Kemba Walker FD - $7600 DK - $8000 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 41.09 DK - 43.64 With season-end quickly approaching, there are multiple teams with a ton to play for. None more-so than the Hornets, who must win out to stay in playoff contention. Walker single-handedly led his team to victory against the Nuggets with an insane 2nd half scoring spree. The Hornets will rely heavily on Walker for the rest of the year, as the rest of the lineup is either banged up or flat out unable to create a shot. While Walker presumably matches up with Westbrook, I don't think he has to cover him. I expect Batum or MKG to play on Westbrook, as Walker can easily cover Andre Roberson. That should allow Walker to keep his gas tank on F for offense, where he will be able to dice up this defense. Westbrook has ben struggling on defense all year and his interior backup has now started to falter. With Steven Adams struggling of late, guards have been able to attack the rim against the Thunder. If Walker is able to get a groove going, you can expect a huge outing. While Walker generally isn't a guy I touch in cash games, this scenario is different. He is guaranteed to shoot 20-25 times and play close to 40 minutes. In a fast-paced game with a lot on the line, don't expect a disappointment. Dennis Schroder FD -...

What We Know George Hill is out to play against the Wizards Hill missed last game and Shelvin Mack ended up playing 30 minutes. He isn't a guy I have any interest in tonight. Gordon Hayward also picked up some minutes and played a bit of point forward, which gives him a lot of upside. Hayward is a SF I have exposure to in tournaments. Malcolm Brogdon has been ruled out against the Pistons Khris Middleton and Matthew Dellavedova are the 2 that gain the most here. Middleton is the only one I have interest in as Delly doesn't have nearly enough upside for this slate. Middleton will see 34-36 minutes and have a chance to get hot from the field. Giannis could also see a few extra usage points in a pretty good individual match-up. Marc Gasol is out against the Mavericks Gasol has missed the last two, so we have a pretty good idea of what's going on here. Zach Randolph and Brandan Wright will both see big minutes and are good plays. Z-Bo is one of the top options at PF and makes for a tremendous cash game option. He fits the mold of a center in a small lineup. Robert Covington and Jahlil Okafor have been ruled out against the Cavaliers Okafor has been out for a while and Holmes + Long will continue picking up for him. As for Covington, Justin Anderson will see most of his minutes. He's a vry strong option against the Cavs where he will see close to 40 minutes. Ty Lawson, Kosta Koufos, Anthony Tolliver, and Arron Afflalo will all be rested against the Pelicans There is still no real place to look for the Kings. Sure, Willie Cauley-Stein can be used everywhere. After that, I don't have any confidence. Darren Collison is a great tournament play but lacks the safety for cash games. Garrett Temple could also see a few extra minutes and shots....

What We Know Reggie Jackson will remain out against the Nets Reggie Jackson is supposedly "resting", though I'm pretty sure Stan Van Gundy is just tired of seeing his face. Ish Smith will get the start and is one of the best plays on the day. KCP will also see a few extra shots and minutes. Austin Rivers will not play against the Suns Rivers left last night's game and Doc Rivers said he will likely be out for a while. Jamal Crawford will pick up a few extra minutes and he has a great match-up with the Suns. Crawford is one of the better value plays on the board. The "Every Lineup" Guys Ish Smith Ish Smith will start once again with Reggie Jackson out, and in result see at least 35 minutes. This match-up with the Nets is a perfect one for Smith as he relies on transition buckets and open shots. Jeremy Lin is one of the worst defenders on the perimeter and he will have no chance of staying with the speed of Ish Smith. Smith is easily one of the fastest guards in the league and should be able to use that well against the Nets. They have no rim defense either, as Brook Lopez isn't a guy who cares much about defense at this point. Smith is a guy I will have 100% of in both cash games and tournaments. Jimmy Butler The Bulls and Cavs will face off in one of the games that has the most to offer DFS-wise. The Cavs and Bulls are both in big spots and want this game in a big way. Butler has taken a huge load for this Bulls team with Wade out and Rondo struggling. Butler will definitely see the defense of LeBron James, which is as tough as anything. However, he has done well against the Cavs in the past as he isn't a guy who just relies on...
