A busy week of NBA basketball tips off on Monday with a 5-game slate that has injury questions throughout the night. Three of the five games tip off at 7PM, including the two with the highest point totals of the night, where Washington travels to Detroit (236.0 total) and Portland visits Indiana (240.0 total). The other game in the 7PM time slot is the Lakers facing the 76ers in Philly with a 231.0 total on NBA TV. Two hours later, the Pelican play the Jazz in Utah in a game with a 230.5 total, and then an hour and a half later, the Nuggets face the Clippers in LA in a game with a 218.5 total on NBATV.
There are injury situations to consider with each game, with the most important question for the 7PM games currently the status of Jordan Poole, who was a (very) late scratch for the Wizards last game. We should know Poole’s status before lock (right?) , as well as (hopefully) confirmation that LeBron James is in the lineup for the Lakers. Aaron Nesmith is Questionable for the Pacers which has altered their rotation the last few games. In the 9PM game, Jordan Clarkson and Lauri Markkanen are both listed as Questionable, however, the prices for the starters that stepped in last game have been moved up a bit on both sites. Major injury news remains for the 10:30PM game, where Aaron Gordon is out and Nikola Jokic has been listed as Questionable. It’s a tough game to maneuver with just one game in that time slot, but Jokic being out would open up a large amount of opportunity for the other Nuggets, most likely Reggie Jackson and Michael Porter, Jr. Let’s sort through the slate and figure out what to do with our DFS lineups.
