Goran Dragic (health protocols) now available on Tuesday.
Goran Dragic (health protocols) now available on Tuesday. Dragic has cleared health protocols and will be available to play on Tuesday against the Cavs. It’s unclear how big of a role he’ll have off the bench but should cut into the minutes of Patty Mills a bit.

As reported by: Brett SiegelGoran Dragic (health protocols) closer to doubtful but still has a "chance" to play on Tuesday, per Coach Nash.
Goran Dragic (health protocols) closer to doubtful but still has a “chance” to play on Tuesday, per Coach Nash. We’ll see if anything chances from now until tip-off but given he’s still in health protocols, it seems unlikely he suits up for the Play-In game.
As reported by: Nick FriedellSeth Curry (ankle) probable for Tuesday.
Seth Curry (ankle) probable for Tuesday. Curry missed Sunday’s game but appears good to go for Tuesday’s play-in game. Note that Goran Dragic is still questionable (although it sounds like he’s leaning doubtful) meaning the Nets may be short-handed a bit.
As reported by: Nick FriedellNuggets will start Hyland, Forbes, Rivers, Jeff Green, and Cousins on Sunday
Lineup Update: Nuggets will start Hyland, Forbes, Rivers, Jeff Green, and Cousins on Sunday. With Jokic out, Demarcus Cousins will draw the start and projects as one of the best plays on the entire slate. He should be considered in most formats.
Nicolas Batum (ankle) listed out Sunday
Nicolas Batum (ankle) listed out Sunday. After originally being announced as part of the starting lineup it looks like the Clippers will actually elect to give Batum the night off. Robert Covington will likely take his place in the starting lineup and the Clippers will now be down to nine available bodies. Terance Mann, Amir Coffey, and Luke Kennard should shoulder most of the offensive load but on a night like tonight they are all fairly priced for DFS contests. Better value likely can be found elsewhere.
As reported by: NBA Official Injury ReportTrail Blazers will start Williams, Johnson, Louzada, Elleby, and Perry on Sunday
Lineup Update: Trail Blazers will start Williams, Johnson, Louzada, Elleby, and Perry on Sunday. Louzada and Perry will enter the starting lineup for Portland though neither of them projects well enough for serious consideration in DFS contests at this time.
Dwight Howard (rest) ruled out Sunday
Dwight Howard (rest) ruled out Sunday. Wenyen Gabriel will draw the start as the Lakers elect to rest their veterans tonight in the last game of their season. Gabriel should see a good amount of run and would normally be a solid value option but there are better and cheaper plays at center tonight like Demarcus Cousins (provided he starts).
As reported by: Mike Trudell via TwitterDonovan Mitchell (illness) ruled out Sunday
Donovan Mitchell (illness) ruled out Sunday. The Jazz will be without two starters against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Jazz could elect to go bigger adding Juancho Hernangomez to the starting five which would likely result in a bump for him and make him more intriguing at just 3.1K on DK but there is enough value on tonight’s slate that you can probably look elsewhere.
As reported by: Sarah Todd via TwitterNikola Jokic (wrist), Will Barton (knee), Aaron Gordon (hamstring), and Monte Morris (elbow) ruled out Sunday
Nikola Jokic (wrist), Will Barton (knee), Aaron Gordon (hamstring), and Monte Morris (elbow) ruled out Sunday. The Nuggets will elect to rest most of their key players Sunday night opening up potential value options for the DFS players. Demarcus Cousins will need to be considered as he projects as a great option any time Jokic is out.
As reported by: Mike Singer via Twitter Other tagged players: Will Barton, Aaron Gordon, Monte MorrisD'Angelo Russell (illness) ruled out Sunday; Patrick Beverley (ankle) will play
D’Angelo Russell (illness) has been ruled out Sunday, while Patrick Beverley (ankle) will play. Minnesota seems like they will play a relatively competitive lineup/rotation with only Russell and KAT expected to miss as of now. Malik Beasley will likely stay in the starting five with Russell once again out and Naz Reid is the likely candidate to draw the start in KAT’s stead.

Lineup Update: Celtics will start Smart, Brown, Tatum, Horford, and Theis on Sunday. The Celtics will stick with their usual starting five on Sunday.
Lineup Update: Raptors will start Brooks, Trent Jr., Anunoby, Barnes, and Birch on Sunday
Lineup Update: Raptors will start Brooks, Trent Jr., Anunoby, Barnes, and Birch on Sunday. Armoni Brooks and Khem Birch will enter the starting lineup for the Raptors with FVV and Siakam ruled out. Birch should still see his usual high teen minutes with Brooks potentially seeing somewhere in the 20s.
Lineup Update: Pistons will start Hayes, Jackson, Bey, Livers, and Stewart on Sunday
Lineup Update: Pistons will start Hayes, Jackson, Bey, Livers, and Stewart on Sunday. Jackson will enter the starting lineup with Cade Cunningham ruled out. Jackson should benefit from an increase in minutes while Killian Hayes and Saddiq Bey should shoulder most of the offensive load.
Lineup Update: Heat will start Mulder Oladipo, Robinson, Highsmith, and Yurtseven on Sunday
Lineup Update: Heat will start Mulder Oladipo, Robinson, Highsmith, and Yurtseven on Sunday. The Heat will elect for a rest night for most of their key players meaning some value options will open up for DFS players. Yurtseven looks to be a good option at center coming in at the minimum.
