Goran Dragic (health and safety protocols) out Wednesday; James Johnson (illness) questionable; Seth Curry (ankle) not listed on injury report

Goran Dragic (health and safety protocols) has been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the New York Knicks, while James Johnson (illness) has been listed questionable. Seth Curry (ankle) is not listed on the injury report and should be good to go tonight. With Curry back, Patty Mills should return to his role off the bench for the Nets, though he should still see elevated minutes with Goran Dragic out making him a better play than normal. James Johnson has been listed questionable and if he can’t go Kessler Edwards and LaMarcus Aldridge should cover his minutes, though neither would project to be a great DFS play.

Alex Caruso (back) now doubtful on Wednesday.

Alex Caruso (back) now doubtful on Wednesday. With Caruso looking doubtful, the Bulls could choose to keep Patrick Williams in the starting lineup.

Zach LaVine (knee), Javonte Green (quad), Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) and Matt Thomas (leg) all listed probable on Wednesday.

Zach LaVine (knee), Javonte Green (quad), Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) and Matt Thomas (leg) all listed probable on Wednesday. This is good news for LaVine, who missed last night’s game. Assuming LaVine is back, it makes DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic slightly less appealing options on tonight’s slate.

Lakers will start Westbrook, Monk, Bradley, Davis, Howard on Tuesday. The Lakers will run the same lineup as they did last game without LeBron. Both Westbrook and Anthony Davis see large increases without LeBron and are worth consideration in DFS contests tonight in a must win game for the Lakers.

Alex Len (back) ruled out Tuesday

Alex Len (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Len was not expected to play a major role tonight and might not have even cracked the rotation. Damian Jones should continue to see the bulk of the center minutes with the other available Kings bigs covering him when he needs a rest.

Pelicans will start McCollum, Jones, Ingram, Hayes, Hernangomez on Tuesday.

Willy Hernangomez will start for the Pelicans on Tuesday

With Valanciunas out, Willy Hernengomez will likely be tasked with starting at center and playing a good chunk of minutes. Hernangomez projects incredibly well and will be one of the better value plays on tonight’s slate at just 3.1K on DK.

Jonas Valanciunas (ankle) ruled out Tuesday

Jonas Valanciunas (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Sacramento Kings. With Valanciunas out, Willy Hernengomez will likely be tasked with starting at center and playing a good chunk of minutes. Hernangomez projects incredibly well and will be one of the better value plays on tonight’s slate at just 3.1K on DK.

Anthony Davis (foot) will play Tuesday

As expected, Anthony Davis (foot) will play Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns. With LeBron already ruled out, AD should see a tremendous bump in usage and should be considered a much better play. He is worth consideration at 9K on DK as the Lakers need to win this game to keep their play-in hopes alive.

Spurs will start Jones, Primo, Vassell, Johnson, Poeltl on Tuesday. With Dejounte Murray ruled out, Tre Jones will once again get the start at point guard and will be one of the better value options on the slate coming in at 4K on DK. Jones should be considered in most formats.

Lineup Update: Nuggets will start Morris, Barton, Rivers, Gordon, Jokic on Tuesday. Austin Rivers will get the start for Jeff Green who was ruled out minutes ago. Rivers is a poor FPM scorer so the increase in minutes he is expected to see shouldn’t affect his DFS value. Davon Reed and JaMychal Green could also be in line to see more minutes with Bryn Forbes expected to join the rotation after Coach Malone said he wanted to see him on the floor tonight.

Jeff Green (personal) ruled out Tuesday

Jeff Green (personal) has been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs. With Green out, Austin Rivers and Davon Reed should play larger roles for the Nuggets as well as JaMychal Green. It is worth noting that HC Mike Malone mentioned earlier in the day that he wanted to get Bryn Forbes out on the floor so expect him to see some minutes off the bench as well. From a DFS standpoint there is nothing really to be taken advantage of here.

Dillon Brooks (hip) ruled out Tuesday

As expected after being listed doubtful, Dillon Brooks (hip) has been ruled out Tuesday against the Utah Jazz. In his absence Ziaire Williams seems like the most probable candidate to oin the starting lineup though he is not expected to see full starter run. The majority of Brooks minutes should be split amongst the available bench players with no singular benefactor.

Caleb Martin (calf) and Markieff Morris (hip) listed available to play Tuesday

Caleb Martin (calf) and Markieff Morris (hip) listed available to play Tuesday as expected after it was reported that they would warm up with the intent to play. Martin and Morris will both be available off the bench, Morris should return to his normal role on the bench struggling to see real playing time outside of a blowout while Martin could see some extra rotation minutes with Kyle Lowry ruled out.

Lineup Update: Bulls will start Dosunmu, Caruso, DeRozan, Williams, Vucevic on Tuesday. Patrick WIlliams will enter the starting lineup for the Bulls with Zach LaVine ruled out.
