Blazers will start Williams, Hart, Elleby, Watford, and Eubanks on Monday.
Blazers will start Williams, Hart, Elleby, Watford, and Eubanks on Monday. This is as expected. The Blazers are cheaper on FanDuel compared to DraftKings, and make for solid options over there.

Kris Dunn available for the Blazers on Monday.
Kris Dunn available for the Blazers on Monday. Dunn is on a 10-day contract and given the Blazers’ injury situation, he should find himself in the rotation tonight. He’s not impactful for DFS purposes but his addition does add another body to the mix.
As reported by: Jay Allen Lamar Stevens will start on Monday; Caris LeVert will be available off the bench and on a minutes restriction.
Lamar Stevens will start on Monday; Caris LeVert will be available off the bench and on a minutes restriction. Stevens will start for the injured Dean Wade giving him some punt appeal, but it’s probably not needed on this slate with the Clippers projecting as better value. With LeVert on an unknown minutes restriction, he’s best limited to large field GPPs only in my opinion.
As reported by: Chris Fedor Other tagged players: Caris LeVert Clippers will start Mann, Coffey, Kennard, Batum and Zubac on Monday.
Clippers will start Mann, Coffey, Kennard, Batum and Zubac on Monday. With Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris out, the Clippers will roll with this starting lineup. Given the Clippers are down to just nine players, all five of the starters will pop in projections, with Coffey, Kennard, Batum and Mann being my personal favorites in that order. Zubac and Hartenstein will hold GPP appeal given the matchup against the Cavs where their size will be needed, while Brandon Boston projects as the top punt option on the slate at min price given he’ll operate as the team’s 6th man tonight.
As reported by: Tomer Azarly Caris LeVert (foot) and Lauri Markkanen (ankle) both available on Monday; Dean Wade (knee) ruled out.
Caris LeVert (foot) and Lauri Markkanen (ankle) both available on Monday; Dean Wade (knee) ruled out. LeVert’s return will add strength to a second unit that will be missing Rajon Rondo. With the Cavs facing a Clippers team resting several starters, it’s tough to target the Cavs outside of large-field GPPs.
As reported by: Chris Fedor Other tagged players: Lauri Markkanen, Dean Wade Devontae Cacok (heel) out on Monday.
Devontae Cacok (heel) out on Monday. There’s no DFS impact here with the Spurs not playing him regularly anyway.
As reported by: Paul Garcia Justin Holiday (illness) missed Monday's shootaround and remains questionable.
Justin Holiday (illness) missed Monday’s shootaround and remains questionable. This is mostly noteworthy with Jeremy Lamb also ruled out, so it potentially leaves the Kings thin on second unit depth. If Holiday can’t go, expect an uptick in minutes for Donte DiVincenzo.
As reported by: James Ham Jeremy Lamb (personal) out on Monday.
Jeremy Lamb (personal) out on Monday. With Lamb out and Justin Holiday still questionable, expect more minutes to flow to Holiday if he can suit up and Donte DiVincenzo in the second unit.
As reported by: James Ham Draymond Green (back) expects to be on a 20-23 minute restriction for the next week.
Draymond Green (back) expects to be on a 20-23 minute restriction for the next week. Given this restriction, he’s mainly out of DFS consideration for me until he can fully ramp up and play a normal workload.
As reported by: Kendra Andrews LeBron James (knee) questionable on Monday; Malik Monk (shoulder) and Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) both probable.
LeBron James (knee) questionable on Monday; Malik Monk (shoulder) and Talen Horton-Tucker (ankle) both probable. LeBron was considered a rest candidate given this is the backend of a back-to-back, but the sinking Lakers lost by 29 points to the Suns last night and LeBron “only” played 30 minutes, so perhaps he’ll suit up tonight. Stay tuned for more updates as they come, as his potential absence would open up a ton of usage and salary relief.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Other tagged players: Malik Monk, Talen Horton-Tucker Aaron Wiggins (illness) out on Monday.
Aaron Wiggins (illness) out on Monday. With Wiggins out, we should see Theo Maledon continue to spot start. This likely leaves Lindy Waters as the team’s main backup guard in the second unit.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Reggie Jackson (rest), Marcus Morris (rest) and Robert Covington (personal) out on Monday.
Reggie Jackson (rest), Marcus Morris (rest) and Robert Covington (personal) out on Monday. Our projections team is expecting a starting lineup of Mann/Kennard/Coffey/Batum/Zubac. It’s not a great matchup against the Cavs but this will provide a ton of salary relief we can use for this slate.
As reported by: Tomer Azarly Other tagged players: Marcus Morris, Robert Covington John Collins (finger, foot) and Danilo Gallinari (Achilles) out Monday.
John Collins (finger, foot) and Danilo Gallinari (Achilles) out Monday. With both players out, this will leave the Hawks thin on big men depth. Our team is expecting Bogdan Bogdanovic to join the starting lineup now, making him a solid option now. CourtIQ shows when both Collins and Gallo have been off the court this season, Kevin Huerter sees a team-high +3% usage bump while Bogdan Bogdanovic sees a +2.5% usage bump.
As reported by: Chris Kirschner Other tagged players: Danilo Gallinari Andrew Wiggins (illness) questionable on Monday.
Andrew Wiggins (illness) questionable on Monday. This season when Wiggins has been off the court (along with Iguodala/Payton who are also out), CourtIQ shows that Jordan Poole sees a +2.2% usage bump and Klay Thompson gets a +1.8% usage bump. Moses Moody or Otto Porter could draw a spot start here if Wiggins can’t suit up.
As reported by: NBA Injury Report Danny Green (finger) probable on Monday.
Danny Green (finger) probable on Monday. Green’s return should bolster this 76ers bench. Note that neither James Harden or Joel Embiid were listed on the injury report on this backend game of a back-to-back, so for now we’re assuming they both play. If Harden gets ruled out, perhaps we see Green take on a larger role so it’s something to monitor.
