DFS Alerts

Jazz will start Mitchell, Bogdanovic, House, O’Neale, Whiteside on Saturday. Whiteside will draw the start for Rudy Gobert who was a late addition to the injury report tonight. Whiteside can be considered as one of the better value options at center on tonight’s slate. Danuel House Jr. will remain in the starting lineup with both Trent Forrent and Mike Conley ruled out. He can also be considered as a value option.

Kings will start Fox, Holiday, Barnes, Lyles, Jones on Saturday. As reported earlier, Damian Jones will get the start at center tonight with Sabonis out. He should be considered as a value play at center tonight.

Lineup Update: Nuggets will start Morris, Barton, Reed, Jeff Green, Jokic on Saturday. Davon reed will get the start for the Denver Nuggets tonight with Aaron Gordon ruled out. Davon Reed should see a decent amount of run tonight but does not project well enough for serious consideration in DFS contests. There are a multitude of value options on tonight’s slate that project better.

Jeremy Lamb (hip) and Maurice Harkless (ankle) available to play Saturday

Jeremy Lamb (hip) and Maurice Harkless (ankle) will be available to play Saturday against the Utah Jazz. Lamb should remain in his usual role as a bench guard while Harkless is currently outside of the rotation. With many value options elsewhere on the slate in better environments, Lamb does not need to be considered in DFS contests tonight.

Lineup Update: Raptors will start Barnes, Armoni Brooks, Trent Jr., Siakam, Achiuwa on Saturday. Armoni Brooks and Precious Achiuwa will enter the starting lineup for the Raptors. Brooks will make his first tart in a Raptors uniform and should see some run at the guard position. It is difficult to know how Nurse will elect to implement him in this spot. Achiuwa will likely see some more run as a starter sending Khem birch to the bench unit.

Lineup Update: Blazers will start Williams, Hart, Elleby, Watford, Eubanks on Saturday. Watford will once again get the start at the four for the Blazers as they continue to be severely undermanned due to injury.

Bones Hyland (knee) active Saturday; Zeke Nnaji (knee) ruled out

Bones Hyland (knee) will be active Saturday against the Toronto Raptors, while Zeke Nnaji (knee) has been ruled out. Hyland should continue to see his normal backup guard minutes, though the return of Will Barton could limit how many he plays. Nnaji wasn’t expected to play a major role for the Nuggets tonight as the bulk of the big man minutes should be played by Jokic, Jeff Green, JaMychal Green, and DeMarcus Cousins.

Rudy Gobert (foot) ruled out Saturday

Rudy Gobert (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Sacramento Kings. With Gobert ruled out, Hassan Whiteside should start and see the bulk of the center mnutes with juancho Hernangomez available to back him up. Whiteside will need to be considered in most formats at just 4.2K on DK.

Lineup Update: Warriors will start Curry, Poole, Thompson, Wiggins, Looney on Saturday. Jordan Poole will get the start over Moses Moody tonight likely meaning more minutes for Poole and less for Moody. This was likely done due to how the Warriors matchup with the Bucks.

Lineup Update: Spurs will start Jones, Richardson, Vassell, McDermott, Collins on Saturday. Tre Jones and Zach Collins will enter the starting lineup for the Spurs tonight along with Josh Richardson remaining in the starting five. All of these players are worth considering on DK as they are underpriced for their expected role tonight.

Damian Jones will start on Saturday; Richaun Holmes available off the bench

Damian Jones will start on Saturday at center against the Utah Jazz. Jones is coming off a game where he saw 37 minutes at center and will be in line to see another good workload tonight. It will likely be a closer split with Holmes now that he is back but Jones will get the start and likely the bulk of the minutes. Joes will be worth considering at his price point of 4.2K on DK.

Lineup Update: Pacers will start Haliburton, Duarte, Hield, Brissett, Jackson on Saturday. Chris Duarte will enter the starting lineup for the Pacers with Malcolm Brogdon ruled out. Duarte will likely pick up a few more minutes running with the starters and can be considered as a better play.

PJ Tucker (knee) available Saturday; Heat will start Lowry, Vincent, Robinson, Tucker, Adebayo

PJ Tucker (knee) will be available Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Tucker should be expected to remain in his usual role but could se a few less minutes with Markieff Morris available for the first time in 4 months. The Heat will start Lowry, Vincent, Robinson, Tucker, Adebayo. Vincent will enter the starting lineup for Jimmy Butler and should see a decent amount of run.

Fred VanVleet (knee) listed out Saturday

Fred VanVleet (knee) has been listed out for Saturday’s game against the Denver Nuggets. VanVleet has started and played the last two games for the Raptors but on the second night of a back-to-back he will be rested as he continues to deal with a knee injury. With VanVleet out, the Raptors will likely elect to go with Scottie Barnes and Pascal Siakam running the point and add Chris Boucher to the starting lineup as they have done in the past. Siakam and Barnes will both benefit from more playmaking opportunities while Gary Trent will be expected to see more usage. Dalano Blanton could be called upon to pick up some point guard minutes off the bench but would still not be worth considering in DFS contests at this time.

Anthony Edwards (knee) will play Saturday; Timberwolves will start Russell, Beasley, Edwards, McDaniels, Towns

Anthony Edwards (knee) will play Saturday against the Miami Heat after being listed as probable earlier in the day. Edwards should see his normal run and will start for Minnesota. The Timberwolves will start Russell, Beasley, Edwards, McDaniels, Towns. Beasley and McDaniels will enter the starting lineup for Patrick Beverley and jarred Vanderbilt who were ruled out earlier in the day. D’Angelo Russell will shift to the point guard position.
