Daniel Theis (trade pending) ruled out Sunday

Trae Young (hip) and Delon Wright (hip) available to play Sunday

Trae Young (hip) and Delon Wright (hip) available to play Sunday against the Boston Celtics. Both were listed as probable on the injury report so it’s not surprising that both players will be available. Both should see their normal run with Trae Young expected to start and see a heavy workload and Wright should see his usual guard minutes off the bench.

LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and Anthony Davis available Saturday; Lakers will start Westbrook, Bradley, Johnson, James, Davis

Lakers will start Westbrook, Bradley, Johnson, James, Davis on Saturday against the Golden State Warriors. Westbrook, LeBron, and Davis will all start and should see their usual run despite being listed on the injury report. Avery Bradley will draw the start over Malik Monk as HC Frank Vogel has stated that he will do this from time to time depending on the opposing guard matchup. LeBron, Davis, and Westbrook should carry the bulk of the offensive load for the Lakers tonight.

Lineup Update: Bulls will start Dosunmu, White, Brown Jr., DeRozan, Vucevic on Saturday. Coby White and Troy Brown Jr will enter the starting lineup for Zach LaVine and Javonte Green who have been ruled out. DeRozan and Vucevic see large usage rate increases with LaVine off the court and should be considered in DFS contests.

Lineup Update: Nets will start Irving, Mills, Brown, Edwards, Griffin on Saturday. Bruce Brown will enter the starting lineup for Cam Thomas, Thomas should still see a decent amount of run off the bench after having a great game last time out.

PJ Tucker (knee) will start Saturday; Tyler Herro available

As expected, both PJ Tucker and Tyler Herro will be available Saturday for the Miami Heat’s matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Tucker will start and should see his normal run while Herro will be the Heat’s top bench player. Neither projects particularly well at their current price on this big of a slate and likely don’t need to be considered in DFS contests.

Nikola Vucevic (hip) listed available to play Saturday; Javonte Green (foot) listed out

Nikola Vucevic (hip) has been listed available to play Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, while Javonte Green (foot) has been listed out. With both LaVine and Green out, Coby White and Troy Brown Jr. should draw the start for the Bulls. DeMar DeRozan and Vucevic see a large usage rate increase with LaVine off the court and should shoulder most of the offense for Chicago. They should be considered in most DFS formats.

Lineup Update: Clippers will start Jackson, Mann, Morris, Batum, Zubac on Saturday. Terance Mann will enter the starting lineup for Norman Powell who is out with a toe injury.

LeBron James (knee) and Russell Westbrook (back) both expected to play Saturday

LeBron James (knee) and Russell Westbrook (back) are both expected to play Saturday against the Golden State Warriors. Both LeBron and Westbrrok should be in line to start and see their normal run. This could limit the upside of Anthony Davis who sees an increase in production with LeBron and/or Westbrook off the floor.

Lineup Update: Cavs will start Garland, Okoro, Wade, Mobley, Allen on Saturday. Garland will return to the starting lineup sending Caris LeVert to the bench. LeVert will likely lead the second unit and still play a good chunk of minutes.

With Powell out, Terance Mann should draw the start for the Clippers with Luke Kennard and Amir Coffey likely to see more guard minutes off the bench.
