DFS Alerts

With Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo out Andre Iguodala and Precious Achiuwa will enter the starting lineup.

After being listed questionable all day Curry will be available and remain in the starting lineup. Despite Kelly Oubre also being available Kent Bazemore will remain in the starting lineup and Oubre will play off the bench according to coach Steve Kerr.

With the late news of Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris being ruled out Monday, Furkan Korkmaz and Mike Scott will join the starting lineup and Seth Curry will shift to point guard.

Domantas Sabonis and Jeremy Lamb out Monday; Doug McDermott available

Domantas Sabonis and Jeremy Lamb have been ruled out Monday while Doug McDermott is available when the Pacers take on the San Antonio Spurs. Sabonis and Lamb join Myles Turner who has already been ruled out for tonight’s matchup. This leaves the Pacers extremely thin at center meaning Goga Bitadze should draw the start, play considerable minutes and be considered a top value play. Oshae Brissett should also see some of the big man minutes and potentially Kelan Martin as well. Doug McDermott should see some increased run as he normally does when one of the Pacers starters is out. When we look at CourtIQ with Sabonis, Turner, and Lamb off almost every Pacer sees an increase in FPM the big winners being Justin Holiday (.59), T.J. McConnell (.31), and Doug McDermott (.16). It is also important to note that Malcolm Brogdon sees a massive 7% usage rate increase with these three off the floor.

Seth Curry and Dwight Howard available to play Monday

Lineup Update: Celtics will start Pritchard, Brown, Ojeleye, Tatum, Thompson on Monday

Marcus Smart (illness) ruled out Monday

Marcus Smart (illness) joins Kemba Walker as unavailable Monday against the Chicago Bulls. With both out we will likely see Payton Pritchard and/or Romeo Langford enter the starting lineup with Carsen Edwards and Aaron Nesmith potentially entering the rotation and backing them up. With Walker and Smart off the court almost every Celtic sees a bump in usage with the big winner being Jayson Tatum who sees a 3.5% usage rate bump and a .12 FPM bump. Other FPM beneficiaries include Tristan Thompson (.16), Semi Ojeleye (.13), and Romeo Langford (.15). With Smart and Walker missing Monday’s game the other Celtic guards could offer some value while Tatum becomes a top play.

The Wizards will run with a three guard lineup with Rui Hachimura out Monday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder

Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris ruled out Monday

Ben Simmons has been ruled out due to an illness and Tobias Harris will miss his second straight game due to a knee injury when the 76ers take on the Golden State Warriors Monday. Mike Scott (who got the start for Harris last game) and Matisse Thybulle are the most likely options to replace Harris in the starting lineup while Simmons could be replaced by Furkan Korkmaz with Seth Curry (if available) playing the point. With Harris and Simmons off the floor the main benefactor is Joel Embiid who sees a 10.7% usage bump and a massive ..61 FPM bump in a 88 minute sample size. Shake Milton also enjoys a sizeable .23 FPM bump when Harris and Simmons are off. With Harris and Simmons off the floor Embiid becomes an elite option in any DFS format and the other Philadelphia starters see their value increase.

Alex Len (ankle) will play Monday

Alex Len (ankle) will start at center and play Monday when the Wizards take on the Oklahoma City Thunder. Daniel Gafford and Robin Lopez who could have seen extended run if Len was ruled out will remain his backups. With all three centers healthy none are very viable in DFS. The wizards you should look to play remain Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal.

Lineup Update: Pistons will start Hayes, Josh Jackson, Bey, Tyler Cook, Stewart on Monday

Lineup Note: Raul Neto will start for Rui Hachimura on Monday; If Alex Len is ruled out Daniel Gafford will start

Kenrich Williams will enter the starting lineup with Lu Dort out.

Davis Bertans (personal) available Monday

As expected Davis Bertans (personal) will be available to play Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder after missing the last two games due to the birth of his child. He might see some extended run with Rui Hachimura out tonight.

Donte DiVincenzo (toe) will start Monday

Donte DiVincenzo (toe) will be available and start Monday when the Bucks take on the Phoenix Suns.
