Update: Troy Daniels available to play Sunday, Josh Jackson questionable
The Suns just put out a update out on Troy Daniels and Josh Jackson. It was reported earlier that both will try and play. Well, now Daniels will be available to play tonight, but Jackson is questionable according to the Suns.
As reported by: Suns via Twitter
Marquese Chriss ruled out Sunday, Troy Daniels and Josh Jackson will try to play
Marquese Chriss will miss tonight’s against the Warriors with an hip injury. Dragan Bender, Alex Len, and Alec Peters will all pick up the void left by Chriss. Troy Daniels and Josh Jackson will try and give it a go tonight.
As reported by: Gerald Bourguet via twitter Ricky Rubio will start Sunday
Ricky Rubio will start Sunday against the Lakers. Rubio missed last game from a hamstring injury he suffered on Thursday. With Rubio playing, Royce O’Neale will lose his value. Rubio is only a GPP play for tonight.
As reported by: Utah Jazz via twitter DeMar DeRozan and Jonas Valanciunas ruled out Sunday, Terrence Ross will play
The Raptors will rest DeMar DeRozan and Jonas Valanciunas Sunday against the Magic. Not one player really benefits from this, but rather a host of players. Norman Powell, Delon Wright, and CJ Miles should all see some extra minutes with DeRozan. While, Jackob Poeltl, Paskal Siakam, and Lucas Nogueira should see extra minutes without Valanciunas. Terrence Ross will play tonight for the Magic, he has been out for a long period of time
As reported by: Josh Robbins via Twitter Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball ruled out Sunday
Both Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma will miss Sunday’s game versus the Jazz. Ball has been nursing a knee injury and Kuzma suffered a knee injury on Friday. Josh Hart benefits most from Kuzma missing. He is coming off a very nice game on Friday night, in which he finished with 30 FDP. Alex Caruso and Tyler Ennis will continue to split the minutes without Ball.
As reported by: Eric Woodyard via twitter Andre Iguodala ruled out Sunday
As expected Andre Iguodala will rest today for the Warriors against the Suns. Shaun Livingston, who rested yesterday, will play tonight. None of this news really has any DFS impact.
As reported by: Mark Medina via twitter This Young Big Man Looks to Continue Putting Up Points Tonight
I’m not normally inclined to pick Centers facing Utah and Rudy Gobert, but with the pickings slim at the Center position tonight, Ivica Zubac could be worth a look at a low price. The young Lakers big man has averaged about 21 FanDuel/DraftKings points over his last five games, and at near minimum price he should be a bargain play to consider on all sites.
This Value Guard Should See Minutes and Shots Tonight
We don’t exactly know who will be in and who will be out of the lineup for Phoenix tonight, but with Devin Booker, T.J. Warren, Elfrid Payton, Troy Daniels, Tyson Chandler, and Alan Williams all doubtful or out, and Josh Jackson and Marquese Chriss questionable, whoever makes the court tonight will have minutes and shots available. Shaquille Harrison is coming of a 13-point, 5-assist, 2 steal game and has averaged 26 minutes over his last two games and 22 over his last five. At only $4000 on FanDuel, $3700 on DraftKings, and $7500 on FantasyDraft, Harrison has the opportunity for a big score at a value price tonight against Golden State.
This Guard Should See Usage Bump Tonight
We’re at the point in the season where lineups, minutes, and usage are a bit hard to guess, but with Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, and Brandon Ingram all either out or looking unlikely to play for the Lakers tonight, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is looking at a good bet for a usage bump tonight. With those three off the court over the past four weeks, Caldwell-Pope sees a 12.4% increase in usage (30% total) and averages almost a fantasy point per minute. Tonight the Lakers are at home taking on a Utah team that is difficult to attack inside but can be vulnerable to guards. At $6100 on FanDuel and DraftKings and $11,700 on FantasyDraft, Caldwell-Pope looks like a good bargain with upside tonight.
Guerschon Yabusele (knee) ruled out today against Atlanta
Yabusele has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against Atlanta. Practically a meaningless game for Boston, they’ve already ruled out Marcus Morris, and coach Brad Stevens stressed he wants to limit the minutes of his players for the remainder of the regular season.
As reported by: Twitter
Marcus Morris ruled out, Yabusele doubtful
Marcus Morris (rest) will not play Sunday against Atlanta. Guerschon Yabusele (left knee soreness) is doubtful.
As reported by: Twitter Other tagged players: Guerschon Yabusele Shaun Livingston ruled out Saturday, Andre Iguodala available to play
Shaun Livingston won’t play Saturday night against the Pelicans, while Andre Iguodala is available to play tonight. According to Steve Kerr it will be the opposite tomorrow with Livingston playing and Iguodala sitting. Iguodala isn’t a recommended DFS option.
As reported by: Mark Medina via Twitter Damian Lillard will play Saturday
Damian Lillard will return tonight against the Spurs after missing the last game with an injury. With Lillard playing this hurts the value of Shabazz Napier and Wade Baldwin. CJ McCollum also sees a bump down in usage.
As reported by: Brooke Olzendam via twitter Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston questionable Saturday
Both Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston are questionable Saturday against the Pelicans. Steve Kerr said that it’s likely one of them will rest on Saturday, and the other will rest tomorrow.
As reported by: Connor Letorneau via twitter Eric Gordon ruled out Saturday
Eric Gordon will miss his second straight game Saturday against the Thunder with a foot injury. Gerald Green benefits most without Gordon off the court. Joe Johnson and P.J.Tucker should also see a couple more minutes tonight.
