Dewayne Dedmon available to play Wednesday
Dewayne Dedmon is available to play tonight against the Heat. He was a late scratch in the Hawks game last night, because of that he’s an easy fade tonight. With Dedmon likely to play, Miles Plumlee value takes a hit.

Andre Drummond listed as starter Wednesday
Andre Drummond will play Wednesday against the 76ers . Drummond missed shoot-around this morning with an illness. Drummond is an elite level play tonight, if the Pistons lose they’re out of the playoffs. With Drummond playing, this hurts the value of Eric Moreland.
As reported by: Rob Beard via Twitter Dallas starters: (Barea, Harrison, Finney-Smith, McDermott, Motley), Salah Mejri available to play
Salah Mejri is available to play tonight against the Magic, he was listed as questionable. With him not starting, he is only a GPP play for tonight, and there’s still a chance he doesn’t play tonight. Johnathan Motley is starting tonight and makes for a nice value play. J.J. Barea remains the safest player to target on the Mavs tonight.
As reported by: Chuck Cooperstein via Twitter James Ennis will play Wednesday
James Ennis will play Wednesday against the 76ers after missing the last game with an injury. Ennis coming back has real no fantasy impact, he will likely play between 15-18 minutes tonight.
As reported by: Keith Langlois via twitter James Johnson, Goran Dragic, Dwyane Wade all ruled out Wednesday
The Miami Heat will rest James Johnson, Goran Dragic, and Dwyane Wade tonight against the Hawks. With this news, all the Heat players should be in play tonight. Tyler Johnson will run the point guard duties, and Kelly Olynyk should get an uptick in minutes without Johnson. Bam Adebayo could also crack the rotation. Wayne Ellington, Josh Richardson, and Justice Winslow will get all the minutes they can handle on the wing
As reported by: Tom D'Angelo via Twitter Other tagged players: Goran Dragic, Dwyane Wade DeAndre Bembry ruled out Wednesday, Dewayne Dedmon a game-time decision
DeAndre Bembry will miss tonight’s game against the Heat with an abdominal injury. Not much fantasy impact here, either Antonius Cleveland or Andrew White will enter the rotation for the Hawks. Dewayne Dedmon will be a game-time decision tonight, he was a late scratch yesterday.
As reported by: BT Rowland via Twitter Nikola Vucevic ruled out Wednesday
The Magic will rest Nikola Vucevic Wednesday against Dallas. Khem Birch and Bismack Biyombo will combine to fill Vucevic’s role. Birch is coming off a 35 FDP point game last night against the Knicks. Marreese Speights could also crack the rotation. With Vucevic out, Aaron Gordon will get a big bump up in usage.
As reported by: Josh Robbins via Twitter Manu Ginobili ruled out Wednesday
The Spurs will rest Manu Ginobili tonight versus the Lakers on the back-to-back. Ginobili being out really doesn’t have a whole lot of DFS impact, but Bryn Forbes and Dejounte Murray should see some extra minutes.
As reported by: Michael C. Wright via Twitter Terry Rozier listed questionable Wednesday, Shane Larkin listed out
Terry Rozier is listed as questionable for tonight’s game against Toronto, while Shane Larkin is listed as out – both players missed last night’s game. If Rozier is able to go tonight, he should get all the usage he can handle. With Larkin out, Kadeem Allen will see some extra playing time. Allen is only playable if Rozier is out also tonight.
As reported by: Boston Celtics via Twitter Going Right Back to the Well
The Sixers’ stack was well on its way to paying dividends last night, but the game got out of hand and the starters weren’t needed in the fourth quarter. J.J. Redick only needed 23 minutes to rack up 29 fantasy points. Assuming tonight’s game stays competitive, I’m expecting him to see around 30 minutes of action in an exploitable matchup against the Pistons. The Sixers have an implied total of 109 points, so I will be going right back to the Philly stack in all formats.
Hit the Lock Button
When Ersan Ilyasova is good, he is really good. I remember back when he was on the Bucks and posting 20-20 games. He’s been on a number of teams over the last few years, but seems to have found a home in Philadelphia. He’s been tremendous over the last few games and should see minutes in the 30s tonight with both Joel Embiid and Dario Saric out. Dollar for dollar, he’s my favorite play on the board.
Don't be Fooled by Last Night's Game Log
Ben Simmons was dominant yesterday against the Nets, but the Sixers were up by so much that they didn’t need his services in the fourth quarter. Many will overreact and avoid Simmons tonight, even though he sets up well against the Pistons. Despite missing Joel Embiid and Dario Saric, the Sixers have an implied total over 109 points. Simmons is my favorite superstar when you factor in salaries and hopefully he’ll come at lower ownership than the did last night.
Dewayne Dedmon questionable Wednesday
Dewayne Dedmon is questionable Wednesday against the Heat with a rib injury. Dedmon was a late scratch last night. Miles Plumlee started for Dedmon and finished with 19.6 FDP in 33 minutes of action.
As reported by: KL Chouinard via Twitter Andre Drummond questionable Wednesday
The Pistons could be without Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin on Wednesday against the 76ers. Griffin is already out, and Drummond is questionable with an illness. Drummond didn’t go through the Pistons shootaround this morning. If Drummond can’t go, Eric Moreland will likely start. Last game Drummond got ejected, Moreland came in and played 23 minutes and finished with 28.5 FDP.
As reported by: Rod Beard via Twitter Jonathan Isaac ruled out Wednesday, Jonathon Simmons remains out
Jonathan Isaac will miss his second straight game Wednesday, because of an ankle injury. Jonathon Simmons will miss his eight straight game because of an injured wrist. Mario Hezonja remains the main beneficiary of these injuries. He has gone for 27.4 & 32.7 FDP in his last two games. A sneaky play tonight could be Jamel Artis. Last night, Artis played 32 minutes and finished with 29.2 FDP.
