Willie Cauley-Stein and De’Aaron Fox now probable Sunday
Willie Cauley-Stein and De’Aaron Fox were questionable, but now both have been upgraded to probable for today’s game versus the Nuggets. Stein had missed the last four games, with an back injury. While, Fox missed last game with a back injury. Both players aren’t viable cash options for today, but could make nice GPP options. Kosta Koufos and Frank Mason lose their value with this news.
As reported by: Sean Cunningham via Twitter Other tagged players: De'Aaron Fox David Nwaba will start for Justin Holiday on Sunday
Justin Holiday has started the last two games, but David Nwaba will be back in the starting lineup for the Bulls against Atlanta. Nwaba played between 22-24 minutes the last two games, but with him starting look for him to get between 28-30 minutes.
As reported by: Chuck Swirsky via Twitter Quinn Cook will start Sunday, Andre Iguodala a game-time decision
Quinn Cook will start for the Warriors today versus Minnesota after being questionable with an hand injury. Cook, who has been starting for Curry has been getting the minutes, but hasn’t been producing. For instance, last game he played 30 minutes, but finished under 10 FDP. He’s only in consideration for GPPs today. Andre Iguodala has missed the last two games, and will be a game-time decision on Sunday.
As reported by: Mark Medina via Twitter Dennis Schroder ruled out Sunday, Isaiah Taylor will start
Dennis Schroder won’t play Sunday against the Bulls, with an ankle injury. Isaiah Taylor, who has been playing really well lately will start for Schroder. Last time, Schroder was out, Taylor played 25 minutes and finished with 13 points and 7 assists. He makes for one of the top value plays on this slate. Kent Bazemore and Tauren Price will see a bump up in usage without Schroder. Josh Magette will get the back-up point guard minutes.
As reported by: KL Chouinard via Twitter Enes Kanter ruled out Sunday
Enes Kanter was a late scratch Sunday due to back spasms. Kyle O’Quinn should enter the stating lineup, and becomes the top value play at center on this slate. Last time, Kanter missed a game, O’Quinn started and played 25 minutes. He finished that game with 25.1 FDP points. Luke Kornet should also get a good amount of minutes today. Isaiah Hicks might also enter the rotation for the Knicks today.
As reported by: Al Iannazzone via Twitter Lance Thomas ruled out Sunday
The New York Knicks will be without Lance Thomas Sunday against Toronto. Thomas is dealing with a thumb injury. Michael Beasley will re-enter the starting lineup for the Knicks. Thomas started ahead of Beasley for the last two games. Beasley makes for an intriguing GPP play on today’s slate.
As reported by: Marc Berman via Twitter Delon Wright and OG Anunoby ruled out Sunday
Both Delon Wright and OG Anunoby will miss Sunday’s game against the Knicks. Anunoby has been out for a while, and Wright will miss his second straight game. Norman Powell will once again likely start with Anunoby. Powell did play 31 minutes last game, but he finished with just 9.1 FDP. Fred VanVleet benefits most with Wright out.
As reported by: Eric Smith via Twitter Other tagged players: OG Anunoby Dennis Smith Jr. expected to play Sunday
Dennis Smith Jr. is expected to be back in the starting lineup for the Mavericks on Sunday against the Rockets. Smith Jr. missed Saturday’s game as a precaution, so he should be full go tonight. He’s only a GPP option today. With Smith Jr. back, this hurts the value of Yogi Ferrell and J.J. Barea.
As reported by: Chuck Cooperstein via Twitter Lance Thomas a game-time decision Sunday, Courtney Lee will play off bench
Lance Thomas is a game-time decision today against the Raptors, he is dealing with a thumb issue. Thomas has started the last two games, and played 33 minutes last time out. If he is unable to go, look for Michael Beasley to re-enter the starting lineup. Courtney Lee has missed the last two games, because of personal reasons, but he will return on Sunday. Lee will come off the bench against the Raptors, he isn’t a DFS target for today.
As reported by: Al Iannazzone via Twitter Other tagged players: Courtney Lee Pau Gasol will play Saturday
Gasol will play Saturday night against the Thunder, after missing last game with an shoulder injury. Gregg Popovich wasn’t sure yet, if Gasol would start or come off the bench. Gasol is only in play for GPPs tonight. With Gasol playing it hurts the value of Davis Bertans.
As reported by: Royce Young via Twitter Terrance Ferguson ruled out Saturday
Terrance Ferguson will miss Saturday’s game with a head injury. Ferguson wasn’t playing a lot of minutes, so him being out, has little DFS impact. Josh Huestis and Cory Brewer will each get a couple more minutes with Ferguson out.
As reported by: Erik Horne via Twitter Dennis Smith Jr. ruled out for Saturday
Dennis Smith Jr. has been ruled out due to knee soreness which apparently popped up after the Mavs last game, and he was listed as questionable in the team’s game notes this morning. With Wesley Matthews likely to return, J.J. Barea and Yogi Ferrell will handle PG duties with Kyle Collinsworth likely to work his way into the rotation. Barea is a very intriguing tournament target and Ferrell becomes a value option industry wide due to the minutes bump.
As reported by: Bryan Gutierrez
Hassan Whiteside ruled out Saturday
Hassan Whiteside will miss Saturday’s game versus the Wizards with an hip injury. Bam Adebayo receives the biggest boost with Whiteside out. Along with Davis from Memphis, Adebayo is a top value play on this four game slate. Kelly Olynyk and James Johnson will also see an uptick in minutes tonight.
As reported by: Miami Heat via Twitter Devin Booker ruled out Saturday
Devin Booker will miss Saturday’s game against the Hornets, with an arm injury. The Suns will really be shorthanded, besides Booker, TJ Warren and Josh Jackson are also out. Davon Reed, Shaq Harrison, and Troy Daniels will eat up all the minutes they can on the wing. All three are strong value plays on this slate. Elfrid Payton will get a crazy usage bump with all the Suns injuries.
