Frank Kamsinky confirmed as the starter in place of Cody Zeller
Frank Kaminsky will start once again with Cody Zeller out of the lineup. Kaminsky has started the last three games that Zeller has been out of the lineup and continues to increase his fantasy output. Kaminsky played 36 minutes against the Clippers on Saturday and scored 43.1 FanDuel points. He should be considered an elite punt option tonight against the 76ers. Miles Plumlee is being used as his backup but only played 12 minutes against the Clippers. Plumlee has yet to play over 20 minutes since joining the Hornets.

Meyers Leonard listed as the starting center for tonight's game against Atlanta
The Blazers are currently listing Meyers Leonard as their starting center but considering that the Blazers play in the last game of the slate, there is a chance that Leonard does not actually start. The Blazers have changed their starters multiple times from what was listed with Terry Stotts at the helm. Ed Davis is also a candidate to start but Leonard’s upside is much higher than that of Davis. The team will likely not have any updates for us before lineups lock and hopefully Leonard can stay out of foul trouble against Dwight Howard if he does indeed start.

The Pacers will be without Thaddeus Young for the 6th straight game tonight. They are facing the Spurs and Lavoy Allen is likely to start once again. Allen has seen his minutes consistently drop in his five straight and Kevin Seraphin is being used primarily as his backup. Allen carries much more risk than reward tonight and Seraphin only played eight minutes in their previous game. Al Jefferson has seen 17 minutes for the first time in almost a month and is probably the best option of the three. He’s a low-end play that has really only had strong performances against inferior opponents.

Cunningham will miss today’s game for the Pelicans due to personal reasons while Jones is considered a game-time decision with a thumb injury. Donatas Motiejunas could see some extra playing time if the Pelicans feel the need to go big against the Suns, especially if Jones sits as well.

Chicago Bulls injury report for Tuesday's game
The injury ravaged Bulls look as if they will have at least three players missing their game tomorrow as Dwyane Wade, Paul Zipser, and Nikola Mirotic are all doubtful to play. Add in a game-time decision for Jimmy Butler and it’s anyone’s guess who will be in the lineup for Chicago tomorrow. Michael Carter-Williams is an obvious beneficiary.
As reported by: K.C. Johnson on Twitter Other tagged players: Jimmy Butler, Paul Zipser, Nikola Mirotic Thabo Sefolosha remains out for Atlanta tonight
Sefolosha has been out for over two weeks – this is merely confirmation that he’ll remain out tonight against Portland.
As reported by: Chris Vivlamore on Twitter Klay Thompson and Shaun Livingston OUT tonight for Golden State
The Warriors are probably just being cautious with Thompson heading into the All-Star break as they will give him the night off with a minor arch injury. Patrick McCaw stands to benefit the most and will be a viable punt option in a game with a huge total. Andre Iguodala also should see a bit more playing time. Shaun Livingston is attending to the birth of his child and will also miss today’s game.
As reported by: Chris Haynes on Twitter Other tagged players: Shaun Livingston, Patrick McCoy Channing Frye will start for Kevin Love on Tuesday
Frye will be a top option on Tuesday’s slate with Love slated to miss that game with a knee injury. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Love not play until the team returns from the All-Star break.
As reported by: Fred McLeod on Twitter Other tagged players: Kevin Love Darrell Arthur, Kenneth Faried, and Danilo Gallinari all OUT for Denver tonight
Faried and Gallinari were expected to miss the game but Arthur is a new addition to the will not play list as he continues to struggle with a knee injury. Juancho Hernangomez is going to be a top value option on the slate with all the bodies missing for the Nuggets in a game that has a massive 240+ total.
As reported by: Chris Dempsey on Twitter Other tagged players: Darrell Arthur, Danilo Gallinari, Juancho Hernangomez Emmanuel Mudiay unlikely to play Monday night for Nuggets
The Denver point guard is listed as questionable but he told local media that he was unlikely to play today. Jameer Nelson would get the start and is a safe with limited upside option for DFS purposes. Given the huge total in their game tonight with Golden State, however, he is certainly worth consideration.
As reported by: Chris Dempsey on Twitter Other tagged players: Jameer Nelson Wilson Chandler's status for Denver tonight uncertain; missed shootaround
The Nuggets forward is fighting an illness and missed the team shootaround. He’s considered a game-time decision. If he can’t play it’s a boost to the value of Juancho Hernangomez who should see a significant increase in minutes if that were to happen.
As reported by: Harrison Wind on Twitter Other tagged players: Juancho Hernangomez Ryan Anderson cuts thumb; questionable for Wednesday for Houston
Anderson suffered a thumb injury at home on Sunday and made a visit to the emergency room. The team had an off day today and does not play until Wednesday. His status for that game is questionable right now – we’ll update you once we have more information after tomorrow’s practice.
As reported by: Jonathan Feigen on Twitter Deron Williams downgraded to questionable with illness tonight for Dallas
Williams missed the team shootaround this morning due to illness and has been downgraded to questionable for their game against Boston tonight. If he is unable to go, Yogi Ferrell would be in play as a DFS option facing a Celtics team that is 25th in point guard DvP.
As reported by: Earl Sneed on Twitter Other tagged players: Yogi Ferrell Jae Crowder will play tonight for Boston
The Celtics forward missed the teams last two games but will return to play tonight when his team faces the Dallas Mavericks. He’s an immediate option, especially with Jaylen Brown out of the mix.
As reported by: Adam Himmelsbach on Twitter Joel Embiid does not travel with Philadelphia for game tonight
The 76ers star rookie center is expected to be out through the All-Star break and will be out tonight when his team takes on the Charlotte Hornets. With Jahlil Okafor not traveling with the team due to an expected trade, Nerlens Noel will be one of the top options on the slate.
