DeAndre Bembry (personal) available to play tonight
Bembry is available to play in tonight’s game against the Brooklyn Nets after previously being ruled out due to personal reasons. The Hawks recently acquired Mike Dunleavy in a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers for Kyle Korver. However, Dunleavy will not be available to play in Tuesday’s contest. With Dunleavy unavailable, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Taurean Prince will handle a majority of the backup wing minutes, along with Bembry, for Atlanta on this evening.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson replacing Trevor Booker in the starting lineup
Booker will not play in tonight’s game against the Atlanta Hawks after previously being listed as questionable on the Nets injury report with a left hip contusion that he sustained in Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. With Anthony Bennett recently waived by Brooklyn, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will draw the start at power forward and has saw north of 22 minutes in the Net’s previous game. So, it’s realistic to believe that Hollis-Jefferson should see minutes in the high 20’s in this one, making him a viable punt option in tournaments, but there are seemingly better overall plays for cash games.
As reported by: Kl Chouinard Other tagged players: Trevor Booker Nicolas Batum and Cody Zeller ruled out; Jeremy Lamb and Roy Hibbert starting in their place
Batum and Zeller will not play in tonight’s game against the Houston Rockets due to a hyperextended right knee and illness respectively. Jeremy Lamb and Roy Hibbert will be inserted into the starting lineup in their place. With Batum and Zeller unavailable, Lamb, Frank Kaminsky, and Spencer Hawes become viable value options across the industry, while Lamb is close to a must play on FanDuel given his extremely inexpensive price tag.
As reported by: @Hornets Other tagged players: Cody Zeller, Jeremy Lamb, Roy Hibbert Serge Ibaka (shoulder) and Elfrid Payton (quad) questionable for Wednesday
Ibaka and Payton are questionable for tomorrow night’s game against the Los Angles Clippers due to a sore right shoulder and a right quad contusion respectively. Ibaka has yet to miss a game this season, so it’s difficult to predict what Orlando’s starting lineup will look like should he be ruled out, but Nikola Vucevic will be a surefire beneficiary regardless of starting status. As for Payton, he recently reentered the starting lineup in place of D.J. Augustin, meaning that Augustin would likely draw the start in his potential absence, while C.J. Watson would see a majority of backup point guard minutes.

Booker will not play in tonight’s game against the Atlanta Hawks after previously being listed as questionable on the Nets injury report with a left hip contusion that he sustained in Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. With Anthony Bennett recently waived by Brooklyn, Justin Hamilton will likely draw the start at power forward and has seen north of 22 minutes in two of the Nets’ last three games. It’s realistic to believe that Hamilton can see minutes in the high 20’s in this one, making him a viable punt option in tournaments, but there are seemingly better overall plays for cash games.
As reported by: Chris Vivalamore Tomas Satoransky (illness) ruled out for tonight
Satoransky will not play in tonight’s game against the Chicago Bulls due to an illness. Satoransky hasn’t seen the court for four consecutive games and his absence has little to no impact on the Washington rotation. If anything, there will be more minutes available for Trey Burke, Sheldon McClellan, and Marcus Thornton should this matchup with a depleted Bulls squad result in a blowout.
As reported by: Ben Standig Bulls Starters: Grant, MCW, McDermott, Gibson, Lopez
Mirotic has been ruled out for tonight’s game against the Washington Wizards due to illness. He will join Jimmy Butler and Dwyane Wade among the Bulls’ inactives, opening up even more value with the Chicago role players. Doug McDermott and and Jerian Grant will draw the starts in place of Butler and Wade, while Rajon Rondo will reportedly reenter the rotation as the backup point guard with the Bulls’ being shorthanded. Rondo is certainly worth a shot in tournaments on FanDuel, but remains a little overpriced on DraftKings given the built-in risk associated with his minutes.

As reported by: KC Johnson Other tagged players: Rajon Rondo Kyle Korver will be available tonight for the Cavs
Korver will be available to play in tonight’s game against the Utah Jazz after Mike Dunleavy finally passed his physical with the Atlanta Hawks, meaning Korver is officially cleared to make his Cavaliers debut. Before the trade was finalized, Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue already confirmed that DeAndre Liggins will remain in the starting lineup for his defensive prowess and Korver would come off the bench with the second unit. Korver is an easy avoid in all formats until we get a better idea of how Cleveland actually plans on utilizing him.
As reported by: Jason Lloyd Deyonta Davis (foot) questionable for Wednesday
Deyonta Davis (foot) is listed as questionable for the Grizzlies game against the Thunder. Even if Davis is active he is not a reliable DFS option. Marc Gasol, JaMychal Green, and Zach Randolph control the big man minutes.
As reported by: @Grizzlies Other tagged players: Marc Gasol, JaMychal Green, Zach Randolph Tobias Harris confirmed as the starter in place of Jon Leuer
Tobias Harris will return to the starting lineup tonight. Harris has started 27 games this season to varying degree but should be able to make salary-based expectations. There is a chance that he’ll have to deal with DeMarcus Cousins before the Kings go small and move Cousins to the center. This could lead to Harris getting in foul trouble. With so much value on the slate, Harris could easily go overlooked. Marcus Morris will also see a bump due to the fact that he’ll play with the second unit more.
As reported by: Rod Beard Other tagged players: Jon Leuer, Marcus Morris Zach LaVine (hip) questionable for Wednesday
Zach LaVine is simply dealing with a strained hip and it is not a serious issue. If LaVine misses the game, Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins would become elite options against the Rockets. Look for another update regarding the status of LaVine tomorrow.
As reported by: Jerry Zgoda Other tagged players: Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins Jon Leuer (knee) ruled out for tonight
Jon Leuer will not play against the Kings tonight. He is expected to miss multiple games due to the issue. No official starter has been named in place of Leuer at this time. One has to expect it will be Tobias Harris since he was a starter at the beginning of the season. He’s recently played well off the bench and it’s possible that Stan Van Gundy will use Stanley Johnson or another player to replace Leuer, keeping his rotation intact. We will post another update once we receive official word from the team.
As reported by: Rod Beard Other tagged players: Tobias Harris, Stanley Johnson Klay Thompson (rest) ruled out for tonight
Klay Thompson will not play tonight against the Heat. The Warriors likely want to get him some time off before they face Cavs, Thunder, and Rockets next week. He was dealing with an illness as well this past weekend so it’s likely that this also contributed to the decision to rest him. Patrick McCaw is expected start in place of Klay Thompson and is a viable option. Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Draymond Green are the primary beneficiaries in the absence of Thompson.
As reported by: @Warriors PR Other tagged players: Patrick McCaw, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Stephen Curry Derrick Rose "expected" to play tomorrow for Knicks.
The team announced that Rose has been fined for his surprise disappearing act for their game last night that shocked many in the DFS world. He has not been suspended, however, and the team expects him to play tomorrow night when they face the 76ers.
