Nicolas Laprovittola will start for Tony Parker (rest) tonight
In addition to Ginobili and Gasol resting, Tony Parker is expected “to suit up but not expected to play much” according to Spurs beat reporter, Michael Wright. Laprovittola and Patty Mills will handle the Point Guard duties and both make for an interesting option in tournaments. That being said, this game at Dallas has the lowest over/under of the slate and there are better spots to look for value on this 10-game slate.

Brandon Ingram starting for the injured Nick Young
Brandon Ingram is getting the start tonight against Chicago for the injured Nick Young. Ingram has seen 25 or more minutes in five straight games and should see a slight bump being placed into the starting role. He is a very streaky shooter and while his shot has been struggling lately, the big game is coming soon. He is a solid play in all formats especially over on FanDuel at just $3,800.
As reported by: Mark Medina Manu Ginobili and Pau Gasol (rest) both ruled out tonight
No Spurs rested last night so this was to be expected on the second leg of a back-to-back. The Spurs are a heavy favorite at Dallas tonight and Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge will carry the load on offense. Danny Green and Kyle Anderson could see a few extra minutes but neither of them are worth a look on this 10-game slate. If you’re looking for a punt tonight, the Memphis players should provide a much safer floor.
As reported by: Mike Wright Other tagged players: Pau Gasol, Kawhi Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge, Danny Green, Kyle Anderson Andrew Harrison starting for the injured Mike Conley
With Mike Conley sidelined for an undetermined length of time, Andrew Harrison and Wade Baldwin will share Point Guard duties with Harrison getting the start tonight. He should see minutes in the upper 20s to low 30s and is a strong cash game play due to his cheap price tag across the industry.
As reported by: Blake Murphy 76ers-Kings game will be delayed for an undetermined period of time
The media is reporting that the Kings/76ers game is being delayed for an undetermined amount of time due to condensation on the floor. Players have been told to not warm up yet. NBA officials will ultimately decide if the game is postponed or not but for now it is in a delay.

Dwyane Wade will play tonight for Bulls
Wade told reporters that he will play in tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers after undergoing a procedure on one of his teeth yesterday. With Wade probable to see his normal allotment of minutes, the likelihood of a blowout increases substantially against this shorthanded Lakers squad. This is a significant bump down to the fantasy outlook of Jimmy Butler as a cash option, though he is still a fine option in tournaments given the plus matchup.

As reported by: Keith Pompey Other tagged players: DeMarcus Cousins Julius Randle WILL play tonight with no minutes restriction
Randle will play in tonight’s game against the Atlanta Hawks after being listed as probable with a hip pointer that has kept him sidelined for the three of Lakers’ previous four games. Randle will reportedly have his minutes restriction lifted for tonight’s contest but is a tough sell as a viable option on the main slate given the difficult matchup with the Hawks frontcourt defense. The rest of the Lakers big men rotation become secondary tournament plays at best.
As reported by: Mark Medina on Twitter Ian Mahinmi OUT tonight for Wizards
Not a big impact other than shoring up a few extra minutes for Washington bigs but Mahinmi will miss another game tonight.
As reported by: Candace Buckner on Twitter Joakim Noah OUT for Knicks tonight; Kyle O'Quinn to start
Noah is dealing with some soreness after spraining his ankle in Monday’s game with Oklahoma City, and he’ll miss at least tonight’s game in order to heal. In his absence, Kyle O’Quinn will draw the start, but he’s still a relatively low upside play even as a member of the starting unit – he’s played more than 20 minutes just once this season (including his previous starts) and has exceeded 20 FPs just twice on the year. Guillermo Hernangomez should see some extra run off the bench, but he’s also a very low-upside DFS play. If you are targeting the Knicks front-court, Kristaps Porzingis is still your guy.

There are irregular high exterior temperatures causing condensation issues on the court that have caused concerns as to whether the Philadelphia-Sacramento game will play or not. We’ll keep an eye on this but be prepared to have a backup plan for any 76ers or Kings you are rostering.
As reported by: James Ham on Twitter Dwyane Wade a game-time decision still
Wade is going through a work out currently and Bulls Head Coach Fred Hoiberg stated they would see how he felt after warming up before making a determination. Local media believes he will play, but if he doesn’t look to Nikola Mirotic to get the start and become one of the top options (albeit high risk) of the slate.
As reported by: Vince Goodwill on Twitter Jae Crowder no longer on minutes restriction
Crowder will officially have his minutes restriction lifted for tonight’s game against the Detroit Pistons, though he played 32 minutes Monday, so the restriction seems to have already been nullified previously. Crowder’s fantasy value could take a slight hit with Al Horford returning from a one-game absence, but is generally a safe mid-range small forward option at relatively shallow position
As reported by: Jay King on Twitter Joel Embiid's minute limitation raised to 28 minutes
Embiid will FINALLY have his minutes restriction raised to 28 minutes for tonight’s game against the Sacramento Kings, an increase from the restriction of 24 minutes he has had throughout the first month of the season. Embiid was already a great mid-range center option around the industry before this news, but is now a truly elite play, as he owns an insane 40.3% usage rate while averaging 1.48 DraftKings and 1.35 FanDuel points per minute with Jerryd Bayless off the court this season. Speaking of, Bayless has already been ruled out for this game with a sore wrist that has bothered him a majority of the season. The one concern with Embiid is foul trouble going against DeMarcus Cousins, but he will assuredly play his full 28-minute allotment unless he actually fouls out of the game.
