DFS Alerts
Andrew Bogut will play tonight for Mavericks
Mavericks Head Coach Rick Carlisle confirmed that Bogut will play tonight when they face the Clippers. It’s a tough match up against the defensive minded Clippers and DeAndre Jordan – Bogut is not a viable DFS option.

George Hill and Joe Johnson are both playing for Utah tonight
After a hot start Hill has been sidelined for more than two weeks with a thumb injury. He’ll return tonight against the Nuggets and is immediately in play (albeit with concerns about potential minute restrictions) facing a Denver team that is 28th in PG DvP. Johnson will also play but isn’t a viable DFS option due to limited (20 minutes or so) playing time.
As reported by: Andy Larsen on Twitter Other tagged players: Joe Johnson Kyle Korver OUT for Hawks tonight
Korver did not travel with the team for their game at Indiana tonight and is expected to join them for their next game in Utah. Thabo Sefolosha will get the start for Korver tonight and is in play as a lower mid-range option against a Pacers team that is middle of the pack (17th) in SG DvP.
As reported by: Chris Vivlamore on Twitter Other tagged players: Thabo Sefolosha Anthony Davis and Terrence Jones probable for Pelicans tonight
Davis left last night’s game early but returned in the 4th quarter. Him and Jones are both listed as probable to play tonight against the Timberwolves who are 11th in PF DvP. Davis always has the high upside to be a viable option but as usual carries the risk of leaving a game early.
As reported by: New Orleans Pelicans official Twitter feed Other tagged players: Terrence Jones Deron Williams OUT for Dallas tonight; Dirk Nowitzki likely to play
The Mavericks veteran PG had an MRI yesterday on his calf and stated he would not play today when Dallas takes on the Clippers. Nowitzki, however, appears likely to play. It’s a tough match up against a Los Angeles team that is tops in the league in fantasy points allowed and the Mavericks have been averaging a paltry 90.7 points per game thus far this season making Nowitzki an easy fade.
As reported by: Dwain Price on Twitter Other tagged players: Dirk Nowitzki Gerald Henderson and Richaun Holmes miss shootaround; both doubtful for tonight
The 76ers look as if they will be down a couple of key players in their rotation as Henderson and Holmes both missed the shootaround and are unlikely to play tonight when they take on the Memphis Grizzlies. Nik Stauskas benefits the most but he has to face the lockdown defense of Tony Allen making him a very high risk play.
As reported by: Keith Pompey on Twitter Other tagged players: Richaun Holmes, Nik Stauskas Paul George upgraded to probable for tonight
Updating our previous report where George was listed as questionable by the team for their game tonight against the Hawks – he has said he feels good enough to play on it and will play. It’s a slight downgrade to Glenn Robinson (who should still see time with C.J. Miles out). George has been streaky this season and on a huge slate like tonight and with him coming off an injury there are better options out there for your DFS lineups.
As reported by: Grant Afseth on Twitter C.J. Miles OUT tonight for Pacers
The Pacers have ruled Miles out in advance of their game tonight with the Hawks due to a sore left knee. Rodney Stuckey and Glenn Robinson will benefit the most from Miles’s absence with Robinson being the better play of the two as he’ll likely see more than the 20 or so minutes that Stuckey will be limited to.
As reported by: Indiana Pacers official Twitter feed Other tagged players: Rodney Stuckey, Glenn Robinson III Paul George questionable for Pacers tonight
The Pacers star forward has missed the last two games with an ankle injury and is questionable for their game tonight against Atlanta. Glenn Robinson has benefited the most from George’s absence and would be a viable value option if George was unable to play tonight. Jeff Teague also gets a bump in usage. Myles Turner is listed as probable and should play.
As reported by: Indiana Pacers official Twitter feed Other tagged players: Myles Turner, Glenn Robinson III Jae Crowder plans to play tonight for Boston
Crowder is set to return from his ankle injury tonight and should play barring any last minute setbacks. It’s a great match up against a Nets team that allows the most fantasy points to opposing teams and Crowder should come at lower ownership due to the injury concerns.
As reported by: Steve Bulpett on Twitter Mavericks injury report for today's game
The Mavericks have listed Devin Harris and J.J. Barea as out for their game tonight with the Clippers while Dirk Nowitzki, Deron Williams, and Andrew Bogut are all questionable. Of those three Nowitzki appears to be the most likely to play. We’ll update the status of those three later today after the team shootaround.
As reported by: Earl Sneed on Twitter Other tagged players: Deron Williams, Andrew Bogut, Devin Harris, J.J. Barea Jose Calderon confirmed as the starter in place of D'Angelo Russell
Jose Calderon will start in place of Russell tonight. Calderon is a viable DFS punt option that could see nearly 20 minutes tonight. Nick Young will start out by defending Russell Westbrook while Calderon gets the task of Victor Oladipo. Luke Walton wanted to keep his #1 ranked bench intact and will continue to use Jordan Clarkson and Lou Williams as the guard options. Clarkson will likely see more minutes than Williams due to the length of the Thunder backcourt. If Calderon struggles, Williams will be quickly used to take his place.

Julius Randle (hip) confirmed as the starter
Julius Randle has been confirmed the starter for tonight’s game against the Thunder. His injury could flare up at any time and it’s possible he could be limited with the Lakers playing again tomorrow. Expect Larry Nance to see a small bump in minutes with Randle ailing.
As reported by: Mike Trudell D'Angelo Russell (knee) ruled out for Wednesday
D’Angelo Russell will not travel with the team to Oakland for the game against the Warriors. We’re still waiting for an update on who will start tonight against the Thunder.
As reported by: Tania Ganguli Julius Randle (hip) listed as questionable for tonight
Julius Randle is questionable to play tonight due to a hip pointer. No official update has been provided at this time from the team. We would expect that Larry Nance would see a bump in minutes if Randle was unable to go or was limited. Stay tuned for another update.
