DFS Alerts
George Hill misses shootaround; questionable for tonight
Hill has missed the last few games for the Jazz with a thumb injury and is questionable for the team when they take on the Magic tonight. Shelvin Mack and Dante Exum will continue to split the work at PG if Hill can’t play – neither are particularly attractive DFS options, even in a game against the somewhat deficient defense of Orlando.

Danny Green OUT for Spurs tonight; Tony Parker will play
Green made his season debut Wednesday night but will sit out tonight for rest purposes as the the team eases him back into playing shape. Tony Parker has missed the last few games and will play tonight – he’s a reasonable (with limited upside however) option at PG going against a Pistons team that is in the bottom third of the league in PG DvP.

Beal had an MRI that revealed no structural damage and he has been listed by the Wizards as questionable for their game tonight against the Cavaliers. He’s a risky, inconsistent option with a tough match up so he’s not a viable DFS option. If he is unable to go, however, it could open up minutes for Tomas Satoransky and Marcus Thornton – both of whom could be reasonable (but not great) value options.
As reported by: J. Michael on Twitter Other tagged players: Tomas Satoransky, Marcus Thornton Roy Hibbert will play today for Charlotte
He was listed as probable yesterday so this news isn’t surprising. He’ll cut into the minutes of Cody Zeller and Frank Kaminsky – none of the three are viable DFS options tonight going against a Toronto Raptors team that is 3rd in fantasy points allowed per game.

MKG will sit out tonight’s game against the Raptors with a lower back strain. Hornets Head Coach Steve Clifford has not stated yet who would start in his place. Once we find out, we’ll update you who it is and how it will impact the Hornets rotation – we’d expect Marco Belinelli to get the biggest boost in usage/value from this news.

Ivica Zubac has been ruled out of tonight’s contest. He was not a fantasy option and has not played in the last two games.

Larry Nance (concussion) cleared to play tonight
Larry Nance is active for tonight but will come off the bench if he plays. Nance backs up Julius Randle and could see 20 minutes if Randle gets into foul trouble. Nance was playing well before he suffered a concussion, so hopefully he’s able to pick up where he left off.

Larry Nance was seen shooting around but nothing official has been announced at this time. We should have an update once it becomes official.
As reported by: Mike Trudell Dante Cunningham and Terrence Jones starting over Solomon Hill and Omer Asik
The Pelicans have made a lineup change right at lock. If you were able to get Terrence Jones in before he was named the starter you might be in luck. The Pelicans are a mess so any of the starters could be benched at any time if their name isn’t Anthony Davis.
As reported by: Jim Eichenhofer Other tagged players: Terrence Jones Stephen Curry (ankle) will play tonight
Curry will play tonight against Denver after tweaking his ankle in last night’s game versus the Mavericks. If Curry were to be limited in anyway, look for the trio of Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson to pick up some extra usage.
As reported by: Harrison Wind E'Twaun Moore (toe) to play tonight
Moore will reportedly play tonight against Milwaukee after being listed on the Pelicans injury report as probable with a sprained toe. He should be a full go this evening since he was able to return after sustaining the injury in Tuesday’s game and play 33 minutes. Moore is a viable tournament option as a salary saver at the shooting guard position.
As reported by: Justin Verrier Al-Farouq Aminu (calf) out on Friday
Al-Farouq Aminu will miss another game due to a calf injury. Noah Vonleh started in his place on Wednesday but did not make an impact and the Blazers got blown out. The Blazers might continue to start Vonleh because the Kings visit Portland on Friday. Look for another update regarding the starters tomorrow.
As reported by: Mike Richman Other tagged players: Noah Vonleh George Hill (thumb) questionable for Friday
George Hill has missed the past two games due to a thumb injury. Shelvin Mack has started in his place but has not made a huge fantasy impact. That is expected because all of the usage funnels towards the main starters. If Hill misses another game, expect Mack to start again. They get a really nice matchup against the Magic and Mack should be an interesting punt option again. After two games in a row of not exceeding value, there’s a chance he’ll have a chance to have low ownership and exceed value. Boris Diaw also continues to be out with a leg injury.
As reported by: Tony Jones Other tagged players: Shelvin Mack, Boris Diaw Bradley Beal (hamstring) questionable for Friday
Bradley Beal had to exit last night’s game early due to an injured hamstring. An MRI came back showing no structural damage, so there is a chance he plays on Friday against the Cavs. If he misses the game we could see Tomas Satoransky and/or Marcus Thornton could see extended run if Beal misses. The starters would all likely see an increase in usage with John Wall expected to take on a heavier scoring role against the Cavs.

Al Horford has made some progress from his concussion but still remains out. Kelly Olynyk started the 2nd half of last night’s game and could possibly start on Friday. The Celtics starting big men continue to play poorly so there is a chance for a change. Hopefully we can get another update before lineups lock because the Celtics play in the second wave of games.
