Greg Monroe ruled out Sunday, Miles Plumlee will start
Greg Monroe (rest) won’t play Sunday against the 76ers. Miles Plumlee will start for Monroe. Plumlee is a GPP punt play only, although he did finished last game with 28 FD points in 20 minutes. He does have a favorable matchup today against the 76ers. He is just $3,700 on FD, and $3,100 on DK. John Henson should also see some more minutes with Monroe out.

Carl Landry out Sunday
Carl Landry will miss his second straight Sunday because of a back injury. With Landry out of the lineup Nerlens Noel and Jerami Grant should get all the minutes they can handle. Both played over 30 minutes last game. Elton Brand should also see a couple extra minutes, but he isn’t a DFS target.
As reported by: Chris Vito Deron Williams will play Sunday
Deron Williams will play Sunday against the Clippers after missing the last eight games with a sports hernia injury. Williams isn’t a recommended DFS play today because his minutes will likely be limited. Raymond Felton remains a decent punt play with J.J. Barea out with an injury.
As reported by: Earl Sneed Kristaps Porzingis ruled out Sunday
Kristaps Porzingis will miss his sixth straight game Sunday because of a shoulder injury. Derrick Williams has started for the Knicks with Porzingis out of the lineup. Williams has averaged 23 FD points per game in Porzingis’s absence. Williams is a GPP punt play only, he has a tough matchup tonight against Toronto. His price is at $4,600 on both sites.
As reported by: Ian Begley Darrell Arthur expected to play Sunday
Darrell Arthur is expected to play Sunday against Utah. Arthur had missed the last three games because of personal reasons. Arthur isn’t a recommended DFS target tonight. Joffrey Lauvergne will lose some minutes with Arthur back in the rotation.

As reported by: Ian Begley Paul Pierce is the only Clipper that won’t play on Sunday
Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan, Blake Griffin, and J.J. Redick will all start Sunday against the Mavericks after resting on Friday night. Paul Pierce is the only Clipper that won’t play on Sunday. The Clippers players are only in play for tournaments today. The Clippers already have the 4th spot locked up in the West, so they don’t have much to play for.
As reported by: Dan Woike Other tagged players: Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan, J.J. Redick Deron Williams plans to play Sunday, J.J. Barea ruled out
Deron Williams plans to play Sunday against the Clippers after missing the last eight games with a sports hernia injury. Williams isn’t a recommended DFS play today because his minutes may be limited. J.J. Barea won’t play Sunday after hurting his groin on Friday night. With Barea out, Raymond Felton remains a decent punt play, but not the elite punt play if Williams was out. Felton is coming off one of his best games of the season against the Grizzlies, in which he finished with 40 FD points.
As reported by: ESPN Other tagged players: J.J. Barea Jeremy Lamb is available for Sunday
Jeremy Lamb is available to play Sunday against the Wizards. Lamb missed the last game with a toe injury. Lamb isn’t a recommended DFS option on Sunday. Lamb has only scored in double figures once in his last twelve games.
As reported by: Hornets PR John Wall ruled out Sunday
John Wall will miss his third straight game Sunday with a knee injury. With Wall out of the lineup, Ramon Sessions has started the last two games for the Wizards. In those games, Sessions is averaging 15 points and 10 assists per game. Sessions should be considered a top value play on today’s slate. He is priced at just $4,200 on FD and $3,700 on DK. Bradley Beal also sees a big bump in usage with Wall not playing.
As reported by: Jorge Castillo Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant starting against the Kings; Serge Ibaka and Andre Roberson also return
Westbrook and Durant will return after resting for one game. Both players should be considered elite options against the Kings. Ibaka should also be considered a strong option with his price at $5,500 on DK. Roberson is not a viable DFS option and should not be considered. Dion Waiters and Anthony Morrow also lose their value with Durant and Westbrook back.
As reported by: Anthony Slater Other tagged players: Kevin Durant, Andre Roberson, Serge Ibaka
Kings tentative starters: Collison, Anderson, Gay, Cauley-Stein, and Cousins
Cousins is projected to be in the starting lineup against the Thunder. Cousins should be an elite option in his final start of the season. Collison will be replacing Rondo and also should be a cash game staple. We don’t expect a change from this lineup but will update if there is.
As reported by: James Ham Other tagged players: James Anderson, Darren Collison, Rudy Gay, Willie Cauley-Stein Vince Carter replaces Chris Andersen in the starting lineup
Carter will be making his first start of the season for the Grizzlies tonight. Carter should see about 24 minutes against the Warriors and is an elite punt option. He scored 34 fpts against the Bulls on Tuesday, proving that he does have a robust ceiling if he plays well. Vince only scored 7.2 fpts in his last appearance so the floor is pretty low as well. The Grizzlies official starting five is Farmar, Stephenson, Barnes, Carter, and Randolph.
As reported by: Rusty Simmons Other tagged players: Chris Andersen, Lance Stephenson, Jordan Farmar, Zach Randolph, Matt Barnes Iman Shumpert (knee) ruled out on Saturday; Tristan Thompson to start for Timofey Mozgov
Shumpert will be out due to a sore knee but is not much of a DFS factor even when he plays. Tristan Thompson replaces Mozgov in the starting lineup and could be a nice punt option against the Bulls interior. The Bulls rank 19th in DRE vs. Cs over the course of the season. Mozgov is not a viable DFS option off the bench.
As reported by: Dave McMenamin Other tagged players: Tristan Thompson, Timofey Mozgov Lance Stephenson starting in place of Tony Allen
Stephenson will be replacing the injured Tony Allen against the Warriors. This will be the third start for Stephenson since coming over in a mid-season trade from the Clippers. Stephenson should be able to see over 30 minutes even if the game gets out of hand. Consider Stephenson a strong punt option that could have low ownership with the news coming out after lineups had locked.
