Jon Leuer and Tyson Chandler will play tonight for Suns
Everyone will be available for the Suns tonight including Leuer and Chandler which removes Mirza Teletovic as an elite option on tonight’s slate. In fact the news makes all of the Suns front court options risky plays as the minutes should be split between them and Minnesota is somewhat tough against bigs (11th in PF DvP and 7th in C DvP). Brandon Knight and Devin Booker are in play against a Timberwolves team that is bottom 10 in PG and SG DvP.

Kawhi Leonard OUT today for Spurs; Spurs injury report for today
As expected Kawhi Leonard is out for the Spurs today with a right quad contusion. He joins Tim Duncan (rest), Manu Ginobili (rest), and Tony Parker (rest) as Spurs players who will not be available tonight when they take on the Memphis Grizzlies. LaMarcus Aldridge is the biggest beneficiary of this news as his usage is 31% per RotoGrinders CourtIQ tool when those four are not on the court. Patty Mills and Kevin Martin (albeit in a small sample size for him) also receive usage bumps when those four do not play but it’s hard to trust either of those in a Popovich-led rotation. Outside of Aldridge, David West is probably your safest bet for fantasy production. We’ll have a better idea of where the value will lie once the starting lineup comes out and we’ll update you here when that information becomes available.
As reported by: San Antonio Spurs official Twitter feed Paul Millsap will play today
There was never much doubt that he would play but official confirmation is always nice. Millsap has a juicy match up tonight going against a Bulls team that is 26th in PF DvP and bottom six in terms of fantasy points allowed per game. Millsap has put up at least 34 FanDuel fpts in eight of his last nine games and topped 40 on four different occasions in that span including a 57 fpts outburst his last game out. He’s a great cash game option and a good GPP pivot for the masses that will likely be on LaMarcus Aldridge.
As reported by: Chris Vivlamore on Twitter Terrence Ross uncertain for Raptors today
Raptors Head Coach Casey stated Ross is doing ok but did not say if he was going to play tonight. Consider him questionable for now and we’ll update his status when more information becomes available. Norman Powell would benefit most if Ross doesn’t play and he’d be a viable punt option at SG as he has score 20+ fantasy points each of his last two games with over 30 minutes playing time in each game.
As reported by: Ryan Wolstat on Twitter Other tagged players: Norman Powell DeMarcus Cousins unlikely to play on Monday
DeMarcus Cousins is unlikely to play on the second night of a back-to-back. The Kings travel to Portland, making Kosta Koufos the likely starter at center. Koufos had 38.3 fantasy points on DraftKings when he started for Cousins last Wednesday. Willie Cauley-Stein had a nice performance on Sunday and should also be considered a viable tournament option. We should have an update confirming Cousins is out tomorrow.

Zach Randolph (ankle) questionable for Monday
Zach Randolph is listed as questionable with a rematch with the Spurs. Randolph did not play on Friday against them. JaMychal Green had a nice game replacing Randolph, Green had 30.5 DKFP in 25 minutes. Green’s salary has only jumped to $4,800 for tomorrow, making him a possible punt candidate still. Look for an update regarding Randolph’s status before putting Green into your lineups.
As reported by: Rob Fischer Other tagged players: JaMychal Green Nene will start for Markieff Morris on Sunday
Nene will enter the starting lineup with Morris ruled out due to a calf injury. Nene has averaged 24.82 DKFP in nine starts this season, making him a viable tournament option at $4,000 on DraftKings. Nene picked up the slack on Friday when Morris exited with an injury, Nene had 32.3 DKFP in 32 minutes.
As reported by: @Wizards Other tagged players: Markieff Morris D'Angelo Russell (ankle) available to play on Sunday
D’Angelo Russell looked good through going through warmups on Sunday. He is expected to start against the Wizards after being doubtful all day with an ankle issue. Marcelo Huertas is not a viable option with Russell in the lineup. Jordan Clarkson and Lou Williams also lose some value with Russell back.
As reported by: Serena Winters Other tagged players: Jordan Clarkson, Lou Williams Markieff Morris (calf) ruled out on Sunday
Markieff Morris has been ruled out due to a strained calf. A replacement starter has not been named at this time. Look for an update soon on who will replace Morris in the lineup.
As reported by: @Wizards Larry Nance (knee) will play on Sunday and sit on Monday
Larry Nance has been in a major slump lately and is better off avoided on Sunday. Brandon Bass is in front of him in the rotation, averaging 21.82 DKFP in his last four games. Bass is viable punt option against the Wizards. Nance is also not expected to play on Monday against the Jazz.
As reported by: Serena Winters Ryan Kelly (wrist) available to play; Nick Young (illness) ruled out
Ryan Kelly will look to play after missing three games due to a wrist injury. Kelly is not a viable DFS option against the Wizards. Nick Young will be held out of his eighth consecutive game on Sunday.
As reported by: Mark Medina Other tagged players: Nick Young Kobe Bryant confirmed as starting on Sunday
Kobe Bryant will be making his fourth consecutive start on Sunday. Bryant has averaged 29.43 DKFP in his last three, making him a nice mid-range tournament target. Bryant is expected to play 28-30 minutes with D’Angelo Russell likely out of the lineup.
As reported by: Mark Medina Marcelo Huertas expected to start if D'Angelo Russell is not able to play
Marcelo Huertas will make his first career start in the NBA if D’Angelo Russell is not able to play on Sunday. Russell is currently being listed as doubtful with an ankle sprain. We should have an update soon confirming the status of Russell. Huertas is a viable punt option in GPPs against the Wizards.
As reported by: @Lakers Other tagged players: D'Angelo Russell Andrew Bogut (toe) starting on Sunday
Andrew Bogut has been confirmed as the starter against Philadelphia. Bogut was questionable coming into the game due to a toe injury. Bogut is a viable low-end DFS option against the Sixers. Bogut had his second-best fantasy game of the season (38 DKFP) earlier this season against the Sixers. Bogut will likely not play more than 20 minutes with the Warriors favored by 21+ points.
As reported by: GSW stats Kawhi Leonard questionable for Monday; LaMarcus Aldridge expected to play
LaMarcus Aldridge is expected to play on Monday after taking Saturday night off. Aldridge is an elite option in all formats against the injured Grizzlies. Kawhi Leonard has missed the past two games due to a thigh contusion. Look for an update regarding Leonard’s status tomorrow. Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili will continue to be out on Monday.
