DFS Alerts
Zach Randolph and Vince Carter will warm up and try to play Saturday
Zach Randolph and Vince Carter will warm up and try to play on Saturday against the Clippers. Randolph has missed the last seven games with a knee injury. JaMychal Green will lose his value tonight, if Randolph plays. Randolph could make for a nice GPP play tonight, only if he isn’t on a minutes restriction. Carter has missed the last four games with a calf injury. If he plays, Carter isn’t a recommended DFS option tonight. If Cater can’t go Lance Stephenson, Tony Allen, Ray McCallum, and Briante Weber will all see a lot of minutes. Matt Barnes is suspended for tonight’s game.

Bradley Beal will start Saturday, Alan Anderson will play
Bradley Beal will start Saturday against the Knicks. Beal missed the last game with a pelvis injury. With Beal in and out of the lineup recently his price has really fallen. He could make for a nice tournament option tonight. He is $5,400 on FD and $5,300 on DK. Garrett Temple loses his value with Beal back. Alan Anderson will play tonight after missing the last two games with an ankle injury. He isn’t a DFS target tonight.
As reported by: Ben Standig Ian Mahinmi will play Saturday
Ian Mahinmi will play tonight against the Thunder. Mahinmi missed the last game with a back injury. Mahinmi is only in play for tournaments tonight. With Mahinmi back in the lineup, Jordan Hill loses his value.
Wayne Ellington will start Saturday
Wayne Ellington will be back in the starting lineup tonight against the Pistons. Sergey Karasev started for the Nets last game but will return to a reserve role here. Ellington isn’t a recommended DFS option tonight.
As reported by: Devin Kharpertian Serge Ibaka will play Saturday
Serge Ibaka will play Saturday against the Pacers after getting the night off last night. Ibaka is only a GPP play in a disappointing season.
As reported by: Anthony Slater Matt Barnes out Saturday (Suspended)
Matt Barnes is suspended for tonight’s game against the Clippers. Lance Stephenson receives the biggest bump up in usage with Barnes out. He has averaged 41 FD points over his last two games. His price is more attractive on DK at just $6,100. Tony Allen, Ray McCallum, and Briante Weber will also see some more usage tonight, especially if Vince Carter is out. All three are GPP plays only tonight.
As reported by: David Aldridge Kenneth Faried out Saturday
Kenneth Faried will miss his second straight game Saturday with a back injury. Darrell Arthur will start for Faried. Arthur started last game, but he only played 18 minutes. He finished that game with just 5 FD points. Arthur is only a GPP punt play tonight. He is $3,900 on DK, and $3,700 on FD. Jusuf Nurkic and Joffrey Lauvergne will also see more minutes off the bench with Faried out. It’s tough to trust anyone from the Nuggets frontcourt.
As reported by: Steve Reed Cody Zeller will try to play Saturday, Spencer Hawes will play
Cody Zeller will try to play tonight against the Nuggets. Zeller is dealing with some knee pain. Zeller isn’t a DFS option tonight. Spencer Hawes is available to play, after being out for a while with a back injury. Marvin Williams is the only player you should think about playing tonight from the Hornets frontcourt.
As reported by: Hornets PR Other tagged players: Spencer Hawes Anthony Davis out Sunday, Pelicans are considering shutting him down
Anthony Davis won’t play Sunday against the Clippers. Davis is dealing with some type of shoulder injury in addition to his knee injury. Head coach Alvin Gentry said, the Pelicans are considering shutting Davis down. When Davis is out of the lineup, Ryan Anderson is an elite play in all formats. The Pelicans guards will also receive a bump in usage with Davis out.
As reported by: Brett Dawson E’Twaun Moore out for a week
E’Twaun Moore will be out for at least a week with a hamstring injury. With Jimmy Butler back, Moore being out doesn’t have a big fantasy impact. Justin Holiday and Aaron Brooks should see a couple more minutes off the bench with Moore out.
As reported by: Cody Westerlund Gordon Hayward remains questionable Saturday
Gordon Hayward went through shootaround on Saturday, but he is still questionable for tonight’s game against Chicago. Hayward has missed the last two games with a foot injury. Joe Ingles has started the last two games for Hayward. If Hayward can’t go on Saturday, Ingles makes for a nice GPP punt play. Ingles has averaged 32 minutes and 25 FD points over the last two games.
As reported by: Jody Genessy Kenneth Faried doubtful Saturday
Kenneth Faried is doubtful for Saturday’s game against the Hornets with a back injury. Faried also missed the Nuggets game on Thursday. Darrell Arthur got the start for Faired, but only played 18 minutes. He finished that game with just 5 FD points. Arthur is only a GPP punt play tonight. Jusuf Nurkic and Joffrey Lauvergne will also see some more minutes if Faried is out tonight.
As reported by: Harrison Wind Jose Calderon will play Saturday
Jose Calderon will start Saturday for the Knicks against the Wizards. Calderon left Wednesday’s game early with a calf injury. On a nine game slate, you can ignore Calderon for your DFS lineups tonight.
As reported by: New York Knicks Metta World Peace confirmed as the starter for Kobe Bryant on Friday
Metta World Peace will start on Friday for Kobe Bryant. World Peace is a low-end DFS option and is only viable for the late slate. With Bryant out of the lineup, look for D’Angelo Russell and Jordan Clarkson to play well. Lou Williams should be a contrarian play with upside.
As reported by: Serena Winters Other tagged players: Kobe Bryant, D'Angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson
David Lee (groin) will play on Friday
David Lee will be playing against the Warriors on Friday. With the Warriors known to play small-ball, Lee will likely see about 18-20 minutes tonight. Zaza Pachulia will also see some action when Andrew Bogut is in the game.
