Steph Curry, Andre Iguodala officially questionable for tonight
As was the case yesterday, Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala are both still listed as questionable for tonight’s tilt with the Thunder. Both players missed Tuesday’s game with the Hawks but it appears more likely that each is able to suit up in a nationally televised game. If Curry is able to go, he’s neck and neck with Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins as the top play on the slate; if he’s not able to go, Shaun Livingston becomes a viable punt play while Klay Thompson should see a nice bump in shot attempts. The Warriors could use Andre Iguodala’s perimeter defense on Kevin Durant, but if Iggy is forced to sit again, Harrison Barnes would be a great bet to clear 30 minutes.

Jahlil Okafor questionable for Friday's game
76ers Head Coach Brett Brown stated that their rookie center is still day-to-day and his status for Friday’s game is still up in the air after not practicing today. Nerlens Noel is dinged up and also did not practice, but should play and would receive a bump up in usage if Okafor sits. We’ll update Okafor’s status tomorrow when more information becomes available.

Luc Richard Mbah a Moute (eye) out; Jeff Green likely to start in his place
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute is out tonight and could possibly miss multiple games with an eye injury. Jeff Green will likely start in his place and is a viable option in what should be a high-scoring game. Green is a volatile player, so he should only be used in tournaments tonight.

Kenneth Faried (back) confirmed as the starter tonight
Kenneth Faried will be starting tonight against the Lakers. Faried is coming off three consecutive monster games and should be able to exceed value again tonight. Faried has averaged 39.5 DKFP in 28 minutes over those three games. Faried is a strong option tonight at his $6,200 salary.
As reported by: Clint Dempsey Rajon Rondo confirmed as the starter tonight
Rajon Rondo has been dealing with a thumb injury but will be starting tonight. Rondo nearly had a triple-double, missing by one rebound in his previous game. Still, Rondo was not able to exceed value and could fare the same again tonight.
As reported by: Jason Jones Tony Allen (knee) officially ruled out
Tony Allen has been officially ruled out again tonight and P.J. Hairston will start in his place. Hairston is a viable punt play against the Kings. Hairston played 32 minutes in his last game and was able to put up 24 DKFP against Denver. Hairston does not have a ton of upside but he will be under-owned tonight.
As reported by: Clay Bailey Gorgui Dieng confirmed as the starter tonight
Gorgui Dieng has been confirmed as the starter tonight after being questionable due to personal reasons. Dieng’s salary is a bit high and he has not exceeded value for two consecutive games. He may have a chance to against the Wizards tonight so he is only a tournament option.
As reported by: Alan Horton Donatas Motiejunas to start tonight; Josh Smith to the bench
Donatas Motiejunas will receive the start with Josh Smith going to the bench. Montiejunas is actually a solid punt play after playing 19 minutes in his last game. Montiejunas scored 16.75 DKFP but is still recovering from a back issue so his upside is limited.
As reported by: Jonathan Feigen Other tagged players: Josh Smith Kobe Bryant (shoulder) will start tonight
Kobe Bryant will be playing tonight but he will see decreased minutes. Bryant will be an under-owned option and is a tournament play only with his limited minutes. Hopefully the Lakers can keep it close, forcing Bryant into crunch time minutes.
As reported by: Mike Trudell Rajon Rondo probable; Rudy Gay and Seth Curry officially ruled out
Rajon Rondo is probable for tonight’s game and he should be expected to start. Rudy Gay is out with a shoulder injury and Omri Casspi will start in his place. Seth Curry is also out but he did not provide much DFS value to begin with. Look for Darren Collison to play over 30 minutes again tonight.
As reported by: James Ham Other tagged players: Seth Curry, Rudy Gay, Darren Collison Clint Capela (foot) will play on Wednesday
Clint Capela will play tonight but is not confirmed as the starter. Capela is a low-end option with Howard active and does not possess much of an offensive game. Capela will be under-owned with the news coming out after lineups locked.
As reported by: Calvin Watkins Omri Casspi to start for Rudy Gay tonight
Omri Casspi will start tonight for Rudy Gay who is out with a shoulder injury. Casspi played 25 minutes in the last game that Gay missed, and he was able to put up a respectable 23.25 DKFP. Casspi should see more minutes tonight and exceed value on his $4,900 DK salary.
As reported by: Jason Jones Other tagged players: Rudy Gay Kendrick Perkins to start tonight
Kendrick Perkins will start tonight against the Rockets. Perkins is not a DFS option and is in for defensive purposes. Perkins does not possess much upside and is tough to recommend on an eleven game slate.
As reported by: Jim Eichenhofer Anthony Davis (toe) to play tonight
Anthony Davis will play tonight and likely resume his starting position. With Davis playing, Ryan Anderson takes a slight hit in value. Anderson is still in play against the Rockets but he is not going to score over 50 fantasy points like he did in his previous game. Davis was out for that contest which saw Eric Gordon also put up 40+ fantasy points.
As reported by: Brett Dawson Other tagged players: Ryan Anderson, Eric Gordon Andre Miller and Matt Bonner to be available tonight
Andre Miller and Matt Bonner are both available tonight. Both are not expected to play much if at all so they should not make your rosters. Miller and Bonner are only options if multiple Spurs sit out.
