James McAdoo ruled out for Wednesday
James McAdoo will not play on Wednesday. He’d have stood to benefit from Draymond Green resting, but instead it’ll be Marresse Speights picking up a good chunk of the minutes left by Green. Harrison Barnes, Andre Iguodala, Brandon Rush and Jason Thompson also may see a bump in playing time as a result of Green’s absence.

Kris Humphries out again for Wizards
The Wizards forward will miss his fifth straight game. With Marcin Gortat also ruled out it will likely mean big minutes for the remaining big men on the roster. Nene Hilario will likely get the start but is on a minutes restriction so look to Drew Gooden and possibly Jared Dudley to get the bulk of the work. Gooden is the preferred play of the three although Dudley has shown the ability to exceed value when given 30+ minutes of playing time. He’s topped 25 DraftKings fantasy points 8 of the last 9 games he’s exceeded 30 minutes – a threshold he will likely top tonight.

Draymond Green (rest) out Wednesday
Draymond Green (rest) will be held out of tonight’s game with the Nuggets. It’s possible he also rests tomorrow night, with Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston also candidates to rest against the Lakers. Both Iguodala and Livingston will play tonight. With Green out, look for a combination of Marresse Speights, Harrison Barnes, Andre Iguodala and Brandon Rush to help fill the void. Green contributes in a ton of different ways and there really isn’t one player that benefits far more than others, but Speights will likely see the biggest minutes bump relative to his season average.
As reported by: Diamond Lueng Gary Neal questionable due to illness
The Wizards guard missed shootaround due to illness and is considered questionable for their game tonight against the Bucks. Bradley Beal could possibly be returning tonight and would likely see Neal’s minutes off the bench. Beal, however, is still priced like a starter and is not in play due to likely minute restrictions. We’ll update Neal’s status when we learn more.
As reported by: Jorge Castillo on Twitter Jerami Grant doubtful for 76ers tomorrow
Grant was kicked in the calf in yesterday’s game against the Cavaliers and is considered doubtful for the teams game tomorrow. We’ll update his status tomorrow as we learn more.
As reported by: Jessica Camerato on Twitter Rodney Stuckey OUT tonight
After injuring his right foot and leaving the game in the first quarter last night, Rodney Stuckey has been ruled out in advance of the Pacers game against the Celtics tonight. C.J. Miles benefits the most from Stuckey’s absence and is an excellent value play at $4,200 on FanDuel and $4,600 on DraftKings. He scored 37.5 DraftKings fantasy points last night with Stuckey out.
As reported by: Jeremiah Johnson on Twitter Bradley Beal takes part in shootaround, game time decision for tonight
After missing the last 16 games with a leg injury, Bradley Beal took part in shootaround and appears to be on the verge of returning to play. He’ll be a game time decision tonight but is not a viable DFS option as his playing time will be limited if he does return. His presence will really hurt the value of Garrett Temple.
As reported by: J. Michael on Twitter Marcin Gortat remains hospitalized - OUT tonight
The Wizards center remains in the hospital with a possible staph infection and is not going to play tonight against the Bucks. Nene Hilario and Drew Gooden received the bulk of the work last game when Gortat sat with Gooden being the slightly better play of the two. Gooden’s price jumped from the minimum point it was at but it’s still less than Nene and he’s the preferred option of the two as Hilario is returning from injury and might have his playing time limited as a result.
As reported by: J. Michael on Twitter Anthony Davis (back) ruled out Tuesday
Anthony Davis is out of the lineup tonight with his sore back. Ryan Anderson will start in his place and makes for a great DFS option tonight. The Lakers are not the best defensive team so look for Ryan Anderson to be tasked with carrying the scoring load. Anderson played 43 minutes in Davis’ absence, so look for him to play a ton again.

Brandon Bass and Julius Randle playing off the bench Tuesday
The Lakers are going to have Brandon Bass and Julius Randle also available tonight against the Pelicans. Bass and Randle are the backups and have been sharing their time on their court as Larry Nance and Roy Hibbert are the starters. All four players are GPP plays only, with Larry Nance likely having the higher upside due to Anthony Davis being out. Bass (eye) and Randle (foot) may be slightly limited tonight due to their injuries.
As reported by: Mike Trudell Other tagged players: Larry Nance Jr., Julius Randle, Roy Hibbert Kobe Bryant and D'Angelo Russell playing on Tuesday
The Lakers are back healthy and will return Kobe Bryant to the starting lineup. Kobe makes for an elite under-owned option tonight and should be added to some of lineups. Bryant has been playing well recently and will be rested for an uptempo game. D’Angelo Russell will also return after missing a game due to an ankle injury. Russell will also be under-owned but he poses as a risky GPP play only tonight.
As reported by: Mike Trudell Other tagged players: D'Angelo Russell Grizzlies starting Chalmers, Allen, Lee, Green, Gasol; Zach Randolph off the bench
Tony Allen will remain in the starting lineup tonight for defensive purposes. Courtney Lee returns after a three-game absence due to a hip injury. Jeff Green will remain in the starting lineup with Zach Randolph coming off the bench. Randolph is still an elite DFS option tonight against the Rockets.
As reported by: Jonathan Feigen Other tagged players: Courtney Lee, Tony Allen, Zach Randolph, Jeff Green Nikola Pekovic (rest) ruled out on Tuesday
Nikola Pekovic will take tonight as a rest night and look to play tomorrow. Kevin Garnett is expected to rest tomorrow against the Rockets. Garnett is not recommended for DFS tonight against the Thunder.
As reported by: Timberwolves on Twitter Other tagged players: Kevin Garnett O.J. Mayo playing tonight
O.J. Mayo will be playing tonight after missing one game with a hamstring injury. Look for Mayo to play about 25 minutes tonight and be an under-owned option. Mayo makes for a good punt option due to the fact that he played 35 minutes in his last outing and had 30 FPS. Mayo will back up both Khris Middleton and Michael Carter-Williams.
As reported by: Aron Yohannes Other tagged players: Michael Carter-Williams, Khris Middleton Marcus Morris starting on Tuesday
Marcus Morris will resume his starting position after missing one game with a knee injury. Morris will be facing a stiff test in Kawhi Leonard and should be avoided in DFS tonight. Reggie Jackson and Andre Drummond figure to be the focal point tonight as they both played well in their last game with Morris out. All Detroit players come with a risk of being blown out by the Spurs, but with the Spurs playing on the second night of a back-to-back this game figures to be competitive.
