DFS Alerts
Anthony Brown will start for Kobe Bryant
Brown will start for the injured Bryant on Sunday. Brown is DFS irrelevant. In his last 123 minutes of play, he has just 44 FD points. The plays on the Lakers tonight are Jordan Clarkson and Lou Williams.
As reported by: Serena Winters
Brandon Bass out Sunday
Bass, who has been playing very well as of late, will miss Sunday’s game with an eye injury. This really doesn’t have a huge fantasy impact. Julius Randle and Larry Nance will likely see extra minutes. Nance has come on as late, but is only a GPP punt play. You can ignore Randle for your DFS lineups. In his last 89 minutes of play Randle has just 12 points.
As reported by: Mike Trudell Nicolas Batum will play and start Sunday
Batum will start Sunday against the Nuggets after missing the last four games. By all accounts he won’t be on a minute’s restriction. He makes for a great GPP play tonight because his ownership will be very low. With Batum playing this hurts the value of Jeremy Lin and Jeremy Lamb.
As reported by: Pelicans PR Nicolas Batum game-time decision Sunday
Batum will test out his toe in pre-game to determine if he can play Sunday against the Nuggets. If he plays Batum is a GPP play only because his minutes are unsure. Jeremy Lin will lose his value of Batum returns.
As reported by: Hornets PR Kobe Bryant now out Sunday
Reports earlier in the day said Bryant was going to play today, but now he won’t play Sunday because of an Achilles injury. Anthony Brown will likely start for Bryant, but he is fantasy irrelevant. D’Angelo Russell was already ruled out earlier in the day. This means Jordan Clarkson and Lou Williams should get all the minutes they can handle in the backcourt. Last game against the Thunder, Williams scored 44 points. Despite the tough match up tonight against the Jazz both Williams and Clarkson make for solid plays tonight. Williams has a better price on FD, while Clarkson has a better price on DK.
As reported by: Mark Medina Jeremy Lin will play Sunday
Lin will play on Sunday despite tweaking his ankle last game. Last game, Lin scored 26 points against the Clippers in 41 minutes. Nicolas Batum is a game-time decision Sunday, but if he doesn’t play, Lin will once again make for a great value play. The Nuggets really struggle to defend opposing guards.
As reported by: Hornets PR Emmanuel Mudiay will start Sunday, Jameer Nelson is out
Mudiay has not played in roughly a month, but he will play and start tonight against the Hornets. He could see a lot of minutes because Jameer Nelson will miss this game because of a hip injury. He can’t be trusted for cash games, but he could make for a nice GPP play. Randy Foye will also probably get some minutes at point guard.
As reported by: Harrison Wind Kenneth Faried out Sunday
Faried will miss his second straight game because of personal reasons. With Faried out on Friday, Darrell Arthur started for him. He finished with 26 FD points in 26 minutes. Arthur makes for a nice value play on this slate. His price is a little more attractive on FD ($3,700).
As reported by: Chris Dempsey Dwight Howard will play Sunday
Howard will play Sunday night against the Pacers; he missed last game with an injury. Howard makes a very nice GPP play tonight. When a player is returning from injury they tend to be highly under owned. Before he got hurt, Howard averaged 44 FD points in his last four games. With Howard playing this hurts the value of Terrence Jones.
As reported by: Jonathan Feigen Dwight Howard a game-time decision Sunday
Howard will go through warmups to determine if he can play on Sunday night against the Pacers. If Howard plays he is an easy fade. If he doesn’t play, Terrence Jones makes for a nice value play. Without Howard last game, Jones had 26 FD points in 32 minutes. He is just $4,200 on DK and $4,400 on FD.
As reported by: Calvin Watkins Deron Williams starting Sunday
Williams will start for the Mavericks on Sunday, despite hurting his elbow the last game. He could make for a nice GPP play today, because no one will be on him. Saying that though, just see him getting a ton of minutes today. With him playing this hurts the value of J.J. Barea.
As reported by: Earl Sneed Avery Bradley will start on Sunday, Evan Turner to the Bench
Bradley will make his return to the starting lineup after missing three games with an injury. With Bradley starting, Evan Turner will head to the bench, and he loses his value. Bradley is an easy fade for your DFS lineups tonight; he was struggling even before he got hurt. The total for the Celtics/ Grizzlies game is set at 191.
As reported by: Celtics Mike Conley and Courtney Lee out Sunday
As expected both Conley and Lee with miss tonight’s against the Celtics. With both players out, once again Mario Chalmers and Tony Allen make for excellent value plays. Chalmers is only $4,900 on FD and $5,400 on DK. He struggled somewhat last game, but the game before he had 49 FD points. He has played about 40 minutes per game without Conley. Last game without Lee, Allen started and finished with 30 FD points in 38 minutes. He is just $4,000 on FD, and $4,300 on DK. On FD he is listed as a SG and on DK as a SF.
As reported by: Ronald Tillery Other tagged players: Courtney Lee Derrick Favors and Rodney Hood questionable Sunday
Both Hood and Favors are listed as questionable for tonight’s game against the Lakers. Jeff Withey had been playing very well with Favors out, but the last two games he has only averaged 20 minutes per game due to Rudy Gobert return. Trey Lyles has played better over the last two games averaging 24 FD points in 33 minutes per game. He is a GPP punt option only. With Hood out on Sunday, Chris Johnson started and finished with 29 FD points in 31 minutes. He is a GPP punt play also.
As reported by: Aaron Falk Other tagged players: Rodney Hood Deron Williams expected to play Sunday
Williams hurt his elbow during Friday’s game, but he will most likely play today. Rick Carlisle says he expects Williams to play today against Minnesota. Williams is an easy fade for your lineups, it sounds like he is not 100% healthy. With Williams likely playing, this hurts the value of J.J. Barea.
