DFS Alerts
Meyers Leonard will be limited to a degree
Leonard will return to the lineup on Saturday, but Noah Vonleh will still start. His head coach Terry Stotts said Leonard will be limited to a degree. Ignore him for your DFS lineups, because his minutes are unknown returning from injury. With him returning this hurts Mason Plumlee value a little bit.

Trevor Booker will start for Derrick Favors
As expected Booker will start for Derrick Favors on Saturday night. He is min. price on FD and $3,200 on DK. He is a GPP punt play only, as he hasn’t been producing in the minutes he has been getting this season. In his last five games, he hasn’t scored over five points in those games. He could have to guard Anthony Davis at times tonight too.
As reported by: Aaron Falk Randy Foye to start for Gary Harris
Randy Foye will start for the injured Gary Harris on Saturday night against the Mavs. Foye is as easy fade, as he has struggled to score when he has gotten the minutes recently. The player who should benefit most from this news is Will Barton. He had one bad game recently, but other than that he has been pretty consistent. The Nuggets are probably not starting him, because they want his fire power off the bench.
As reported by: Chris Dempsey Kenneth Faried will play Saturday, but not start
Faried will play limited minutes off the bench tonight. He is an easy fade for your DFS lineups. With Faried available to play the Nuggets frontcourt is a mess. Joffrery Lauvergne is also back, so stay away from the Nuggets frontcourt. Who knows how many minutes each player will get. Nikola Jokic and Darrell Arthur will still start.
As reported by: Chris Dempsey Anthony Davis will play Tonight
Davis will play despite leaving last night’s game with a knee injury. Davis is an easy fade in cash games, but it’s Anthony Davis so he makes a great GPP play. Not a lot of people will be on him, because of his recent injuries. The Jazz we also be without Derrick Favors. With Davis playing this hurts the value of Ryan Anderson.
As reported by: John Reid Jrue Holiday will play limited minutes tonight
Holiday will play on limited minutes tonight against the Jazz. He normally has sat out back-to-backs, but he only played 13 minutes last night. This hurts Ish Smith a little, but Smith should still see plenty of minutes. Over his last three games, he is averaging 42 FD points per game. Yes, this is a tough matchup against Utah, but his price is still only $6,600 on both sites.
As reported by: David Locke Gary Harris out Saturday
Harris will not play tonight against the Mavericks with concussion like symptoms. Harris has been playing pretty well lately, but starting in his place will be Randy Foye. Foye is an easy fade; he has really struggled this season. This gives a bump up to Will Barton. Barton is the ultimate GPP play.
As reported by: Chris Dempsey Derrick Favors out Saturday
Favors won’t be playing Saturday night, because of personal issue. Staring in his place will likely be Trevor Booker. He is min. price on FD and $3,200 on DK. He is a GPP punt play only, as he hasn’t been producing in the minutes he has been getting this season. He could have to guard Anthony Davis at times to if Davis plays.
As reported by: Aaron Falk Thabo Sefolosha starting Saturday
Sefolosha will start on Saturday against the Spurs, after he sat out last night. He will start for Kent Bazemore; he has been battling an ankle injury, but he is available to play off the bench. He is just $4,300 on FD. Over his last three games he is averaging 26 FD points per game. Sefolosha does have a tough matchup on Saturday night going up against Kawhi Leonard.
As reported by: Chris Vivlamore Gary Neal out Saturday
Neal was a late scratch on Saturday night. Maybe this gives some more minutes to Garrett Temple, but really just gives more minutes to the starters.
As reported by: Chris Miller All Spurs available to play tonight
Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan sat out Friday night, but Pop said everyone is available to play on Saturday. With this news, Kawhi Leonard is the only safe cash game play for the Spurs tonight. You could take a flyer on a Tim Duncan or Danny Green if you want in a GPP.
As reported by: Paul Garcia Jared Dudley Starting
With Nene out with an injury, Dudley will start for him on Saturday night. Last night after Nene went down with an injury, Dudley came in and played very well. He scored 19 points and brought down 5 boards in 30 minutes of play. He makes for a very nice punt play on a night without a whole lot of value. He is minimum price on both sites.
As reported by: Jorge Castillo Nene ruled out on Saturday
As expected Nene with miss Saturday’s game with a calf injury. Jared Dudley filled in for Nene last night and played very well. In 30 minutes, he scored 19 points and brought down 5 boards. Dudley is minimum price on both sites. He makes for a nice punt play especially if he is starting. You can ignore Kris Humphries, as he hasn’t been getting the minutes lately.
As reported by: Washington Wizards Jrue Holiday Probable Saturday
It was expected that Holiday would sit out the second of the back-to-back, but he only played 13 minutes last night. Alvin Gentry will have more on Holiday in his pregame presser, so we will have to wait and see what he says. This would effect Ish Smith some if Holiday plays, but Smith is still a great play.
As reported by: Brett Dawson Tyreke Evans still Doubtful Tonight
It looks like Evans will have to wait another game to make his season debut. With Jrue Holiday also likely out, this just makes Ish Smith much more of a safer play. Smith is priced in the $6,000s on both sites. With this news Eric Gordon also remains a strong play.
