DFS Alerts
Wesley Johnson starting Tuesday
Wesley Johnson will be making his first start of the season for the Clippers. Johnson is a defensive-minded player and will spend a ton of energy chasing around the Nuggets leading scorer Danilo Gallinari. Johnson will really only be able to make a DFS impact if he is able to get out on the fastbreak or create some turnovers.

Zach Randolph out
Zach Randolph was listed as active but in a last minute switch he was scratched from the lineup. Matt Barnes jumps into the starting lineup with Jeff Green to man the forward positions. Matt Barnes is not a great DFS play but Jeff Green definitely benefits going against Dirk Nowitzki.
As reported by: Rob Fischer on Twitter Zach Randolph not starting Tuesday
The Grizzlies have not listed as Zach Randolph in the starting lineup, but he is still active. No word has been given if he will be coming off the bench tonight. Jeff Green will start at PF, with Matt Barnes coming in at SF for the Grizzlies.
As reported by: Tim MacMahon on Twitter Avery Bradley starts second game in a row
Avery Bradley will make his second start in a row for the injured Marcus Smart. Bradley played 40 minutes in his last game replacing Smart, so look for something similar this game. Bradley is averaging over 21 points a game in his last 4, so look for him to continue his great play. Thabo Sefolosha is a good defender, but Bradley has been hot and getting the minutes.
As reported by: Chris Vivlamore on Twitter Devin Harris out Tuesday
Devin Harris is a healthy scratch for tonight’s game against the Grizzlies. Deron Williams and Raymond Felton will share the PG duties for the Mavs with J.J. Barea getting some minutes as well. John Jenkins will get a bump in playing time backing up Wesley Matthews
As reported by: Chuck Cooperstein Chase Budinger not starting, George Hill confirmed starting
George Hill started the game against the Wizards and not Chase Budinger. In an error we mentioned Budinger starting but Budinger will come off the bench for tonight’s game.
Zach Randolph active Tuesday
The Grizzlies have listed Zach Randolph as active for tonight’s game against the Mavs. This will likely move JaMychal Green back to the bench and he will only come in to give Randolph a breather. Randolph should be able to dominate his matchup inside against Dirk Nowitzki, but will get pulled out to the perimeter on defense. His playing time has not been confirmed, but we should know shortly.
As reported by: Earl Sneed on Twitter George Hill confirmed starting Tuesday
George Hill will be in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Wizards. He missed the past 3 games and should be playing his normal minutes tonight. Hill is in the first game of the day so he can’t be late-swapped in.
Tiago Splitter out Tuesday
Tiago Splitter has been ruled out of Tuesday’s contest. Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said Mike Muscala will be the backup center against Boston. Muscala is not a great DFS option and will likely lead to Al Horford playing as many minutes as possible tonight. Horford and Paul Millsap both should be able to dominate the paint tonight.
As reported by: KL Chouinard on Twitter Jeff Teague, Thabo Sefolosha starting Tuesday
Jeff Teague is back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench on Saturday. Teague gets a plus matchup going against Isaiah Thomas, and should be able to exploit the size advantage. Thabo Sefolosha is also starting with Kent Bazemore missing another game. Sefolosha played 30 minutes on Saturday and had 13 points with 5 rebounds.
As reported by: KL Chouinard on Twitter George Hill starting Tuesday
George Hill is back in the starting lineup after missing 3 games. Hill has the tough task of slowing down John Wall and will likely need to attack him on the offensive end as well. Hill has played well so far this season but was slumping before missing the last 3 games. With so many other good PGs on the slate today, it is tough to recommend George Hill outside of a contrarian play.
As reported by: Jorge Castillo on Twitter Nene playing Tuesday
The Wizards have confirmed that Nene will be playing on Tuesday after having no setbacks from Saturday’s game. Nene had a solid game against Detroit with 18 points and 7 rebounds. Nene’s production came in 22 minutes, netting him 32.75 FPs on DK. Nene is a risky option, but could make for a strong contrarian play against the weak interior defense of the Pacers.
As reported by: J. Michael on Twitter Nik Stauskas diagnosed with knee contusion
Nik Stauskas’ availability is now in question for Wednesday’s game against the Celtics. Stauskas was diagnosed with a knee contusion and will be re-evaluated tomorrow. Robert Covington will likely move into the starting lineup if Stauskas does miss the game.
As reported by: Rotoworld.com Nemanja Bjelica questionable Wednesday
Nemanja Bjelica is officially listed as questionable for Wednesday. The T’Wolves have used Adreian Payne as the backup PF and Gorgui Dieng as the backup C. Payne is averaging 16 minutes over his last 4 games with Dieng averaging 23 in that same span. Dieng is the better player of the two, but really only gets minutes behind Karl Anthony-Towns.
As reported by: TWolves on Twitter Luol Deng misses practice Tuesday
Deng has been battling a hamstring injury and missed practice on Tuesday. The Heat are traveling to Detroit for their next game against the Pistons. Deng did make the trip, but is listed as questionable for the game. Justise Winslow and Gerald Green would likely pick up the minutes left behind by Deng if he does miss the game.
