Anthony Davis Doubtful Sunday
The Pelicans have listed Davis doubtful for Sunday. This is the 1st game of the day, so we will know for sure in plenty of time. If he can’t go, Ryan Anderson will once again start in his place. He has played over 30 minutes in the last two games without Davis. He makes a great play at $6,000 on FD and $6,200 on DK. With Davis out, Eric Gordon also sees a bump up in usage. He has taken over 20 shots in his last two games.

Jeff Teague Doubtful for Sunday
Teague hurt his ankle Friday night, and it looks like he will be unable to go on Sunday. The Hawks list him as doubtful on their injury report. If he can’t go, Dennis Schroder will start in his place. Although, the Hawks have a tough matchup against the Jazz, Schroder will hard be to pass up in your lineups. He is just $4,300 on DK and $4,600 on FD.
As reported by: Chris Vivlamore Brandon Rush to Start for the Warriors
With Klay Thompson out, Brandon Rush will get the start Saturday night against the Nets. Rush has hardly played this season, so don’t look for him to get a ton of minutes. Look for Harrison Barnes and Andre Iguodala to get a lot more usage with Thompson out. There are both around 5K on DK. Shaun Livingston should also get some more minutes.
As reported by: John Dickinson Klay Thompson out Saturday
Thompson will miss Saturday’s game due to back soreness. We will have to wait to see who starts for Thompson. It could be Shaun Livingston or maybe someone like Brandon Rush. With Thompson out, look for Harrison Barnes and Andre Iguodala to get a lot more usage. They are both around 5K on DK.
As reported by: Carl Steward Markieff Morris out, Jon Leuer to Start
Morris will miss Saturday’s game with a knee sprain. With Morris out Jon Leuer will start. He makes for a nice punt play; he is two hundred over the minimum price on both sites. Last game, he played well when Morris left and finished with a double-double against the Clippers in 24 minutes. Now he gets to face the Nuggets frontcourt. TJ Warren will also likely see some more minutes.
As reported by: Paul Coro Joffrey Lauvergne still out Saturday
Lavuvergne will miss another game tonight, but he said he feels much better and hopes to play Tuesday at New Orleans. J.J. Hickson will likely start again, he is the ultimate GPP play. Over the last three games he has played at least 23 minutes. He has a nice price on FD at $4,400.
As reported by: Chris Dempsey Clint Capela to Start
Clint Capela will start for Dwight Howard on Sunday. He is only a GPP play only. Capela just doesn’t get the minutes; he has only topped 20 minutes twice this season. Maybe if he was min. price, but he is in the 4s on both sites. Terrence Jones is the play here at only $5,400 on FD. He is coming off a 37 FD point game last night.
As reported by: Jenny Dial Creech Mavs starters: Williams, Felton, Anderson, Villanueva, Pachulia
The Mavs are just a DFS mess; none of these players are safe plays. The only safe play for the Mavs tonight seems to be Dwight Powell. He produces in limited minutes. Although he is not starting tonight, he should get a ton of minutes. He had a double-double last night in only 22 minutes of play. He makes a great play at $4,500 on FD.
As reported by: Dwain Price Confirmed: Nowitzki and Matthews out
We will have to wait and see you the Mavs start tonight. Expect Williams and Pachulia to start after that it is a guessing game. The only really play for the Mavs tonight besides Pachulia, is Dwight Powell, whether he starts or not. He makes a great play at $4,500 on FD. He had a double-double last night in only 22 minutes of play.
As reported by: Chuck Cooperstein Kyle Anderson to start for Leonard
With Kawhi Leonard out, Kyle Anderson will start in his place. Anderson is min. price and makes a nice GPP punt play. The one thing to like about Leonard is that he can fill up the stat sheet in multiple categories. Still with Leonard out the big boost comes to LaMarcus Aldridge He is only $7,000 on DK.
As reported by: Paul Garcia Michael Carter-Williams to Start
Michael Carter Williams will return to the starting lineup on Saturday night. With this being his 1st game back, he is only a GPP play, because his minutes are not safe. With MCW back, Jerryd Bayless and Greivis Vasquez will split back PG duties and hurting their value.
As reported by: Bucks Mavs plan to rest Dirk Nowitzki and Wes Matthews Tonight
The Mavs are playing their third game in four nights, so they are giving Dirk Nowitzki and Wes Matthews a rest. Chandler Parson was already confirmed out. We will have to wait and see who the Mavs decided to start, but this is a huge bump up to Dwight Powell. He makes a great play at $4,500 on FD. He had a double-double last night in only 22 minutes of play.
As reported by: ESPN Patrick Beverley out Saturday
Beverley will not play because of a sore ankle. This means James Harden and Ty Lawson are going to play a ton of minutes tonight. Harden is a top cash game play, while Lawson makes a great GPP play. Lawson really struggled last night scoring no points in 34 minutes against his old team.
As reported by: Earl Sneed CJ Watson still out Saturday
Watson will miss another game because of a sore calf. This really doesn’t affect too much as Fournier and Payton are going to get a ton of minutes. Shabazz Napier will get some more minutes off the bench.
As reported by: Josh Robbins Howard out Saturday
Dwight Howard will not play Saturday as expected; he has not played in back-to-back games this season. Clint Capela will likely start, but he is only a GPP play. Capela just doesn’t get the minutes; he has only topped 20 minutes twice this season. Terrence Jones is the play here at only $5,400 on FD. He is coming off a 37 FD point game last night.
