Beal out, Temple to start
Beal will miss another game with a shoulder injury. Many thought Gary Neal would start for Beal, but instead it’s Garrett Temple getting the start. Temple is min. price on both sites, and is a GPP play option only. Neal is no longer a value play. This news gives a huge boost to John Wall, he is right there with Curry as the top PG play of the night. Also give a slight bump up to Otto Potter.

Beal to go through warmups to determine if he can play
Beal will go through warmups tonight to see if he can play against the Magic. Head coach Randy Wittman on Beal playing tonight: “Hes going to get banged around (during warmups) and we’ll see. If Beal is out, Gary Neal will likely start and make a nice punt play.
As reported by: J. Michael Clippers to start: Rivers , Crawford, Pierce, Griffin, Jordan
The Clippers will have a new starting lineup on Saturday with Paul and Reddick out. With Jamal Crawford starting he is one of the top punt options on this slate. He is just $3,800 on DK. Rivers is still a GPP punt play. With this news you can just ignore Pablo Prigioni. Paul Pierce is starting, but he can be ignored in your DFS lineups. The big boost goes to Blake Griffin, he should be one of the top plays on this slate
As reported by: Dan Woike Chris Paul and J.J. Redick out Saturday
Paul will miss another game Saturday because of his groin injury. Last game, with Paul and Redick out the Clippers started Pablo Prigioni at PG, and Austin Rivers at SG. Jamal Crawford came off the bench and scored 18 points. Prigioni played just 23 minutes, while Rivers got 34. All three are cheap GPP plays. The big boost should go to Blake Griffin, and he should be well rested after getting ejected on Thursday night.
As reported by: Dan Woike Manu Ginobili out Saturday
Ginobili will miss Saturday’s game with a groin injury. With Ginobili out, Danny Green should get more minutes. He has had a disappointing start to the season, but is only around the $4,000 on both sites. Patty Mills should also see some extra minutes and if this game with the 76ers turns it to a blowout he makes an intriguing GPP play.
As reported by: Paul Garcia Kawhi Leonard out Saturday
Leonard will not play Saturday due to an illness. Until the Spurs announce the starting lineup, it is tough to say who will get Leonard’s minutes. Rasual Butler could see some extra minutes, but LaMarcus Aldridge should get a big bump up in usage tonight against the 76ers. He is only $7,000 on DK.
As reported by: Spurs Bradley Beal misses shootaround
Beal missed shootaround this morning as the Wizards prepare to play the Magic tonight. Beal also missed yesterday’s practice. As of right now he is still listed as questionable for tonight’s game, but it is looking more likely that he won’t play. If he doesn’t play, Gary Neal will once again likely start in his place. He makes for a nice punt play, he is min. price on FD, and only $3,200 on DK.
As reported by: J. Michael Chandler Parsons out Saturday
Parsons will sit out the second of back-to-back games for the Mavs. Dallas is just a hard DFS team to target; this may give an extra bump to Wesley Matthews. Raymond Felton will likely start in Parson’s place.
As reported by: Chuck Cooperstein Victor Oladipo out Saturday
Oladipo will miss another game with a concussion Saturday. Without him last night, the Magic started Evan Fournier at SG, Tobias Harris at SF, and Channing Frye at PF. Fournier is a safe cash play, he had 31 FD points last night against a tough Utah defense. He is mostly a play on FD where he is $5,600. Harris has been up and down this season, and is coming off his best game of the season against Utah. Frye is a GPP punt play only, and is only $3,200 on DK. That being said you can only trust Fournier to get the minutes, because of Scott Skiles rotations especially on a back-to-back.

J.J. Hickson starting now, not Foye
The Nuggets coaches made a change at the last minute to match the size of the Rockets. J.J. Hickson started to match up with Dwight Howard. Foye will be coming off the bench and does not have much value.
As reported by: Jonathan Feigen on Twitter Dwight Howard playing Friday
Dwight Howard will be starting and likely sit out tomorrow’s game. The Rockets play back-to-back and Howard has only played one game on these sets so far this season. Montrezl Harrell is starting at PF, and both players are great options against a weak Nuggets frontcourt.
As reported by: Rotoworld.com Marcus Thornton not starting, Montrezl Harrell in
Montrezl Harrell will be starting at PF and could be a great late-swap pivot. The Nuggets get destroyed by opposing big men, and Harrell plays well when he gets minutes. When he gets 20+ minutes he gets up to 5x value. Marcus Thornton will be coming off the bench and would likely have a diminished role. The Nuggets play uptempo, so he can come and be that spark off the bench.
As reported by: Fantasy Labs on Twitter Randy Foye starting, not Will Barton
Randy Foye will be in the starting lineup with Mudiay, Harris, Gallinari, and Faried. Foye will likely be guarded by Harden while on the defensive end Harris will guard Harden. Jameer Nelson is also available and Will Barton will be coming off the bench as well. The Nuggets will need to score a ton to keep up with the Rockets, so look for all these players to get some usage.
As reported by: Rotoworld.com Seth Curry to play Friday
As mentioned earlier, Seth Curry will be playing tonight for the Kings. While he is not expected to make a huge impact, he could help and Rondo from having to play the entire game
