Anthony Bennett Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections
Brook Lopez will not play (rest) on Tuesday for Brooklyn
Lopez will get an unexpected day off tomorrow - typically we'd think Justin Hamilton would benefit but he's not played much of late so it'll likely be Anthony Bennett and Luis Scola who benefit the most in terms of minutes.
Anthony Bennett will start in place of Trevor Booker (illness) tonight
Bennett will draw the start at power forward in tonight's game against the Milwaukee Bucks for the injured Trevor Booker. He is likely a starter in name only but could pay off as a pure punt in tournaments on the all day slates, as he is still likely to see over 20 minutes for the stone minimum around the industry. Brook Lopez unsurprisingly sees the biggest bump in value with Booker off the court this season, as he owns an elite 35.5% usage rate (3.6% increase), while averaging 1.35 DraftKings and 1.27 FanDuel points per minute respectively. On top of the increased usage, there will a plethora of extra rebounding opportunities available in Booker's absence against this horrendous Bucks' frontcourt defense.
