Tiago Splitter Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Rodriguez has been out since March 26th and is out once again today meaning T.J. McConnell will likely start at PG and be a viable DFS option. Gerald Henderson and Tiago Splitter are both available but are not viable DFS options while Dario Saric will continue to be on a 24 minute limit thus removing him as a viable DFS play.

Rodriguez hasn't played since March 26th and is out again today meaning T.J. McConnell will once again get the start at PG and be a viable DFS option, especially facing the Brooklyn Nets. Gerald Henderson and Tiago Splitter are both probable but are not viable DFS options while news came out today that phenom rookie Dario Saric will be on a 24 minute limit the remainder of the season thus removing him as a viable DFS play.

Neither player should log significant playing time and are not viable DFS options. They will take a few minutes, however, from the likes of Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Nik Stauskas though so give them a slight downgrade.

Okafor will not play in tonight's game against the Atlanta Hawks after previously being listed as questionable on the Sixers' injury report with a sore right knee that has now forced him to miss four consecutive games. Robert Covington has also been ruled out with a sore right knee despite never being assigned an injury designation at any point during the day, while Gerald Henderson and Tiago Splitter have been listed as probable. The news of Henderson being expected to play is the most interesting takeaway here, as he will likely backup Justin Anderson and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot on the wing and see substantial playing time. However, Anderson, Stauskas, and Luwawu-Cabarrot are all preferred targets in any format over Henderson, while T.J. McConnell and Dario Saric still remain elite options in all formats and should see a nice usage bump without Covington and Okafor available.

Rodriguez will not play in tonight's game against the Brooklyn Nets after previously being listed as questionable on the Sixers' injury report with a strained left hamstring. His absence from the rotation significantly raises the minute floor of T.J. McConnell, making him an elite tournament pivot off chalkier options like Tyler Ulis and Ish Smith at point guard. Nik Stauskas is also now in play for tournaments, as he will be required to soak up some backup point guard minutes and extra reserve shooting guard minutes with Gerald Henderson sidelined as well. Additionally, Tiago Splitter will be available to make his Sixers' debut after being recalled from the D-League earlier in the day. His role in the rotation remains unknown but does make Shawn Long a less appealing tournament option given the risk of losing some minutes to Splitter.

Okafor remains out for Philadelphia while Henderson has been ruled out after playing in the teams last game with left hip soreness. Sergio Rodriguez has been downgraded to questionable while Tiago Splitter went through the team shootaround and is also questionable. Richaun Holmes will continue to be the biggest beneficiary of Okafor sitting and is a viable option going against Brook Lopez and the Nets tonight. Rodriguez is coming off a solid outing but has been downgraded to questionable with hamstring tightness. If he can't go, T.J. McConnell will see all the work he can handle at the point. With Henderson out and Rodriguez shaky, expect Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot to log some heavy minutes as well.
