Markel Brown Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

The Nets have not announced a starting lineup at this point, but it's certainly possible that Ellington will slide back into his normal role as the starting SG. Markel Brown likely slides back to the bench, and he wasn't performing well in his short stint as the starter anyway (his big performances came when the Nets were intentionally resting starters). Chris McCullough isn't on the DFS radar and won't negatively impact Thaddeus Young or Brook Lopez if this game stays somewhat competitive.

Bojan Bogdanovic will play Sunday against the Bucks after being rested on Friday night. Bogdanovic is a GPP play only. He has been up and down recently. Just look at his fantasy points from the last four games (23,10,19,32). Markel Brown will start for Wayne Ellington. Brown makes for a nice GPP punt play tonight. Brown started the last game for Bogdanovic, but finished with just 8 FD points in 28 minutes. Brown does have the upside for tournaments, just a couple games ago he had 42 FD points. He is just $4,100 on DK and $3,900 on FD. Sean Kilpatrick should see some extra minutes off the bench tonight.

The Nets are resting Bogdanovich tonight and Markel Brown will start in his place. Brown becomes a top value option at the SG position going against the 76ers. While inconsistent, Brown has plenty of upside as evidenced by a 27.7 and 40.1 FanDuel fpts games in two of his last three.

Wayne Ellington will be starting tonight even though he exited last night's game with a concussion. Ellington's availability puts a damper on Markel Brown's fantasy value. Ellington is a tournament play only against the Lakers.

Wayne Ellington will be available to play tonight but has not been confirmed as the starter. If Ellington does play, Markel Brown would lose most of his DFS value. Bojan Bogdanovic will also see fewer shots with Ellington in the lineup.

Joe Johnson has been waived by the Nets. He's not eligible to be claimed at this time but is set to clear waivers at 5PM on Saturday. He'll land with a contender and should push for an important bench role wherever he ends up, but he's unlikely to see the court nearly as much as he was in Brooklyn. As for the Nets, they'll now count heavily on Wayne Ellington at the SG spot and will likely start either Markel Brown or Bojan Bogdanovic at the 3, although neither Brown or Bogdanovic are appealing DFS options tonight. Ellington is a solid GPP punt play while Donald Sloan is now playable in any format given his price tag.

Markel Brown will be starting in place of the struggling Bojan Bogdanovic. This marks Brown's 4th start of the season and he makes for a low-end punt play with his minimum salary on DK. Brown played 20 minutes last night and still was not able to make much of an impact. Avoid Brown until he can prove that he deserves to be on rosters.
