What We Know

Derrick Rose and Carmelo Anthony have been ruled out against the Warriors

With two of there big stars out, Kristaps Porzingis is going to get plenty of shots. Brandon Jennings and Lance Thomas should also benefit, and both make interesting plays. The Warriors give up plenty of points, and I think you have to target the Knicks here.

Tim Frazier is out for 7-10 days

With Frazier out, Jrue Holiday will likely step in an play about 32-35 minutes. They take on the Pacers tonight, who play at a very fast pace. Holiday is a good play in both cash games and tournaments.

What We're Waiting to Know

Rajon Rondo is questionable against the Bucks

If Rondo is out, I look for Wade and Butler to benefit most. If Rondo plays, all 3 are decent plays, but the upside is not there. Milwaukee doesn't play too fast, and there defense is above average. I will likely avoid the Bulls in full tonight.

Alex Len is questionable against the Spurs

Len has been underwhelming as of late, and Chandler has gotten most of the duties at center. If Len misses, Chandler will have his minutes secured and makes for a pretty good play. If Len does play, I thin kCHandler is restricted to a GPP play only.

The "Every Lineup" Guys

Damian Lillard

Damian Lillard is really good, and he takes on a really bad defense. The Nuggets run a fast paced offense, and the Blazers have no issue running with them back and forth. The blazers have been throwing Lillard out there for a ton of minutes lately, and will likely continue to do so. He has been playing well, and I think he will tonight. He has a safe floor for cash games, and plenty of upside for tournaments.

Kristaps Porzingis

With both Rose and Anthony out, Kristaps Porzingis is going to have a ton of responsibility. He is going to get a bunch of shots, and against the Warriors, plenty will go in. They give up a ton of points and I expect Draymond green to struggle covering a guy that is 7 foot 2 inches. He is a safe play for both cash games and tournaments.
