Welcome to the daily updates and injury news article. We'll try and update it right up to line-up locks with as much information as comes across our desks. Let's get to it!
Last night's picks can be found here, so you can wrap your mind around what you need to be looking at before lineups lock tonight.
By the way - we keep our projection system updated with all of the changes as they occur throughout the day right up until lineup lock. Every day. If you want access to that system so you can cut out a lot of the research element, click the button below!
With Robert Covington being upgraded to probable, there isn't much injury news on the day. Dante Cunningham is the only guy questionable and he isn't a guy who makes much of an impact.
This is just a go ahead on the east coast games. They looked to be in jeopardy earlier in the day but are good to go now.
Warriors starters will play after resting last game
Curry, Thompson, and Draymond Green all rested against the Spurs. They will be back in full force tonight and ready to start another win streak.
Cousins is one of my favorite options on the board tonight in what figures to be a very fast-paced game. Cousins and Davis will both be popular tonight, but I think Cousins comes in a bit lower-owned and there are some options that I like at PF. In turn, Cousins is who we prefer here in both cash and tourneys. He will face off with Jusuf Nurkic, who is far too slow and unathletic to stay with Boogie. While Nurkic has hightened the Portland interior defense, they are still one of the worst interiors in the game.
Oladipo may not be the elusive scorer that Westbrook is or anywhere near the rebounder,r but he's been getting it done. With Westbrook insanely expensive (albeit a fantastic play), you may want some cheaper exposure. Oladipo certainly gives you that at under $6.5k on both sites. The Nets are one of the absolute best match-ups in the league from SG's as they have given up over 41 FP per game to the respective position. Oladipo is a quality play in all formats.
