What We Know

Kyrie Irving is expected to play with a facemask for a couple weeks

He's looking like a full-go, but keep an eye on Twitter as 7:30 nears. Shane Larkin will lose almost all of his minutes and he can be full ignored. Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier will also lose a few, but are still interesting against the Nets. Irving is a great play in all formats tonight if he is ruled in.

D'Angelo Russell will not play against the Celtics with a knee contusion

Russell is looking to lose a few games, which is going to cause a domino effect on this Nets squad. Minutes-wise, I see Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris LeVert benefiting most. I like Dinwiddie more tonight in a friendlier match-up. Production-wise, DeMarre Carroll and RHJ should get some extra shots. The Celtics aren't a bad defensive team, but these guys will all have a WAY HIGHER usage rate.

Norman Powell is out against the Rockets

Normal Powell isn't a huge fantasy factor, but he plays a bunch of minutes for the Raptors. OG Anunboy and Delon Wright are both already getting minutes and both will pick up 5-10 more. Anunboy is my favorite of the bunch, at a bit cheaper and presumably matching up with Harden. You can also lock in 35+ for DeRozan.

Every Lineup Guys

OG Anunoby FD - $3200 DK - $3000
Opponent - HOU
Proj Pts FD - 7.04 DK - 6.68

Nobody on this 3-game slate is a "must play", but OG Anunboy is coming in as the highest point per dollar projection in the optimizer. With Normal Powell ruled out, his 15 minutes a night should turn into at least 24+. At minimum price on both sites, he only needs to grab you about 20 to surpass value in cash games. He's proven himself as a guy who creates when on the court and doesn't just sit uselessly in the corner. If you want to pay up for the stars of the slate, there's a pretty easy way to do it with OG.
