NBA NEWS and notes 12/20
 
BOS: Robert Williams - OUT
BOS: Marcus Smart - OUT
BOS: Gordon Hayward - Questionable
• Kemba Walker has a high 36% usage rate and averages 1.57 fantasy points per min with Smart and Hayward off the floor
• Kanter, Theis and Williams will all spend time playing Center - Kanter has the highest upside but it's tough to go there with such limit in min
DAL: Delon Wright - Questionable
DAL: Seth Curry - Questionable
DAL: Luka Doncic - OUT
• Brunson is going to have to play as many min. as he can handle if Seth Curry and Delon Wright are both out Brunson is no longe a punt value priced at 6.4k on DK and 5.7k on FD - he has over 30 fp in 3 straight games
• T. Hardaway Jr and Dorian Finney Smith can be considered if Wright and Curry end up being out,l simply because the Mavs are running out of bodies to play
DET: Christian Wood - OUT
DET : Luke Kennard - Doubtful
DET: Blake Griffin - Doubtful
• Markief Morris is going to be a good value option tonight with Wood out and Griffin doubtful
• Bruce Brown is a solid value target with Kennard out, even though not mentioned on the pod he scored 40 and 50 fantasy points in 2 of his last 3 games when he played close to 30 minutes in each game
• Andre Drummond and Derrick Rose get bumps with Blake Griffin out - The Celtics have nobody that can handle Dummond and he should get close to another double double game tonight
IND: TJ Warren - Questionable
IND: Jeremy Lamb - Questionable
• The Holiday bros, Justin and Aaron would be punt value options if Warren and or Lamb are out
MEM: Grayson Allen - Questionable
• if Allen is out De'Anthony Melton should get some extra minutes
MIA: Goran Dragic - Questionable
MIA: Justise Winslow - OUT
• if Dragic is back Derrick Jones Jr and Duncan Robinson will lose some minutes so not much interest
MIN: Jarrett Culver - Questionable
MIN: Karl Anthony Towns - Questionable
• Gorgui Dieng will start and be a value option if Towns is out
• Wiggins has a 30% usage rate with Towns off the floor
• Teague gets a boost with Towns out as well and he's cheap for the increased usage he would see
NYK: Wayne Ellington - OUT
• not much Here Ntilikina, Payton and Smith all back in the fold
PHO: Cameron Johnson - OUT
PHO: DeAndre Ayton - OUT
PHO: Devin Booker - Questionable
• With Baynes out, Frank Kaminsky, Aron Baynes and even Dario Saric will all see boosts - Kaminsky is my favorite of this group
SAC: Bogdan Bogdanovic - Questionable
• Trevor Ariza would see more minutes if Bogdanovic is out
TOR: Normal Powell - OUT
TOR: Fred VanVleet - Questionable
TOR: Pascal Siakam - OUT
TOR: Marc Gasol - OUT
• This is an great spot for the Raptors vs the Wizards tonight and they should have a very tight rotation with all these injuries - If VanVleet is OUT the Lowy is a LOCK in all formatsVanVleet was upgraded to Questionable so he would start for Powell if he plays
• Serge Ibaka will start at Center for Gasol - He's a great play vs the Wizards and should see 30 min. Or more
• Anunoby, Hollis Jefferson, and Boucher will all get minutes increases with Siakam out - I like them in that order
WAS: Moe Wagner - OUT
WAS: Rui Hachimura - OUT
• Davis Bertans is the guy we want to target here He is playing 35+ minutes per game with Hachimura out and he's producing great fantasy points for his price
• Ian Mahinmi will start again but he only plays around 24 minutes
• Anzejs Pasecniks played 28 minutes last game and could be a solid value option here as well
Here are the latest adjustments:
Aaron Holiday with start for Jeremy Lamb
AC - De'Aaron Fox
SAC - Marvin Bagley
• will both play off the bench again tonight both Gpp play only
Bojan Bogdanovic is OUT, since this is the case, Fox now has a better matchup per the min. he does play.
Fred VanVleet WILL PLAY in fact will start along with McCaw, Anunoby and Ibaka
makes this up for consideration again because we thought Boucher and Jefferson would see big minutes tonight and we never really considered McCaw. I still would not play McCaw as he's a risk for me.
BOS - Semi Ojeleye starting for Hayword. Really only a GPP play.
