 NBA NEWS and notes 12/27/19
ATL: Alen Len - Doubtful
• John Collins could play some Center and we should get extra minutes for Damian Jones and Bruno Fernando both are risky options
BOS: Marcus Smart - Questionable
• Brad Wanamaker would get more run off the bench if Smart is out - he's a risky play with Hayword back
CHA: PJ Washington - Probable
• with Washington back, Batum will go back to his bench role
CLE: Larry Nance - Questionable
• if Nance is out, Cedi Osman, Kevin Porter Jr, and John Henson should get some extra minutes - none are very exciting
GSW: Kevon Looney - OUT
GSW: Eric Paschall - Questionable
• Willie Cauley Stein should get solid minutes here with Looney out
• Draymond Green should play his normal minutes with Looney out and Paschall Questionable
IND: Malcolm Brogdon - OUT
• Aaron Holiday will start at point guard and become a solid value on Fanduel at only $4,700
MIA: Justise Winslow - OUT

MIL: Eric Bledsoe - OUT
• Giannis gets a big usage bump up to 39% with Bledsoe off the floor - Middleton gets a bump as well but not as huge

ORL: Michael Carter Williams - OUT
• DJ Augustin will get MCW's minutes - he's worth a shot in MME builds
PHI: Matisse Thybulle - OUT
• Furkan Korkmaz will play 20 ish minutes with Thybulle out, he's nothing more than a GPP dart throw

• Aron Baynes will start at Center at just $4,100 on Fanduel he'll be extremely high owned in a good matchup vs the Warriors
ORL - Mo Bamba is OUT
• not huge news but Khem Birch will get more minutes as backup Center tonight.
OKC - Dennis Schroder - downgraded to Questionable tonight
• if he's out this is a boost for CP3 and Shai Alexander and we could see Deonte Burton get some minutes.

• this is HUGE news with Bledsoe already out
• Khris Middleton is an absolute LOCK with these two off the floor
• Ersan Illyasova gets a big bump and will likely start
