NBA NEWS and notes 12/26
BKN: Kyrie Irving - OUT
• Dinwiddie is the man with Kyrie out, and he has a 34% usage rate with Irving and Levert off the floor
DAL: Luka Doncic - Questionable
• Jalen Brunson and Delon Wright get usage bumps if Doncic is out - I like Brunson over Wright for $ games
• if Doncic plays Brunson and Wright out of my LU's
DET: Luke Kennard - OUT
DET: Bruce Brown -Q
• with Kennard out Svi Mykhailiuk and Langston Galloway become GPP dart throws with a few extra minutes each
• if Brown is out, Derrick Rose gets a big bump - he has a 32% usage rate with Kennard and Brown off the floor
MIN - Shabazz Napier - Q
MIN - Karl Anthony Towns - Q
• Jordan McLaughlin will play for Napier if he is out
• Gorgui Dieng will start again if KAT is out, he's been solid but he's not a super value anymore as his price has risen
NYK - Wayne Ellington - Questionable
NYK - Marcus Morris - Questionable
• Kevin Knox will start if Moris is out, he's a boom or bust GPP play at best
SAC - Bogdan Bogdanovic - Questionable
• Ariza and Joseph would get some extra minutes if Bogdanovic is out
UTA - Mike Conley - OUT
• Ingles and Mitchell will be the primary ball handlers with Conley out
• Mudiay gets a boost with the second unit but he's a GPP only play
WAS: Jordan McRae - Questionable
WAS: Moe Wagner - OUT
WAS: Rui Hachimura - OUT
WAS: Davis Bertan - OUT
WAS: Iaiah Thomas - OUT
• Ian Mahimni will start at Center, he has scored 25+ fantasy points in 3 of his last 4 games
• Admiral Schofield started last game, but only played 18 minutes
• Troy Brown played 32 minutes off the bench last game and scored 50+ fantasy points and he's not priced up on both site but given the minutes he should see he's going to be in play
• Ish Smith should start again, he played 25 min last game and scored 30 fantasy points
• Gary Payton blew up last game with 45+ fantasy points in 30 minutes - 6 steals! you can't rely on, however, he's still a solid value option today
