NBA NEWS 01/08 notes
ATL: Jabari Parker - OUT
ATL: Bruno Fernando - OUT
• Collins is the main target we want with Len and Jones as secondary bigs we can target in good
• if we think ATL is going to go small vs HOU we should target Hunter, and Reddish
BOS: Daniel Theis - Questionable
BOS: Kemba Walker - Questionable
• Smart will start again at point guard if Walker is out
• boosts to Tatum, Brown and Hayward without Walker
• Enes Kanter would get more run if Theis is out
CHA: Marvin Williams - Questionable
• PJ Washington & Miles Bridges will get extra run if Marvin Wililams is out
CHI: Wendell Carter - OUT
• Markkanen, Young and Gafford will get extra minutes with Carter out - I like them in that order at 1st glance
Markkanen could also miss this game no official status yet
DAL: Kristaps Porzingis - OUT
• Luka Doncic will do everything with Porzingis out
• Powell and Kleber will get solid minutes and be in value consideration
DEN: Will Barton - OUT
• Monte Morris, Gary Harris, Malik Beasley and Jamal Murray see a bump with Barton out of LU
GSW: Kevon Looney - OUT
GSW: Marquesse Chriss - OUT
GSW: D'Angelo Russell - OUT
• Paschall and Spellman are value options
• Alec Burks is the defacto offensive leader with Russell out
HOU: Russell Westbrook - OUT
• James Harden lock button of course
• look Gordon, Rivers, McClemore for value options with Westbrook out
IND: Domantas Sabonis - Questionable
IND: Malcolm Brogdon - Questionable
• Miles Turner and TJ Warren get bumps here if Sabonis is out
• Holiday will start if Brogdon is out, he's no longer a great value play because his price has risen
MIA - Justise Winslow - Questionable
• Upgrade for Nunn and Herro is Winslow is out
MIL: George Hill - OUT
• Divencenzo will get more run with Hill is out, not sure if he starts, but will for sure get more minutes
NOP: Jrue Holiday - OUT
• upgrade for Ingram, with Holiday out he will get a ton of usage
• upgrade for Ball, Reddick and Hart as well - Hart started last game and is a decent value option
NYK: has Dennis Smith Jr - Questionable
NYK: Marcus Morris - Questionable
• Frank Ntilikina gets a big minutes bump if either of these guys is out - if they are both out he will play a ton
ORL: Jonathan Isaac - OUT
• Vucevic and Gordon get the biggest bumps in production here
• Iwundu has been starting but he is a low usage low ceiling player
TOR: Fred VanVleet - OUT
• Lowry will run the show with VanVleet out
• McCaw played 36 min. last game and he's a good value option in this spot
WAS: Garrison Matthews - OUT
WAS: Bradley Beal - Questionable
• McCrae is the guy we want if Beal is out, with Beal off the floor he's been awesome
• Ish Smith and Troy Brown are value options as well with Beal out

Hey guys, missed the 7p lock Showdown, but here for the 8pm Chi/NO game
For Cash, I would say get as much Ingram and Ball as Captains for Cash.
For GPP's you could go a number of different directions including those above.
Markkanen looks like he's good to go unless we hear otherwise. He's in play for a captain or 2 for MME>
Also, you don't want to miss out on some Lavin of course, and I even get a couple T. Young captains in there
with how's he's been playing.
For Utility spots, mix and max use Hart and E. Moore for Cash and GPP,
and D. Gafford and J. Hayes for GP only.
Use Reddick for both as well in play. Saturansky for MME.
