We are focusing on streams more than the storylines again.

Injury Report

To stay up-to-date on all of the injury news with up-to-the-minute updates, make sure to check out our LIVE Injury Report!

Note that teams have until 1 p.m. local time on the day of a game to submit their report for the second leg of a back-to-back, so look out for updates throughout the day as appropriate.

Teams that have a Friday-Saturday B2B:

Wizards

Marcus Smart (injury management) was out on Friday and Jaylen Martin was inactive.
We can likely expect Khris Middleton to sit on Saturday and Smart to return with unknowns for other players.

Brooklyn Nets @ Indiana Pacers

Game Time: 5:00 pm ET

DraftKings Lines

BKN +9 (+310), IND -9 (-395)
Game Total: 221.5

Key Storylines

Ziaire Williams questionable & D’Angelo Russell out: Cam Johnson is not on the injury report after sitting the previous game.

Tyrese Haliburton questionable: The Bennedict Mathurin show may continue if Haliburton remains out.

Stream of the Game

Bennedict Mathurin: This is if Haliburton is out. A boost in points, rebounds, FT% and maybe 3s. 

Alternatives:

Andrew Nembhard – points, 3s, assists, maybe steals
Keon Johnson – points, 3s, maybe assists
Ziaire Williams – questionable – 3s, steals, maybe more
Aaron Nesmith – 3s, steals, maybe points, rebounds
Day’Ron Sharpe – rebounds, defensive stats

–deep league line–
Noah Clowney – 3s, maybe blocks, maybe rebounds
Jalen Wilson – maybe 3s and pointa
Trendon Watford – balanced
T.J. McConnell – assists, steals

Golden State Warriors @ Atlanta Hawks

Game Time: 7:00 pm ET

DraftKings Lines

GSW -3 (-142), ATL +3 (+120)
Game Total: 229.5

Key Storylines

Stephen Curry re-evaluation on Monday: Gary Payton II is also questionable.

Trae Young and Caris LeVert probable: Also, Clint Capela is out for at least 3-to-4 weeks.

Stream of the Game

Zaccharie Risacher: The Hawks are the only team with the Saturday-Sunday back-to-back. If you need threes, points and rebounds then Risa is worth a look. 

Alternatives:

I assume Brandin Podziemski is rostered…
Caris LeVert – probable – points, 3s, assists
Georges Niang – 3s
Jonathan Kuminga – points, maybe rebounds
Quinten Post – 3s, maybe rebounds or blocks
Moses Moody – 3s, defensive stats
Buddy Hield – 3s, points
