Update - It seems like the Hawks key players are all going to suit up Friday against the Lakers. Los Angeles Lakersīogdan Bogdanovic (conditioning) Available It seems like Denver’s rotation is likely to closest to normal for the first time in a while due to injuries and protocols. Update - Green is expected to take the floor for the Nuggets Friday. Update - Both Hyland and Gordon will take the floor for the Nuggets Friday. Isaiah Roby (protocols) OUT Sacramento Kings vs. This is a tough blow for the Rockets, who were hoping to evaluate their rookie center. Sengun is out another week with his ankle injury. DFS has scored in double figures in six straight games. Dorian Finney-Smith ($5,300) feels like a great play given how he’s looked lately. The Rockets may keep things close enough and the game script would be perfect. The Mavericks likely won’t have Doncic, so we can fire up Jalen Brunson ($7,000) in tournaments at this price point. Update - Doncic, who was doubtful to play, has been officially ruled out for Friday’s game. Montrezl Harrell (protocols) QuestionableĪlex Caruso (protocols) OUT Dallas Mavericks vs. O’Neale ($4,100) is a great play if he’s ruled in. We already know Mitchell, Gobert and Conley are out. The Jazz won’t have a handful of starters for their matchup vs. He’s a great play in fantasy and DFS formats, although it’s hard to say how efficient he’ll be with lesser players around him. Update - The Jazz have essentially ruled out their entire rotation outside of Gay. The Jazz are down to backup players across the board. Update - Gay has also been ruled out due to a heel issue and personal reasons. Kyrie Irving (home game) OUT Utah Jazz vs. He’s got a lot of upside as well Nwora had a stretch of four games recently when he averaged around 19 points. If the Bucks are missing all these rotation players, Nwora should play a ton of minutes. Jordan Nwora ($5,000) is one of my favorite plays on the slate. With everyone out, the Bucks will lean on Giannis Antetokounmpo ($11,400) and Khris Middleton ($7,900). The Bucks are missing key players, including Holiday, who was placed into protocols on Thursday.
Update - After missing Wednesday’s game with an illness, Antetokounmpo is ready to go for Friday’s game against Nets. Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) Available If you were considering it, he’s going to be on a minutes limit tonight vs. Update - Not that you’re going to want to play Green after the infamous zero stat line. Matisse Thybulle (conditioning) Will Play Bryn Forbes and Jock Landale are both under $4K and are good value options, especially if Walker and Cook remain out. Jakob Poeltl ($6,200) is another good play he’s reached a double-double in four of the last five games. Dejounte Murray ($9,600) is up top and is a good tournament option. It’ll open up plenty of good DFS plays for tonight’s slate. Lonnie Walker IV (conditioning) Available
