Key News
Ben Simmons did not go through shootaround and is questionable to play. Seth Curry started at point guard the other night when Simmons was out. Shake Mitlton has already been ruled out. Joel Embiid has a usage rate over 40% with Simmons off the floor. Tobias Harris becomes an ELITE option with Simmons off the floor as well in this matchup against the Bulls.
Kyle Lowry is questionable to play. IF Lowry sits out you can bump the usage for VanVleet, Powell and Siakam tonight in a great spot againt the Timberwolves.
Steven Adams is questionable to play tonight. Willy Hernangomez has been terrific off the bench lately and is the clear spend down play at the center position.
Suns/Pelicans & Thunder/Bucks both have slate highs 231 game totals. Suns are three-point favorites while the Bucks are 10-point favorites.
Kawhi Leonard and Paul George remain questionable for tonight's game. They tip off at 10pm ET against the Jazz. If either or both sit, Lou Williams and Marcus Morris continue to see increased value.
Desmond Bane is returning to the lineup tonight for Memphis. He had been starting prior to leaving the team due to personal reasons. With Dillon Brooks and De'Anthony Melton questionable I think Bane should return to the starting lineup and see his 25-to-30 minutes at an under-$4,000 price tag.
Draymond Green is expected to play but still considered a game-time-decision. IF he plays the matchup against Orlando is a favorable one. IF he sits, Kelly Oubre is a core play and Eric Paschall becomes a nice value option.
