Leading up to lineup lock, below some of the injury news we are either keeping an eye on or that will impact the slate. I wish that this was an inclusive list, but unfortunately that is not the case as instead they are just some of the bigger items that are part of my thought process.
- Trae Young - He was a game time decision with an ankle injury, but it is being reported that he will be active tonight. Young didn't part the morning shoot-around. Delon Wright would move into the starting lineup and makes a solid GPP value dart, but instead I would look more to Kevin Huerter and Bogdan Bogdanovic to pick up the load offensively.
- Fred VanVleet - VanVleet is out so that puts Malachi Flynn on our radar.
- OG Anunoby - Out. This means more volume for Scottie Barnes as we have been seeing as of late. Gary Trent Jr. also benefits offensively from both Toronto injuries.
- Kyle Lowry - Out. I'm looking at both Tyler Herro and Gabe Vincent here against Brooklyn. It should also be noted that Jimmy Butler is out with a toe injury after a rough performance last night. Miami banged up in general as Max Strus and Caleb Martin are also dealing with injuries.
- Jaylen Brown - Out. Jayson Tatum should have another big game here and I also like Grant Williams as a cheaper option.
From a game stack perspective, Sacramento and San Antonio with an over/under of 243 is the clear winner.
