NBA DFS Core Plays: November 1

Tobias Harris HAS BEEN RULED OUT. THIS IS MASSIVE NEWS & IMPLICATIONS.

Numbers w/o Embiid & Harris this year;

Korkmaz 26.5% USG, 1.2 FP/min
Thubulle 1.03 FP/min
Niang 21% USG .93 FP/min
Drummond 21% USG, 1.45 FP/min
Milton 30% YSG 1.39 FP/min
Maxey, 31/7% USG, .88 FP/min

The big news of the day is that Joel Embiid has been ruled OUT.

With Embiid out, Andre Drummond is a lock-and-load. Tobias Harris becomes a lock on FD (7.4K) & Yahoo! ($31) but on DK (9.1K) it really makes you think about it.

Some other strong options w/ Embiid out; Tyrese Maxey, Shake Milton

In other news, Ja Morant randomly popped up on the injury report as QUESTIONABLE. 

If Morant were to sit, firs of all it would be tough for Memphis to stay overly competitive despite playing at home, but if they were able to..

Top-tier; De'Anthony Melton, Jaren Jackson Jr., Desmond Bane

Second tier; Kyle Anderson

Malcolm Brogdon is OUT. Caris LeVert is IN. Jeremy Lamb is also OUT.

Domantas Sabonis is too expensive for my taste, same with Caris LeVert. TJ McConnell isn't completely off my radar as he should still play a bunch of minutes.

What to do w/ Chris Duarte is the question? For me, he feels slightly overpriced. What's his upside at the price points he's at? Since the first game, Duarte hasn't topped 30 FDP. He hasn't hit 30 DKP since the second game of the year.

Monitor starting lineups for Memphis w/ Morant questionable, Oklahoma City with Lu Dort ruled OUT.
