Key Notes:

We have a nice seven game slate tonight, and I tried to be thoughtful with the playbook and give lots of options (41). Some positions are deeper than others and there will be breaking news that makes some of those worthless by tip off. In other words, water is wet. 

With that being said, here are some situations that should be tracked leading up to lineup lock:

Facing Detroit, Philadelphia might be a good source of value with Ben Simmons , Joel Emblid, and Seth Curry all questionable. It's worth noting that the 76ers did play last night. Tobias Harris gets a bump here from an offensive perspective, but Dwight Howard and Mike Scott having some relevance. Shake Milton and George Hill also warrant attention. 

Donovan Mitchell remains out in Utah and Mike Conley is a game time decision with a hamstring injury, so there is value to be found there with Bojan Bogdanovic , Jordan Clarkson , and Joe Ingles .

Houston is dealing with multiple issues, and the number of active/healthy they have bears watching; especially Christian Wood and Kevin Porter .

Toronto will be resting both Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet tonight so that elevates Gary Trent Jr. and Malachi Flynn. Flynn has struggled as of late, he gets the backcourt to himself tonight with the two veterans being inactive. OG Anunoby and Chris Boucher are also out tonight, so we have more interest than normal in Pascal Siakam . 

Malcolm Brogdon and Edmond Sumner are game time decisions so there are potential bumps for Caris LeVert , T.J. McConnell and Aaron Holliday. 

Kelly Oubre is out so that bodes well for Golden State's other perimeter players and scoring options. 

Core Players: Facunco Campazzo/Domantas Sabonis /Kelly Olynyk /Bojan Bogdanovic (FD) or Jaren Jackson Jr (DK)
