Welcome to the DFS Army NBA 1st look article. In this article, I’ll try to give you a quick glance at the NBA slate each morning. I’ll go over some of the Vegas info and some of the Injury situations we’re monitoring throughout the league.
Did you know?
DFS Army already has 2 staff Members who have qualified for the Fanduel NBA World Championships? Coach @DFSLoosmeister and Coach @MrBearHere have locked in their seats for the World Championships in a few months. The good news is there is still plenty of time for you to grab a seat of your own!
These are just 2 of the most recent examples of the 100’s of huge winners we’ve had in NFL and NBA over the years and we’re not planning on slowing down any time soon. Cash Games, Single Entry Tournaments, MME 150 GPP’s we simply DOMINATE. I promise you’re not gonna want to miss out on a single day of this.

💥 Who’s Out? Who’s Questionable? What it means…
LAL LeBron James, Rajon Rondo, and JaVale McGee – Q
On Thursday we saw Kyle Kuzma, Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball all play 37 minutes or more. The 3 of them should be considered again tonight with LeBron and Rondo still out. If McGee returns Zubac would return to his bench role.
TOR Kyle Lowry OUT
We’ve dealt with this situation plenty of times this year so we shouldn’t be surprised by what happens tonight. Kawi Leonard is going to get the biggest increase of around 35% usage. Fred VanVleet is going to start and play point guard and give us around 25-30 fantasy. Serge Ibaka and Pascal Siakam will be more involved offensively as well.
MIN Jegg Teague OUT
Derrick Rose has a 32.9% usage (+5.3%) with Jeff Teague off the floor and he scored on average 1.16 fantasy points per minute. Karl Anthony Towns is 2nd on the team with a 28.5% usage and averages 1.40 fantasy points per minute.
NOP Nikola Mirotic OUT
Julius Randle has a 27.9% usage and averages 1.24 fantasy points per minute with Mirotic off the floor. He will continue to start while Mirtoic is out and will likely remain the starter even when Mirotic returns. Anthony Davis has a team-high 31.8% usage and 1.69 fantasy points per minute with Mirotic off the floor.
BKN Allen Crabbe OUT
Rodions Kurcucs will continue to see big minutes with Crabbe out. However, he’s no longer the lock and load value he was about a week ago. His price is rising because of his solid play so proceed with caution here at these prices. He’s still a solid play but it doesn’t make me feel all warm and fuzzy to pay $6,300 on Fanduel and $5,200 on Draftkings.
DAL Wes Matthews OUT – DAL Dennis Smith Jr – Q
With Matthews out Dorian Finney Smith will likely get another start. However, he only averages about 0.65 fantasy points per minute so outside of his initials being “DFS” he doesn’t have much else going for him. JJ Barea is still a solid value option as well.
ATL Alex Len, Taurean Prince and Miles Plumlee OUT
Last game Dewayne Dedmon played 37 minutes and scored 47 DK points. While John Collins played 28 minutes
OKC Paul George – Q
If George is out tonight we’ll want to target Dennis Schroder who gets a 5% usage increase with George off the floor. Interestingly Russell Westbrook gets around 2% less usage with Paul George off the floor. However, he still averages 1.75 fantasy points per minute.
