💥 Who’s Out? Who’s Questionable? What it means…
MIN Derrick Rose OUT
With Rose off the floor the big KAT KArl Anthony Towns leads the team with a 30.8% (+4.1%) usage and he averages 1.57 fp/min. He’ll have a tough matchup tonight against Steven Adams and the OKC Thunder. He is priced at $11,000/$10,500 on FD/DK. He has gone over 52 fantasy points in 8 straight games. Andrew Wiggins is 2nd on the team with a 28.6% usage which is a +2.9% increase when Rose is off the floor. The obvious move would be to play Jeff Teague when Rose is out. However, his usage is not that high only 21% which is a +1.2% increase. His fp/min is solid at 1.04 fp/min.
CLE Rodney Hood OUT – Matthew Dellavedova and Ante Zizic Questionable
All of the guards on the Cavs will be locked into big minutes. Colin Sexton, Alec Burks and Jordan Clarkson will all be viable in GPP’s tonight. They have a real tough matchup vs the Pacers however so I’m not sure I’m going to go there. The Pacers have a 101 defensive efficiency rating and allow 10% fewer FP to SG than the league average. Proceed with caution here as none of these guys are very safe in this matchup.
GSW Shaun Livingston OUT
Not a huge DFS impact here as Livingston is a role player for this Warriors team off the bench. We could see Iguodala pick up some extra minutes in his absence but again, that doesn’t make me want to run out and roster Andre Iguodala. He’s a value play only to fit in some other studs and whatever he gives you in a plus in my book.
PHO Devin Booker Questionable
He left last game with Back Spasms and did not return. Money burning GIFs were aplenty on Twitter that night. With Booker out we saw Jackson play 32 minutes, followed by Melton 26 minutes and Crawford 23 minutes. With Booker off the floor Josh Jackson leads the team with a 26.7% usage rate and averges 1.08 fp/min. TJ Warren is 2nd on the team with a 26.3% usage rate and averages 1.12 fp/min.
