DRAFTKINGS
Oshae Brissett, PF/C IND ($4,200)
Brissett is likely to play a big role. Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis are out and Goga Bitadze and Doug McDermott are questionable. Even if both play, Brissett could still be in play. He has played seven games for the Pacers and played ten minutes or fewer in five of them. In the last game against the Thunder, Brissett played 42 minutes and had 23 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks, two steals and one assist for 51.5 DK points. In the prior game, he played 25 minutes against the Spurs and had 24 DK points.
Kendrick Nunn , PG MIA ($5,300)
Nunn has been playing well and the Heat will be without Goran Dragic and Tyler Herro . Nunn has at least 30 DK points in three of the last four games and the Bulls struggle to defend point guards. The Heat are coming off a loss in Atlanta last night and are batting to avoid the play-in tournament.
Willie Cauley-Stein , C DAL ($3,100)
Cauley-Stein played 31 minutes in the last game in the same matchup he has tonight against the Lakers. Cauley-Stein had 28.5 DK points. He could see the same amount of minutes, especially if Kristaps Porzingis and Maxi Kleber are out.
FANDUEL
Kelly Olynyk , C HOU ($5,000)
The Rockets injury report is one of the keys to the slate. Christian Wood hurt his ankle last night and said he didn't think he could play today. John Wall is out. Jae'Sean Tate also hurt his ankle last night as did Danuel House . Olynyk has played well since coming to Houston. He had 46 FD points against the Clippers last night. He has at least 35.4 FD points in four of the last six games. Olynyk had 36.2 FD points in 27 minutes against Denver on April 16 and Wood played in that one.
Armoni Brooks, SG HOU ($4,200)
The Rockets will be without John Wall and Brooks is going to handle the ball often. Brooks has played more lately with Kevin Porter Jr. out due to health and safety protocols. Brooks has played at least 25 minutes in four straight games, including at least 30 in the last two. He played 30 minutes last night against the Clippers and didn't do much with the Rockets having Wall in the lineup. Brooks has hit at least 24.9 FD points in two of the last four games and Denver has struggled against points guards lately.
PJ Dozier , SG DEN ($3,900)
Dozier is seeing an increased role with Jamal Murray and Monte Morris out and Will Barton left last night's game with a hamstring injury and is unlikely to play. Dozier has at least 23.9 FD points in four of the last five games. He played 29 minutes against the Warriors last night and had 26.9 FD points and gets a great matchup against the Rockets.
