DFS NBA Lineup Lock Updates & Late-News Core Play Section

*Section for players we are considering “core plays” based on late-breaking news & research

• With Jaquez ruled out, Nikola Jovic is very interesting. 
• Evan Mobley is starting – not a lot of interest at his price + 20-25 minute limit. Him being back downgrades a lot of Cleveland tonight.
• T.J. McConnell is getting a LOT of ownership love. Hard to ignore at his DK price + output.
• Caleb Martin, should get a lot of run with short-handed Heat team. Low owned pivot off Nikola Jovic.
• Spencer Dinwiddie is starting for the Lakers. Interesting value.
