NBA DFS Picks, Projections, Lineups, Injuries & More Today: Tuesday Playbook

If LBJ is out, prioritize Luka – and vice versa. Luka can still give you a low-owned ceiling game if both guys are active, but he's prob best for large-field GPPs in that sense.

Another absolutely absurd implied team total of 127.5 currently. If Siakam is out, he could have an even larger role.

Always a no-brainer, high floor/ceiling play without Mitchell. Now, he's in a pace-up spot with a massive implied TT. Blowout concerns, but he could play a big part in making that happen. Cavs playing for top overall seed.

If Alvarado plays, he is very fairly priced – especially on FanDuel. As things currently stand without a lot of chaos and value opening up later, he's one of the better per-dollar plays at PG on FD (and intriguing on both sites).

Jerome is a much better play on DK per price. We've seen incredible upside out of him, and he'll get a pace-up spot with a high TT without Mitchell. I'm guessing in a blowout, Garland would certainly be yanked before Jerome.

McConnell hasn't been playing major minutes, but Ben Sheppard and Siakam are Q, which would both help him earn a few more ticks. He's been a very good PPM producer this year, and we've seen fantastic usage rates out of him – 24% or higher in 7 of his last 8 games. All of that combined with a massive TT makes him a nice GPP target.

If Boston pulls the rug, get ready to play some Pritchard.

No Gil, Middleton, Kispert, Brogdon, Coulibaly, and more! WAS continues to get a look at a possible piece of its future in Carrington in what should be a decent game environment.

Strus isn't my favorite player to click on, but he'll be without Mitchell with a very high TT. At $4K flat and the current variables tonight, he's likely to grade out as one of the better value options.

Terry averages just around .75 FPM ( which isn't fantastic), but the Bulls will be without White and Huerter while Giddey & Vuce also have Q tags. If Giddey misses, Terry could see 26-28 minutes in a perfect world for him. A punt-play.

BK is in tank mode, as they'll be without plenty of regulars. Great matchup. Whitehead has posted respectable usage rates in the 20s and played 26 and 27 minutes, respectively, in his last two games.

If Luka sits, LeBron would have arguably the highest ceiling on the slate, despite a brutal matchup.

No KD, and D-Book averages a 3.1% usage bump when Durant is off the floor this season.

Wagner offers such a high floor every slate. He'll have a crack at a ceiling game in a fantastic pace-up game environment vs. ATL, who play little defense.

Beal has been pretty darn good for fantasy purposes this season when he's been active. $6.7K is a very fair price. He's averaged a monster 6.7% usage bump across 565 minutes without KD on the floor this season. I'd say he's currently one of the best per-dollar plays on FD.

I like the $4.3 tag a lot more. Hunter is very scoring-dependent, but he'll be without Mitchell in a great pace-up spot with a massive TT. Very similar situation to Strus, but I think Max is live for more minutes.

It's Giannis and no Dame! Do we need to say more? He's always live for 65 points or more, but at his price, you kind of need it. I'd rather drop down a few thousand and click on…..

Tatum would be squarely in play if Jaylen Brown/Kristaps Porzingis missed tonight's game. Brown would be bigger news for JT.

Paolo! I'd much rather click on Paolo. It's an elite matchup for the Magic, who are clinging to that #7 seed in the East. You know you're also getting monster usage rates every time he takes the court. This is a meaningful game between two teams jockeying for position.

Mobley always seems to go slightly overlooked when Mitchell is out. He's fairly priced, and I'm not crazy about PF tonight, making him a very attractive target.

Nesmith is another player who would benefit from Shepard and/or Siakam missing tonight's game. He could push for 30 minutes if the game is fairly close. Love the PF eligibility on FD.

Gobert is one of my favorite plays. He's playing mega minutes and has been playing elite basketball.

I like that $7.2 tag for Williams. He's seen 30+ minutes in each of his last two games. A blowout is a large concern, but if for some reason this thing says fairly close, Williams has a 50-point ceilnig.

Sarr continues to impress in the second half, averaging a tick over 41 DKP per 36 minutes since March 1st.

A story as old as time: New Orleans will be missing plenty of people again today. Missi has been seeing consistent minutes and has scored at least 33 fantasy points in his last three games. Very fair price and great matchup.

The former Gonzaga star has finally got a shot to play in the league, and he hasn't disappointed. While he may be inconsistent right now, he has a nice ceiling at $4,700.
