Monday’s NBA Schedule, Probable Starting Lineups, Injuries and Daily Cash Game Picks

Orlando @ Philadelphia (-7)   179 Total
ORL:  C. Duhon, J. Richardson, H. Turkoglu, R. Anderson, D. Howard
PHI:  J. Holiday, J. Meeks, A. Iguodala, E. Brand, T. Battie

  • Jameer Nelson is doubtful with a concussion.  Chris Duhon should get another start and makes an attractive minimum salary start.
  • Hedo Turkoglu should handle the ball a little more with Nelson out, which means he could see a tick up in fantasy value.
  • Spencer Hawes is out Monday.  Tony Battie will probably get the start.
  • Elton Brand should have a decent game with Nikola Vucevic and Spencer Hawes both out.
  • Thaddeus Young is trying to play through a back injury, but it’s clearly limiting his fantasy production.  Avoid him for now.
  • Nikola Vucevic is technically a gametime decision, but he’s probably out.
  • Daily Fantasy Cash Game Pick:  Chris Duhon $4000

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups, Week 6

A few waiver wire tips for a slow Sunday:

Drew Gooden (MIL)Andrew Bogut is likely done for the season with a fractured ankle.  Gooden is a must add if you need help at center.  He’s already shown in his first two starts what he’s capable of.

Avery Bradley (BOS) – I’ve been seeing some rumors that Rajon Rondo may be out for a month.  I’ve also see some articles saying he’s going to play today, so who knows.  If he is out for a month, then Bradley, and maybe E’Twaun Moore, become great spot starts.

Kirk Hinrich (ATL)Jeff Teague is running out of steam and he’s also been a little banged up lately. Hinrich should build his minutes back up to the 25-30 minute range soon and makes a nice grab.

Chris Kaman (NOR) – I’ve seen Kaman dropped to a lot of wires, but he’s said to be on the trading block and he could see a huge spike in value with a trade to the right situation.  He’s worth a stash on the bench if you have room.

Glen Davis (ORL)Ryan Anderson is having some injury issues and Davis could pick up a few starts this week.  He probably won’t put up any huge lines, but if you need some rebounds, he’s a solid pickup.

Rodrigue Beaubois (DAL)Jason Kidd is hurting again and the Mavs need someone to step up at PG.  Delonte West got the minutes last time Kidd was out, but he’s also dealing with some injury problems.  Beaubois should get a chance to play this week and has decent upside. Read More..

Charlotte @ Philadelphia (-15.5)  183 Total
CHA:  K. Walker, M. Carroll, D. Brown, T. Thomas, D. Diop
PHI:  J. Holiday, (E. Turner/J. Meeks), A. Iguodala, E. Brand, T. Battie

  • Gerald Henderson was a last minute scratch Wednesday with an injured tailbone and is listed as out for Friday.  Matt Carroll started for him and should play good minutes with Henderson out.
  • DJ Augustin is out for a couple more games.  Derrick Brown will continue to start at SF, with Kemba Walker filling in for Augustin at PG.
  • BJ Mullens fantasy run may be ending.  It looks like opposing teams have figured out his game, much like hitters getting their second look at a new pitcher.  He’s also dealing with a hand injury.
  • Thaddeus Young suffered a lower back contusion Wednesday, so check his gametime status tonight.
  • BJ Mullens has lost his starting job.  DeSagana Diop will now start at center.  There’s a reason Oklahoma City let him go.  Avoid him for now.
  • DJ White is out Friday.
  • Daily Fantasy Game Pick:  Kemba Walker $5600

Wednesday’s NBA Schedule, Probable Starting Lineups, Lines, Injuries and Daily Cash Game Picks

New Jersey @ Philadelphia (11.5)  191.5  Total
NJN:  D. Williams, A. Morrow, D. Stevenson, K. Humphries, M. Okur
PHI:  J. Holiday, J. Meeks/E. Turner, A. Iguodala, E. Brand, T. Battie

  • MarShon Brooks is a gametime decision with an achilles injury.  The Nets started DeShawn Stevenson in place of Brooks in Monday’s game.
  • Spencer Hawes is a gametime decision, but he’s probably out.
  • Nikola Vucevic is a gametime decision.
  • Elton Brand is really picking it up lately with the Sixers big men hurting.  Look for Brand to have another good game against a weak New Jersey interior.
  • Damion James is out for the year, which is good news for MarShon Brooks owners.
  • Daily Fantasy Game Pick:  Elton Brand $6900
