Friday’s NBA Schedule, Probable Starting Lineups, Lines, Injuries and Tournament Picks

Charlotte @ Toronto (-7)   183.5 Total
CHA:  K. Walker, R. Williams, C. Maggette, B. Diaw, B. Biyombo
TOR:  J. Calderon, D. DeRozan, J. Johnson, A. Johnson, A. Gray

  • DJ Augustin is slowly working himself back into game shape after missing time with a foot injury.  He should be back to full speed just after the all-star break.  It will be interesting to see how the Bobcats divide the minutes now between Augustin and Kemba Walker.
  • Jerryd Bayless is probable, but I’d avoid him until the ankle injury heals completely. 
  • Linas Kleiza is out.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick:  Kemba Walker

 

Milwaukee @ Orlando (-7.5)    192 Total
MIL:  B. Jennings, S. Livingston, C. Delfino, E. Ilyasova, J. Leuer
ORL:  J. Nelson, J. Richardson, H. Turkoglu, R. Anderson, D. Howard

  • Drew Gooden is out.  John Leuer will get the start.
  • Dwight Howard should have a huge game with Gooden out.
  • Jameer Nelson is playing well after missing a few games and I’ve seen him floating around on several waiver wires.  He should probably be grabbed if you need assists.
  • Stephen Jackson remains a huge daily risk.  Just when you think he’s back getting a steady 3o minutes a night, he ends up stuck to the bench.  Just hold him and hope for a trade.
  • Ersan Ilyasova is getting a rare start, but he matchup isn’t very good.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick:  Dwight Howard

 

Sacramento @ Detroit (-3.5)   190.5 Total
SAC:  T. Evans, M. Thornton, J. Salmons, J. Thompson, JJ Hickson
DET:  B. Knight, R. Stuckey, T. Prince, G. Monroe, J. Maxiell

  • Rodney Stuckey has really been heating up lately and should be played in daily games since his salary has dipped due to his mediocre early season.
  • Stuckey breaking out isn’t going to help the fantasy value of Brandon Knight.  He’s slumping right now and you have to wonder if it’s the old rookie wall.
  • DeMarcus Cousins is out.   JJ Hickson should pickup the start.  Chuck Hayes will have to put in some extra minutes also.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Picks:  Greg Monroe, Rodney Stuckey

 

Miami (-9.5) @ Cleveland   199 Total
MIA:  N. Cole, D. Wade, L. James, C. Bosh, J. Anthony
CLE:  K. Irving, A. Gee, O. Casspi, A. Jamison, S. Erden

  • Anderson Varejao is out 4-6 weeks with a wrist injury.  Semih Erden will start and Tristan Thompson will also see an increase in minutes.   Neither player is very attractive in daily games right now.
  • Mario Chalmers made it through practice Thursday and is probable.  Norris Cole would get the start if Chalmers can’t go.
  • Kyrie Irving is looking good in his return from a concussion and looks safe to use again in daily games.
  • Anthony Parker is out.  Alonzo Gee should get the start.
  • Daniel Gibson is doubtful.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick:  Kyrie Irving
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Sleeper Pick:  Semih Erden

 

Dallas @ Philadelphia (-3)   179.5 Total
DAL:  J. Kidd, V. Carter, S. Marion, D. Nowitzki, B. Haywood
PHI:  J. Holiday, J. Meeks, A. Iguodala, E. Brand, N. Vucevic

  • Delonte West is out until mid-March with a finger injury.  Jason Terry and Vince  Carter will have to pick up the slack.
  • Jason Terry is out Friday.  
  • Roddy Beaubois is out.
  • Spencer Hawes is out.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick:   Vince Carter
