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

Milwaukee (-3) @ New Jersey   198.5 Total
MIL:  B. Jennings, C. Delfino, T. Harris, E. Ilyasova, D. Gooden
NJN:  J. Farmar, D. Stevenson, M. Brooks, K. Humphries, S. Williams

  • Deron Williams is out.  Jordan Farmar should get another start.
  • Mike Dunleavy could be a nice sleeper in this one.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Sleeper Pick:  Jordan Farmar

New York @ Chicago (-8.5)  198 Total
NYK:  J. Lin, L. Fields, C. Anthony, A. Stoudemire, T. Chandler
CHI:  D. Rose, R. Hamilton, R. Brewer, C. Boozer, J. Noah

  • CJ Watson is out.  More minutes for Derrick Rose.
  • Joakim Noah is probable after recovering from an illness over the weekend.  Omer Asik goes back to the bench.
  • Luol Deng is out with a wrist injury.  Ronnie Brewer should get the start.
  • Rip Hamilton is out with a shoulder injury.  Kyle Korver should pick up the start at SG.
  • Carmelo Anthony should have a much easier time with Luol Deng is out.
  • Jared Jeffries is doubtful.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick:  Derrick Rose, Carmelo Anthony

 

Charlotte @ New Orleans (-6.5)   182.5 Total
CHA:  DJ Augustin, G. Henderson, C. Maggette, T. Thomas, B. Biyombo
NOR:  J. Jack, M. Belinelli, T. Ariza, G. Ayon, C. Kaman

  • Carl Landry is doubtful.
  • Emeka Okafor is still out.
  • Be careful with Chris Kaman.  He’s trade bait and could sit at any time if a trade is in the works, so check his gametime status.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Sleeper Pick:  Chris Kaman

 

Washington @ San Antonio (-14)  205.5 Total
WAS:  J. Wall, J. Crawford, C. Singleton, T. Booker, J. McGee
SAS:  D. Green, G. Neal, R. Jefferson, T. Duncan, D. Blair

  • Tony Parker is probable with a sore quad.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick:  Tim Duncan

 

Detroit @ Utah (-6.5)   192 Total
DET:  B. Knight, R. Stuckey, T. Prince, G. Monroe, J. Maxiell
UTA:  D. Harris, G. Hayward, J. Howard, P. Millsap, A. Jefferson

  • Raja Bell is questionable with some kind of personal issue.  Gordon Hayward should pick up the start at SG with Josh Howard picking up the start at SF.
  • Al Jefferson is questionable with a personal matter.   Derrick Favors could get a start tonight and makes a great daily fantasy play.
  • Look for Greg Monroe to be a better play if Al Jefferson is out.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick:  Greg Monroe
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Sleeper Pick:  Derrick Favors (if Al Jefferson is out)

 

Minnesota @ Phoenix (-3.5)   198 Total
MIN:  L. Ridnour, W. Johnson, M. Webster, K. Love, N. Pekovic
PHO:  S. Nash, J. Dudley, G. Hill, C. Frye, M. Gortat

  • JJ Barea is a gametime decision.  He could hold some late season value with Ricky Rubio out.
  • Ricky Rubio done with an ACL.  That wasn’t great news to return to, my fantasy teams now need a new PG.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick:  Steve Nash

 

Boston @ LA Clippers (-5.5)   186.5 Total
BOS:  R. Rondo, R. Allen, P. Pierce, B. Bass, K. Garnett
LAC:  C. Paul, R. Foye, C. Butler, B. Griffin, D. Jordan

  • Kenyon Martin is out.  Reggie Evans should see a few extra minutes.
  • Caron Butler is really slumping and his back may be bothering him more than he’s letting on.  Avoid him for now.
  • Chris Paul is dealing with a nose injury that could limit him just a little.
  • Daily Fantasy Tournament Value Pick:  Paul Pierce
