Daily Fantasy Week 15: Who’s Stepping Up?
Some key players are out because of injuries, and consequently, some players will gain playing time. It is time to adjust those line-ups.
Match 1: The Milwaukee Bucks vs the Philadelphia 76ers (January 28)
Giannis Antetokounmpo is out with no timetable for a return. Joel Embiid is out too. Tyrese Maxey is still probably going to dominate, and Ryan Rollins will continue to take the scoring load for the Bucks.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Tyrese Maxey
Vice Captain: Ryan Rollins
Key picks: VJ Edgecombe, Bobby Portis, Myles Turner, Kyle Kuzma, Quentin Grimes
Match 2: The New Orleans Pelicans vs the Oklahoma City Thunder (January 28)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is healthy and well, but seven Thunder players are either out or -day-to-day, which includes heavy-hitter Jalen Williams. Despite this, the Thunder are still expected to win this game, as the Pelicans are currently the worst team in the western conference (yes, even if they won their last 2 outings).
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Vice Captain: Chet Holmgren
Key picks: Isaiah Joe, Trey Murphy III, Zion Williamson, Saddiq Bey, Jordan Poole
Match 3: The Minnesota Timberwolves vs the Dallas Mavericks (January 29)
Anthony Edwards is out. Nine Dallas Mavericks players are either out, or day-to-day.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Julius Randle
Vice Captain: Jaden McDaniels
Key picks: Naji Marshall, PJ Washington, D’Angelo Russell, Rudy Gobert, Donte Divincenzo
Match 4: The Golden State Warriors vs the Utah Jazz (January 29)
Jimmy Butler is out for the season. Six other Warrior players are out as well, including Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Jonathan Kuminga. The Utah Jazz are also missing 7 players too, including Lauri Markkanen, Keyonte George, Kevin Love, and Jusuf Nurkic. Lauri might suit up though, and he automatically sits on the captain slot.
Suggested Daily Fantasy lineup:
Captain: Lauri Markkanen (if he is available)
Vice Captain: Brandin Podziemski
Key picks:Brice Sensabaugh, Ace Bailey, Quinten Post, Kyle Filipowski
