Last night there were six players whose salaries were $10,000 or higher, and we saw 11 players eclipse the 50 FP mark. Tonight we have a small slate of just three games and only one player over the $10K mark, James Harden at $13,300. He’ll be highly-owned tonight and you might have to choose between running Harden and a super-value play or distributing that money equally between two of the higher-priced players on the board tonight like Damian Lillard and Kemba Walker.

There are a few key injuries to keep your eye on that will affect how you build your lineups tonight. Deron Williams missed last night’s game against the Nuggets, but he could return tonight. That would at least slow down the Yogi Ferrell train, if not derail it. Cody Zeller will likely remain sidelined with a quad injury so Frank Kaminsky should get the start again for Charlotte. Damian Lillard tweaked his ankle, and although he carries a probable tag heading into tonight’s game, he is likely to play based on multiple reports.
