It's looking like the Bucks are getting some reinforcements in their big matchup against the Knicks tonight as Jrue Holiday is set to return from an ankle injury. Milwaukee is still missing Khris Middleton (Health and Safety) and Brook Lopez (back) however.

Otherwise, there doesn't look to be a ton of major news on the injury front, unlike last night where "injury report makers" had Rudy G as out for the Jazz - only they meant Gay and not Gobert as listed. D'Angelo Russell is out for the Timberwolves for their rematch against the Clippers though.

Brandon Ingram, LaMelo Ball, and Malcolm Brogdon are all big name GTDs for tonight but there's a better chance than not that they play (do keep an eye on Ingram though).

Tonight's Key NBA Matchups

Nets (-10) @ Pistons, O/U 211 7:00 PM ET

Do Brooklyn starters lose their value tonight just because Detroit is so historically bad offensively and this one could turn into a blowout? It wouldn't be a leap to see the Nets preserve some minutes in the opener of a six game road swing.

Grizzlies @ Wizards (-2), O/U 221 7:00 PM ET

Nice target game here as Washington leads the NBA in pace and Memphis runs the 8th fastest tempo. Ja Morant ($9.4k) vs. Bradley Beal ($9.5k) is a tough one to call.

Knicks @ Bucks (-4), O/U 217 7:30 PM ET

At the very least this game should be close, meaning the big dogs will be on the floor. In Milwaukee's case, Giannis Antetokounmpo has to be on the floor because Khris Middleton (COVID) and Brook Lopez (back) remain out. The Bucks have been off since Tuesday, which looks like a long enough rest to get Jrue Holiday (ankle) back for at least a few minutes.

Clippers (-2.5) @ Timberwolves , O/U 216.5 8:00 PM ET

This is a rematch of Wednesday's game that the Clippers dominated 126-115 behind a 54fp night from Paul George. LAC shot 60% from the field and 58% from beyond the arc in that game and Minnesota was still within 5 points late in the 4th quarter. This could be a good bounce back game for the Wolves, who got 47fp from Anthony Edwards in game one.

Pelicans @ Warriors (-9.5) O/U 214 10:00 PM ET

The Warriors are playing angry right now with 21-point win over the Thunder and beating Charlotte by 22 over their last two games. That's great to help you rise up the NBA power rankings, but blowouts make things tough for DFS as Steph Curry has a season low 39 and 42 fp over those wins.

Hornets @ Kings (-2) O/U 231 10:00 PM ET

On paper, this looks like it will be a fun one and the 231 point betting total would seem to confirm that. Charlotte is the #1 scoring team in the NBA but will want to bounce back from a season low 92 points last time out in a blowout loss at Golden State.
