Draymond Green (Small Forward Golden State Warriors): Green was benched against the Nuggets as the team wanted him to be rested for Thursday's game with the Los Angeles Lakers. A dinged up Steph Curry played a ton of minutes along with his partner in crime Klay Thompson. So what does that mean for Green? More Minutes and more opportunities to produce plus he gets an easy matchup against the Lakers.
Ish Smith (Point Guard Philadelphia 76ers): After being traded again, this time back to Philadelphia Smith is looking to return to form. He had easily some of his best games on the Sixers and with Tony Wroten gone Smith should have plenty of opportunities to make plays. The last time he played with the Sixers he averaged 12 points and 6 assists per game.
Taj Gibson (Power Forward, Chicago Bulls): With the Bulls suffering through a few injuries Gibson should see an uptick in playing time. The Sixers allow the third most daily fantasy points to power forwards and Gibson should see some extended minutes as the Bulls look to fill a hole in their rotation.
Aaron Brooks (Point Guard Chicago Bulls): This may just be a short term answer at your point guard spot but it is a pretty good one. Derrick Rose injured his left knee against the Bucks, now even though he will not have an MRI there is a pretty good chance he sits until Rose's knee feels right. Brooks's production so far has been around .431 field goal%, .839 free throw%, 2.8 3 pointers made, 4.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 19.1 points. With a really easy matchup against the 76ers on the horizon Brooks could see some solid production while Rose is out.
