Rajon Rondo, Guard, Sacramento Kings
Rondo is listed as a game-time decision against the Denver Nuggets due to a lingering turf toe issue. Though, he's more than probable to play Tuesday night. Taking on a Nuggets team that ranks in the bottom five against fantasy guards, Rondo is a must play in DFS contests. He should eat rookie Emmanuel Mudiay alive on the offensive end of the court.
Jameer Nelson, Guard, Denver Nuggets
Nelson has missed 13 of the past 15 games with a wrist injury. He did not play over the weekend, and surgery remains as possibility. As it is, Nelson will likely sit out Tuesday against Sacramento. New acquisition D.J. Augustin played 30 minutes in Nelson's stead Sunday against the Boston Celtics, putting up 13 points, three rebounds and four assists in the process. He will likely log big minutes with Mudiay in the backcourt on Tuesday.
Eric Gordon, Guard, New Orleans Pelicans
After undergoing surgery on his right ring finger back in January, Gordon seems to be recovering at a quicker than anticipated clip. Though, he's definitely out until at least the end of the month. Without Gordon in the mix, Jrue Holiday has been asked to pick up the scoring load recently from the point guard position. Holiday is averaging 23 points 5.2 rebounds and 9.0 assists over the past five games. He's definitely someone to consider starting against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday.
Alec Burks, Guard, Utah Jazz
With Burks still sidelined after undergoing ankle surgery back in December, Rodney Hood has picked it up at the two-guard position for Utah recently. Burks is averaging 20.0 points over the past seven games, putting up a total of 20-plus FANTASY points each game. In addition to this, expect new acquisition Shelvin Mack to continue seeing playing time in the backcourt. Mack put up 29.6 fantasy points in his Jazz debut over the weekend.
DeMarcus Cousins, Center, Sacramento Kings
Much like Rondo, Cousins seems to be a go Tuesday night against Denver. Cousins was said to be battling a sore tailbone over the weekend, but there's no reason to believe he will sit out Tuesday. As the most-expensive player in FanDuel contests, you shouldn't have an issue rostering him.
