Dallas point guard Deron Williams and power forward Dirk Nowitzki are expected to be out both Sunday and Monday, leading to a boost in value for a number of players whose salaries will likely stay relatively stable.
J.J. Barea is the obvious player to target first in these games, having just scored 21 points with five triples the other night against Golden State. More importantly Barea is priced at $4.3K. He was going up against a fantasy-friendly Kings team Sunday.
David Lee ($5K) will face a Nuggets squad that has been vulnerable when dealing with opposing power forwards. They currently rank 24th against opposing power forwards.
Lee enjoyed a usage rate of 23.5 along with an assist percentage of 40.0 the other night.
