Here’s a couple examples of players benefiting from injuries tonight:

Austin Daye, Detroit: With both Rodney Stuckey and Ben Gordon out, he gets the start and he’s only $65k on DailyJoust. He had big nights earlier in the season when he got the minutes, and he will do so again tonight.

Iman Shumpert and Baron Davis, New York: Take your pick here because both will see more time with Jeremy Lin out, but I hate to have two mediocre guards from the same team on my roster, so I wouldn’t pick them both. The other night I picked Davis and Shumpert turned out to be the better play. Rather than keep trying to guess, I’m sticking with Davis, in part because he’s at $79k while Shumpert is $115k.

Another bargain tonight is Luke Babbitt at $55. He had a career-high 16 points last night and while he might not duplicate that, the Blazers are clearly looking at their youngsters down the stretch so Babbitt will continue to get minutes.

Here’s some mid-priced guys that I think are solid buys:

Ersan Ilyasova, Milwaukee: He’s been a fantasy beast, but his price is falling as injuries have limited him recently. He’s at $104k vs. Cleveland tonight, so take him.

Kenneth Faried, Denver: He’s been outplaying his $96k price tag, and that should continue against the Bobcats tonight.

As for some studs:

Al Jefferson, Utah: I love Jefferson against the Kings, who don’t have a great defensive presence inside.

Dwight Howard, Orlando: His price has dropped below $200k, and after the heat he has taken for his lackluster performance against the Knicks, I expect him to bounce back big tonight.
