Outlook Nic Claxton
Nic Claxton vs Hawks — Frontcourt Opportunity in High-Scoring Home Matchup
Claxton is healthy and listed in Chicago's projected starting lineup (unconfirmed) after making his Bulls debut on a minutes restriction. Across two games, he has averaged 11 points and 5 rebounds in 16 minutes, pushing his start rate up to 58%. With starting forward Caleb Wilson sidelined long term, extra frontcourt minutes are available.
Our models project Claxton for 18 fantasy points across 18 minutes tonight against Atlanta. Hosting the Hawks in an up-tempo spot with a lofty over/under lifts his per-minute ceiling, even with the 1-9 Bulls riding an eight-game losing streak. Chicago closes this week's three-game slate on a back-to-back tomorrow in Minnesota.

Outlook Draymond Green
Draymond Green at Spurs - Playmaking Floor Intact with Curry Sidelined
Green enters tonight healthy and is projected to start at center for Golden State, though lineups remain unconfirmed. With Stephen Curry sidelined by an abdominal tear, Green should shoulder heavier playmaking duties alongside Brandin Podziemski. He has averaged 8.0 assists over his last six games, up slightly from his season pace, while providing steady rebounding and defensive peripherals, pushing his ownership near 50% and start rate to 43%.
Our projections tab Green for 23 fantasy points across 28 minutes as a low-scoring distributor tonight. It is a challenging road spot in San Antonio against a 10-2 Spurs club riding a 10-game win streak, with Golden State facing an 11.5-point spread that introduces blowout risk. Tonight's matchup also wraps up a light three-game week for the Warriors.
