"We felt like we need more shooting [at power forward]," said Atkinson, adding, "with DeMarre in there at the four, we can really spread them out. [the defense] can't really help." Carroll is averaging 14.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 27.7 minutes per game in his first season in Brooklyn.

numberFire's models project Carroll for 12.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists -- good for 25.9 FanDuel points -- in 29.0 minutes against the Orlando Magic on Tuesday.

Donovan Mitchell got the start on Saturday for Hood and he played well in 28 minutes of action. Alec Burks also saw 20 minutes with Hood out, so if that happens again on Tuesday, look for those two to fill the void left at shooting guard.

If he is able to play, our early models project Hood for 15.9 FanDuel points over 22.8 minutes per game on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope returned from a two-game suspension on Sunday, sending Brewer back to the bench. Brewer is unlikely to play heavy minutes as a reserve unless an injury opens up playing time. The Lakers play the Washington Wizards at home on Wednesday.

Looking forward to Wednesday, numberFire projects Brewer to score just 9.8 fantasy points on FanDuel.

Randle has come off the bench for each of his three games this season, and Walton has said that Randle's bench role is "not about whoever being better or playing better, it's about what units play well," indicating that Randle's success with the second unit isn't likely to lead to a move into the starting lineup in the near future.

Randle is averaging only 9.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 18.3 minutes per game this season, but numberFire's models project him for 30.2 FanDuel points on 13.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 28.1 minutes against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.

Simmons became the first player since Oscar Robertson to produce at least 10 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in each of his first three career games. The rookie forward's hot start has caused his MVP odds to change from 80/1 to 33/1, putting him ahead of Damian Lillard, Blake Griffin and tying him with DeMarcus Cousins.

Our models project Simmons for 28.8 FanDuel points on Monday night. We have him pegged for 14.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 34.41 minutes of action. The Australian-born rookie will cost $8,000 for Monday's slate.

The Lakers trailed by as much as 20 points in the game, but Kuzma helped the purple and gold make a fierce rally to take the lead late in the third quarter. "We were playing for each other,” Kuzma said about the third quarter run. “We were getting scores, then we were getting stops. Score, stop. That’s how you cut leads and ultimately that’s how you win games, too.”

Kuzma is averaging 24.4 FanDuel points per game in 2017-18.
