Andre Drummond (knee) has been cleared to play in Thursday's contest against the Heat as expected. Drummond sat out Tuesday due to a sore left knee, which allowed
LaMarcus Aldridge to slide into the starting five. Even with Drummond (and
Kevin Durant) back in the mix, Aldridge still holds a solid fantasy floor, having scored in double figures in six of his last seven outings. Drummond has returned to being a perpetual double-double threat since joining the Nets, having averaged 9.8 points and 10.2 boards across his first six outings. The Heat have allowed the fewest DFS points per outing to opposing centers this season, but Drummond's rebounding skill has been essentially matchup proof.

Andre Drummond (knee) is listed as probable ahead of Thursday night's game against the Miami Heat. Drummond sat out the team's last game against the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday due to left knee soreness.
LaMarcus Aldridge stepped into the starting lineup on Tuesday and had a strong game with 16 points and nine boards. Expect for Drummond to be back in the starting five on Thursday, assuming he indeed is able to suit up. Over six games with the Nets, Drummond has averaged 9.8 points and 10.2 rebounds per game while shooting 54.5% from the field. At this point, Aldridge isn't worth starting in any fantasy formats while Drummond is active.

Andre Drummond (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Raptors due to a sore left knee. Drummond was limited to just 16 minutes during Monday's defeat to Toronto, with his absence paving the way for
LaMarcus Aldridge,
Nicolas Claxton, and
Day'Ron Sharpe to all have larger frontcourt roles. Despite averaging just 21.7 minutes per outing since joining the Nets, Drummond has been a perpetual double-double threat. When healthy, he has likely earned himself short-term stream value in the vast majority of season-long formats. His next chance to suit up comes Thursday vs. Miami.

Andre Drummond (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He only played 16 minutes on Monday, so it's uncertain if that was because knee soreness or the fact it was a blowout. Regardless,
LaMarcus Aldridge,
Nicolas Claxton, and
Day'Ron Sharpe all stand to gain value, assuming Drummond sits out Tuesday. Aldridge has the most upside out of the three, but remains a low-end streaming option even as a starter.
