Squirrel’s Nuts & Bolts NBA - January 15th, 2025

Thursday night brings eight games on the NBA schedule, but only five games on the DFS slate as both FanDuel and DraftKings have dropped the last three games on the schedule. The injury news will again make an impact, with Devin Booker, Paul Reed, Tari Eason, Jaime Jaquez, Cooper Flagg, and Lauri Markkanen likely out, while Lu Dort, Kyle Kuzma, Daniel Gafford, and PJ Washington are listed as Questionable.

This is becoming a standard caveat for this article, but with so many injury situations, it will be absolutely critical to pay attention to the injury news and starting lineups. Even minor injuries can disrupt the slate when a minimum-priced player gets surprisingly elevated into the starting lineup, so with late swap, it’s essential to monitor the starting lineups on a slate this large with so many injury situations.
