Squirrel’s Nuts & Bolts NBA - January 29th, 2026

Thursday night sees eight games on the NBA schedule, with all eight games on the main DFS slate on both FanDuel and DraftKings. The injury news continues to make an impact, with Alex Sarr, Cole Anthony, Quentin Grimes, Malik Monk, Jalen Johnson, Alperen Sengun, Josh Giddey, Brandon Williams, Collin Gillespie, Cason Wallace, and Rudy Gobert all questionable to play.

This is a standard caveat for this article, but with so many injury situations, it will be 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.
