In advance of a tough cross conference battle against the Milwaukee Bucks, Oklahoma City ruled out All Star forward Paul George before Friday's contest. George first appeared on the injury report today with soreness in his left knee and the Thunder chose to play it safe with him and hold him out tonight.

Alex Abrines will likely draw the start in George's absence. In four starts this season, Abrines averaged 31.5 minutes, 12.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. He could be a nice bargain DFS play for FanDuel and DraftKings' NBA slate this evening.
