The point predictions for players are fine - as long as you look at it as the point pace they would play to if they were healthy.
It is impossible to predict that this player or that player will get injured. However, it is pretty easy to predict that if you are looking at 10 or 12 players, that 2 or 3 are probably going to miss a material number of games.
So looking at the list, the predictions are fine for the guys who remain healthy, and we can assume that 2 or 3 of those guys miss due to injuries. Looking at it in that manner makes the numbers look sensible and the team predictions aren't out of whack.
