SpaceX is planning to launch the AMOS-17 communications satellite, this will be a free launch to make up for that unfortunate RUD on the pad with AMOS-6. The booster is not going to be recovered and looks quite naked without legs or fins. The weather is only 40% go at this time, but they have a flexible launch window, and it opens in about 3 hours.

If they miss this window it'll be a few days since ULA has the AEHF-5 payload scheduled for tomorrow
