NBA GPP Plays 1/11/18
NBA GPP Cheat Sheet Prices listed are Fanduel unless otherwise noted. My NBA articles will mostly focus on Fanduel lineup construction since besides center, you need to play two at each position. The players recommended are usually still good plays on DraftKings unless the pricing is drastically different. Also, many players on DraftKings have dual position eligibility or may be listed at a different position. I will try to mention if there is a specific good play on DK based on price or position eligibility. The players listed are in no particular order, as sometimes I am giving choices to help build your lineups at all price points. Point Guard Delon Wright – $5700 – Price is up, but still good value for starting point guard. Lonzo Ball – $7800 – Probably highest upside at the position, but is streaky. De’Aron Fox – $6300 – Like less with George Hill expected back tonight, but can still play him. Value/Punt Plays – Dejounte Murray $3800, Patty Mills $4000, Fred VanVleet $3600 Shooting Guard DeMar DeRozen – $9600 – With no Kyle Lowry his usage goes way up. Expect a big game versus the Cavs. Lou Williams – $8900 – If Blake is in, like much less at this price. Bogdan Bogdanovic – $5500 – I hate choosing which shooting guard to play for the Kings. He has had 30+ minutes the last three games. Value/Punt Plays – Buddy Hield $4500, Manu Ginobili $4400, Tyrone Wallace $3600 Small Forward LeBron James – $11500 – Get him in your lineups on this short slate. Brandon Ingram – $6600 – Kyle Anderson – $5600 – Like the play with no Leonard tonight. Also $1000 discount from Ingram. Value/Punt Plays – CJ Miles $3800 Power Forward LaMarcus Aldridge – $9900 – Good floor and usage bump with no Leonard. Blake Griffin – $8800 – If he is good to go, I like him tonight. Zach Randolph – $4900 – Price has dipped below $5000. Still like the upside. Value/Punt Plays – Randolph $4900, Davis Bertrans $4500, Jeff Green $4400, Pascal Siakam $3500 Center Kevin Love – $6700 – Price is down due to his recent poor play. Gotta love the ceiling at that price. Jonas Valanciunas – $6200 – Price is too high in my opinion, but he has been playing well. Pau Gasol – $5500 – Risky, but good price. Julius Randle – $6700 – In play, the position is deep tonight relatively. DeAndre Jordan – $8800 – Prefer if Griffin doesn’t play. Value/Punt Plays – Brook Lopez $4400

Also, many players on DraftKings have dual position eligibility or may be listed at a different position. I will try to mention if there is a specific good play on DK based on price or position eligibility. The players listed are in no particular order, as sometimes I am giving choices to help build your lineups at all price points. Point Guard Russell Westbrook – $11800 – Get him in your lineups on this small slate. Goran Dragic – $6500 – Should have good matchup versus the Raptors backups with no Kyle Lowry Shabazz Napier – $4800 – With no Lillard tonight, he will be chalk. It’s good chalk however, probably just pairing him with Westbrook will be popular. Dennis Smith Jr. – $6100 – Been playing well, can use for different roster construction. Value/Punt Plays – Napier $4800, Delon Wright $4800, Fred VanVleet $3600 Shooting Guard CJ McCollum – $7500 – Should have the usage bump with no Lillard. Favorite play at the position. DeMar Derozen – $9300 – The only issue I have is his price. His usage should be through the roof with no Lowry. I may try to squeeze him and McCollum in. Wesley Mathews – $5500 – Position is weak tonight, he’s good price. Value/Punt Plays – Bogdan Bogdanovic $4600, Wayne Ellington $4400, Buddy Hield $4700 Small Forward Harrison Barnes – $6800 – Favorite play at the position. Josh Richardson – $5600 – Find him in a lot of my lineups just due to price. Brandon Ingram – $7000 – Not my favorite, but position is weak as well. Value/Punt Plays – Maurice Harkless $3500, Evan Turner $4000 Power Forward Serge Ibaka – $5900 – Good safe option I think and should get slight usage bump. Aaron Gordon – $8300 – Highest celling at the position. James Johnson – $5700 – Not safe, but good ceiling. Kelly Olynyk is risky but in play as well. Don’t mind Kyle Kuzma $5700 or Zach Randolph $5500 Value/Punt Plays – Larry Nance Jr. $4400, Dwight Powell $4400 not loving the value at the position under $5000. Center Bismack Biyombo – $5600 – Finding him in most of my lineups. Good matchup versus Dallas and the price is right. Hassan Whiteside – $7600 – Highest ceiling at the position if he gets the minutes. Jonas Valanciunas – $5500 – His price is going up along with his play. All centers in the $7100 – $7500 range are viable options. Value/Punt Plays – None

I will try to mention if there is a specific good play on DK based on price or position eligibility. The players listed are in no particular order, as sometimes I am giving choices to help build your lineups at all price points. Point Guard Jordan Clarkson – $7400 – Riskier play, but has the ceiling we look for in GPPs. Eric Bledsoe – $6900 – Should bounce back from poor performance last game. Elfrid Payton – $8000 – Not loving the price, but am loving his recent play. Has triple double ceiling. Point guard is pretty deep. Could see playing Lowry, Dinwiddie, Dunn, Jones. Lots of places you can go tonight. Napier if Lillard is out. Value/Punt Plays – Tyler Ennis $3500 – Don’t expect 44 fantasy points again. I think I am fading him. Shooting Guard Khris Middleton – $7100 – You know I like playing him especially if not getting The Freak in my lineup. DeMar DeRozen – $8100 – Not sure I am paying up this high, but has the ceiling. Caris LeVert – $5800 – Like the matchup versus Orlando and has been playing well. Three straight games over 35 FD points. Evan Fournier – $6100 – Always like the upside in GPPs. Still good price. C.J. McCollum – $7300 – Like more if no Lillard again. Value/Punt Plays – Josh Hart $4400 – Like him decent amount tonight if you want to pay down for a shooting guard spot. Small Forward Brandon Ingram – $6800 – Favorite overall play at the position. The Freak – $10900 – Scares me to fade him on this slate. Debating what percentage of lineups to put him in. Jimmy Butler – $9300 – Logical pivot if not playing The Freak. DeMarre Carroll – $5200 – Price is right, find him in some lineups just due to this. Jonathan Simmons – $6100 – Like all the Orlando players tonight basically. Value/Punt Plays – Not my favorite spot to punt tonight, maybe CJ Miles at $3500 Power Forward Aaron Gordon – $7900 – Saw what he can do last game. Love the ceiling for the price. Serge Ibaka – $5700 – Good price and rested from being suspended last game. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson – $7400 – Playing well, would like to see 40 though to pay off his ceiling. Kuzma, Gibson and Mirotic are all in play as well. Maybe Aminu or Henson for cheaper. Value/Punt Plays – Also not my favorite value spot. Larry Nance Jr. $4400 Center Julius Randle – $6200 – He didn’t disappoint last night helping myself and the guys in chat cash with 55 Fanduel point. I wouldn’t expect 55 again like last night, but 30-40 will get you 5-6X. Jusif Nurkic – $6300 – Been playing well the past few games. Has a decent matchup versus Robin Lopez and the Bulls. Prefer him with no Lillard as his usage has been up. Karl Anthony Towns – $9500 – Highest ceiling of all the centers on the slate. I like Biyombo on DK more than I do Fanduel. Value/Punt Plays – Robin Lopez $4600 – Only guy I would go to under $5000. Hit me in Slack chat with questions

I will try to mention if there is a specific good play on DK based on price or position eligibility. The players listed are in no particular order, as sometimes I am giving choices to help build your lineups at all price points. Point Guard Damian Lillard – $8800 – The only point guard I would pay up for tonight. I am paying down at the position on Fanduel. Terry Rozier – $3800 – With Jaylen Brown out, his usage goes up. Tyus Jones – $3600 – We have seen what he can do when given the start and the opportunity. Will be super highly owned. But he’s good chalk. Kyrie Irving – $8600 – Pivot off of Lillard, or if you wanted to be contrarian and pay up for both point guards. Value/Punt Plays – Tony Parker $4100, TJ McConnell $4600 Shooting Guard Kris Middleton – $7500 – Favorite play if not paying up for The Freak. Marcus Smart – $5600 – Disappointed last night, think he bounces back against the bad DVPs of the Rockets versus the position. James Harden – $12500 – Just may need him to win tonight. Usage up with no Paul or Cappela. Eric Gordon – $5800 – Same thing about usage as Harden. Andrew Wiggins – $5400 – Think he gets 5-6X tonight. Punt Plays – Jamal Crawford $3700 Small Forward The Freak – $11900 – Currently leaning Harden over him if I must choose. Putting both in your lineups is not a bad idea. Jimmy Butler – $8900 – Still liking the upside at his price. Been playing well. Trevor Ariza – $5500 – Usage should also go up some. Don’t love the ceiling though. Jonathan Simmons – $5800 – Let us down recently. Look for a bounce back game even with Evan Fournier back. Value/Punt Plays – Reggie Bullock $4400, Stanley Johnson $4000, PJ Tucker $4000 Power Forward Jayson Tatum – $5700 – Played well last game with no Brown. Taj Gibson – $5500 – Good value play and good play overall. Tobias Harris – $7400 – The thing that bothers me is that his price jumped. Ben Simmons – $9000 – Not sure I am paying up at the position tonight, though he is a decent play with upside. Dario Saric – $6200 – Like the risk/reward at the price. Value/Punt Plays – Ryan Anderson $4200, Ed Davis $3900 Center Andre Drummond – $9500 – Like the price break off of the other two high priced centers tonight with similar ceiling. Al Horford – $7100 – Good matchup versus the Rockets and Nene starting. Bismack Biyombo – $5500 – Still decent price for a starting center, even against Drummond. Karl-Anthony Towns – $10000 – Has been playing better lately and still good ceiling. Value/Punt Plays – Nene $3500 Hit me in Slack chat with questions before lock.
