Yesssssssssss! NBA IS BACK! Many people's favorite DFS sport including myself, is here. Technically it started last night, but with only a three game slate it still felt like a pre-season game. Tonight we have 10 glorious games, and for those who are as excited as I am would probably like me to be writing less, and giving you more info!

Before we start I have to point out that the season is still brand new meaning there won't be completely accurate data on players performance for this season. There are also plenty of things to consider such as new faces in new places when selecting your plays for the day. Players like Pau Gasol, Kevin Durant, Derek Rose are all on new teams and shouldn't necessarily be valued at the same rate these first few weeks until we see how they are utilized. Durant is the exception in Golden State where he should be close to equal his previous season's value.

It is harder to find some big ticket players who won't be chalky tonight, but I am fine with the two I listed and think they may be owned less than expected in tonight's tourneys. Ok, enough babbling let's get into it!

GPP Plays are about finding low ownership and high ceilings to help take down a major tournament. We highlight two high-priced, mid-priced, and low-priced plays across the Main Slate. Be sure to check out our new revamped Colossus lineup optimizer.

Be sure to follow me on Twitter @fantsychillpony and always check NBA Daily lineups for any last minute tweaks and changes. Remember there is no more late swap on Draft Kings! Good luck.
