NBA GPP Green Light: 11-16-16

The five game slate had me torn with so many lineups I played 8 different ones wanting a piece of as many of the values, and elite plays as I could. Where guys like Lebron James, Kyle Lowry, Kyrie Irving and Jimmy Butler came through in big ways many of my surrounding picks struggled such as Nikola Mirotic, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Sean Kilpatrick put up nowhere near value sinking these lineups.

Either way there are nights when you can build one or two lineups and love it and roll with it. There are other nights where you don't trust any of your lineups and try to overcompensate. For average and low bankroll gamers like myself going with your gut. Not feeling confident with your lineup(s) should mean you play less contests.

Today we are looking at a 11 game slate and we have some fantastic matchups tonight. iT IS bright and early once again so Vegas odds aren't all complete at this point but we can work with what we have.

Today especially the Point Guard and power Forward positions look to be the most top heavy, so finding value at the Shooting Guard and Small Forward positions may be in our best interest.

Injuries need to be monitored as well. Tonight a big one will be at the center position with Andre Drummond and seeing if he will play or not.

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.

Westbrook vs Harden? Are you kidding me? This was a literal coin flip but I sided with Westbrook tonight since Harden may be a smidgeon worse on defense. The Rockets are allowing 50.9 points to the point Guard Position and Westbrook is the entire OKC offense with a whopping 42.14 usage rate.
