I'll highlight my top plays for GPP action to help you set yourself apart! Tonight's big slate is a nice change from last night's 3-game slate, so let's get to it! Be sure to check out our minutes tool, and Colossus lineup optimizer.
Projections show DraftKings fantasy points.
Vegas Notes
- Knicks-Rockets and Pistons-Wizards are the two high total games, with Houston being the highest projected scoring team.
- 76ers and Grizzlies are the lowest projected scoring teams, and Marc Gasol would be the only option between these two games.
- Heat are 13.5 favorites, likely blowing out the 76ers. We have seen Philly be horrendous the last two games, allowing opposing starters to take a seat in the fourth.

After talking about the blowout, you can see why Hassan Whiteside would be a GPP only play. He also is not a lock for minutes even when the game is close, making him a frustrating play at times. His fantasy points per minute is insane, making up for a lack of minutes at times. His usage rate is slightly on the rise, after being in the teens for most of the season. The matchup is great, and Whiteside's upside is unmatched with his ability to block shots.
