Tonight we are looking at a healthy 10 game slate with some tasty matchups and potential game stacks to consider. The Wizards vs Thunder, Bulls vs Lakers and Wolves vs Knicks are appealing games to me that should stay close and be higher scoring affairs.
The elite options are here as well and without the Rockets, Warriors, and Cavaliers playing there is more incentive to play them tonight. Values will most definitely be needed to get Russell Westbrook and possibly Demarcus Cousins in your lineups. If you are very bold, especially on DK, playing both is an option but will be challenging and risky. It is a little easier to manage this tonight over on FD.
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.
High-Priced Picks
Russell Westbrook (PG), OKC Thunder | |||||||
Opponent | Minutes | Fantasy Points Per Minute | DvP | Usage Rate | Opposing Fantasy Points Allowed | Vegas Team Total | Projection (FD/DK) |
WAS | 36 | 1.61 | 20 | 39.45 | 51.4 | 109.25 | 50.4/58 |
Salary: FD: $12,400 / DK: $12,600
This guy is averaging a triple-double a game folks. Fading a player who has scored less than 61.75 DK points once over his last 10 games and is averaging 64.7 a game this season is tough to do. In GPP it may work to go contrarian and save money, but Westy has been as reliable and safe as they come. You will pay the price, but he has yet to disappoint. This matchup against John Wall and the Wizards should be fantastic.
