Wowee zowee do we have a full slate today folks! 11 games of NBA goodness excites me in ways I won't describe. Injuries are popping up left and right now so as always value plays, matchup advantages and pivots are always part of the process. Now that the major sites no longer allow late swap we need to be vigilant about injuries and player minute increases or decreases.
This post is being written early this am, so be extra aware that starting lineups change, chalk changes at any moment and there is always late news that could impact an entire slate.
Tonight's slate has plenty of high scoring affairs with the New York Knicks vs Brooklyn projected at 214.5 in Vegas and the Wizards vs Celtics game projected at 215. The game I am targeting more tonight for values however is the Hawks vs Bulls. Plenty of talent at the right price and in a game projected for 204 points.
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.

We've all seen how Harden runs the offense in Houston, and San Antonio plays tough defense
He is safe as they come playing 37 minutes a game or more, and with a whopping 32.5 usage rate he IS the offense.
