Tonight we have a hearty slate of 8 games, and as always more than enough elite plays to choose from. There are also value plays aplenty, and likely more to come if teams decide to rest some starters, or with injury updated throughout the day. Keep tabs on this as always up until tip-off. A rule of thumb I am playing by now since I burned myself too often is determining if I will be readily able to update and make lineup adjustments within a half hour of tip off. If not, I simply don't play or play as much. the risk is simply too high to get stuck with a zero and have a dead lineup as soon as 7 pm.
Tonight the Bucks and Cavs play against each other again after last nights Overtime battle. Cleveland has been resting players more as of late, and if Kevin Love remains injured value could open up in this game tonight for sure. Usage and minutes bumps could also happen if any of the stars remain in lineup and one sits out.
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.

I shouldn't need to write much here at this point. His price is high but his output is simply amazing night in and night out. Triple-Double bonus on a nightly basis is a huge plus, and tonight he happens to face the 27th ranked team in DvP against the point. He will cost you, but his consistent ability to hit 5X and put up 60 points a night is always worth it. He did hit a few bumps in the road with under 40 points, but now he is rested, and coming off of 73.25, and 81.25 DK point performances.
