Big slate tonight, and plenty of monster tournaments this Wednesday around the industry. I'll highlight my top plays for GPP action to help you set yourself apart! Be sure to check out our minutes tool, and Colossus lineup optimizer.

Vegas Notes
- There are some blowout concerns tonight, but I can't see them influencing my decisions too much. Rockets -12, Hawks -10.5, Raptors -9.5.
- Atlanta comes in as the highest projected scoring team of the night, and the Clippers are a close second.
- Celtics-Pacers have a 202 total, and this game should be another high scoring affair between the two.
- 76ers and Grizzlies are the two lowest projected scoring teams tonight, and are really two teams to avoid in all formats.

If I am going to attack the San Antonio Spurs, it is going to be with opposing point guards. The Spurs rank 25th in fantasy points allowed to opposing point guards, and Damian Lillard could be in for a night. His usage rate, and minutes are through the roof, but his price tag is also doing the same thing. Lillard has had plenty of success against San Antonio in his career, averaging 26-5-6, in 11 games. These games all included LaMarcus Aldridge, who will be returning to Portland for the first time tonight. If you want to look at the narrative here, I think Lillard has a little spark in his game, due to Aldridge leaving town. Lillard has a high floor, but I am looking for that extra tonight.
