NBA GPP Green Light: 11-4-15

Monster slate tonight, with both DraftKings and FanDuel running huge contests. I will be looking to bring some awesome GPP swerves tonight. Be sure to check out our minutes tool, and Colossus lineup optimizer.

Projections show DraftKings fantasy points.

Vegas Notes

- There are a lot of big totals tonight, with Clippers-Warriors (219), Thunder-Raptors (212), Kings-Suns (209), and Magic-Rockets (205) being the big options.

- Celtics-Pacers looks to be the great pivot game, with a total of 204. Both teams have featured playing, but are not always consistent, making them boom-or-bust plays tonight.

- Trail Blazers-Jazz have the lowest total tonight, which is no shocker, given Utah's pace of play.

GPP Picks

Salary: FD: $7,200 DK: $6,300

Isaiah Thomas is the ultimate tournament play, mainly due to him seeing only 25-30 minutes a game off the bench. His usage rate is huge, sitting at 34%, and this game has a big total. He is a volume shooter, and right now his floor is right for his price, especially on DraftKings, but the ceiling is on another level. Indiana is in the bottom half of the league in defensive efficiency, and he will have favorable matchups when coming off of the bench. I am looking his way tonight to be a tournament difference maker, especially on DraftKings.

Salary: FD: (PG) $7,000 DK: (SG) $6,700

This is a package deal for me here, with Brandon Knight, and Eric Bledsoe. I like them both as tournament options, and if you haven't noticed, DK has swapped them. Brandon Knight is listed as a SG, which he is, but everything remains the same on FanDuel. Knight has been very consistent this season, and his usage rate is among the top three players on the Suns, well they are the only sources of offense it seems. Sacramento ranks in the bottom five in points allowed to opposing shooting guards, and I will be looking towards Knight for a low owned play.
