Big Wednesday slate tonight, and we have big time names on the board. Russell Westbrook, Anthony (Injury Prone) Davis, Demarcus Cousins, and many more. I have been slotting Cousins into more of my lineups than Westbrook tonight, so you might be against my style here.

I will be running down all the names provided through Colossus, and list three lineups for each site below. With the big GPP contests tonight, I am gearing these more towards those.

Guards

T.J. McConnell continues to be a decent producing point guard, and without George Hill tonight, I do not mind popping him into a tournament. On the other side, Monta Ellis, and C.J. Miles get a bump with no Hill, and both are phenomenal value plays. Ellis has a solid floor for $6,000, while Miles is a nice deep value play. Without Derrick Rose tonight, I have locked in Jimmy Buckets, who will see a big usage rate tonight, and could be the point guard. There is a lot of shuffling with this Bulls team, so do not be adding Aaron Brooks to all over your lineups. No Jrue Holiday tonight, so Ish Smith will continue being a decent value play. Not the best matchup, but Vegas has both sides being high scoring tonight, he has shown to be a solid playmaker. Dennis Schroder will log 25 minutes whether Teague plays or not, which is always comforting, but we want starter's minutes. For just $4,800 he will likely pay off. The final guard in the lineups here is Kemba Walker, who has been consistently solid the last few games, and gets a great matchup. Brooklyn ranks 24th against opposing point guards in fantasy points allowed.

Forwards/Center

Colossus is in love with Gordon Hayward tonight, and I think it is due to the price drop on all three sites. Hayward is a well arounded basketball player, and would be a great fantasy play on another team. Utah is balanced, and play a slower pace of game. Now, Hayward has a high ceiling, but also has a low floor. Toronto ranks just 19th against opposing SF. Jared Sullinger finds himself between 25-30 minutes a night, but is averaging nearly a double-double this season. He is a great fantasy points per minute play, and Dallas struggles against PF. For his cheap price tag, I do not mind him in tournaments. I talked about Pau Gasol being one of my favorite GPP targets tonight, mainly due to him being talked about less than Butler. Gasol will see a shooting bump, and will benefit from the uptempo game. Cousins and Lopez are the two safer big man plays tonight, and Cousins is my favorite play on the board. Very hard not to fire both of them up, where at DK you can.

Good Stuff. After Westbrooks 72 point performance I think I will ride his train until it stops. I have a lot of these mixed into my FreeRoll lineup.

Which freeroll? FantasyHub?

Yeah Westbrook is fairly easy to slide in there, and I can't blame anyone just throwing him in first for lineups.
