With all the big contests tonight, I am narrowing down these lineups for GPP's, and there are a lot of similar plays across the three sites.
DraftKings
Jeff Teague has a safe floor, and at his price, I love the stability he brings. He also has a decent ceiling, but for the value/price, Colossus snatched him up. Khris Middleton continues to log big minutes, and will once again tonight. For just $5,600, you are getting a nice floor and ceiling with him. The matchup is a great one as well. Joe Johnson is a wild card, but the cafe value loves him. There are a few enticing options, like Evan Fournier at SF tonight, who is $4,400. This is a pivot I would go towards. I noticed Aldridge's price on DraftKings today, and was shocked. Just $7,200, he is a big name for cheap, with plenty of upside tonight. Tim Duncan showed he still has upside, but will the minutes be there? If you want a safer tourney play, Serge Ibaka. With Boogie Cousins out (DeMarcus), Willie Cauley-Stein played 34 minutes last night, and gets an easier matchup against Phoenix tonight. He is a double-double threat, and his main feature is his block shots ability. Darren Collison continues to come off of the bench, seeing 30 minutes, and is scoring at will right now. If he can add on a few other key stats, he will have some nice upside. Westbrook is the big player here, and if he goes off for a monster night, he can win some GPP's.
FanDuel
This one is bold here, mainly because we have some risky higher priced plays. Westbrook and Harden are locks for big upside games, and Bayless is the top value play tonight with MCW out. Klay Thompson and Gordon Hayward have solid upside, but a low floor. It is a high risk high reward play, and Hayward becomes a better risk to take if Derrick Favors is out. Thompson has not started out the season hot, and has been less of a focal point in the offense. Golden State has the highest team total on the slate, so we could see him get in on the action. David Lee is in the mix of a deep front court, but is a decent usage guy when on the floor. Boston has a sneaky big total tonight, and he is a key part in grabbing Harden/Westbrook.
FantasyHub
FantasyHub is a little bit easier to fit bigger names, and we see that here. Westbrook and Harden make appearances again, while we upgrade some value plays to Nikola Vucevic and Tobias Harris. Both are great GPP plays tonight. Colossus has also stuck with the same value as the other two sites, which makes a lot of sense.
