Tonight’s NBA GPP Picks 4/10 slate will be a seven-game slate. There will be plenty of news to watch for as usual in the NBA as Joel Embiid is a rest candidate with Philly playing a depleted Thunder team. A few other notables’ situations to watch are Kyle Lowry, Kyle Kuzma, John Wall, and Mason Plumlee will all be questionable.
As usual, the Discord Chat rooms will be a wonderful place to be to follow all news throughout the day. In there you will find the WinDaily staff and myself answering any questions you may have. at first glance I see the top-paced teams squaring off against some of the slowest teams today. Our top-priced player on DraftKings tonight will be Russell Westbrook in a tough matchup with Phoenix.
My article will consist of two players that will exceed value from each position specifically for tournament/GPP. I will be using DraftKings pricing. Time to jump into todays’ NBA GPP Picks 4/10 breakdown!
Bombcarlo’s NBA GPP Picks 4/10
Point Guard
Kyrie Irving – ($10,400)
The Nets will be without Harden again and two of the last three games without Harden Kyrie has shot 27 or more times. Kyrie leads the Nets in usage and is averaging over 1.3 fantasy points per minute without Harden. We should have Durant on a minute’s restriction again so if this game is close Kyrie should see plenty of opportunities. Let’s not forget the Lakers have been a top ten team in pace over the last ten games without Bron and AD.
Theo Maledon – ($5,600)
Over the past five games with all the injuries, Maledon has average a team-high 29% usage rate. It does look as if Bazley will return but should be limited after a month’s absence. We have seen the ceiling with Maledon scoring over 40 in two of his past five. The Thunder have not kept many games close lately but, in the game, they did Maledon played 36 minutes. If Embiid is out this game may be closer and Maledon could see a team-high in usage and minutes.
Shooting Guard
Devin Booker – ($8,900)
A great matchup awaits Booker who is playing the Wizards who are the fastest-paced team in the league. His last three pace-up games against Houston, Charlotte, and Chicago resulted in over 50 fantasy points for Booker in all three. He leads the Suns in usage by a wide margin at 33% on the year. We also need to keep an eye on the status of Beal on the other side of the ball who may be a rest candidate.
Cory Joseph – ($4,000)
Last time out Joseph started with Jerami Grant absent and played 32 minutes while scoring 40 fantasy points. In that game, Joseph went for a 26.5% usage rate against his former team. The matchup is great as well with Portland giving up the eighth-most fantasy points to shooting guards and ranking second-worst in defensive efficiency. We should see Joseph start again and at this price, I will roll him out.
Small Forward
Tobias Harris – ($8,100)
There were reports Embiid landed on his knee awkwardly and may have tweaked it. The 76ers may want to take caution and sit him out against an awful Thunder team. If they sit him Harris sees a 3.7% usage increase and averages 1.17 fantasy points per minute. This matchup is elite with OKC allowing the most fantasy points to power forwards and ranking third-worst in defensive rating over the past ten games.
Joe Ingles – ($5,400)
Utah is expecting to be without Jordan Clarkson again and Ingles went for 33 fantasy points last game without him. A date with the Kings tonight is a wonderful thing as they have given up the fifth-most fantasy points to shooting guards and still rank dead last in defensive efficiency. The price is nice for several Jazz players in this great spot I think Bogdanovic and O’Neale can be solid options as well.
Power Forward
OG Anunoby – ($6,600)
Toronto has been shorthanded which led to Anunoby playing 41 minutes last game against the Bulls. Since returning Anunoby has scored under 32 fantasy points just twice in those eleven games. In those games, he is consistently shooting around 15 times per game. Less than a month ago Anunoby played Cleveland playing 31 minutes while scoring 34.5 fantasy points. He still has a ceiling at this price and has been consistent.
Taurean Prince – ($4,600)
In the five games back on the court Prince has yet to see a usage rate under 21.5%. The Cavs did not rush Prince back into action but in the past three games, he saw at least 26 minutes and recorded over 32 fantasy points in all three. With Prince’s return, Osman has been cut from the rotation, and with Nance already out the potential will be there for another 30-point night.
Center
Pascal Siakam – ($8,400)
We need to watch the Kyle Lowry news if he sits again then Siakam sees a usage increase of 4.5% bringing his total over 30%. Siakam is averaging 1.3 fantasy points per minute with Lowry and the other Raptors that are out off the floor. Let’s remember that Cleveland will be without their primary rim protector Jarrett Allen. An individual matchup with Kevin Love to start the game isn’t anything to be afraid of.
Isaiah Stewart – ($4,500)
For this pick, we need to keep an eye on Mason Plumlee. In the past three games where Plumlee has played little or none, Stewart has played 22 or more minutes. He scored 29 or more fantasy points in those games and the game he failed to do so was a tough spot against Denver. He is in a fantastic spot today against Portland who is allowing the third-most fantasy points to centers over the past ten and ranks second-worst in defensive rating.
Closing Bombcarlo’s NBA GPP Picks 4/10
Thank you for reading my NBA GPP Picks 4/10 article. It should be a fantastic seven-game NBA slate with news bound to fall. I would say that Beal could be a rest candidate being on his first back-to-back since returning from his injury. Keeping up with Discord may be tough for me today as I will be attending the Twins game. After the game, I will hope on and we should have the news we need to finish dissecting today’s slate. I am glad there are starting to be fans at games and glad I get to attend so soon! Enjoy your Saturday and best of luck on your MLB, NBA, or MMA lineups today!
