Bombcarlo’s NBA GPP Picks 4/25

It was a crazy night in the sports world and now it’s time to bring it all back with NBA GPP Picks 4/25. It will be a four-game slate that has tons of injury information already. De’Aaron Fox and Collin Sexton are already ruled out with Clint Capela, Wendell Carter, and Terrence Ross all questionable. As usual for NBA that makes the Discord Chat rooms an important place to be. The WinDaily staff and I will be there to answer any questions and keep you posted on the latest news. Vegas has three of the four games opening at a 229 which should make for a fun slate so let’s dive in!

In today’s article, I will be using DraftKings pricing to select my two favorite GPP/Tournament players for today’s NBA slate. Due to the smaller slate, I may not get two selections for every position.

Bombcarlo’s NBA GPP Picks 4/25

Point Guard
Stephen Curry – ($10,500)
It has gone to a little Steph take-over time where he has shot over 20 times in ten out of eleven games. He attempted ten or more threes in all of those eleven games except one. He is averaging a 37% usage on the year making it hard to overlook him when it comes to setting lineups. Today he draws about the juiciest matchup he can ask for playing the worst-ranked defensive rate team along with giving up the fourth-most fantasy points to point guards this year.

Brandon Goodwin – ($4,200)
With Trae Young sidelined Goodwin is forced into a strong role on this Hawks squad. In the first game without Young, we saw Goodwin with a 29% usage rate. He turned that into 26 fantasy points on 22 minutes of court time. The Bucks represent a pace-up spot as they have been the third-fastest team this season. Regardless of the score, Goodwin will see his minutes and this price is still fair.

Shooting Guard
Caris Levert – ($8,400)
You can’t ask for a better matchup than the one Levert gets tonight. The Magic rank dead last in defensive rating over the past ten games and have given up the most fantasy points to shooting guards this season. When Sabonis and Turner are off the floor Levert sees a 27.5% usage rate resulting in 1.13 fantasy points per minute. The matchup is juicy and the added usage Is here for Levert to capitalize on a smash spot.

Delon Wright – ($4,900)
Since Fox is ruled out it will be up to Wright and Davis to play big minutes. I chose Wright because in three of his last four games he played 26 or more minutes scoring 28 or more fantasy points in all three. Averaging .9 fantasy points per minute with Fox out solid especially when you’re in a matchup with the second fast-paced team in the league.

Small Forward
Kevin Huerter – ($6,400)
When Young is out along with the other Hawks that have been out for a while Huerter sees the largest usage increase of 4%. Recently Huerter has been playing massive minutes recording at least 36 minutes in four of his last five. A date with the third-fastest team will benefit Atlanta. I believe other than Goodwin, Huerter and Gallinari will be my main plays from a Trae Youngless Hawks.

Isaac Okoro – (3,600)
Since Sexton and Prince will both miss this game the minutes for Okoro are as safe as it comes. With those two off the floor, he has played more minutes than any other Cavelier. Okoro obtains a slight 2.6% usage increase without those two. At this price and facing the fastest-paced team in the league will be all Okoro needs to hit value. He has played at least 30 minutes in six of his last seven.

Power Forward
Davis Bertans – ($5,100)
The Wizards are thin at power forward with both Hachimura and Avdija already ruled out. Bertans sees a 3% usage increase without those two on his way to just under .9 fantasy points per minute. The minutes and opportunities will be here against Cleveland who is giving up the sixth-most fantasy points to power forwards in the past ten games. A big part of that is three-pointers made for those power forwards which is lovely news for Bertans.

Center
Mo Bamba – ($5,500)
We will need to see what happens with the status of Carter Jr. If he sits again Bamba should be in line for a minimum of 25 minutes. Last game out with Carter off the floor Bamba played 28 minutes going for 38 fantasy points. Let’s not forget that in two of the last three games he led his team in usage both games totaling over 26%. Now add that Indiana is extremely thin in the frontcourt and it’s tough to go wrong.

Oshae Brissett – ($4,800)
Since Bitadze was ruled out last night I assume he will remain out tonight along with Sabonis and Turner. All three have been out the past two games where Brissett played 38 and 42 minutes, on his way to 32.25 and 51.5 fantasy points. A great matchup awaits with the Magic allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to centers over the past ten games and maybe without starter Wendell Carter.
