NBA GPP Picks 8/30
In this article I will be breaking down NBA GPP Picks 8/30. I will inform you with at least one player per position that strikes my interest and If I am interested in a player on only one site, I will be site specific. I will be using DraftKings pricing for this article.
Today we get to start the second round of the NBA playoffs along with two game sixes for this NBA GPP Picks 8/30 slate. Our highest scoring game according to Vegas is Clippers vs Dallas with a massive 238 ½ total. This is remarkably interesting as Dallas has a slough of injuries and questionable players, we will need to keep a close eye on. The Boston vs Toronto series should be a fantastic series to watch. Make sure you head over to the Discord chat rooms, with myself and the rest of the WinDaily staff to keep stay updated on all the injury news that may occur.
NBA GPP Picks 8/23
PG
Jordan Clarkson – ($5,300)
He has yet to score under 25 fantasy points during this series, which is solid value with the stiffer pricing at this point in the playoffs. He comes off the bench and puts up, as he has attempted double digit shot attempts in every game this series as well. Denver has given up the most points to point guards and the second most to shooting guards over the past two weeks. Clarkson should have another solid performance with his matchup and usage.
SG
Fred VanVleet – ($7,700)
This man is just a machine in the playoffs scoring over 40 fantasy points in each game he played over 30 minutes. His last game was an outlier as he got in foul trouble and then the blowout, he only played 19 minutes but still scoring 26 fantasy points. Averaging 36.5 fantasy points against Boston during the regular season, if VanVleet gets his massive minutes as usual he shouldn’t have a problem eclipsing 36.5.
SF
Jayson Tatum – ($9,200)
Another game without Gordon Hayward is good news for Tatum who leads the team in usage at 31.2% with Hayward off the floor. Tatum scored over 50 fantasy points in three out of the four games against the 76ers. Toronto is a good matchup for small forwards as they have given up the third most fantasy points to small forwards in the past two weeks. Tatum should have a big day as Kemba may have a tough time against the defense of these Toronto guards.
PF
Michael Porter Jr. – ($5,500)
This price is what draws my interest here, and I expect Utah to be certain to at least contain Jamal Murray during this night cap. Clearly this is a tournament play as his minutes did dip two games prior to game five. I think that was just sending a message to him if you won’t at least try on defense you wont play. In five games against Utah, Porter has averaged 32.7 fantasy points. Porter still can score above 30 fantasy points if he plays 30 minutes which should be solid value for a tough power forward position this slate.
C
Enes Kanter – ($3,700)
If most of the Dallas players are good to go, I will look here or Daniel Theis for some salary relief. Toronto plays with a big lineup rolling out Siakam, Gasol, and Ibaka throughout the game. Kanter usually performs whenever he gets minutes and with a bigger lineup of Toronto, I expect Kanter to see minutes. Kanter has also averaged 24 fantasy points against Toronto this season. Jarrett Allen played extremely well against Toronto big men last series. These Boston big men could provide some salary relief.
That will conclude this weekend of NBA GPP Picks 8/30 three game slate. We have plenty of injury news in Dallas with four players questionable and Porzingis ruled out with a Meniscus tear. With no Porzingis Dallas may throw in the towel and Luka may sit today too, regardless you’re going to need to make sure you keep an eye on this news. A good way to follow that news is join myself and the rest of the staff in the Discord chat rooms as we follow all injury news and keep you updated on our favorite plays. Thanks for reading, Goodluck, and enjoy your Sunday!
