NBA GPP Picks 8/8

NBA GPP Picks 8/8

In this article I will be breaking down NBA GPP Picks 8/8. 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 have a five game NBA slate that start early again. We do have several teams still playing for seeding and we have Portland working to get in the playoffs. Attacking the teams such as Portland with motive to play starters heavy minutes is something I will be searching for as other teams such as Milwaukee and L.A Lakers already have the one seeds clinched. This particular slate you’re going to need to pay very close attention to injury news as Lebron, Tj Warren, and Jamal Murray are questionable. Be certain to check out the Discord chat rooms as myself and the rest of the WinDaily staff will be following the injury news and confirming our favorite plays before lock, to help you bring in some money.

NBA GPP Picks 8/8

PG

Lou Williams – ($5,500)

Lou is just getting back in the swing of things since breaking the covid bubble rules. Patrick Beverley is now out, and Lou should be ready to take on more minutes in his third game. Williams draws a great matchup against Portland who he has averaged 36 fantasy points against this season. Portland has allowed the fifth most fantasy points to point guards and has the fourth worst defensive team rating in the NBA this season. Here should be an excellent spot for Williams to exceed his value.

Mike Conley – ($5,900)

Conley has benefited without Bojan Bogdanovic on the floor. In the four games since the restart he has seen at least 30 minutes and over 30 fantasy points in three of those games. He has scored 42 fantasy points against Denver in the only game he played against them this season. Since the return to basketball Denver hasn’t seen Jamal Murray, Will Barton, or Gary Harris and has been hands down the worst team at defending point guards giving up over 55 fantasy points to point guards per game.

SG

Tyler Herro – ($5,100)

Miami will be without Kendrick Nunn and Jimmy Butler, with Goran Dragic also questionable. With Butler and Nunn out, Herro holds a 26.7% usage rate and is averaging 33 fantasy points per 36 minutes. If Dragic is held out Herro will be very chalky and most Miami players that see minutes will be a viable option.

SF

Cameron Johnson – (5,200)

All but officially eliminated the Suns really have nothing to player for at this point, they would have to win out and two other teams would have to lose out. Johnson has been fantastic since the NBA return, he’s scored at least 20 fantasy points in every game and over 37 fantasy points in two of those games. He has also been welcomed with at least 36 minutes of playing time in the last three games. Phoenix should look to give the young man minutes as the season for them winds down.

Jusuf Nurkic – ($8,900)

Just one game out of the eighth seed Portland is battling to make the playoffs, as a result of that their starters are playing massive minutes. Nurkic has come back ready to dominate as he failed to reach the 30 minute mark just once and that was partially due to foul trouble. He has also reached at least 50 fantasy points in three out of his four games. The Clippers have easily struggled the most against centers as they’ve given up the ninth most fantasy points to centers this season.

C

Bam Adebayo – ($7,400)

I love Adebayo at this price tag, then add that Butler and Nunn are both already ruled out. This is one of the lowest prices we have seen Adebayo at this season and without those two players he is averaging 46.3 fantasy points per 36 minutes. Adebayo was in foul trouble in his prior game against the Bucks and has a better matchup today against Phoenix. Given the price and the absent Heat players Adebayo may be a key part to my GPP lineups.

Nikola Jokic – ($9,200)

As I mentioned in the intro I want to target meaningful games and this game is one of them. Denver and Utah are fighting for home court advantage in the first round and this is a massive game for these two teams. Jokic has been successful against Utah as he is averaging 67 fantasy points against them this season. If Jamal Murray is out again Jokic contains a usage percentage of 30% without Murray, Barton, and Garry Harris on the floor.

That will wrap it up for my article NBA GPP Picks 8/8 five game slate. It should be a fantastic Saturday of basketball with several meaningful games being played. You want exposure to those meaningful games such as Denver vs Utah and Clippers vs Blazers as those players should see all the minutes they can handle.
