nba dfs picks

Today brings us another five-game slate for NBA GPP Picks 4/18. We do have a couple of quality players out in John Wall and Damian Lillard. That should open plenty of value for us on this slate. A key player that enters today questionable is Kawhi Leonard. Any news on him will alter the slate so be sure to join the WinDaily staff and me in the Discord Chat room. We offer our latest advice along with the latest news on today’s slate. The late-night hammer for this slate between LAC and MIN is projected for the highest total at 234 ½. We have a five-game NBA slate to talk about so let’s get into it!

In this article, I will be breaking down my two top plays at each position using DraftKings pricing. Due to the shorter slate, I may not get both for all positions.

Bombcarlo’s NBA GPP Picks 4/18

Point Guard
Cj McCollum – ($8,700)
When Lillard sat last game, McCollum led his squad in usage rate at 34%. A large part of that was him shooting the ball 26 times in that outing. It has been three straight games of over 36 minutes. I do think it is worth mentioning that McCollum is averaging five more real points and ten more fantasy points on the road. Combine that with his team-high in usage and McCollum will have a great night.

Anfernee Simons – ($3,600)
With Damian Lillard already ruled out we should see Simons play big minutes again. Last time out without Lillard Simons eclipsed the 30-minute mark and scored 29.5 fantasy points. When Lillard is absent Simons holds a 21.2% usage rate while averaging just under a fantasy point per minute. A matchup against a depleted Charlotte team is enticing too.

Shooting Guard
Paul George – ($9,300)
If Kawhi is out again this pick is a no-brainer it seems. Just play George and if he sucks so be it. In the past three games, he played without Leonard his lowest usage rate is 37%. All three of those games saw George score 50 fantasy points or more. A glorious matchup awaits PG as well with the Wolves being the fourth fastest team and ranking third-worst in defensive efficiency. Just fire him up he has scored over 50 in five straight now.

Gary Harris – ($4,200)
The former Nugget has been seeing around a 20% usage rate for his new squad. Harris has been getting worked back slowly and should be off any restriction he may have had. This is a smash spot in which Harris already scored 27 fantasy points in 28 minutes. With Houston ranking sixth fastest and fifth-worst in defensive rating Harris will have a fantastic opportunity at over 25 fantasy points.

Small Forward
Luguentz Dort – ($6,900)
In the past two games, Dort has led this thin Thunder team. Over the last two games, he is averaging a 36% usage rate while scoring at least 44.5 fantasy points in both. With the Thunder players off the floor that are already ruled out, Dort increases his usage by 10% and averages 1.22 fantasy points per minute. His last two massive fantasy performances were tough matchups against Utah and Detroit. This spot will allow Dort the possibility at a larger ceiling.

Miles Bridges – (7,200)
Due to the substantial number of injuries for Charlotte Bridges has been playing massive minutes recording 36 or more in six straight. If the same players sit that sat last game Bridge’s usage increases over 5% and he averages over a fantasy point per minute at 1.03. He is facing the second-worst defensive team in the league which could only be a benefit. If the Hornets are shorthanded again the minutes and shot attempts available are impossible to ignore.

Power Forward
Kristaps Porzingis – ($9,000)
He comes with a price tag but if I am playing a Dallas player, I will choose Porzingis over Luka. I think you can play Luka since the Kings play at a top ten pace and still rank dead last in team defense. I will just prefer to pay less for Porzingis with a 55-to-60-point upside. The Kings are the fifth-worst rebounding team this season and will be without starting big man Richuan Holmes. I will want plenty of exposure to this game in general because it is going to be fantastic.

Darius Bazley- ($6,000)
Since the Thunder are shorthanded and since Bazley returned he has the second-highest usage at 24%. In three of this last four Bazley has gone for over 30 fantasy points while posting over a 25% usage rate in those three games. If you play Bazley and Dort you are getting over 50% of a team usage for a discounted rate.

Center
Christian Wood – ($8,500)
Since Houston will be without Wall tonight they will count on Wood and Porter Jr to absorb a majority of their usage. Their opponent brings a favorable matchup as they have been the fifth-worst defensive team since the deadline. We have just seen Wood go for over 50 fantasy points in two of his last three. Now tonight without a usage monster like Wall, Wood should have more touches against Orlando.

Ivica Zubac – ($5,400)
It will be up to Zubac to defend Towns so I believe his minutes will be safe here other than foul trouble. Other than his down performance last game Zubac had gone three straight games with 25 or more fantasy points. The Wolves are the best matchup he has had as they have allowed the second-most fantasy points to centers. Today’s icing on the cake is the Wolves’ fast-paced zero-defense basketball will allow Zubac to get a double-double.

It was fun breaking down today’s five-game NBA GPP Picks 4/18 slate. There is always the potential for slate-breaking news so don’t be afraid to jump in Discord. You can also check out our Projection Models before lock to stay updated on the best point per dollar plays. The majority of my spend-up options will come from SAC vs DAL or MIN vs LAC depending on Kawhi. I appreciate you tuning in. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and good luck!

Tonight will bring us a five-game slate for NBA GPP Picks 4/17. We have half of tonight’s teams on the second leg of a back-to-back. The Wizards are one of those teams and we will need to keep an eye on Bradley Beal resting after playing 42 minutes last night. A perfect place to stay updated on all the latest developments is in our Discord Chat rooms. Our biggest questionable status is Kelly Oubre and hopefully, it stays that way until lock. Some Grizzlies stuck out to me as cheap options because this game should be a track meet projected for 236 ½ points. Let us scroll and check out today’s picks!

In this article, I will be breaking down my two top plays at each position using DraftKings pricing. Due to the shorter slate, I may not get both for all positions.

Bombcarlo’s NBA GPP Picks 4/17

Point Guard
Ja Morant – ($7,000)
The Grizzlies star guard saw this matchup once earlier in the season and went for over 50 fantasy points. This a pass-up spot for the Grizzlies as Milwaukee has been the third-fastest team in the league. His minutes have been up slightly with playing at least 35 minutes in four of his last five games. The Bucks will be without a good defensive player in Divencenzo as well. Getting pieces of the highest total game will be important and Morant will be near the top of that list.

Coby White – ($5,200)
The Bulls already have Lavine ruled out and Satoransky entering today questionable. Last night with both players absent White played 33 minutes while going for 44 fantasy points. His usage rate was fantastic against Memphis last night at 27%. Tonight, he faces Cleveland who has given up the seventh-most fantasy points to shooting guards. Even if Satoransky plays White should start at shooting guard for Lavine.

Killian Hayes – ($3,400)
We have Dennis Smith Jr and Cory Joseph potentially sitting out another game. Last night without those two out Hayes started and played 27 minutes leading to 36 fantasy points. Now tonight he faces the fastest-paced team in the NBA who has allowed the third-most fantasy points to point guards this season. This is a cheap price tag that Hayes has paid off in two straight games. He has averaged a usage just under 20% since his return which is plenty to pay off this price.

Shooting Guard
Bradley Beal – ($8,700)
If Beal can give it a go this is the lowest salary, he has been in two months. He has played 36 minutes, not in his past three games showing the injury is behind him. In Beal’s last five games his usage rate has been above 32%. The Pistons could end up short-handed again which would help Beal. I say that because in the past ten games the Pistons are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to shooting guards. If he plays the bargain price tag makes Beal hard to ignore.

Denzel Valentine – ($3,000)
In last night’s game, Valentine saw 17 minutes without the two starting guards. During those minutes Valentine found his way to a 25% usage rate. There is a good possibility Garrett Temple sits out this second half of a back-to-back. Cleveland struggles to guard the three-point line and shooting guards giving up the seventh-most fantasy points to them. If Lavine, Satoransky, and Temple all sit there will be massive minutes for Valentine at minimum price. Even if two sit I think he can pay off his salary.
Small Forward

Dillon Brooks – ($5,400)
The man has been chucking up shots lately, in his past five games, Brook’s fewest shot attempts are seventeen. Now today he gets a quick-paced game facing the third-fastest team in the league. These two squads have played once this season and Brooks went off for over 50 fantasy points in that game. Brooks will continue to see safe minutes if Melton is out and the above 32% usage over his previous two games can’t hurt.

Power Forward
Jayson Tatum – ($9,500)
I do not see the Warriors having anyone to guard Tatum. If they put Draymond on him, I think Tatum will eat him up. Tatum leads the Celtics in usage averaging a 30% rate on the year. Golden State is a plus matchup as they have given up the second-most fantasy points to power forwards and are playing at the second-quickest pace this season. I like Tatum over Giannis right now strictly due to the question mark with the minutes for the latter. If we get word Giannis is a full go, I may insert him here.

Jerami Grant – ($6,500)
Grant has been in and out of the lineup lately but has still scored over 35 fantasy points in his last three games. In those three games, he has not dipped below a 31.8% usage rate either. Today Grant sees a Wizard’s squad that ranks the fastest in the NBA. This is another player who is a bargain on this slate because this is Grant’s cheapest tag in well over a month. His minutes appear to be back too as he played 36 minutes last time out.

Center
Jarrett Allen – ($7,600)
After returning from a nearly three-week absence it seems Allen is ready for a full load as he played 35 minutes in his second game back. Those minutes allowed him to score 39 fantasy points. This is a smash spot if the minutes are that high because Chicago is allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to centers since getting Vucevic. They have also been the second-worst team in defensive rating over the past five games. The Cleveland big man has already dropped 40 fantasy points on Chicago this season. This tag is a little steep but we have value to get up here.

Deandre Ayton – ($6,800)
Tonight, Ayton brings in a seven-game streak of scoring 34.5 fantasy points or more. Does not seem like much but for this salary, he is hitting value. The best part is in the past four games Ayton has played 30 minutes or less and still hit that mark. He should go Banana’s if he gets into the 33-minute range facing the team that has allowed the most fantasy points to centers this season. Over the past five games, Ayton has seen about a 3% usage increase compared to his season average.

Bombcarlo’s NBA GPP Picks 4/11

Point Guard
Cole Anthony – ($5,000)
In two games since returning from a rib injury, Anthony has logged 26 minutes with 25 or more fantasy points. During those two games, his usage has yet to fall below 21%. A date with Milwaukee means a massive pace-up spot as Chicago is the third quickest team. If we get a few more minutes out of Anthony he should surpass 30 fantasy points.

Goran Dragic – ($4,700)
With Oladipo suffering another injury and Herro rolling in questionable we could have major guard minutes available. When Herro and Oladipo are off the floor Dragic sees a usage rate of 27%. He is scoring .9 fantasy points per minute during that time and should see the upper 20’s in minutes without Herro. A great matchup awaits Dragic as the Blazers have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to point guards and rank second-worst in defensive rating.

Shooting Guard
Paul George – ($8,400)
We already received news that Kawhi will be out and that’s wonderful for rostering Paul George. When Leonard is off the floor George sees a massive 9.5% usage increase to a team-high 39%. Also, during that time PG is recording over 1.5 fantasy points per minute. The Pistons could be missing Jerami Grant again who is an effective defensive player. A reasonable price is a cherry on top for a guy who scored 50 in two straight games.

D’Angelo Russell – ($6,500)
Russell has played three games since returning from his two-month absence and last game he logged 29 minutes. I believe this price is too cheap especially if we see the Minnesota guard pass the 30-minute mark. He has already scored over 40 fantasy points in two of his three games with under 30 minutes. Since Vucevic was acquired, the Bulls rank sixth-worst in team defense. This game may be the highest total on the slate at 231 a DLO, Lavine, Town’s stack could be the ticket.

Small Forward
Khris Middleton – ($8,000)
Giannis is coming into this game doubtful which means I will ride Middleton yet again. When Giannis is off the floor Middleton sees a 6.3% usage increase bringing his total to 31.5%. It’s not like he hasn’t been taking the shots he did just shoot 27 times against Dallas but only made 6. The Magic isn’t a matchup that scares me and the high usage should allow Middleton to pay off this tag.

Marcus Morris – ($4,800)
When you’re missing a guy like Kawhi there is a ton of usage to makeup and Morris soaks up 6.4% of that. His usage then sits at 26% which is second to only Paul George. That makes this price too cheap and the minutes will be much safer without Kawhi. Let’s not forget that Morris is averaging 1.11 fantasy points per minute with Leonard absent. If Jerami Grant is out again Detroit has no one to guard Morris or George.

Power Forward
Zion Williamson – ($9,400)
New Orleans will be without Ball and Alexander Walker again not to mention Josh Hart. Zion increases his usage by 8.1% with them off the floor in route to a massive 1.66 fantasy points per minute. Last game without Lonzo, Williamson had a 41.5% usage rate and recorded 68 fantasy points against a tough Philly team. About a month ago to the day the Pelicans and Cavs squared off and Zion went for 23 points and 32 fantasy points in just 18 minutes. The small number of minutes was due to a giant blowout.

Taurean Prince – ($5,100)
I will go back to the well here as Nance should remain out and we may see Kevin Love rest on the second half of a back-to-back. Without those two and Jarrett Allen Prince comes in third in usage at 24% behind the two guards. In the six games since he has returned Prince has yet to see below a 21% usage rate. A wonderful spot here against the Pelicans who have given up the most points to power forwards and rank third-worst in defensive efficiency.

Center
Karl-Anthony Towns – ($10,800)
I normally don’t list two bigger names from the same team but with KAT and DLO you can soak up a huge chunk of the Wolves usage. He has scored 52 or more fantasy points in nine straight games while recording a double-double in all nine. This is a beautiful matchup against the Bulls who have given up the third-most fantasy points to centers and rank sixth-worst in defensive rating since getting Vucevic. It’s tough to overlook a guy in a great matchup who has scored 30 real points in four of his last five games.

Wendell Carter Jr. – ($5,700)
Carter may be the only active center tonight with Okeke and Bamba having questionable tags. Since joining his new squad Carter has recorded 30 minutes or more three times. All three of those games led to Carter scoring 40 or more fantasy points. He sees a fast-paced matchup against Milwaukee and may be forced to play big minutes. We saw him record a usage above 20% in five straight games. If one of the two above-listed players is ruled out then Carter is an extremely solid play.

Closing Bombcarlo’s NBA GPP Picks 4/11

I appreciate you reading my article NBA GPP Picks 4/11. Remember that Discord Chat and checking out our Projection Models will be a benefit. This will be a fun eight-game slate that has plenty of injury news to sort through already. A main target of mine will be the Wolves vs Bulls and Pelicans vs Cavs. It is Masters Sunday and I can’t wait to tune in. Enjoy your Sunday filled with golf, baseball, and basketball. Good luck and hopefully you secure some green.

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!

Welcome back to Bombcarlo’s NBA GPP Picks 4/4 for this four-game slate. We have tons of news to watch with several Pelicans players out or questionable. Among the players questionable we see Zion, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, and Trae Young. We could also see Joel Embiid sit on the second night of a back-to-back since returning from his knee injury.

That being said, the Discord Chat rooms will be an important piece to taking down tonight’s slate. In there you will find the WinDaily staff and myself helping you stay updated on the top plays on the slate. The two games expected to be high totals are Houston vs New Orleans and Atlanta vs Golden State. I won’t waste any more time before rolling into this great four-game NBA slate.

For today’s shorter four-game slate I will go over each game while breaking down the top plays for NBA GPP Picks 4/4. I will be using DraftKings pricing.

Bombcarlo’s NBA GPP Picks 4/4

Memphis Grizzlies vs Philadelphia 76ers
Grizzlies
I haven’t been playing the Grizzlies for a while and that won’t change unless we get word of an injury. They run a deep rotation and spread out the usage enough for me to avoid them.

76ers
Tobias Harris – ($8,400)
I already mentioned we may see Joel Embiid sit on this second leg of a back-to-back set. If that is the case Harris receives a 3.5% usage increase while recording 1.15 fantasy points per minute during that time. While Embiid was missing Harris saw nearly 20 shot attempts per game. The price has come down slightly recently due to poor performances in two straight games. I don’t love much on the 76ers side if Embiid does play though.

Dwight Howard – ($6,200)
Again, this is only if Embiid is indeed ruled out. If Embiid sits we should see Howard dominate the center minutes for Philly since Tony Bradley is no longer with them. When Embiid was just absent Howard averaged above a 20% usage rate and he has recorded 1.18 fantasy points per minute. I see Howard on the floor whenever JOVAL is so he could easily see 30 minutes in this spot.

Golden State Warriors vs Atlanta Hawks

Warriors
Steph Curry – ($9,800)
The Warriors is pretty simple for me especially today with the prices inflated from Steph’s absence. I will only be playing Steph from this team. He has seen over a 30% usage rate in five straight games. Today he gets a nice matchup against Atlanta who has given up the sixth-most fantasy points to point guards and ranks seventh-worst in defensive efficiency.

Hawks

Trae Young – ($9,500)
When Collins, Hunter, and Reddish are off the floor Young sees a 10% usage increase. During that time Young is averaging a 42.8% usage rate while accumulating 1.55 fantasy points per minute. This matchup is amazing as Golden State is the second-fastest team in the league and Steph’s defense is nothing to be afraid of.

Lou Williams – ($5,500)
I like this play much more as long as Gallinari sits for another game. Trae may sit too as he comes in questionable. In his two games with Atlanta Lou has soaked up a 25% usage rate while scoring 40 fantasy points last game without Young. The Warriors play fast which should allow for plenty of opportunities. I think you can play any mid-priced Hawk player if Gallinari is out again.

New Orleans Pelicans vs Houston Rockets

Pelicans
All of this depends on who plays for them, I assume Ball will miss another game since they signed Isaiah Thomas. We also see Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson questionable. There could be lots of plays from the Pelicans pending who plays with Josh Hart also ruled out.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker – ($7,000)
With all the injuries and now Josh Hart being added to that list will allow Walker to keep his 30-minute streak going. It has been seven straight games that NAW has played 31 or more minutes. During those seven games, Walker has averaged a 24% usage rate and scored under 31 fantasy points just once. The Rockets have been the sixth-worst team in defensive rating over the last ten and will be without John Wall again.

James Johnson – ($4,400)
We will need one of Zion or Ingram to sit for Johnson to be in play. Over the past two games with those two off the floor, Johnson has an average usage rate of 20.5%. In those two games, Johnson played 28 and 29 minutes while recording more than 28 fantasy points in both games. This is a better matchup than those two games facing a depleted Rockets squad.

Rockets
Kevin Porter Jr. – (6,900)
When Wall is absent along with all the other Rockets Porter is seeing a 29% usage rate. He has seen 30 minutes in four straight games and we have seen Porter go for a 45 point or more ceiling without Wall before. He draws an outstanding matchup against the banged-up Pelicans squad who already ranked third-worst in team defense this season.

Avery Bradley – ($3,700)
Bradley has been eased into the rotation with his new team seeing 28 minutes the most since joining the Rockets. Those 28 minutes allowed Bradley to surpass the 28-fantasy point mark. It has now been two straight games that Bradley has eclipsed the 20% usage mark. Today he will get a great matchup against the third-worst defensive team in the NBA.

Orlando Magic vs Denver Nuggets

Magic
Again, we have another scenario where we have injury news to wait on with Birch, Porter, Mo Bamba, and MCW all questionable with Terrence Ross a possible rest candidate.

Wendell Carter Jr. – ($5,800)
Two straight games of 31 or more fantasy points have allowed Carter to score more than 40 fantasy points in both. In those games, Carter has been over a 21% usage rate shooting it more than 12 times. There is a chance of two centers being out with Birch and Bamba tonight as well. The Magic could be even further shorthanded only solidifying the minutes and shot attempts for Carter.

Chuma Okeke – ($5,700)
Since the Magic got the team makeover Okeke has played 30 minutes in four of five games. The fewest fantasy points he has scored in those games is 28.5. Today Orlando could be thin in the frontcourt with Porter, Birch, and Bamba all questionable. If any of those players are out that will just solidify the minutes of Okeke at a reasonable price.

RJ Hampton – ($3,500)
If the same Magic players are out tonight Hampton may be forced to play 30+ minutes again. In that game last night Hampton was second on the team in usage just behind Terrence Ross at 25%. If he sees that again at this price, he should be able to pay it off easily regardless of the matchup. He was able to go for 28 fantasy points last night in a tough matchup with Utah.

Nuggets
The nuggets players are high priced to me especially since they are getting completely healthy and the new trades.

Aaron Gordon – ($6,400)
It seems as if Gordon is fully acclimated with his new squad after playing 39 minutes last game against the Clippers. He scored 40 fantasy points in that game while shooting over 10 shot attempts for the first time with his new squad. It is tough to avoid talking about the revenge narrative here as well since Gordon was just traded not long ago. Another spot to look could be MPJ who has been very consistent over the past 10-15 games.

Bombcarlo’s NBA GPP Picks 4/4

Final Thoughts
I mentioned above that Discord Chat will be important for this slate and I can’t stress that enough. We have several big names questionable that can alter this slate in a hurry.
