NBA GPP Cheat Sheet
Prices listed are Fanduel unless otherwise noted.
My NBA articles will mostly focus on Fanduel lineup construction since besides center, you need to play two at each position. The players recommended are usually still good plays on DraftKings unless the pricing is drastically different. Also, many players on DraftKings have dual position eligibility or may be listed at a different position. I will try to mention if there is a specific good play on DK based on price or position eligibility. These are my favorite plays at each position and maybe a value play or two. The players listed are in no particular order, as I am giving choices to help build your lineups.
Big ten game slate tonight, value already presenting itself. Keep an eye on the news as it could create more value. Could go Stars and Scrubs or could go balanced. I would get at least one stud in your lineup. Will update my article if things change.
Point Guard
Westbrook – $10200 – favorite overall
Jerian Grant $4900 – favorite value
Ricky Rubio – $7100 – I would pair him with Rudy Gobert
Darren Collison – $6000 – this guy, great game, bad game. Which one tonight?
Kemba Walker – $7400 – like the price and the matchup versus the Knicks
Kyle Lowry – $7500 – should bounce back after being ejected last game
Shooting Guard
D’Angelo Russell – $7300 – price dropped $700, why? I don’t know
Will Barton – $5700 – He’s the Denver SG I am choosing tonight
Victor Oladipo – $7300
Khris Middleton – $7500 – looks like I am paying up for SG if I can
Tyreke Evans – $6200
Tim Hardaway Jr. – $6000 – picked up his play over the last four games
Small Forward
Lebron James – $11300 – favorite high priced, but don’t mind The Freak at 11700
Robert Covington – $6500 – usage goes up with no Embid
Allen Crabbe – $4300 – risky, but usage should go up with no RHJ
