DFS tournament expert Brian Healy gives his ranked plays for NBA GPPs on tonight’s four-game slate!!
What’s going on Mafia? A very nice four game slate tonight and the sites have some nice contests in the lobbies, so let’s get right into it.

DK Core: Curry, Noel, Cousins
Slate Notes:
- Top Game Stack:
- Nets @ Warriors
- Key News to watch for:
- Knicks: Will be without Mitchell Robinson. Assumption is Noel gets the call to start at center after starting the 2h last night. If he starts, load him up. If he isn’t starting, I’d go elsewhere. If Taj Gibson starts, he would be a viable punt.
- Rockets: Oladipo is out which will lead to Wall and Gordon seeing boosts in usage/min. I’d avoid pairing them in gpp and prefer Wall of the two. PJ Tucker is also questionable which is leading me to a lot of interest in Jae’Sean Tate and DeMarcus Cousins.
- Potential Slate Edge:
- James Harden
General Thoughts/Strategy:
- Chalk: Unlike other sports, chalk in NBA is not always a bad thing, even in GPP’s. I’m much more willing to play a 40% owned James Harden than I am any baseball player at that ownership. NBA is far more predictable, especially those with established roles as we progress through the season.
