Mr. Bears NBA plays
Hello Army, we have only 5 games on the slate so I will likely be only playing GPPs. Lets dive in!
PG: The smaller slates that have OKC on them seem to come down to Russell Westbrook. I think Russ should be able to really dominate here and with LMA likely sidelined (he’s questionable) the Spurs will be forced to play a smaller LU. This means a faster pace and more chances for Russ to Russ.
Eric Bledsoe just might be my fave PG here. The matchup is outright delightful. KD is back and will likely matchup with Giannis or Middleton and Draymond could very well end up on Giannis. That will leave Cook, McCaw and/or Nick Young in the backcourt to defend. FEAST.
Dragic is not someone I can avoid going up against the woeful Bulls. The HEAT haven’t clinched yet and still need to win games.
My favorite narrative play is Darren Collison. He played for the Kings and gets to go back to Sac tonight to face the defenseless Kings.
I will be playing Frank Mason in GPP and will throw a dart at Brandon Jennings. It looks like John Wall is now doubtful, but, if he were to play he’s min price on FD and is a lock for me even at 20-25 minutes. DK he’s not playable.
SG: Oladipo is in play for GPP. He will go very under owned with the other studs on the slate and faces the Kings.
Middleton is always on beast mode watch…with KD back he could very well draw that matchup as Khris starts at the SF with Giannis at the 4. This makes me REALLY want to play Jason Terry in GPP. He has been playing around 30 minutes a game and the Bucks are leaning on his experience and leadership to get them through this playoff run.
I don’t mind Buddy Hield, however, the Kings are in full on tank mode and him not playing his usual minutes is very possible. Beware. Same goes for Bogdanovic.
Danny Green has the best aDVP SG matchup on the slate and will play close to 30 minutes. I like him even more without LMA as he will get to shoot more. I may take a GPP flier on Ginobli.
SF: Giannis and KD are on the slate. You know what they can do. I like KD in his return as we know what he’s done without Steph in the LU. He will essentially be the PG and we have him projected for 34 minutes. Get it.
I am teetering between PG13 and Otto Porter. Otto gets the better matchup, but, PG13 is the better player. Both games have the exact same O/U and will be slow paced.
I think the sneaky GPP play here is Lance Stephenson. I don’t think the game stays close and Lance will come in and step on the Kings throats to put it away. If you aren’t comfortable with Lance you can play Bojan Bogdanovic as he should also feast on this defense.
PF: Draymond is back and makes for a great play. He essentially plays the Center position and they do really well vs the Bucks
Blake Griffin could be in line for a major bounce back game here. The Wizards REALLY struggle to defend the PF spot and the Pistons are still in need to win mode.
My fave GPP play is Punch BOB Bobby Portis. Markkanen and Felicio are both not going to suit up and he could end up playing big minutes against Drummond. Yes, please.
Thad Young has the best aDVP matchup at the PF spot on the slate. You know what to do.
Vonleh makes for a phenomenal value play at 4,600 on FD and we have him projected to play over 30 minutes. I don’t even mind stacking Vonleh and Portis.
I will be taking a GPP flier on Anthony Tolliver. He’s been shooting lights out and I like to ride the hot hand. Plus, the Wizards tend to go small and the Pistons will run Griffin and Tolliver together.
C: DRUMMOND! He has absolutely destroyed the Wizards and I look for that to continue here.
Steven Adams is the safest play at the C position and can really have his way against the likes of Davis Bertans and Pau Gasol.
I like the spot for WCS, but, just can’t trust any of the Kings players.
GL ALL!!!!
