Kelly Oubre Jr. ($6,200)
Both Oubre and Curry are questionable as of writing this. If Oubre plays and Curry sits, I have a lot of GPP interest in Kelly Oubre Jr. With Curry out, Oubre would get a big usage bump and be asked to do a lot in this game. He could smash the $6,200 price tag.
Joel Embiid ($10,700)
No one is going to be able to stop Embiid in this game. He’s going to have a field day against Kevon Looney and Draymond Green defense. Embiid is one of, if not my favorite spend up on the slate. I put him as a GPP play simply because there is some blowout risk in this one. If GS can keep it close and Embiid gets full run, he’s going to smash.
Ja Morant ($7,200)
Morant has not been playing good recently but with Valanciunas out I think you have to have some exposure to him if you’re multi entering GPP’s. He’s shown big upside and gets a big usage bump with JV out.
Jordan Clarkson ($6,400)
With Mitchell out and Conley questionable, I have GPP interest in Jordan Clarkson here. I’d like him a lot more if Conley ends up sitting as well, but I think he’s playable either way. He’s going to get more opportunity with guys out and he loves putting up as many shots as he can. When his shots are hitting he can help you take down a GPP.
Jahill Okafor ($3,000)
This is a risky GPP play, but it’s the type of play that can win you a lot of money when it works out. Isaiah Stewart is going to be very highly owned, and for good reason as he’s in a great spot. We can get contrarian in tournaments by fading Stewart, playing Okafor and hoping Isaiah Stewart gets into foul trouble. He’s racked up 4 and 5 fouls in 2 of his last 3 games so it isn’t a crazy possibility. Just understand that this is a risky play that doesn’t work out most of the time.
