• Khris Middleton
Middleton is a guy I like a lot with Jrue Holiday listed as doubtful for this game. Middleton sees about a 8% usage bump with Holiday off the floor. This game should stay close meaning Middleton sees about 35 minutes of play. He’s a guy who can get really hot and show a lot of upside so I do like him in this spot vs the Pacers if Holiday is out.
• Cam Reddish
Reddish is an interesting GPP play on this slate for me. He’s been a good point-per-minute so far this season, putting up 27.25 DK points in 21 minutes and 28.9 DK points in 28 minutes. He’s shooting about 15 shots per game off the bench and if he shoots well he has nice upside at this price. I also don’t worry too much about him in blowouts because I think he still gets 4th quarter run in the case of a blowout.
• Fred VanVleet
I’m committed to FVV. He hasn’t been great to start the season but I know the type of upside this guy has, especially with Kyle Lowry gone now. He has a massive usage in this offense and it’s only a matter of time until he goes for 50+ DraftKings points. I’m playing FVV in tournaments until he pays off, and I know he will eventually.
• Jusuf Nurkic
This is a game where I think Nurkic can crush if he just stays out of foul trouble. It’s expected to be a high scoring, close game. I don’t think Zubac can stop Nurkic at all, it’s just a matter if he can stay out of foul trouble or not. I like Nurkic a lot for GPP’s.
