What’s up guys! Sorry I missed Building Blocks yesterday, but we’re back today with CORE/VALUE/GPP plays. Let’s get into this 4 game slate.

Core Plays

Anthony Davis

AD has been playing like the DPOY and a possible MVP candidate. His price in my opinion is just right, and the matchup is great, Atlanta is awful vs bigs and the defensive stats AD can get tonight are endless. ATL turns the ball over at a decent clip and none of their bigs can stop AD.

Ben Simmons

Ben Simmons will be in 99% of my lineups today with Embiid out and Horford GTD. Perfect matchup vs BKN and his price is not bad. Simmons sees about 1 FPPM with Embiid out and although I expected it to be more, Simmons is in a smash spot today.

 

Value Plays

Philly 76ers

The 76ers will have the value mine for us today, especially if Horford is out. If Horford is in, load up on him, if he’s out, guys like Mike Scott, Kyle O’Quinn and even GPP FLIER Norvell Pelle all get bumps. I like Scott and KOQ even with Horford in since Embiid is out but overall they are in a better spot if both are out.

Jerami Grant

I’m gonna go and guess that Millsap doesn’t play today, but if he does I still love Grant. I doubt Millsap runs over 25 minutes off an injury of that kind, and I like Grant to exceed his value if he gets over 20+ mins. The matchup is really nice cause there is a blowout chance as well so even if Millsap runs, Grant will have a good opportunity to shine.

Tournament Plays

Glenn Robinson 

GRIII seems to directly benefit being next to distributors such as DLO and Draymond. He is a decent catch and shoot guy that uses his athleticism for his occasional cuts and offensive boards. Though it is a pace down situation, SF is very bleak and we need the value. He has proved he can be consistent given the time and he’s been getting around 30 minutes each night.

Elf Payton

He is a strictly a GPP play because of how the Knicks operate as a franchise. They have a wild coaching staff that decides to do whatever they want each given night. He has received the bulk of minutes lately under the new staff but they can decide to bench him whenever and that’s what worries me. Elf has been getting more minutes with this coaching staff, and he’s arguably the best PG for the Knicks. If he receives 20+ again, he’s gonna be in the winning GPP lineups.
