Welcome to another edition of Bales’ Top GPP play. In this article, I will outline my favorite NBA GPP play for today’s games. If you want all of my core plays along with our staff’s Final Thoughts article and access to our Discord, click here.
Kendrick Nunn
Nunn’s seen plenty of ups and downs for the Miami Heat this season. He’s averaging 13.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.0 steal (24.8 fantasy points) in 28.5 minutes per game through 46 contests this season. Nunn’s performed better recently, averaging 27.9 fantasy points in 29.3 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He’s posted 30+ fantasy points in 3 of his last 4 games, including a 52.75 fantasy point performance against the Houston Rockets.
Nunn gets an interesting matchup against the Chicago Bulls tonight. They rank 13h in the NBA in pace and 18th in defensive efficiency this season. Chicago’s seen mixed results against opposing point guards throughout the season. Nunn’s usage rating generally sits around 20%, and that’s expected to be the case again tonight. With Goran Dragic, Victor Oladipo, and Tyler Herro all out, Nunn will be locked into big minutes once again. He’ll find 30+ minutes tonight, adding to his ceiling. He’s far too cheap for his recent play, and Nunn makes an elite option tonight.
