Welcome to another edition of Bales’ Top GPP plays. In this article, I will outline my favorite NBA GPP plays 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.
Bigs
Alex Len
Len’s only played in eight games between the Toronto Raptors and Washington Wizards this season. He’s averaging 3.4 points and 2.0 rebounds (8.3 fantasy points) in only 12.0 minutes per game. Len’s struggles came in inconsistent minutes with Toronto, though. He’s played only 1 game for Washington this season, posting 20.25 fantasy points in 21 minutes against the San Antonio Spurs.
Len gets an interesting matchup against the Houston Rockets tonight. They currently rank seventh in the NBA in pace and sixth in defensive rating this season. After struggling to find usage in Toronto, Len posted a 20% usage rating in his first game with Washington. That may be a bit high for his nightly usage, though, and it could drop slightly tonight. Len’s also tentatively expected to play roughly 20 minutes tonight, as he wasn’t truly given any extra run because of the blowout against San Antonio. This is a small three-game slate, and there are limited opportunities to get guys owned at an extremely low rate. Len is near the minimum price, and he is likely to go overlooked with DeMarcus Cousins soaking up the majority of ownership at center once again.
