Another night of games this Wednesday and we are going for a huge GPP tournament win with this lineup. Boom or bust all the way baby! I was able to get Harden, Davis, Knight & Lowry all into the lineup. Yes, at what expense, I know, but I even got Covington in there as well. With that being said, there are multiple guys that are starting only because there is an injury. Not sure how many minutes Zeller will get, but hey, that is why we are taking the chance on him. Mayo has been playing lots of minutes so the risk is minimal there. This lineup could go for over 350 fantasy points. Or 200… Good luck everyone.
Position | Name | Team | Salary | Projections |
---|---|---|---|---|
PG | B. Knight | Pho | 7900 | Knight has been beasting of late and I see no reason why it would stop now. |
PG | K. Lowry | Tor | 8500 | He is the heart and soul of a surprisingly very good Raptors team. |
SG | OJ Mayo | Mil | 3800 | He gets over 35 minutes and is only 3800! Book it. |
SG | J. Harden | Hou | 10800 | One of the best if not the best NBA DFS player in the game today. |
SF | R. Covington | Phil | 6400 | Becoming a very good player and they got their first win! He makes them much better. |
SF | T. Sefolosh | ATL | 4200 | Another bargain player, Sef has been getting a good amount of stat stuffer type games with 9 points 8 boards 6 assists kind of lines. |
PF | C. Zeller | Cha | 3600 | Al Jefferson is hurt. Book Zeller now. Risky play but huge upside. |
PF | A. Davis | NO | 10800 | Another stud. Only playing these low value guys allowed me to get all these NBA stars in my lineup. |
C | B. Biyombo | Tor | 3900 | Injured C gives Biyombo a few week run as the starter. |
Total | 59900 |
Johnny,
Being new at this and all, I have been mainly playing the different tournament games. Do you prefer tournament or 50/50 games to go along with your line-ups given? I know nothing is a for sure thing but I was just wondering where you may be hitting the most $$$$.
Looking forward to seeing what this line-up does for us tonight.
Thanks again.
I generally prefer to 50/50 contests, but for tonight’s I saw some value for some lower level guys, so I went with a tournament lineup but I am in 49/100 place right now in the contest. The low level guys did not do much at all.
Basically my strategy is to play a 5 low level 50/50 for say 1 unit (whatever amount you bet). Then I will play 1 tournament for 5 units. That way, I can win the 50/50 and pay for the tournament and hopefully hit a few tournaments. It is frustrating at times, but I figure if I can hit 60 – 65% on the 50/50 and an occasional tournament play I can at least break even, have fun and the chance is there to win big. Just like the lottery, but I feel I have at least some skill involved.
I golf alot in the summer so I just use that money to play NBA in the winter. I always tell people if they expect to win big it will not happen, they will get mad at their family and themselves and so on. I tell them to spend 5 – 10 bucks a night like they were renting a movie or something. I have friends that bet a few hundred at a time, but I do not have the bankroll for that stuff. And the true PRO players will wager thousands a day and have huge swings.
That sounds like a plan to me. I did the same thing the last couple of nights a broke about even except for a couple of tournament plays. Either way it’s fun and I appreciate the help. I wish I would’ve used my late night tournament team last night for the whole night of games. It was a beast team and looking back it would’ve placed in every one. Good luck on things tonight and looking forward to seeing what happens. Good times.
