Johnny G’s NBA DFS 1-1-16 DraftKings Lineup Advice

Happy New Year 3 Jack readers.  As the calendar flips to 2016, the NBA has 5 games on the schedule.  Check out DraftKings NBA lineup below.  We’ll be looking to start the DFS year off right. 

Last night had a dose of feast or famine from the value players.  If you plugged in T.J. Warren, you were rewarded handsomely with over 50 FPP on a $4000 salary.  Three of our targeted value players failed to hit the 20 point mark.  Drummond and Green provided the heavy lifting with 105 points combined.  Anything at all out of our punts and we easily clear the 260 point cash line.  Oh well, more motivation to provide some fresh research for tonight.

GJohn WallOrl @ Wsh9700Wall is in a groove lately. Scoring over his season avg FPP each of the last 5 games.

UTILRamon SessionsOrl @ Wsh4100Sessions has benefited from Beal's absence. Averaging 24 FPP over the last 5 and that works here.
