Johnny G’s NBA DFS 1-2-16 FanDuel Lineup Advice

Johnny Giovonni Daily Fantasy Lineups, FanDuel NBA

Bringing a solid 50/50 lineup here on January 2nd 2016 for the FanDuel NBA contest, I think Westbrook leads the way with over 60 fantasy points. With normally 250 – 280 placing for most 50/50’s, that will go a long way to getting us in the money! The lower value guys play a ton of minutes so I feel confident we can place in our 100 person contest.

PositionNameTeamSalaryProjections
PGR. WestbrookOkc11000Great DFS play tonight, even at this price, since I think he will post 60 plus fantasy points.
PGI. SmithPhil5800Shooting is up and down, but the fact he plays all the time now and gets shots is all the reason I need to start him.
SGR. HoodUta4900Sneaky play getse 35 - 30 minutes every night of late.
SGE. FournierOrl5600Fournier was blazing it earlier this year and has cooled off of late. Still a decent play and good for most 50/50 contests as a stable play.
SFJ. GreenMem5000Green is at 5700 at DK, so I like him here at 5000. Tons of minutes for this price.
SFT. HarrisOrl6400Harris is streaky at times, but I like him in a tough matchup tonight.
PFD. GreenGS9400Complete beast on the court. One of the best all around guys in the game.
PFF. KaminskyCha4100When he plays he does well. Great rookie year from a guy we did not know what to expect.
CD.JordanLAC780010 points 20 boards in this one for big D.

Hi, my name is Johnny Giovonni. I am in the financial services industry and own my own business on the side. I work too much and golf too little. That is why I helped create this site, so I could at least have the dream of golfing everyday. Also, I am a huge numbers person and have researched many advanced gaming theories and other nerd stuff like the Rule of 72 and Benford's Law. When I am not working I am either golfing, watching sports, or researching statistics for my weekly and daily fantasy picks. I am under full belief there is an enormous advantage to be had with information when picking your lineups every week. I hope to bring that knowledge to this website. I look forward to writing and responding to your comments. Check out some of our course reviews, fantasy sports picks and as always, provide any feedback!

  1. Thanks for the advice all year and the help. I was wondering what is the best type of 50/50 contest to get into the 20 person 100 person or the unlimited entry huge ones and is it better to put in a lot of small bets are just a few big ones

    1. Hi Russell, thanks for reading our stuff! I wouldn’t go unlimited entry unless you’re on a serious roll. That’s shark territory there. We haven’t seen a huge difference in the cash lines between the 20 person and the 100 person 50/50’s and double ups. Small bets in 50/50’s should give you your highest percentage of cashes. I would suggest monitoring your trends and bankroll evenly. If you’re killing it, take a swing with a bigger contest. If you leak a little money on a bad stretch, use several smaller contests to build your bankroll back up. Does that make sense?

    2. Also, I would rather place 5 $1 entries than 1 $5 entry.

      You would be shocked about the variance. I have done that and placed anywhere from 54th – 45th. So it really does matter if you are playing $5 and $10 and up 50/50 contests. The more you play the more I would hedge my bets like I described above. Thanks for reading my friend.

      1. want to say thanks for taking the time out to reply to my question. I tried that with the 5050 tournaments this weekend and had a good weekend! Really appreciate it. This is a great thing you’re doing.
