My NBA lineup for the night in a $3 double up... Ish Smith DeMar DeRozan Paul George Ryan Anderson Jahlil Okafor Cory Joseph Zach Randolph Rajon Rondo
What's a good benchmark for total points for NBA, 275 and above? Currently ran 3 lineups and have one at 250
I used that NBA lineup in two entries…scored me 296.75. Profit of $8.20 for the night. I started looking over some NFL stuff for the weekend and I think I can put together a competitive team, specially in cash games. Moe, I'll keep an eye out on your blog and we'll discuss as we approach the weekend.
My lineup today was Damian Lillard Evan Turner Paul George Ryan Anderson Demarcus Cousins Ish Smith Jerami Grant Corey Joseph Ended up with 304 points and placed 1501/22,900 in a $20 gpp for $50. On to football now
My initial thoughts on Week 10…stacking Bortles and Robinson. James Starks starting for the Packers now…at $4900 might be too tempting to pass up. ASJ needs to sack up and play because at $2800, that has potential. Cowboys give up more points to RBs than any other team, so Doug Martin could have a big bounce back game.
Yeah, I've already posted my QB thoughts and I'm high on Bortles this week and think the Bortles/Robinson stack is as good as anything out there considering the price tag is so affordable. In cash I think I like Aaron Rodgers a lot this week. High ceiling and floor. I think he could easily put up 5 TDs against Detroit. Brady is also going to put up numbers, especially with the loss of Dion Lewis meaning he's going to have to stretch the field a little bit more. I don't think I'd go Brady over Rodgers this week though with ARod somehow still $1100 cheaper. More thoughts on QBs: http://www.dailyfantasydork.com/2015/11/12/week-10-nfl-disecting-the-qbs/
Well I'm at 230 already tonight thanks to Curry and Favors. With Crawford and Griffin still left I'm feeling pretty confident. I seem to do better on small slates for some reason.
Did we have the same lineup? I'm at 230.5 Curry Crawford Winslow Griffin Whiteside Tyler Johnson Favors Lavine I hear you on the short slates. Even on a super ugly slate like today, the limited options makes it easier to focus on your core guys. With more options, it's tough to narrow it down and hit on the right guys consistently.
I assume your thought process was nearly identical to mine. Play the cheap guys in the closer game, but ride Curry because he's almost impossible to fade. Lavine, Johnson, Winslow, Crawford because of late injuries. Whiteside because he was basically the only good C on the slate. Favors because Gobert was out.
Yep exactly. It's crazy how in NBA, your lineups are rarely, if ever, set until 5 or 10 minutes before lineups lock.
Yeah the mad scramble before the lock makes it both thrilling and infuriating. I don't do CFB but I do freerolls every once in a while just for fun. I'm not as College focused as I am NFL. Can't imagine what its like with 100 QBs and like 400 WRs to choose from.
Started draftkings. Just getting the feel for it. Had Cp3 yday but turns out he didn't play. I usually don't have the luxury of logging in after 4PM Houston time since I Leave work and hit the gym so that I can make it home around 7PM by which time games start. So I make my teams well in advance and have to live with the results. $5 loss each of the past few days. Any tips?
NBA is pretty much impossible to win if you're not paying attention to last minute lineup changes. Winning depends entirely on getting low-cost, high-opportunity players mixed with high-cost, high-floor, high-ceiling players. I ended up hitting in my Double Up last night, but had to sweat it because of Griffin having a terrible night. Crawford picked up enough of the slack to put me just over the rake.
I cashed in all of my 50/50s and double ups but barely missed out in a tourney because of that ejection Thoughts on tonight? I'm locking in Westbrook and probably Rondo too if he plays 40+ minutes again (Gay is also doubtful apparently). Beyond that, it's tough. I like Dwight's price, and that's probably who I'll end up with at Center. Injuries will probably determine other positions. Favors if Gobert is out again, Frye as a punt since he's starting, maybe Casspi with Gay out.
For tonight's slate, I went with Westbrook…his price is very high, but in cash games, can't risk leaving him off the roster. $3 Double Up Cory Joseph Dion Waiters Jerami Grant Ryan Anderson Dwight Howard Russell WestGod Paul Millsap Nemanja Bjelica
If you want to do NBA, you definitely need to keep up with the roster throughout the day. I usually set my lineup the night before or in the morning…then tinker with it throughout the day as I find out more info. Like my lunch break and little moments I get here and there.
My team got rocked tonight. Of course, when I pick Millsap, he has his worst game of the year, by far. My attraction to him was the fact that he's a consistent 40 pts every night. Then, Ryan Anderson has his worst game of the year as well. Bjelica had his 2nd worst game of the year by 0.5 its…so he almost achieved his season low too. -$3
