What's the difference between nfl and nba?
Kinda feel the same way outside of the NFL, I am a college sports fan. Watch a little MLB but stopped watching NBA years ago. So I think my DFS play will remain seasonal.I kind of want to start playing other sports just to keep working on my general DFS skills. But man, I really don't like other pro sports.
It's possible to play NFL DFS and be sane.What are some cash game strategies ?

Yes please.Choas Commish you jumping back in?
Hoops is my first love. DFS NBA happens fast. You don't have days to consider matchups. You have a day, less than 24 hours, and injury news breaks minutes before tip off. It is fun if you love hoops, but I could see it being a hot mess if you don't. Playing cash games is not that much different than NFL understanding that slates run daily. To seriously play gpps, like your 100 lineup approach, it's pretty hard to have a real job. I'm fortunate to be a bum.I kind of want to start playing other sports just to keep working on my general DFS skills. But man, I really don't like other pro sports.
I PM'ed him. He said he's not sure if he'll be firing up the mathbox this year or not.I've been saving up my Fanduel points which will be my "NBA Bankroll". Currently I have about $30 in FD points for entries. I'll probably have another $10 or so by the time the season rolls around. I'm not super keen to jump into the NBA for the first couple games or so. Also really hoping Mike runs his system from last year! Has anyone heard from him?

=((B1)^1.73) * 2000/A1i wish we could get an H-value for the NBA games...
if i knew how to create the forumla in excel or something that can just math it out for me would be perfect...
but i have no clue about any of that.
In Excel, first column is player's name. Second column is their $ value. Third column is their projected points. Fourth column is the aforementioned formula. You can use Ctrl+D to populate an entire column with that same formula.I do that formula but it just does each player one at time...
Yea, Chaos Commish.Going to try NBA DFS this year. Managed to break even after playing a few nights in the preseason. Any good resources that I should know about?
Ha thanks, but remember by the end of January I was ice cold and by the middle of April I was out for the most part. My belief was NBA attracted a bunch of novice/casual NFL overflow through week 17. After that those remaining knew what they were doing so it became much harder to win. Given the massive predatory advertising campaigns this year the beginning of the season should be juicier than ever (if the thinking was right).

I haven't visited RG hoops thread yet. Thanks for the heads up. What I'm doing for a few days now is reading season previews from beat writers. Kind of getting the lay of the new land. Exploiting over unders and guessing game scripts right (and wrong) were key to me getting on a roll and then off it.Man that RG daily thread seems like a bunch of kids arguing with each other.
CC, do you exclusively play FanDuel? What are your thoughts on the softness of other sites vs. FD and DK, if any?
Not sure. The one I saw posted didn't look that good and there were comments that it was crappy. It was supposedly not a small slate also.Are they good lineups, typically?
Thanks, but I was purely a taker last year in terms of mathematical analysis. I finally got on a roll once I stopped deviating from the Mathbox as much.msudaisy26 said:I will say with Mike, CC, karma, Tennessee, Peyton, myself and several others we had a really good thing going in the NBA fanduel thread going last year. I hope we do it again this year. Other than popsecret it was very drama free and I think helpful for everyone.
The NBA daily game is far superior to the NFL. The sport lends itself to statistical analysis. The stat nerds have literally changed how the real game is played in a profound way. Plus there is nothing even remotely like an NBA'er getting dialed-in and absolutely taking over the game. No other team sport allows the type of dominance that the NBA allows for a dominant player who is dialed-in. When Anthony Davis or Lebron or Westbrook or Harden or Boogie or Curry or any number of other players get it going it is simply awesome to watch. Especially if you have him rostered.WhoDat said:Started DFS last year. Football only. Got bored at end of season and started following NBA and playing on Fan Duel. Had not followed the sport in years and what I learned ...
Just tinkered with a cash line-up and ..
- You have to find reliable news sources with the last minute line-up info. 5-6 PM CST ... you have to be able to follow the MANY last many line-up changes
- Minutes matter
- Unlike your football line-up, which can be saved by a single player in garbage time, I found your NBA line-up had to hit on 8/9 or 9/9 players ... every night ... to cash. It is a HARD CORE space with folks that are sharp. My experience was I could not afford to have more than 1 wrong player in cash games
- Minutes matter
- The NBA has a culture of ... pouting ... quitting ... coaches proving a point ... guys not playing with a hang nail ... REALLY present the last few weeks of last year's season. As mentioned, you have to keep up with all the sandbox, eight year old girl BS affiliated with the sport
- If you know little to nothing, enter on the short slate of games. The Wed and Fri nights ... very difficult when new
- As much fun, if not more, than football DFS and I stopped watching NBA years ago due to the whole league culture stuff
- The pros in this space ... really blanking good
- Minutes matter
- Minutes matter

Curry/Robinson
Gordon/Thompson
Mirotic/H Barnes
Brow/E Ilya
Horford
Think you can pivot to Mozgov and use J Butler. Butler becomes really nice play if LeBron sits
Everything I'm hearing is that Bogut will play, so beware. If he doesn't, Festus would appear to be the best value at C for sure.msudaisy26 said:Here are my two lineups as of right now, I am trying to gamble that Bogut will be out
Some people may play Lebron, AD, Curry and Drummond/Horford in DK cash games. If you do that you have to roster $3000 players for rest of lineup. 3 games is tough because if you have one of those top players and they do poorly you could be out of the money.value plays seem fairly obvious tonight. Nate and Mo at PG, Bazemore/JR at SG. feels like you've gotta get Davis into your lineup based on the usage he's going to see. i'm also very bullish on Mirotic this year, so makes sense to capitalize on that before his price goes up.
As long as the game is close expect Draymond to draw Brow and do a good job. The injuries, over under, and potential blow out make this game feel like a trap with hidden impossible to guess value at lower salaries. If the Pelicans make this a game it's going to be because Davis and Jrue do work on both ends. Holiday's minutes restriction is hard for me to buy if he's going toe to toe with Curry and it's a good game. Lots of gpp darts here. I'm likely fading most for cash lineups though. Can't wait to crack a beer and watch it though.Came up with this after reading some articles on the short slate. Fading LBJ is always dangerous, but this goes after every other stud in the short slate: Curry, Davis, Gasol, Drummond (would like to have Buckets but he's not in the salary range):
Curry, Nate
Gordon, Bazemore
Barnes, McDermott
Davis, Gasol
Drummond
The only way to work in Buckets is to switch from Gasol to Speights, and upgrade Bazemore. I don't think I want much of the GS front court split between Speights, Bogut, and Festus splitting minutes going against Brow.
Portis probably deserving of some run too. Agree, it's real murky.I have some concerns with the Bulls front court rotation. Pau hasn't played defense in years. I'm not sure Mirotic ever has. It seems to me that the more natural playing partner for Mirotic would be Noah. I know that right now the Bulls are at least saying they're starting Pau and Mirotic, but I can see that rotation being in a state of flux for several weeks as they try to balance good offense/incompetent defense with good defense/incompetent offense players.
