Nice job BnB.  What score did you need to cash first?-scores seemed higher than usual last night.

I played 2 $50/50   1cashed at 364.2  and 1 finished 70th with 312.8. Pretty sure these are my highest scoring lineups ever. Thought the 2nd one would cash as I had 283ish with Cousins left but he tanked.

@BassNBrew - Lillard is for sure playing?

Well I have a $150 Jumbo Slam ticket for tonight.  I want to play it a little more like cash than a gpp flyer (targeting finishing in 10%-20% double up range).  Here is my first swing at it.  Would appreciate any opinions.

Pretty sure Lilliard is out

SGs- There are much better options IMHO

I would avoid TJW a all costs, he has simply been way to inconsistent, 30+ one game and them under 10 next, he could sink your entire LU.

Like the base of RJack/George/AD/MHarr but I would look at other options for the remaining slots.  Have to head out to a meeting but will post some opinions when I return

Why are you off harden tonight? Ive been building lineups with Teague/Harden/George/Turner as a base. If I use Crabbe can add Westy to that mix.

If you are asking me I'm not off Harden, I was just trying to get BnB the best LU I could come up with using a core of players from his original post.

I have several GPP LUs with Harden

Holid/Teagu/Hard/Olap/George/TJW (Harkl if no Dillard)/Favors/Kanter/MHarr

Holid/RJack/Hard/KCP/HBarns/Kawi/Favors/Aminu/MHarr

Holdi/DAng/Hard/Hood/PJ Tuck/Bazemr/AD/Favor/MTurn

Small express slate saves the day again. Solo first in a mini rebound. Hit for $150. Same lineup netted a $25 ticket and $10. Might pick up another $4-$8 on the night. Had $66 in play tonite so it will be about $125 out tonite

BassNBrew said:

Do Crabbe and Bazemore have the upside to win a gap?  You would need 130 from Harden/Westy to make up the ground IMO.

I'm fading westy tonight, salary is just too high and the matchup is not great, GPP wise

BassNBrew said:

I'm trying to work AD as a contrarian play.  He has proven Westy/Harden upside.  West just played 2 games in three nights on the road making this 3 games in 4 nights.  has been a problem for him before but we are getting later int he season.

Had some free time yesterday so I put in my 1st $5 lineup of the season (I've played some freebies). I entered a 20 man and wound up winning it with 347.4 for $30 (top 6 got paid). Does anyone know how that score would have done in some of the larger tourneys from yesterday? Thanks.

p.s. Congrats RW. Very nice hit.

Could also pivot off JJRed to Kilpatrick

Been reading through some things, but don't remember exactly - did I see Covington with a Q tag?

may also run a parallel LU of

Can pivot from JJRed to Kilpatrick and from Embiid to Vucevic in both of these LUs

KarmaPolice said:

Newbie question(s):

I had a LU I liked that had Brogdon and either Rivers/Felton at PG.  It looks like C.Paul is playing tonight which I assume kills the other two's value at PG a bit.  So..

1.  Do I assume correctly, or is one of those still an OK option at PG even with Paul playing?

2.  Is there somebody else in that 4700 and under range that is a decent pivot from those guys, or do I look at switching out a few players?

Megla said:

Where are you seeing that Paul is going to play?

Yes, it is a correct assumption that if Paul starts then both lose their value.

Not knowing who will get the minutes game to game makes playing them tough when Paul is out, if you are talking GPP then I would start 2 LUs with each as the #2 PG

Are we talking FD??  If so with Sergio out TJ McConnell is a cheap option as is Ty Lawson

Not sure I would go with 2 sub 5000 PGs, even in a GPP

Back at it after a week off to square the books on 2016, hang with the family, and recharge the batteries. 2016 saw me win quite a bit in daily MLB, win a bit in daily NBA, and break-even in daily NFL. Season-long leagues, however, were most unkind. For noobs, be sure to keep track of season-long league losses to reduce any 1099's you get from daily. Totally legit deduction. I just run all of my fantasy sports through a unique PP acount to keep track easily. 

Tonight, is Barnes playable with the probable return of Gay? Is Reed trustable with Whiteside out? As always, cash perspective. Assuming those are both "yes", this is what I have now:

T. Johnson/Conley

Greek/Kilpatrick

Barnes/Melo

Jabari/Porzingis

Reed

KarmaPolice said:

I just had a window open to rotoworld for news on injuries, etc. 

Yes, on FD.  Will look at those two, thanks.

 I ended up on this LU after looking at dofferent  site suggestions for good value guys, etc and it gave me the option of having both Giannis and Harden so I thought that sounded fun, but would need 2 cheap PGs.

Tennessee_ATO said:

Hrmm. We are quite different in our lineups. With Klay out (likely) do you bump anyone? I'm thinking Durant may be more involved in the scoring, but it's Memphis, but then again Memphis #####-slapped them earlier so payback could be in play. 

Click to expand...

Tennessee_ATO said:

If you need a cheap PG, Lawson is probably a decent punt. The concern there is Paul's probable return, assuming he's at close to 100%. A gimpy Paul might be exploitable tho. I really don't like the other cheap PG choices.

Megla said:

Mine are strictly GPP, not playing any cash unless you consider 100 player leagues cash.

Not sure I bump anyone with Klay out, and it looks like he will now be a GTD, if I'm going to spend at SF it will be with Mello
