Yeah, but will it make him less tired? I wonder what that guy's caloric intake was last night and this morning. I think Gordon being out potentially bumps Aminu too, but I'm still not entirely comfortable there either.

Look above for Megla's bagging on Crawford and my post supporting that after it. He's pretty risky for cash w/ CP3 back.

Also, unless there's something going on roster-wise I don't know, I wouldn't think Bjelica is the best play. I know you're having to go uber-cheap at SG, SF, and PF to afford more than half your salary at PG and C. But I have to think there's a safer $3500 option other than Bjelica, assuming I haven't missed news that his role has changed for tonight.

Sorry, I'm just picking the #### out of this. Just ignore me if you want.
From a cash-roster perspective you seem to be overly exposed to Minn frontcourt and LAC backcourt. While I like KAT and Dieng, I'm not sure I would be thrilled w/ both + Bjelica. Now, if you're a Minn fan, then play them -- I'm a huge proponent of enjoying daily and rostering guys on your team is a part of that IMO. But from a pure roster-building concept, you're putting a lot of eggs into 1 basket. Ditto LAC guards. If you want to pair LAC guards, I'd go CP3/JJR. Maybe save some salary off of Westy to get a better option than Bjelica. Dieng/KAT is probably not going to be too bad even if the team tanks.
Plus you have Wiggins -- another guy I like.

I get Knotts' model liking them -- Houston on the 3rd of a 3-in-4 at home w/ Lavine likely out. I could see going heavier on Minn than usual. But SF, PF, PF, and C is a GPP play, not a cash play. Bjelica has hit 18 exactly once in the last month. Maybe tonight's the night, but if it is that means it likely ain't for Dieng or KAT or Wiggins or some combo.

There's a pretty strong feeling here that it depends. Overall they've been better recently but last night was way screwy. They hit my "A" cash lineup almost dead-on. The problem was that it was a really low projection compared to their overall projections. That lineup cashed pretty easily, which they wouldn't have predicted.
I understand why their model is spitting out T-wolves. Houston is playing it's 3rd in 4 nights. Lavine is likely out. Houston is on the road. Houston ain't great against bigs. Houston likes uptempo play. It's just hard for me to see all 4 of those guys scoring well enough unless the game is just a track meet, in which case you might as well roster a bunch of Rockets too. And throw it into a $1 tourney, cause if it hits it could smash.
It's a 4 player league and I have no idea how NBA knowledgeable his opponents are so I'm not sure if I would call it a cash game or a GPP

He said cash-type in his OP.
Where are you seeing Bjelica is starting? I'm not seeing it on RG or RW.

???? indeed. I had a senior moment, flashing back to when Aminu played for Houston never.

FWIW, here's the math on it from Mike:
Minn – LaVine out. He’s missed 1 game this season. Wiggins put up 56 vs. L28 of 31 while Rubio was 34 v 29 in that one. KAT was below norm at 39 while Bjelica had a rare monster 45.

Very witty.
I'm thinking so. He's still just $5200. I just need to figure where to spend the savings.

Some dude named Jordan Mickey starting for Celtics. I'm a Celtics fan and I couldn't pick this guy out of a lineup of 2.

Crawford is going to go off tonight after we bagged on him.
And for planning, I'm not playing anyone in his 1st game back after he's been out for "illness". Whatever bug sweeping through right now is nasty. I'm going to have to bear witness that they're over it before I consider playing them.

went with these tonight
$1 25k dribbler wall smart harden redick ariza Covington love morris olynyk
$1 mini express westy conley beal green wiggins crowder bjelica Anderson KAT
Liked at least 6 PGs tonight-SG is a wasteland tonight after Harden-what should be lots of value at SF/PF- C was all or nothing for me-lol
Also rolling out my 1st ever NHL gpp today. Listened to a hockey DFS show on the radio driving home and it gave me a spark--plus it worked for me in NBA so WTH
good luck all!!!

Bjelica isn't starting. He could still get the 31 minutes Knotts projects for him, but that really seems unlikely. That was a very questionable call on his part, IMO. KAT, Dieng, Bjelica, and Wiggins all starting against Houston? I don't guess it was impossible, but highly improbable. Who would guard Harden? Wiggins? If so, how do they handle Ariza? One of those guys would run free and wild (Harden probably does that anyway, but you get the point).

I'd be killing it if Bjelica would do anything at all. I could be sitting with 8 guys at 40+ and one 0.

TAllen's 3 quick fouls are causing me some problems.
Tennessee_ATO
Footballguy
LOL -- not at you, at me. It's halftime of the late games and I'm still below 240 (223 to be precise). Smart and Allen have proven to be difficult hurdles to overcome. I do have CP3, LBJ, JJR, and Aminu to play their second halves, so my final score may not be embarrassing at least.

When trying to project whether to stay up late and watch to see if your team has a chance, does anyone have a "system" to evaluate your status?

Load up on the late two game slate so your winnings are bouncing between $0 and $300 every 30 seconds as the trains flip flop.

1st lineup got nothing with 278+
2nd lineup got a tie for 15th with 325.1 and won $3.50
So with the NHL game $3 in $3.50 out

Another good night NBA wise
$60 in $119 out
So, whatever players I like tonight stay far away from, LOL
Cash LU went for 307.4 and cashed all $2 50/50s
GPP LU went for 320.4 and cashed $8 and $50 in a $5 100 player league
GPP Lu went for 322.5 and cashed $8 and $25 in a $5 100 player League
Other GPP LUs went for 258.5, 275.2 and 284.3 and were shut out

1 unit in, 0 units out. 285 was just a tad too low for my 50/50s and 8-12 too low for my doubles. Frankly I'm shocked I got that high w/ Smart/TAllen combining for 27 on $9900 in salary. I didn't have any GPP action aside from my obligatory $1 throw w/ my cash lineup.

I've thrown together a cash play for 0.4 credits total action.

Very "meh" about it.
