Early look at Monday Cash LUs

Wall/Collison/Hard/Kilp/HBarns/Ariza/Booker/Randall/Gortat

Paul/Drag/Hard/Kilp/HBarns/Harkl/Randal/Powll/Jordan

Walker/Ty/Beal/WMath/Gay/Harkl/Powll/Blake/Cousins

if Blake sits

Walker/Teague/Beal/Kilp/Gay/George/Powll/Spreighs/Cousins

Leaning towards Paul/Drag with Deandre and Walker/Ty if Blake plays

Thoughts?

Hmm... We have some divergence between our lineups. I'm assuming Blake plays. If he sits, I'm on Paul and Speights for sure, if not them and Deandre. 

Teague/Johnson -- I don't love Johnson, but I need the salary relief. 

Harden/Gordon

Barnes/Carroll

Jokic/Casspi

Cousins

I like Goran quite a bit, but couldn't make him fit with the other pieces I wanted more. I also kicked the tires on Gay, but was afraid that my affinity for him in general was clouding my thinking.

Both Houst shooting guards?  I know it supposed to be high scoring but both in cash???

I thought the Tor offense went through Lowry/DeRozan, Carroll has reached 2X his salary only twice in the last 2 weeks and one of those was against Phily

Casspi??  You know something I don't?

Jokic, is Chandler sitting?

Just looking at what you have and not knowing how you feel about SF, you can pivot of HBarns and get Drag in with Harkless

LOL, my bad, that's about 2600 over budget

Should be

Paul/Drag/Hard/Kilp/Ariza/Kid-Gil/Markif/Marv/Jordan

Jokic, is Chandler sitting?

? Carroll has gone (when he hasn't missed): 22, 13.5, 21, 18.5, 26.5 the last 2 weeks. He's $4200. I'd ruther have Bog, but I'm currently $100 short  

On Casspi -- nope. He may become Speights in a bit of a gamble. I doubt we'll know about Blake before lock. 

Yeah, I'm not loving both Houston SG, but that game is screaming up-tempo and scoring. 

Finally on Jokic, Chandler was doubtful this morning. Now he's probable. I may still be ok there at his salary.

Aren't the Clips good against forwards?

 

[sooted72]

like literally all the centers today lol...

no love for grIII?  the 5 games he started this year he went for 19, 23, 25, 30, 31 and indiana is bad vs sf.

 

[Megla]

Yea I was doing too many things at once, sorry about that

 

[Megla]

Yea but best I could to get u Drag

You can work 4 in at DK. 

 

[sooted72]

You can work 4 in at DK.

[sooted72]

You thinking Blake plays tonight?

 

[Drafthorse]

You thinking Blake plays tonight?

RG has it listed as upgraded to probable

 

[sooted72]

i love blake tonight in theory but im not sure how you throw him in there given what we know right now

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

WTF? Half the Lakers are GTD?

 

[sooted72]

going boogie over harden.  feels a little dirty.

 

[Megla]

You thinking Blake plays tonight?

Listed as probable rigĥ now and not on the basketball monster out tonight list

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

going boogie over harden.  feels a little dirty.

MikeMan has Boogie as the best C $/pt by far, FWIW. 

 

[sooted72]

hes very likely to play.  the question is whether you are satisfied with 80-85% likely to play this far out with no more news before lock.

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

F it. I've got too much info overloading me now. I'm going w/ what I got. To quote the noted jurist and philanthropist Judge Smails ... "Please, please, please".

 

[sooted72]

PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE DONT GO OFF HARDEN

cp3/beverly

gordon/batum

gr3/barnes

parker/booker

cousins

 

[sooted72]

heres the less balanced harden + boogie cash lineup i liked the most fwiw:

teague/beverly

gordon/harden

gr3/barnes

williams/parker

cousins

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

Good luck, all. 

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

I've said it before:  I hate not being able to see all of the ownership percentages at roster lock. 

 

[sooted72]

gr3 9% owned.  he feels like gerald henderson did to me the other night.  like i must clearly be missing something.

 

[sooted72]

I've said it before:  I hate not being able to see all of the ownership percentages at roster lock. 

yeah not only is it annoying but theres a lot less shenanigans that can take place if all lineups are revealed at lock.  im sure theres some reason they made this change though.

 

[Drafthorse]

Too many different slates each night can drive different plays.  Like playing the Thurs- Mon to get a feel for the Main slate.

 

[sooted72]

i feel like somebody should have told me about demarre carroll.  40% owned and killing it and not even on my radar.

I did. 

 

[sooted72]

heh yeah thats right i do remember that.

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

Eric Gordon has been breathtakingly awful tonight. 

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

My daughter looking at my team:. "I don't like these numbers". 

From the mouths of babes...

 

[sooted72]

how the #### does dallas blow out denver so badly???  doesnt seem like they should be able to crush anybody.

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

Well... I think Denver is capable of being blown out by anyone on any given night. But in fairness to Dallas, since that horrific 8 game losing streak they've been not-awful. 

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

how the #### does dallas blow out denver so badly???  doesnt seem like they should be able to crush anybody.

A more perplexing question is: "How the hell did E. Gordon get below $250/pt tonight after that abysmal first 3 quarters?"

 

[sooted72]

Well... I think Denver is capable of being blown out by anyone on any given night.

good point.  its the resistible force vs the movable object.

 

[BassNBrew]

I'm in the $250k clutch (which didn't fill by 9000 entires).  My lineup is the same as 510 other people.  $50000 first prize will work out to about $150 each if win all win.  That would suck.

We're all in 5th place right now and winning $115.

What really sucks is the guy 0.2 out of 5th sitting in 517th.

Who do you have going?

 

[BassNBrew]

Who do you have going?

Everyone as it's the late slate.  Basically a battle of Casspi, Crawford, Roddick, Young, and some other guys I haven't heard of to see which train chops the pot.

Good luck. Casspi may get some late play in a game that suddenly got out of hand in the 3rd. 

 

[BassNBrew]

Don't know what to root for right now.

 

[BassNBrew]

Been stuck on 11 seconds to go for what seems like 5 min.

 

[sooted72]

294.  missed the cashline by about 10 pts.

just didnt have the right guys tonight.  which is rare as i feel like im usually all over the correct plays.  carroll, jokic (???) and matthews were all 40% or more but not on my radar.

then ofc theres harden.  since i didnt have him it goes without saying it was a close game and made more than 5x.  surprised the game didnt go to ot lol.  though its tough to complain about that since the studs i ended up using, cousins and cp3, both did the same.

 

[BassNBrew]

The last 18 seconds has gone on 20 minutes.

 

[Tennessee_ATO]

The last 18 seconds has gone on 20 minutes.

Finally over. How'd you make out? My lone lineup finished 323. Actually made a little money tonight. Would have been more if I hadn't been panic-cancelling lineups while driving to get my son. I had zippo confidence for some reason.

Carroll has been largely solid for awhile. Ditto Jokic, but you just have to be willing to only get ~20 minutes from him some nights. He's so damn active though. He really needs to be getting more minutes to see if he can maintain that energy for longer.
