Hoopsguys - FBG ventures into NBA DFS (1 Viewer)

Cash lineup missed cut by 26+(265.8) Should have played Brow over Durant.

Freeroll lineup rocked scoring 362.6. Finished 15/278177 and good for a copy of NBA2K 18 and 100,000 NBA panini dunk coins- whatever those are. Also had it in a qualifier for .25 and won a $7 ticket. Only 12.2 points from the 4 day trip to London.

Nice!  Glad you put it in a gpp too.  I always chuckle to myself when I play the freerolls b/c I usually also put those in a cheap gpp too, just in case - but it's not free at that point.  ;)

It was after 6:30 when I remembered I had 2 entries for the freeroll and the qualifier was the only contest available for less than $5. Wish I hadn't made a 2nd gpp lineup and doubled my winnings. On the downside I don't have a game system so the NBA2K18 will be someone's x-mas gift.

Still need to research the dunk points, no email about them yet.

 
Turns out panini dunk points allow me to buy packs of virtual NBA cards to use in an online game where the only prizes are more dunk points. Oh well, $100 of stuff I can't use is better than nothing I guess :shrug:

 
$2 50/50

westy fox booker hield greek johnson henson RHJ len

$1 gpp

westy jackson booker bogdanovic warren jackson RHJ  harris drummond

good luck to any playing tonight !!

 
I slapped something together while sitting in traffic (don't judge me). I'm currently 490-520th in my 568 man doubles, with similar types of placement in 50/50 and triple. But I have 4 to go (Clarkson, Tobias, Randle, Drummond). My early guys were just a tad (174 vs 177) below pace for 300, which feels like a winning score tonight. Could go either way. 

 
The LUs caught up to and passed the cash lines. (2 2xs, 1 $1 gpp)  $5 in, $10 out.   I have been able to 2x+ my FD bankroll just this last week mostly because of NBA.  I was under $30, now I should be at $81 or so. 

 
Anyone have any insight on the Knicks PG situation? Is Jack still the guy to own or is Ntilikina the guy? Seems like there's a ton of value there if you choose right.

I saw that RG has Jack in their charts as the starter, but also noticed that his salary jumped up by 1K too.

Yeah. Even at $1K more he could return value if he gets the minutes. But Ntilikina is the attraction for me @ only $3700. If he gets some run in a tempo game he could crush it. That game could get lopsided quick. 

 
Nights like tonight are so frustrating for me. If it was a 7:30 eastern start I could have figured out everything. But I had to panic-adjust and just didn't have time. Oh well, we'll see I guess. 

 
OK night again.  Tried the LU in 5x as well that missed by a little, but got the 2xs and gpp.  $7 in, $10 out.  Basically the same in NHL too, so up about $6.50 on the night.  Not sure I am going to bother with the 2 game slate tonight, but I seem to say that a lot, so...

 
I have to switch to DK for NBA, used my last $9 at FD for PGA and NFL. Scoring and roster build are totally different so hope to win some before going broke, lol.

 
Picked wrong between Scott and Smith. Oubre foul trouble + being a weird diva w/ a personality disorder hurt too. Still hit all my 50/50's and about half of my doubles w/ 310. Lost a bit but coulda been much worse. 

 
Tiny slates last night create funny movement in big GPPs. I checked the Dribbler about midway through 4th quarter of late game. I saw my score move from 262 to 264. I jumped 1200 spots. Then I lost 1100 when I guess someone I didn't have scored. Hard to attribute cashing in that environment to skill. 

I played a whopping $5 just to see rosters/scores in a double, 50/50, and GPP. $10.60 out. 297.5.

Still a nice Payday :thumbup:

 
Huge slate. Lots of ways to play it. Phoenix game always looks enticing. Wash-Cle has a massive total as does Bkn-LAL. I think Russell goes bonkers. Also love Embiid to blast Indiana. Really like Wall's spot too. Struggle to spend everything once I build around guys I like. This is $1400 south of the cap, but I don't dislike it:

Mack/Wall -- Elf and DJ out.

Russell/Hood -- Deangelo gonna be motivated. Hood should rebound from last game  

Carroll/Warren -- Don't love Carroll. 

Sabonas/Randall -- Turner is playing but off bench. Gotta think Sabonas keeps most of his minutes the way he's played. 

Embiid -- Should feast for his 28-30 minutes. 

Could turn Mack into Jackson but that's not really much of an upgrade (if at all). 

 
Tonight's a night I kinda wish late switch was a thing.  Usual things were giving me cheap guys that might be GTDs that I didn't want to risk and telling me to play all the cheap Lakers.  Of course tonight is the night I decide to push up the $ entered a little too.   

Oh well - good luck, all!

ETA - I only have 2 guys the same as Tenn.

Ugh.  About the the only time in the last week I haven't had James in the LU and he goes for 90pts at about 60%+ owned.  That will be hard to overcome on the night. 

 
Did 2 3 man pick ems on DK and won both- $4 in $10.80 out . Biggest winning day I've had in weeks.

I've been all-in on Lebron his prior 2 games because I was convinced he was just going to obliterate someone out of frustration. Had only 1 share of him last night for some inexplicable reason. 257 from my base cash lineup on a night like last night is almost statistically impossible. Hey, if you're gonna lose, might as well lose grandly.

GPP only or did this include cash?

Cash - I did 4 50/50s and a couple 2xs.  

LeBron and his 90pts were 80% owned (not by me), and Lopez/Kuzma and their 40 and 55pts were 80% and 70% owned at the end of the night.  Just nuts.  I had 337 was about about 80th of 100 in the 50/50s - you know, just about the exact reflection of the ownership of LeBron. 

ETA:  gpp cash line was a lot "lower" at 338, but I missed those too.  Winning LU in my one gpp was 435pts.

I really lucked out tonight.  Pushed it a bit on a 3 game slate trying to get some overlay and thought I got caught with my pants down.  Long story short, up $42 on the night.  Didn't cash the main slate, but won a big on the 3 game slate thanks to Harden. 

 
Weird night. I didn't have much action since there were so few options on the main slate. Had Lowry but still raked in cash and min-cashed 1 GPP @ 281. 0.105 units in, 0.185 units out. 

 
Just mucked around quick tonight. Don't like 3 game slates. Loaded up on this Brooklyn-Phoenix game. Couple of Warriors too. We'll see I guess. Don't feel good about it. 

 
Dud on DK and break even night on FD - mostly b/c on FD I had a duplicate LU with a ton of people (I assume because of the small slate?), so there was about a 20 place tie right at the cash line. 

 
Like a moth to the flame I'm drawn to the Brooklyn game and its massive o/u. Sitting on this right now:

Brogdon/Dinwiddie

Dipo/Harris

Carroll/Gay

Brow/Acy

Jokic

For those counting, that's 3 from Brooklyn and 2 from Denver. I've got $700 so I've considered Dinwiddie => Murray or Fox but I'm not sure either is really an upgrade.  Could also go Dipo=> Middleton, but I'm not sure there either. Cleveland is horrific on defense right now tho. 

Feedback greatly appreciated. I don't quite feel right about this one.
