Daily was built for the NBA IMO. Dabble with it some. Megla and Mikeman are good sources of info and guidance. If you get reasonably OK at it by the time the NFL season winds down you can make some money at it when the NFL guys looking for a fix start playing.

I tried last year and sucked bad.  The last minute inactives and whatnot seemed to kill me. (.. and the fact that I don't watch basketball)  So far MLB has been my most successful. 

 
43 Gpp entries. Played several satellites that were only 50-70% full and were offering one ticket. With a small slate fd could get pummeled with ties. For example they collected $268 for a $444 epic monster ticket. It would be great to see five ties win and they pay out $2200

 
If you loaded up on the late game players and James you should be good. Massive % owned on the early players excluding james

 
was heavy rosier and james. Light Hayward and  horrors. That's the good.   Light smart and heavy love not so good

 
The amount of value (and players in positions they shouldn't) on Fanduel tonight is stupid.  It's basically a pickem after you decide on  your value.

  • Celtics value still there
  • Dennis Smith Jr and Ben Simmons are comically underpriced
  • Lillard is super cheap considering CJM is out
  • Spurs value with Kawhi out
  • DeAngelo Russell is at SG (why??) and cheap for what is sure to be a 25%+ usage
  • Aaron Gordon is pretty cheap
I'm sure there are others I'm missing.

Who's going to soak up Hayward's minutes?

Also, who gets the biggest usage bump in SA? Gay?

 
Smart, Rozier, Tatum, Brown the 4 that would seems to get the biggest boost.   Keep in mind Morris is still out as well.  The Spurs is always a tough case to figure out.   Aldridge?  Murrary? Gay? Gasol?   No real clue there so probably stay away.

I did forget about Jeremy Lamb and Lance Stephenson for value as well.

 
Going with 4 $4 GPP LUs and 1 $10 100 player league

wall/lillard/olap/jbrown/tatem/lamb/ant/simmons/gobrt League LU

Bayless/wall/Stephen/harden/tatem/lamb/chriss/ant/boogie

Bayless/lin/jbrown/booker/lamb/cov/ant/ad/boogie

lillard/bledo/booker/beal/otto/ariza/chriss/simmons/nurkic

good luck

 
thought I was in late swap but no so these are my lineups-was playing with cash lineup when it locked :bag:

$2 50/50 

lillard smith jr  russell  brown  tatum  gay  greek aldridge towns (was trying to get beal in over russell)

$1 gpp 

lillard rubio  booker  brown gay  lamb  greek  aldridge  nurkic

 
Fd asleep at the switch. No gpps available for the middle slates 10 min out. Wasn't going to play tonite and ended up with $53 in play

 
Harden 97 percent owned. Unless you think someone is going two sf will outscore him you couldn't spend the savings

 
Tonite = good

7 gpp entries, 6 cashed. 36 in, 67 out

4 cash entries which in use for overlay place holders. 3 hit. 4 in, 5.40 out

$14 in satellite entries, $37 back in tickets

total $54 in and about $110 out

Should've used my cash lineup for the gpp too, gpp cutline 4 points lower than my 50/50s. Still a winning night $5 in $7.20 out.

I've played 20 unique LUs in $1 and 3 gpps at DK both nights. Gpp cut lines are low this time of year, I think because of the NFL influence on the pool. I'm loading up because I've done best early in the season in season's past AND I am using the multi-entry process to keep my eye on everything fresh. It's a forced education. I have watched every single game so far. I'm down $35 in the gpps, but I play H2Hs too.  While my scores have been mediocre, my h2h opponents have on average been worse so I'm up $180 against unknowns head to head. I probably won't play a 50/50 for weeks, if ever. 

Afaik, which isn't much yet, value plays to build around tonight are Clarkson and Rivers at G. Ingram and Hardaway Jr., SG/SF at DK. No one jumps out much at the other positions, but there's plenty to watch and digest. My base lineup is Rivers, Hardaway Jr., DeRozen, Porzingas, Griffin -- O'Quinn and Grant as flyers. I know DK is different than FD and that keeps me out of this thread a little, but rotating around that group I've arrived at LUs like this: Westbrook, Beverley, Kuzminskas, Carmelo, Ibaka, Clarkson, Gallinari, Lowry. Kinda sexy for a 50/50.

 
As I read more and consider options while tweaking 40 lineups, I find myself pretty committed to Blake and Valuncianus, sticking with Ingram, Clarkson and Rivers from the previous post, backing off Hardaway a little. As a Laker fan hoping Kuzma is the real thing. 

Also, off to Staples in a minute here, so good luck all.

Have fun. Your Lakers should be entertaining this year even if they don't win a bunch of games.

Won my cash games, lost my GPPs but still netted positive. I'm only playing a tiny amount right now tho.

Was near even in GPPs and chose a h2h lu similar to RW's above but for DK so that went well. I'm up 300 in three nights of play and not loving this slate tonight. The players I'd like key on are mostly on the road which is contrary to my typical approach to larger slates. I like shooters at home. Some very high totals tonight so I'm starting by focusing on them. GS@NO, POR@IND and OR@BK all over 220. Games @PHO and @PHI - 217, 218. Filtering those 5 games and I'm starting with something like this:

Darren Collison, Jordan Clarkson, Maurice Harkless, Trevor Booker, Nikola Vucevic, Devin Booker, Robert Covington, DeMarcus Cousins

Without Boogie there's plenty of $ to work with. I feel locked on Vucevic, DBooker and Collison.

I haven't really looked yet. What are your initial thoughts on your Lakers? Lonzo is going to have some tough nights thanks so his dad I think. Can anyone there handle a front-line, physical big man?

My thoughts won't pass the language filter here. LA is weak inside. Lopez is a plodder. Starting Nance and Deng with him makes for a physically inadequate defense (fitting the Lakers recent approach), but Randle and Lopez occupy the same space offensively making sense of the rotation (ya know, for the Lakers). An equal concern is the perimeter D (which is improved by Laker standards but easily the worst in the league). If the Clips were shooters that would have been much more disgusting. Bledsoe is firing at will and DBooker can be spectacular outside so. 

Ball is going to be fine (for a Laker). He plays smart on defense and has some chops there (just not so much on the perimeter where he plays). He won't face Beverley or the like that often. Tonight could be a good one for him. I like his calm, hate his shooting form, wish he shot more, interested going fwd for sure (for a Laker fan anyway).

2nd half last year I just blindly inserted any big, physical rebounder-type that faced the Lakers. I may do that again this year. 

I like Lonzo, both his game and what I've seen of his personality. I think he's just going to have a hit list problem thanks to his dad, not necessarily on the offensive end. But defensively I fear Westbrook (whom is apparently worse than Lonzo per LaVar), Curry, etc. are just going to murder him. 

 
I'm starting with Payton+Vucevic. Hield ,Brown and Crabbe could be good cheap plays. LeBron and Brow in play too.
