Reeling again after the perfect night on Tues.

Probably do some tailing tonight, I like the thought process of these lineups (maybe besides the homerism :thumbup: ).

My 50k won't fill and I like this lineup...so I played it in a 20 man. Real close to getting Pekovic and Monta, both of whom I like tonight, but Mayo and Asik should do.

60kWe'll see how this team goes. Try and go through my thought process.1) Usually build my team by picking a C first. Gasol with a premier match up @7500k 2) Filled with "Bargin Buys": Calderon and Beal are getting starter minutes. Ersan has been heating up and is facing a Cavs team that is poor against defending big man 3s.3) Now the meat and potatoes. - Monta at 7400 is lock for me vs CLE over Kobe (2nd of B2B and almost 2k+ for a 9 ppg) and I like Klay at 5900 (homer pick over Jordan Crawford). That leaves PG/SF/PF... at first tried to get something around Westbrook with Milsap, but the options at SF are terrible. So reluctantly took out Westbrook and subbed Durant. Then decided between..Brandon Jennings + Z-Bo + AffaloorStephen Curry + Milsap + KlayWent with the homer pick and also the 2nd trio are more explosive scorers which is what I use for tie breakers.

60k Team for SaturdayLiking this team, just wanted to see what type of team you could build around LBJ and Melo. 1) Picked a C first and I like Bosh the best. A lot of the good front courts are battling it out.2) Picked LBJ and Melo to man the SF position.3) Again like Monta as a low cost stud, followed by bargain players: Nate Robinson, CJ Miles, and Ersan, and then Jameer and Big Baby split he rest.

They're talking about resting Anthony.Here's what I gotKnightIrvingMilesEllisGeorgeJR Smith - Assuming Melo is outLeeLoveVucevicNot really in love with this lineup. Love has been disappointing lately.Wallace might be a good play tonite at center.
 
I guess we all did pretty good last night. Cashed all 60k's but lost that 50k that I really liked. Not sure how much of a difference the 20 man pool makes.

Hey 16, make sure you figure out your backup plan if Anthony is ruled out, which I think he will be vs Cle.

I won three of four -- three and five teamers -- with a lot of luck. I had two lineups. 50k scored 220 winning both entries, once by a point and once by two points. In both cases 2nd place had a good player in the late game while I was done. Nailbiters. 60k scored 256, winning one and losing one.I jump in a freebie to mix and match players until I like a lineup, then I import it to $ games. Yesterday I tweaked the imported 60k team. My freebie scored 277. Oof.Did these before sleeping last night:50kPG Louis WilliamsGS@ATL$5,400PG Brandon KnightIND@DET$5,800SG C.J.

Looks like easy cashin' tonight. Really riding GS lately, especially Lee. His price is getting really high though.

Curry, Kemba

Miles, Belinelli

Korver, James

Lee, GDavis

Pekovic

 
What's a good score in this? I tried to do it for the first time tonight but the 50/50 game I entered didn't fill and I didn't realize in time to get in another game. I still want to see if my lineup was any good or not by adding it up myself.

50/50s you usually want to hit around 270 I think. But depending on the night it could be higher or lower cut lines.

250 will cash tonite.
 
Late Memphis flurry get me to a 3 and 3 split. One winner had Love in the lineup. 5 unique lineups in the 235 to 250 range.

Same here. The amazing thing is just how consistent he's been. He helped me eek out a 4pt victory tonight despite using all that money on Love(oof!). Essentially had a 50k lineup vs a 60k lineup.

Didn't see anything about his injury. Someone farts on a football field and you hear about it.

2 for 3 on the 50/50s. Several others didn't fill. Down the drain on a 100 person tourney. A wash except the juice. I knew better than to do the tourney as I'm usually finishing 20-25th in the 50/50s and never pop a big night.

 
Quick lineup off the top of my head. Looking for some tips and tweaks tomorrow....

I found this interesting...

"Love's illness came out of nowhere this weekend and some Wolves media insinuated that there might be more to the story, but it sounds like he was just sick."

Are they listening to trade offers and maybe something was close to getting done? Maybe a behind-closed-doors 1 game suspension based on being outspoken last week? There have been a lot of rumors he isn't happy in MIN.

 
Came up with this for the 2k dribbler; probably not changing it.

Last I read Manu was "doubtful" which almost prompted me to go with Neal. Rubio had great production on a per/minute basis but I'm a little spooked until I know he's going to be getting closer to 30min/g. Do you think his playing time spikes or are you just confident in his production/min?

Thank you. Guess I better look into both. I've been lucky with Manu a couple times, and Ricky is just so dreamy, I've been waiting to play with him. Truthfully those two just made the budget work. It's not a deep night.

I'm thinking maybeJ.Nelson/N.Pekovicis better thanT.Parker/D.JordanThoughts?
What I'd really like is Parker/Pekovic.Maybe I'm approaching it wrong. Any SA homers think that Nando De Colo is a sneaky good play with all the injuries in SA? He played 20min his last game and with Ginobili, Leonard, Jackson all out? I know sometimes Pop goes big playing Diaw at the SF slot but is he quick enough to guard Durant on the perimeter? Maybe in this matchup Neal/Green/DeColo get all the minutes at SG/SF? Grasping at straws?
 
Going with this lineup in the $5 double up:

Russell Westbrook OKC v SA (Pre-game)

Mike Conley MEM v CHI (Pre-game)

J.J. Redick ORL v MIN (In progress)

You know you're getting old when you sit down to enter a few contests and wake up after the games have started. :lol:

I got this in one $1 contest... otherwise :sleep:

That team above scored 245 for top 160 out 2200 and was better than a 50/50 paying 3.59. Could have made some bank the last two nights, but not getting enough money in the game.

Hah. Soon as I read yours I thought, "ooh, that's even better." You're probably right about Marion, one of my favorite old dogs, btw. I have this habit/belief/secret though. I like the sweet 3 ball shooters on their homecourts. All outside scorers in general actually. It's more an observation from playing and coaching than analyzing NBA stats, though I have noticed it working a little since starting this fanduel thing. On my roster above, Gallo, JJ and Nate all represent this influence on my lineup. Just something I probably consider more than I should.
 
If Jrue Holiday cannot go tonight, Nick Young presents very good value at $3500. I am tinkering around with a few lineups to get him in there, as I have been reading that even though Jrue is a GTD, signs are pointing to him sittting out tonight.

 
Loving this lineup for tonight in the $5 double up:

PG Jose Calderon TOR @ CLE (Pre-game)

PG Kyrie Irving CLE v TOR (Pre-game)

SG Nick Young PHI @ DAL (Pre-game)

SG DeMar DeRozan TOR @ CLE (Pre-game)

SF LeBron James MIA v MIN (Pre-game)

SF Evan Turner PHI @ DAL (Pre-game)

PF Kevin Love MIN @ MIA (Pre-game)

PF Ed Davis TOR @ CLE (Pre-game)

C Al Horford ATL @ WAS (Pre-game)

I have a few other lineups similar to this, with a few positional switches for the GPPs but still tinkering.
