Copeland starting for Melo worth playing?

Seems like a big gamble to me unless you are playing in a 50k since there is only one "premium" player that costs over 9k. If it was a night when LBJ/Durant/bryant/Harden were all playing I would be much more tempted to use him.

There are not many nights where I don't play at least 1 guy around 4k. It's probably just as tough to get what you want on light nights just because there are so many gaps in salary versus playing 3 guys over 9500.

lolDei Lynam tweets "Should the Sixers take a look at Gred Oden"?We haven't had a twin towers like that in quite awhile. Why stop at Bynum/Oden? I'm sure they could cajole Bowie and Walton out of retirement for a quad-towers. Fragile foursome rolls off the tongue better.

The success of my lineups tonight directly correlated to the number of Paul George's they contained.

Me too. I took 25th in the $2500 "dribbler" despite having Marcus Thornton in my lineup. bag

I managed to shut down LBJ for the most part much like I did Kobe last night.Split for the night with no George thanks to Bosh.The trend held up again...league entered last night was 5 points softer than a last two hour league. Been seeing this consistantly between 5-10 pts.

 

[urbanhack]

I'm cashing again regularly on $50K leagues instead of the $60K ones. They aren't as much fun because there's not as many marquee players, but for me, this is where the money is.

I remember talking about this early in the thread. I thought I was seeing a trend as well. What do you exactly think is happening? The high volume players (condia, etc) will be in just about all the leagues, and I'm guessing they place hold spots and then do massive importing closer to the deadline. What are the randoms doing? Setting a lineup and forgetting about it, maybe catching an inactive or just not doing any research?I need to try anything at this point...I've sucked since coming back from my little vacation.

If you are playing the late games, which have some very interesting matchups, Kyrie is playing. He was throwing up earlier today, so buyer beware. Would have been nice to get a late Livingston play.Right now here is what I have.

paul george is out tonight w/ flu

 

[Prince Myshkin]

paul george is out tonight w/ flu

whew...had him in my lineup until the last minute. switched to harden (and afflalo )

 

[Bobcat10]

Glad somebody posted about George. I was out at dinner and decided to check twitter at 6:30. Switched my only 2 lineups, had George in one, and got in another league that filled last second. Didn't have time to login here. Spot checking I see George in way more lineups than not. Late game contests tonight are likely goldmines...and this is a great reason why to enter early/night before. Stephenson turned into a great buy on my teams, and I also played West in all, and Hibbert and Hill in one each.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

I know some idiot that played 3 early games and had George in all of them.

 

[Bobcat10]

Ya that sucks. Those early matchups will have some madness too. It was just really tempting to pick LBJ and George today, especially with the way George has been playing. I thought there were more early games...looks like only 1? I stay away from Sat/Sun all day affairs.

NHL schedule out. Can't wait to switch from betting on sterns mess to the NHL even in an abbreviated season. I'm not sure if this gets switched to a generic Fanduel thread, or we have a separate thread for each sport.

I've had a change of heart on Cousins. He actually looks like he cares since the suspension. Boozer has been money of late so I'll probably keep riding him.This is what I've gotten so far. Might change to try to get more production out of SG's. Minutes are from basketball monster's projections. I hate to leave out LBJ, but Paul Pierce playing Charlotte might make him worth the savings.

I'd say seperate I think. I will be doing both, hopefully more hockey in the long run. NHL treated me well elsewhere but Fanduel can be a different beast at times.

CP3 is out tonight...Eric Bledsoe gets the start.And Rudy Gay is out tonight attending his grandmother's funeral.

CP3 is out tonight...Eric Bledsoe gets the start.And Rudy Gay is out tonight attending his grandmother's funeral.

Hoping getting in contests last night means some folks will still have Paul in their lineups. Put Bledsoe@3500 in some of mine. Who benefits from Gay being out?

I would think Wayne Ellington would start, but I'm going with Tony Allen in my lineup in hopes he gets more shots.

I dropped Boozer so I could afford Kyrie Irving and both LBJ and Durant. Someone pointed out earlier that Tristan Thompson has been solid for that price and I'm kind of shooting craps that Sullinger will be used more with heavily favored Boston at home and that Foye will continue to get the minutes he's been getting.eta: Careful with Foye, Williams and Tinsley are "probably" tonight...

 

[BoltBacker]

I like Bledsoe and am warming to the idea of Conley given the injuries on both sides of the ball. Some are reporting Booker out, while others reporting Booker may not play. I think I may end up rolling the die on Seraphin tonight.Oh, and I like Shannon Brown tonight. A lot of cheap options out there.

I wish I had followed your lead here instead of rolling with Devin Harris (0). It's just painful to see a lineup with LBJ, Durant and Cousins being held down by my SG choices of Affalo (9) and Harris.

It's hard to fault you there. I had him in several of my early lineups but thankfully ended up swapping him out by game time. He had been very scoring very well and consistent coming into the game.

 

[Chazzhawk]

Who do you like tonight? (Just found this thread) I like Bledsoe because Paul is likely to sit again, Amir Johnson is likely to play so I like him, and anyone in the Lakers, Bucks game.

Couple of vegas lines show him as doubtful. Saw this a few minutes ago... "Chris Paul's bruised kneecap "felt better this morning," league source says, but he's still uncertain for Clippers game vs. Rockets tonight." Gonna keep monitoring that situation but here's what I've got so far...

Anyone else staying away from Lakers/Bulls? The only Bull I feel good about starting ever is Boozer (and not today v. Howard). The Bulls get involved in a bunch of low scoring games (currently 25th in the league).Loading up on Houston today. 2nd in the league in pts scored, Charlotte is 2nd in pts allowed.
