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.

Yeah, Boozer finally disappointed the other night (and that was with 31 fp's...). You could tell he was a tired puppy and did a lot of standing around. Obviously he'll be rested but Howard's ejection meant short minutes so he'll probably be tough today.Houston has been struggling but they had a rough few games with little rest. I like them to bounce back against Charlotte as well.

Anyone playing late? It seems tough to put together a lineup from those games. I put in one lineup with Jimmy Butler in it. Hopefully I don't find out Deng is playing at 8:30 or so.eta: With Jason Richardson out, I just subbed Dorrell Wright for Butler to be safe.

Speights not expected to play tonight, but he'll probably cut into Zeller and Thompson's minutes going forward. Especially Zeller.

"According to The Los Angeles Times, the Lakers held a "loud" clear-the-air meeting Wednesday that included Kobe Bryant directly asking Dwight Howard if Howard disliked playing with him.According to the report, the meeting started with coach Mike D'Antoni telling the team he was tired of hearing them complain about the offense and ordering them to start playing defense. At one point during the meeting, Bryant then confronted Howard, but the big man reportedly reportedly "didn't go back at Kobe." Add this to the trade rumors, rumblings over D'Antoni's job security and mounting losses and it appears the Lakers' five-ring circus has reached its pinnacle. No one knows where it will go from here, but it's obvious to us something needs to change in L.A."So does bryant shoot 30 times after this or 3 times because he spends all his energy on defense and tries to prove that team comes first?

 

[BassNBrew]

My late 50/50 entry took 272 to cash.The two I entered early in the morning cashed at 248 and 252 (25th position).This has been a consistant trend. The better players are playing just before tip off.

I lost my 2 as well. Close but no cigar. Been doing well on NHL so I'm sticking with that besides lighter NBA nights.

Definitely up so far. Tonight is biggest night played for me so that can change quickly if I get crushed. Still not understanding why they don't have $2 50/50s for Nba. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has requested it. I was surprised to see it for NHL tho.

 

[Bobcat10]

Finding a good amount of info for all sports on the ludogs.com forums. Started checking them out this week. I have noticed most people there like playing sites other than Fanduel. But still lots of info there. Check it out.

 

[BassNBrew]

3 for 3 tonite. Ilysova and Butler were money.Going forward Speights is going to be a bargin. He had 20 pts in under 20 mins. Most of those mins were late. They said he wasn't going to play. Zeller is worthless now.Atlanta is a fantasy mess to pick from. Their numbers are getting propped up by OT games.My best results in these games have been from studding up. Bobcat wins the short nights, I do better on the busy nites. Kobe/Labron/Durant is almost always a winner.eta - Kevin Martin has been a must start.

 

[BassNBrew]

308 pts tonite.

 

[big windy]

My best results in these games have been from studding up. Bobcat wins the short nights, I do better on the busy nites. Kobe/Labron/Durant is almost always a winner.

This seems like a good strategy. Try to find value on the short nights and increase volatility in your scores on the busy nights. I play in 5-player leagues, and I've been trying a strategy where I basically just maximize my value from the Basketball Monster daily projections. I typically win the slow the nights, but get absolutely smoked when there are a lot of studs playing.

Everybody's going over 300 in the all-day games today.

 

[Bobcat10]

Put this lineup together last night, but I'm pretty sure I want to tweak it. I think I need to get off of Noah as I'm missing out on the top PGs and the top SF. Any thoughts?

If Kyrie can't go, I'll probably roll the dice with Shaun Livingston. He's been playing well in limited minutes.

Steph Curry is doubtful so I'm plugging in Jarrett Jack. Even if Kyrie does play, defense ain't his game.

I see where you are coming from, but with the way Kyrie has been playing as of late, I am going to take a gamble and hope a less than 100% Kyrie will still live up to the $9,400 pricetag. I only play the GPPs, so I have multiple entries/LUs, just the LU above is one of my favorites out of my entries for the night.

Curry is out, Barnes is out, Klay says he's gonna launch 40 shots.

Ruled out. Jack is pretty close to must play.ETA: Kyrie is going to play.

17 of my last 22 coming into tonite. Getting smoked tonite. Will go 0-3.Couldn't get into any late 50/50s so I did the head to head. Everyone had Jack and Thompson.Clev needs to fire it's coach. They roll when Spreights is playing yet they limit his minutes. He should be starting.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Clev needs to fire it's coach. They roll when Spreights is playing yet they limit his minutes. He should be starting.

I think it might be long term thinking. There's already talk of Speights being moved again because of contract reasons and they want to develop Zeller.

I'm glad your lineup reminded me about Nick Young with Richardson probably still out.Nobody touching any Boston guards with Rondo out? Sacramento does give up more points than anybody.

 

[Bobcat10]

Now I'm debating Parker/Garnett vs Dragic/Josh Smith. Has anyone on Boston stood out? If they are all cancelling each other out or if it's a crapshoot on the minutes they are not worth much.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Better get all the players involved in that Tor/Mem/Det trade out of your lineups.Thinking about playing Lowry with no Calderon.
