Ya...
edit: Actually don't think Millsap is out. I saw a lineup posted with only 4 starters and he wasn't one of them. Probably good news for MSU who had a good weird feeling about Millsap. Maybe Horford will make me thousands on an error...lol

Had to roll the dice on boogie with no final word that he is active. Was happy to see his first points go up.

I didn't say Gortat isn't playing. I bumped him out to get up to Horford. I have Gortat in another of my lineups.

Hey daily fantasy nerds,
Here are some articles detailing the top plays by floor and ceiling stats for FanDuel and Draftkings:
Here are some of my favorite plays:
Chris Paul is my favorite play of the night. His consistency has been amazing and he’s posted 5 straight games of 44+ FP. The Clippers go as CP3 goes and he’ll be heavily relied upon against the Blazers. In his last 4 meetings with Portland, the least amount of FP scored by CP3 was 45. Paul will be the cornerstone of all of my lineups.
Derrick Favors has scored over 31 FP for 6 straight games and gets a soft match up against the Celtics coming up. Both teams are on the back end of a back-to-back which should level the playing field. Boston also plays at a faster pace which means the Jazz will be playing up in pace a bit. It’s generally a good idea to take big men against Boston and I’ll probably have Favors paired with the Stifle Tower in a fair share of my lineups.
Rodney Stuckey has had some impressive performances recently scoring 29+ FP in 4 of his last 5 games. He gets a juicy matchup in the New York Knicks who are fresh off of getting blasted by the Kings. In his last game against the Knicks, Stuckey lit them up to the tune of 31 FP and a repeat performance is reasonable. Stuckey will assert himself off the bench where his playing time should be relatively safe and he makes a great GPP play.

Nervous about the big slate, so will probably do my usual tournament play and then put the bulk of my play into one of the smaller slates.

I've got 24 tickets to the mega slam. Been looking/working at it since 5am. I have two rosters so far. First one is Paul Jordan as will be most of them. Second one uses Aldridge Gay Hayward Whiteside. I like it.

I am thinking Bogut finally gets a rest and also hoping Crawford and/or Barnes is out tonight.

I made the same observation in November. My approach turned to gpps on short slates and cash games on big ones. It hasn't changed but when I want to get some action in the gpps on these bigger slates, I treat them like smaller slates using totals to narrow down my options. The strategy has been better than anything else as far as I fan tell.Megla said:
Tonight is odd. Typically there's three or four obviously high totals. Tonight there are none that really jump out but 8 of the 13 over 200. Competitive games generally offer player production that is both higher and more predictable. Home dogs are generally more competitive than road dogs. Tonight in the totals greater than 200, Orlando and Toronto are the only home dogs. Golden State, San Antonio and OKC are in games with 200+ totals but they are favored to win in noncompetitive games. That leaves Den@Min, Por@LAC and LAL@Mia as the remaining high total games that look to be somewhat competitive. So I've narrowed down 13 games to 5 and I will use them for a very high percentage of players. In some cases 100% stacks from less than all 5. In other cases guys like Hayward, Gay, Boogie, Mo, Shved, etc just fit the budget and complete a LU.
Anyway, I agree with your observations and give a thumbs up to turbo and late night contests too. I'm just burdened with $600 worth of use it or lose it $25 entries on this monster slate. Fwiw, I spent $209 in the satellites over the past week to win the 24 tickets, so even if I tank I should come pretty close to even. On bad nights I seem to lose a little more than half my multi-entry gpp fees, so... we'll see!

In quite a drought myself. Not sure I'm willing to ride it out much going forward since all I'm doing now is draining my NFL money that I can actually do something with. I'm not straying far from all the info I gather here, Mike's site, Rdubs info, and some info I get from RG premium, along with my own thoughts (maybe that's the problem sometimes). I don't feel like I'm putting bad lineups together, but a bunch of nights lately I've never been a factor. I downloaded the .csv file yesterday and I'm now in the red all time on NBA. Maybe I need to try NHL again, never been in the red there.
Nice to see someone having success in seeing the same trend(s). Same held true last night, had 3 LUs that I used the entire pool to create and placed in several $2 and $1 GPPs and a few $1 50/50s and a few $2 large doubleups, go skuned on all of them and none scored better that 250. Did one Latenight LU in 2 GPPs and a $5 LU and got shut out as well but that LU scored 307.2 so I'll just chalk those loses up to an anomaly as 300+ usually cashes.Chaos Commish said:
2 straight nights of 0 returns is disheartening but I feel much better about my NBA knowlege and feel I am putting together solid LUs so I'll soldier on a bit, still up a good bit from winning the Slot a few nights ago even after withdrawing $500.00
I didn't look at the O/U for the night yet, wanted to do my turbo LU without the clutter so your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Westbook/Lin
Harden/KCP
Gallinari/Deng
Boozer/Hickson
Kanter
and as Harden and Westbrook are GTD a quick change LU
Augustine/Lawson
Gordon/KCP
Ariza/Deng
Ibaka/Montiejunas

I'm focused on the big slate and haven't looked at your options in the turbo but, for me tonight, Westbrook is a fade. He broke his face. He's going to play on pain killers. The medical procedure he had is pretty painful for about a week and liquid diets are common. So while he's a go, the game is a likely blowout, and he will probably be used cautiously. Harden would be my must play. The only player on your two lists I really don't like is Hickson. His minutes have been awful and the new coach is riding Faried (i think, it's only been one game). I think the turbo 0/Us are tight enough that they can be ignored, but I would try to fit in Min/Den players. Be prepared to plug Anthony Davis in at the last minute if he goes.

Having the same dilemma between Lou Williams and Stuckey. Lowry is out which means Williams will get 30 min and he did burn the Cavs earlier this year, but Stuckey seems less likely to dud. Leaning towards Lou now...Stuckey or Williams?

This is like four days in a row all my eggs are in one basket. I need to stop pushing my luck. Had to fade Duncan for Wiggins last minute because just had a bad feeling Pop would have him in his night garments by halftime.

Complete loss for me last night. Best lineup was my double up lineup. Scored 281.4. With Obama giving me 9.

FWIW... my lineups last night were basically "unaltered". No tweaking (except that I moved out Duncan for Favors because I never play any Spurs except Kawhi). I threw in 2 "best" lineups (one on average projections, one on weighted average projections), and 1 MIA/TOR stack.

Bah. 6 of 24 LUs cashed for $370. Nothing sniffed big money. Best LU was 350+ for $120. I came out up $160 on the effort. I'll do it again for the next mega and play the satellites harder for more tickets. Apologies to anyone who listened to me re: Westbrook, Oof. That thinking probably cost me $500. Looking through the highest scores is frustrating. Many of them include 6-8 players from the high total games I was talking about. I had high exposure to the right players with. the. exception. of. Russell, and without a really solid combination. 50 entries and I would have probably stumbled onto a top 100 team. But without Westbrook that would have been the best I could have done.
So I'm sticking to my thinking on two game slates. No action for me today. I'm already onto the big Friday slate and I'm going to keep it simple with one or two cash LUs at both sites.

I don't think Westbrook liked what you had to say about him
Funny, one of my stupid tiebreakers is using fellow UCLA alums. My lack of loyalty equals bad karma.

Wow. 5 of my six cashers swapped Harden/Lebron or Aldridge for Brow in the last hour. If not for that, I'd have wasted my time. My lowest score was 232. PPat and Len combined for 5.2 points... lol.Keerock said:Crap... don't feel comfortable with any of my lineups

Fading Westbrook at this point is grounds for a mental eval.

I never have a good feeling about the giant slate or the two-gamer, but I haven't ended up down on either in weeks, soooo...f it. All in. Currently entertaining the idea of going full contrarian and using Lillard.

Of course he's not going to be tops in value at his price. You're always going to have random cheaper guys who have big nights. Much easier for them to own the value column. But he is two players'-worth of meeting and mostly likely exceeding value with one position spot. With low risk.

If he said points per dollar, I'd like to see that list of 15. But since he said overall value, I just disagree strongly. Without Westbrook or Davis (7.2 and 7.4 Xs big prices), you weren't winning anything big in gpps. That makes them, by far, the top two in overall value yesterday. You could roster 9 $4000 players who hit 7.5 times price and fail to cash. That doesn't make them better in overall value. 9 $6000 players at 6 times price is far more valuable. Westy and Brow's low ownership and big prices made them even more valuable than had Lebron and Paul (heavily owned) had the huge nights.

I don't play CCBux... but I cashed in all 3 entries of the $1 Swat yesterday without Westy or Brow. $3, $2.50, $3. I'm rich!!
msudaisy26

I am taking tonight off and I don't see how you can fade him until Durant comes back. Will he burn you once or twice? Maybe. The other games though he is going to carry your team and good luck guessing which game to fade him.
