NBA $300K Triple Threat Review: Friday, March 24th
The Grinder review series will provide the reader with a breakdown of the exposures of “top of the leaderboard” players, the top single-entry lineup, and a comparison between all single entry lineups and professionals for large slate DraftKings GPPs. All players have been merged into the positions they are eligible for on FanDuel to give a more accurate and concise view of exposure by position.
This week, we looked at the $300K Triple Threat [$30K to 1st!] on DraftKings with a buy-in of $33 and maximum entry limit of 150 lineups per person.
Multi-Entry Grinders of the Game
BrandonAdams may have only entered 12 lineups and had only 1 share of Devon Booker, he cashed on 11 of his lineups and had seven of them break 300 points. Jrue Holiday had an efficient night after Houston’s porous defense while Giannis Antetokounmpo tallied 34 points and 13 rebounds (22 FGA). The remaining dense core each tallied over 6.2x value and kept him in contention on an overall high scoring night (12 out of the top-15 priced players hit at least 5x).
With the max 150 lineups in a smaller field, SaahilSud spread his exposures out and capped his ownership of any one player at 42%. With his spread out exposures, Saahil didn’t land the astonishing 91.7% like BA, but 54% on 150 lineups on spread exposures is impressive. As he had such a large % of Devon Booker, Jared Dudley, and Jimmy Butler relative to the field, Saahil was able to land three finishes inside the top-25 and topped out in 3rd for $10,000.
WindchimesRrude maye have had only two entries, but he made it count with one of them. He completed the heavy lifting with a barrage of all-stars (Devin Booker with 96.5, James Harden with 80.75, and Giannis with 69.25). Much of his cheap fill-ins made great value as the mid-20 minute guys on both sides of the ball in PHO@BOS game produced. Marcus Smart went only 1-13 from the field, but made all six free throws while dishing out 6 dimes enroute to a 5.4x return.
Single-Entry Winner of the Game
As Andrew12283 avoided the higher priced James Harden and anyone else over $10k, he was able to fit a number of solid mid-level stars in his lineup. Devin Booker had been discussed ad nauseam, but Jimmy Butler put up a 36 points double double ($9200) with Giannis right behind (34 point double double; $9700), and Jeff Teague producing in all facets of the game (41 DK points).
Single-Entry vs. Multi-Entry Grinders
