NBA Bird Review: Wednesday, March 2nd
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 Wednesday slate GPPs.
This week we looked at the $350k Wednesday Bird [$50k to 1st!] on DraftKings with a buy-in of $33.
Multi-Entry Grinders of the Game
With plenty of chalk to go around on this slate, both featured players focused some of their highest exposures around D’Angelo Russell, Will Barton, Zach LaVine, Jerami Grant, Bobby Portis, and Dwight Howard while diversifying elsewhere.
bcalicore stacked teammates in Patrick Beverley, James Harden and Robert Covington, Jerami Grant to go along with some individual values plays and GPP-friendly Kemba Walker to take down a three-way tie for 46th.
Although scout326 went heavier on the chalk than bcalicore, his 30th place finish consisted of only three players owned over 10% who he had targeted at the second level of his exposures: Jerryd Bayless (34%), James Harden (26%), Jared Sullinger (19%), and Ricky Rubio (24%).
Single-Entry Winner of the Game
As the highest finish single-entry player on the board in third place, Tmac10th14 blended the hot value plays together (Bobby Portis, D’Angelo Russell) with the correct high game total/relatively low owned plays in Emmanuel Mudiay, Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Patrick Beverley.
Single-Entry vs. bcalicore/scout326
