Happy Tuesday!
I hope everyone had a great weekend. I ended up bubbling in my main NFL lineup yesterday, which is always the worst feeling. It’s better to finish last than to finish one or two points out of the cash line. Luckily, I had a good weekend in PGA DFS and betting. We hit an outright on Blades Brown at +3000 at the World Wide Technology Championship. I’ve made some adjustments to my model and simulations, and the results have been great thus far.
I love how many people are asking about my house each day. While we’re here to talk about sports, it seems like people love an update on what happens outside of sports. We had a showing on Friday at 7:15 PM. My better half was at a big sales convention for her work, so I was in charge of the three kids and getting the house ready for the showing. I was scrambling to get everything cleaned when I heard a knock on the door at 7:00.
The realtor walked in mid-vacuum and said she had texted that she’d be 15 minutes early, which I obviously didn’t see because I was in a mad rush. She said she’d give me a few minutes, so I was throwing things in closets and trying to vacuum what I could. We have some string lights in our gazebo right outside our back door (we don’t have a fence because the backyard is small and connects to a massive grass park), so I opened the door to plug in the lights. It was so dark that I didn’t notice them standing 10 feet from me until I plugged the lights in. Awkward. Then I ran into them again as I was leaving through the garage. It’s strange not feeling welcome in your own home. Anyway, they loved the house but need a fence.
The quest to sell the house continues. Shall we talk some hoops?
Slate Overview
We have a 5-game main slate on both DraftKings and FanDuel tonight. There are some elite game environments (MIA/UTA in particular) and one potential blowout (MIL/NYK). The real key to the slate is monitoring the injury news. Tyler Herro, Josh Hart, Lauri Markkanen, Keegan Murray, and Domantas Sabonis are all listed as questionable this morning. Make sure to check out the news and injuries tabs in the Core Plays table to stay up to date with the injury news.
From a strategy standpoint, I like the idea of leaving some roster spots open if we don’t have all of the injury news by lineup lock. If Markkanen is out, the Jazz will become the top team to target on the slate, as Keyonte George has already been ruled out. If Sabonis and Murray are out, the Kings would have a ton of value in the frontcourt, while Darius Acuff would become one of the best spends on the slate. Leaving room to take advantage of the late news is a priority for me tonight.
