What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?

Notorious: I prefer small-field tournaments. My plan of attack on this slate is to be overweight on the Suns and the Nets. The Suns are missing their most productive DFS player in Devin Booker, while the Nets are without half of their usual rotation.

tcsmith031: I like large-field, multi-entry tournaments for this slate. The Warriors will be a solid source of value with Stephen Curry missing from the lineup, but the Clippers on the other side of the game aren’t projected to be very popular. I’ll be sure to get exposure to at least 1 player from the Clippers in lineups that include at least 2 Warriors.

TJ Zwarych: I’ll run 150 lineups, so large-field GPPs are my favorite. It’s an 8-game slate, but I’m going to try to cut it down, crossing out multiple games from my player pool. I won’t have any exposure to NYK/ORL or MIN/HOU whatsoever so that I can get more exposure to the top options, like MEM/NOP, CLE/DEN, DAL/PHX, and the Warriors.
