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. We have two teams on the schedule who are shorthanded, playing at home, and have team totals that are well above their season averages. Those two teams are the Raptors and Clippers. My plan of attack is to be overweight on both of these teams.

headChopper: I’m playing a single lineup, focusing on single-entry and 3-entry-max contests. With Nikola Jokic as the only elite player on the slate, I’ll ensure I’m overweight on him. To balance the lineup, I’ll limit myself to just one salary saver per build and rotate through those options across my lineups.

Dean78904: My main focus will be single-entry and smaller-field type of contests. As things stand early in the afternoon, there are 2 appetizing games, while the rest are pretty meh. With that in mind, I’m toying with the idea of rostering players exclusively from CHI/TOR and DEN/SAC in a specific lineup. Early optimals are seeing 4 Raptors land in the lineup. I like the Raptors plenty, but I’ll likely max that at 3 players.
