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 and single-entry tournaments. My plan of attack tonight is to load up on the Nuggets (assuming Nikola Jokic is out), to stack the value plays from the PHI/NOP game, and to be a little contrarian on a couple of my spends (Tyrese Haliburton, Nikola Vucevic, etc.).

headChopper: I’ll run one lineup in single-entry mid-stakes GPPs, but I’ll also throw it in the flagship contest in case I hit the nuts. The build will be centered around small-field strategy, though. With news already coming in, it’s going to be a long day, so I won’t start piecing it together until about 20 minutes before lock. My main point of differentiation will be to get unique at 1-2 spots while still absorbing plenty of chalk elsewhere. If I were building the lineup right now, that low-pOWN% piece would be Julius Randle—but that’s subject to change based on news.

ncorfield8k: Large-field tournaments – This is a strong stars-and-scrubs slate, as the Pelicans provide a lot of value with several players out. I’ll eat the value chalk and make some pivots to lower-pOWN% stars.

Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
