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 love small-field and single-entry tournaments. On slates this large, there are naturally going to be a lot of good plays that fly under the radar. The cool part about tonight’s slate is that the pricing on FanDuel is so different than it is on DraftKings, so we are looking at two completely different builds. On FanDuel, I want to be overweight on Austin Reaves, Julius Randle, and Jrue Holiday, while on DraftKings, I want to be overweight on Victor Wembanyama and Devin Booker.
headChopper: I’m playing in smaller fields with limited entries. I’m not touching low-ceiling value. If that means I can’t dip under a certain price range, so be it – I’m a hard pass on guys like Mike Conley on this slate. I’ll start by jamming in a star, but the rest of the build will look much more balanced.
TJ Zwarych: My preferred choice tonight is to run just 1 lineup in single-entry contests, and I’ll prioritize Victor Wembanyama along with some cheap options around him. Many of the best salary-saving options are also at the center position, but I like the idea of spending up at center (and utility on DK) with another big man alongside Wemby.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
