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?
tcsmith031: I like this slate for single-entry contests. I’ll be leaning heavily into the Memphis value as a result of their injuries, while I’m also planning on building around Jimmy Butler despite his questionable tag in the last game of the night. Because we may not have clarity on the situation, I plan to build every lineup with at least 2 open roster spots heading into the HOU/GSW game to allow for flexibility in case Butler is ultimately ruled out.
Krayton: I have been playing the single-entry contests during the playoffs and will continue to do so today. With Ja Morant out, Memphis is the team that I want to get heavy exposure to, with Scotty Pippen and Jaren Jackson being two of the core plays I will be building around as well as Luke Kennard on DK. I plan on mixing in a few guys who are projected to go a little overlooked, such as Norman Powell and Lu Dort.
ncorfield8k: Large-field tournaments. In the playoffs, I typically try to take advantage of the field overreacting to what has happened so far in a series. I’ll be playing more contrarian than usual. I won’t shy away from the chalk Grizzlies, but I’ll limit how much exposure I have in each lineup.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?

About the Author
Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
