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: Single-entry contests. It’s pretty easy to find value in the MIA/UTA game, which comes with the highest over/under on the slate by a pretty healthy margin. Even more cheap stuff will emerge there depending on injury news. Regardless, this is another slate in which I’ll be jamming Luka Doncic into lineups at all costs. He’s up to 1.64 FP/minute on the season with Austin Reaves off the floor, and motivation won’t be an issue in another revenge game in Dallas.
Krayton: I will be playing single-entry and smaller-field contests. Luka Doncic is the player I will build around. He’s been elite with Austin Reaves off the court, but he also gets a huge revenge game against the Mavericks. I will be playing quite a bit of the cheaper value in the Boston game, and Sam Hauser is a core play for me on FanDuel. I will also be playing Anfernee Simons and the cheap MIA players.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll play 150 lineups in large-field GPPs, and I want to keep an eye on injury news, specifically with Boston and Miami. Jaylen Brown is my favorite spend for tournaments if he plays. If he’s out, I want to load up on the other Boston players, like Payton Pritchard, Derrick White, Sam Hauser, and Anfernee Simons. Miami already looks good with Norman Powell and Davion Mitchell projected in, but if they’re ruled out, the Heat are an absolute lock-and-load team.
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.
