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’ll play a few single-entry GPPs on DraftKings and FanDuel. I like the idea of stacking the BOS/NYK game, as I have more faith in that one turning into a close, high-scoring affair. The primary pieces in this game are also underpriced on DK, which isn’t as true of the MIN/GSW game. Game stacks with at least 3 players on each side come together pretty easily.
Krayton: I will be playing a handful of single-entry contests on both FanDuel and DraftKings. I like the idea of mixing in 2-3 of the mid-priced NYK guys like Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart, OG Anunoby, and Jalen Brunson, as their minutes are secure.
ncorfield8k: Large-field tournaments – I’ll likely eat the chalkier value Warriors in Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga, who earned a bigger role with his Game 2 performance. I’ll get a bit different with my mid-range and spend-up options. And as usual on a 2-game slate, I’ll play more game stacks than I typically would.
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.
