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 the usual mix of single-entry and 20-max. I think the MIN/CHA game on DK may wind up very stackable if LaMelo Ball is out, as both teams will offer a ton of value in several different pricing tiers. I also don’t mind the strategy of coming in underweight on some of the chalky Warriors, as I have no idea how the Pacers can keep that game competitive given their array of injuries. I like some of the lower-owned HOU pieces as direct pivots in GPPs.
Krayton: I will be playing single-entry and 20-max contests on both sites. It appears Houston will come in lower owned, and I like the idea of getting a decent amount of exposure to Alperen Sengun and Amen Thompson, who have elite upside potential.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll be playing 20-max large-field contests, and I plan to ignore BOS/HOU as much as possible while loading up on the other games. Unless Jaylen Brown sits, I have no interest in Boston, and I don’t think I’ll get to much Houston either outside of a touch of Alperen Sengun and/or Amen Thompson.
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.
