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 20-max and single-entry GPPs. Tyrese Maxey is likely out again, which opens up tons of value for Philly. If Joel Embiid plays, I’ll probably set a max-2 for the Grimes/Edgecombe/George group to control for what should be a lot of ownership. It’s tougher to get away from these wings if Embiid is out, as Philadelphia would be missing a ton of usage without both of their All-Stars.
Krayton: I will be playing single-entry and 20-max contests on both sites. I will be playing 2-3 MIN and PHI value pieces with Anthony Edwards and Tyrese Maxey out. I’ll look for 2-3 lower-owned options to fit in with all of the chalkier value plays. Kevin Porter Jr., Luka Doncic (on FanDuel), and Steph Curry are a few I am looking at.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll just play one lineup in single-entry contests. I like the idea of pairing Kevin Porter Jr. and Michael Porter Jr. in the same game and then loading up on the 76ers and Timberwolves value plays.
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.
