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: This is another good slate for single-entry GPPs. The key to the slate will be how much of the OKC value to eat. I’m considering a max-2 rule of the Ajay Mitchell / Chet Holmgren / Jalen Williams trio just because lots of builds are likely to start with the 3 highest-usage players. There are plenty of other good ways to spend salary on this slate, so Holmgren is the player I’m most inclined to fade. Paying all the way up for Luka Doncic or Nikola Jokic will likely be a very unique approach as well.
Krayton: I will be playing single-entry and smaller-field contests on both DK and FD. With OKC projecting extremely well in SimLabs and LineupHQ with SGA out of the lineup, I plan on playing 2-3 pieces of OKC in each of my lineups, and I will be looking to get different by targeting 1-2 players who aren’t carrying much ownership, such as Luka Doncic and Jamal Murray. Deni Avdija is also a player I want to be over the field on, as he has scored over 30 points in 3 of his last 5 games and has an elite ceiling.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll be playing a single-entry lineup, likely with the combination of KJ Simpson, Pat Spencer, and Ajay Mitchell at point guard on DK. It’s really easy to build a stars-and-scrubs lineup, getting up to both Nikola Jokic and Deni Avdija, and that is my core I plan to build around.
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.
