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 mix 20-max and single-entry GPPs tonight. DET/ATL, SAS/NOP, and MEM/CLE all feature healthy totals, so game stacking looks like a more appealing approach to tournament builds than it usually does. I’ll lean heavily into the MEM/CLE game in particular thanks to the mid-range pricing on the stars combined with the potential cheap value offered by guys like Vince Williams, Ty Jerome, and Zach Edey. This game has a 250 total, which is rarefied air even these days.
Krayton: I will be looking to play my usual single-entry tournaments along with some of the 20-entry max contests on DK. I love seeing 3 games that have elite totals in DET/ATL, SAS/NOP and MEM/CLE. Those games are the ones I will be focusing on and looking to game stack, as they are all projected to be competitive, and we should see a ton of fantasy production. De’Aaron Fox and Zion Williamson are a couple of guys I like pairing together, but I will also be getting exposure to other high-end guys like Cade Cunningham and Trae Young, who are in great spots as well.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll be playing 150 lineups in large-field GPPs for a surprisingly fun and big slate for a Sunday night. The SAS/NOP game will be by far my top target of the night, with MEM/CLE and DET/ATL being my secondary targets. However, I think PHX/TOR ends up being the best sneaky game on the slate, and I plan on having quite a few game stacks and getting significantly over the field on players like Quickley, Barnes, Barrett, Durant, and Booker.
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.
