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 a short slate, but it still looks great for tournaments, with lots of ways to spend up. I’ll focus more on single-entry GPPs. Lots of ownership will flock to the Thunder (especially on DraftKings) but we have no shortage of alternatives who could fly under the radar. I’ll likely eat some of the cheap chalk (De’Andre Hunter, Norman Powell) and instead look to prioritize some of the stars who could go under-owned.
Krayton: I will continue to focus on single-entry tournaments, even on smaller slates like we have tonight. I have typically found success playing some of the lower-owned stars who may go overlooked, such as Trae Young, Zion Williamson, Cam Thomas, etc. Norman Powell is one of the top values that I like and am willing to build around.
TJ Zwarych: I plan to just play a single-entry lineup tonight, with a heavy focus on the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers. The Thunder played fantastic basketball so far this season, and it’s clear Chet Holmgren is taking a step up for his sophomore season. The Clippers are shorthanded, but they are not priced that way. James Harden and Norman Powell are my top targets there, and if I were playing more lineups, I’d want at least one of them in every single build.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
