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 take the 1-lineup approach to a few contests on both sites. I see no reason not to hammer the Cavs value with 4 starters missing, and I’ll include pieces projecting for lower ownership in the player pool, like Jaylon Tyson and Craig Porter, in what is a fairly uncertain situation. I’m also planning on stacking Anthony Edwards with Ja Morant, as the MIN/MEM game has the closest spread on the board with major playoff implications for both teams.
headChopper: I’ll be running 1 lineup on this small slate and entering it in single-entry mid-stakes contests—and of course, I have to throw it in the flagship GPP just in case. I want to play some of the Cavs value and pair it with two studs. One of them I won’t care about the ownership, and the other will be a low-pOWN% star. I haven’t decided just yet who they are, but I’m leaning toward Anthony Edwards if the current projected ownership (20-25%) holds true.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll only be playing 1 lineup in single-entry contests, but even if I were playing more, my plan would be to load up on both the Cavs and Knicks as much as possible. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns are my two favorite spends on the slate, and I love the idea of playing them together with the value from the Cavs.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
