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?

Notorious: I prefer small-field and single-entry tournaments. My plan of attack is to lock in Tyrese Haliburton once again. He continues to be low owned despite the fact that he has topped 47 fantasy points in 10 of his last 12 games. He’ll garner some ownership tonight, but I’m locking him into my main lineup. The same goes for Jarrett Allen with Evan Mobley out.

headChopper: One lineup focused on small fields with 3-max entries or fewer. My favorite game of the night is the LAL/CHI, and I will have Josh Giddey in my lineup. I want to run it back with a Laker or two and build from there. That should be enough to get a unique lineup build started, and we’ll see where the value opens up as the day goes on.

tcsmith031: I’ll roll with the usual mix of single-entry and 20-max contests. I’m not usually a game stacker, but I do like the idea of correlating expensive pieces on both sides of the LAL/CHI and MEM/OKC matchups. Surrounding those lower-pOWN% studs – like Jaren Jackson or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – with cheap, chalky options like Anthony Black and Davion Mitchell should supply enough leverage.
