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: Small-field GPPs – I love tonight’s slate, because a lot of my favorite plays aren’t projecting well. When it comes to NBA DFS, players who don’t project well tend to fly under the radar in terms of ownership. I plan to be overweight on Collin Sexton, Aaron Wiggins, Desmond Bane, and Jonathan Kuminga.

headChopper: I’m mainly playing single-entry and limited-entry smaller-field GPPs tonight on the small slate. The biggest way I think I’ll get different is by X-ing out the Miami team, including all the solid value, from my player pool. The Spurs are a monster defensive team, and I don’t want any part of those Heat players, especially at their early pOWN%.

Dean78904: I mostly focus on single-entry and smaller-field-type contests. I don’t know if the public is buying into the furious pace at which the Heat are playing this year, but I think it’s pretty legit, so I’m gravitating toward their games. I expect my main lineup to be a MIA/SAS game stack with potentially up to 5 players combined. I’m likely to mostly fade the WAS/OKC game, so I’ll be rooting for the potential blowout to come to fruition.
