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. The ATL/CHA game is easily my favorite to target. Both teams are missing high-usage players, yet this game has the highest total on the slate.

headChopper: I’m focusing on small-field, single-entry contests tonight. With a short slate and potential blowouts, I think a game stack is the way to go. I’m prioritizing the first game of the night (ATL/CHA) and building the majority of my lineup around it to lock in early production.

tcsmith031: I think just some 20-max GPPs for me tonight. Charlotte looks like the best source of cheap value, but I’m planning to set some rules to manage their group of cheap, low-usage wings/guards. I’ll consider a max of 2 from the DaQuan Jeffries / Seth Curry / Wendell Moore / Nick Smith group, while I may bump it to a max of 3 if LaMelo Ball is out.

Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
