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. Once again, I want to be overweight on Tyrese Haliburton. He has quietly been playing his best basketball of the season, topping 47 fantasy points in 9 of his last 11 games. He’s not going to be too popular, so I can afford to eat of a lot of the chalk when it comes to value plays.

Dean78904: I mostly focus on single-entry and smaller-field contests. I expect to lean into game stacks a little more than usual. The obvious one that I’m leaning into is MIL/DEN with both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard OUT, while Nikola Jokic was just upgraded to questionable. If Jokic plays I should have the money for him. If he doesn’t Jamal Murray is my run back. That is my favorite game to stack, with LAL/IND and BOS/PHX also on the podium. I’ll have some pieces here and there, but I expect to be under the field on the tanking teams (76ers, Raptors, Wizards, Nets).

ncorfield8k: Large-field tournaments – 4 of 6 games start within 30 minutes of lock, but one of the bigger potential late swap games (MIL/DEN) starts 2 hours after lock. Whether to save spots for potential better plays opening up (Nikola Jokic, Michael Porter Jr., and Aaron Gordon are all currently questionable) will be one of the bigger decision points on this slate. With Giannis Antetokounmpo out on the other side, I’m leaning toward at least one starter sitting, so I’ll likely give a boost to other Nuggets players.

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