Gortat should eat against the knicks bigs, huh?

d williams 3200 dk

what is GPP?

From what I watched it seemed pretty even between Bledsoe and Knight, but they play at such a fast pace that I’m not sure it really matters.

I really am trying to understand this whole Clippers are too athletic for Boogie thing. So I checked the game logs. Boogie has owned them basically every game he has played them the last 2 seasons. What has changed so drastically that he will no longer be able to handle them?

Koufos or Ezeli?

How do you guys figure out value? If durant is $10,000 on fanduel or whatever site you want to use, how do you get 2x or 3x? What’s the measure?

If KD is 10,000, for him to get 2x value, he would need to get 20FP, 3x is 30FP, etc.

yeah I agree with you. Deandre is an top 5 rim protector within 5-10 feet. But when it comes to defensive effective FG%, he is not as great as it seems.

Explain..

Any thoughts on Rondo tonight?…. I think he will be a good play at 5100 more than likely less than 2% owned

Thanks but I’m confused about the floor does that change or is it a good starting place for cash if I look at who has a high floor from last season

$300 gpp LU on DK submitted :)

I would stay away. CP3 is a great defender and he is splitting time with Collison

c.j miles or stucky

My couple of value plays are Mike Conley, Marcin Gortat, and Porzingis tonight. I can’t decide between Stephen Curry, or Wall though. Possibly CP3 too

Thanks for the reply. What multiplier are we looking for exactly in a player? I hear 5x or 6x is ideal. Is that right?

definitely, though at least on FD having only one center to me means I probably got to go ahead and play Boogie, especially since I get so much value elsewhere. Ezeli has looked excellent through 2 games and will get plenty of PT tonight against the big NO front line. Speights was an equally good pick last night. I made 2 sharpshooter lineups that were identical with the two of them swapped out last night and they scored withing 0.25 of each other.

Thats what I’ve been doing. Day one started out with $50. my Formula for playing and keeping my cash is this for me as a newbie.
Example: $50*.2= $10
$10*.70= $7.00 double up contest
$10*.30= $3.00 GPP

I started with $50 as of today i’m at $61. Will continue to use this method as I get comforatble spending more cash and better at the NBA rosters and schedules. Rotogrinders has helped me out a lot.

Clippers give up a lot of FTPS to PF.

It stands for Guaranteed Prize Pool. However even some double ups and 50/50s have guaranteed prize pools so it really is just a misleading slang term. When people say GPP they are referring to tournaments. Cash games are 50/50s double ups H2Hs and what not.

ahh man.. i rmber seein ur post.. i saw yhe winnin lineup in the 27 dk thing and it was all okc n orl at 370pts..
congrats tho dood on gettin whatya got

How’re we feeling about Aminu tonight? Hit value in both games he’s played so far.

Anyone thinking about taking a chance on Courtney Lee

We shall see about that. GG last night btw. I’m game for some hu’s for low stakes anytime for shits and giggles.
