Any off topic posts or posts containing full lineups will be deleted. Please make it a point to say if you’re talking about Cash or GPP options.

yes, DK accepts gift cards.

Honestly any other coach and other team wouldn’t play 3 quarters. This should be over at halftime. But Kerr likes to leave the stars in so maybe.

Joe Johnson is a trap. Yes, he will shoot a lot of shots but you only get points solely off of makes? He’s not gonna have a double double with rebounds or assists so a lot of his FP are heavily based off of STRAIGHT BUCKETS… we just saw the same thing with the Mavs a few weeks ago. Everyone said “Barnes and Curry are mst plays. someone has to score for them right?” the team scored 64 points.. Barnes and Curry busted. Granted, they played against MEM, but GS is just as good of a defensive team, if not better. Anyone who takes Iso Joe will regret it when he has 5 points at half. Ingles, Neto, Mack are where you should be looking.

Zbo and Butler or LA and Kawhi for cash?

Nvm, going with the first one. Hopefully Zbo gets around 30 mins if Marc sits.

I don’t think it’s impossible for them to keep it close. It’s not like GS is superhuman, they’ve had some let-down games this year already (got rocked by LAL). If Utah comes out and plays them tough in the 1st quarter it could stay close enough where everyone at least gets decent run.

Ersan or Jamychal? Cash games

No, this game won’t be close unless enough GSW stars sit to make the talent even. There’s no one active on the Jazz who can keep up offensively with GSW.

no way they crush value though. if one does, the rest probably come up well short. they’re too expensive and it’s probably going to be a slower game.

But Kerr has also said he wanted to rest players. He may see this game as a way to do so without outright sitting them. The pinnacle odds are are still slowing dropping but Utah still at 99 points.

lol you think joe johnson is a trap, but raul neto (who has played all of 27 minutes this season) is a play?

With Livingston out Curry might have to play additional minutes even if blowout. And remember, Warriors still have to do shit out there to win. I just might stack that game anyway.

You are a trap

Any specific that you have used? Does it need to be in your name, or generic gift card? I tried a visa last week and it wouldn’t work. Thanks.

With Livingston out, is Ian Clark in play? DK cash

This is a great night to go with a balanced line up.

i suspect the warriors will continue to have clark back up klay and just have mccaw take over livingston’s mins at the backup point. they will both play if there’s garbage time though because the warriors are pretty thin at the guards.

Tonight is a great night for someone to get lucky, good night to beat the players.

Now i know what im asking people for christmas lol

Trying to decide this too.. both seem to be in nice spots. Thinking who will be chalkier, probably the guy who just got an almost 20-20 I suppose..

Bjelica or Ian clark as a punt @ 3,000?

Sometimes teams will keep the game close if they know they will win just to give the fans something to stick around and watch. Warriors might take it easy on the Jazz for 4 quarters and then win it in the end, allowing the Jazz to get hot and hang in the game. Only time a team really needs to blow out another team is if they have concern they might not pull it out in a close game. I’m sure there is no concern with that so the Warriors might play relaxed and allow the Jazz to stick in it. If that is the case than if you stacked that game you should be in good shape.
