Markieff you gotta worry about Bojan decreasing his scoring and Noel is gone Embiid I think is still out so Saric will have his minutes increase so hes defiantly the better play

Punting with Chriss, Portis, and Okafor. Each of those guys should hit 6x or more.

Players can be up and down, yet what makes someone a must play for me, is the situation and price. When watson was announced out and Elf announced the starter, it said to me his minutes would be solidified. Meaning anywhere from 30 to 38. So while ELF is up and down in general, he rarely dissappoints in this situation, which is why he was a must play across the board IMO. We all know ELF has 50 point upside, and in this matchup with a rapidly rising vegas total, 50 dk points was in the realm of outcomes, so for me I saw no reason to fade.

We so defiant? I see no need for resistance in regards to Saric.

My take is Saric will be 40-50% owned and rightfully so. For GPPs if he duds and you fade you one leg up the competition. Obviously if he goes for 40+ (likely) and you don’t have him then you’re screwed. Make two GPP lineups one with him and one without

Gotta go back to Jokic tonight after yesterday. Unlike guys like Whiteside and Drummond who can’t play outside the Key. He can hang around with Lopez at the 3 pt line. Brooklyn is at home so I don’t see this being a blowout. He should get his tonight.

I don’t like TJ Warren going against Butler D but it just means more looks for Bledsoe

If he’s eligible tonight Cam Payne should get some run at the PG tonight. They think he’s the future for the Bulls and will want to see what he’s got

I was persuaded, good call. Scored 298.70 with my best lineup, but Jrue and E’Twaun kept me from cashing. Should have listened to that guy who said Moore owners would be disappointed, and should have stayed with Ish as my second PG.

This is exactly what I said yesterday in regards to WCS. How’d that work out?

any thoughts on Taj ?

If you fade Saric for Kieff, who is the superior player, and Kieff outperforms him by 10+ then you have gained an advantage.

He’s the one dog I cant find any fleas on. I think he has the makings of a centerpiece (excuse the pun) for all my lineups. Hope Im right.

Let’s play both

Noel didn’t travel with the Mavs, so not playing tonight, plans to debut against the Pelicans Saturday. Note that DWill is gone and Barea still out. Yogi time.

I didnt even reliaze illyasova was traded to hawks fading Saric is really a big risk im not taking.

Spot on i’d say, had 100% WCS and cashed 100%

any love for trevor booker tonight

I like Wes Matt and Curry in this spot too, and I may 100% Kat unless something changes my mind

any love for trevor booker tonight

In cash on FD I’m thinking Saric will be more along the lines of 70% plus.

Yes

It was pretty easy not to play Elf when I was able to play Kyrie and Dame in a LU. It hurts that I originally had Steph and Kemba but CP3’s defense scared me off of Steph. I didn’t switch it back after CP3 was ruled out.

Yeah I’ve stopped trying to figure out what they’re thinking. Maybe they thought today was a Saturday.

ok well all this chatter who we locking I love Gortat tonight.
How about people like Whiteside, Lopez, Westbrook, Deangelo, Wade, Oladipo thoughts?
Okafor , Portis?

Yeah I’ll play Ish before Jackson

Center i’m looking at Adams, KAT.
