Yeah first post of the day, first time ever, I’ll take it….good day of hoops, early and late slate, looking solid all around.

Gonna win me some birthday bucks. Not really but gonna have some DFS fun trying.

Embiid and Sabonis in or out today?

A Trae Day!
A DRAY DAY!

Really like Sabonis and Embiid. Gimme Lowry+Gasol correlation and I’ll add Tobias to Embiid who seem to work well together.

Why no Boogie Man?

Early slate FD, any chance Gasol or Whiteside in 20-25 minutes outscore chalky Turner?

Early: Lowry/Green/Siakam/Dragic/Whiteside stack

DK

Yes. Gasol could see a lot more than that. I’m going back to Gasol. Whiteside is sketchy.

no idea why anyone actually thinks the suns warriors game is a game to target players in, other than backups. you really think the suns go on the road on a b2b and keep it close in oracle? if no one for the dubs rest, zero chance. that rules out most guys from that game

Not sure if I’ll play this slate or not, but did a once over and this is what I’ll have to say. Thad Young is a LOCK. Play Embiid. Probably Gasol. Lowry, obvies! OG! Fill in the rest.

Good luck!

Too many Warriors imo..for a 17 point spread with the Suns coming off a B2b.

I’m thinking 1 warrior max per lineup, unless you’re gamestacking and hoping for a close game. Someone will get there in 3 quarters. Yet not likely more than one if the game goes as Vegas suggests.

Per Bovada:
Raptors (-1) at Heat — T: 216
Pacers at Sixers (-5.5) — T: 219
Pelicans at Hawks (-2) — T: 237
Bucks at Spurs (-1.5) — T: 227

If LaVine sits, who sees the biggest uptick?

I think it affects all the starters. Lopez would likely be least affected. His direct replacement would be in play as well.

noon game right after we lose an hour? WTF?

Got to find leverage. Going to fade Ibaka/Siakam for Gasol and hope I can play Sabonis.

That game has 82-80 all over it

Yeah, I have zero issue fading Siakam. I think Young outscores him anyway at half the ownership.

This slate will be so much easier if Embiid is out

Pistons are the hottest team in the league right now. They should destroy the Bulls. The odd start time does throw a wrench in things. Pistons have been awful in afternoon games this year. Plus Reggie is questionable I believe and of obviously LaVine is. I can’t even mess with this showdown.

Seems like Otto Porter was worth the contract he got. Bulls are 8-6 with him on the floor since his acquisition. With 2 of those losses to the Bucks. Seems like one of those players who makes a team better yet doesn’t always post guady stats. Wizards were better when he played as well.

If Reggie and Zach sit, I’ll play the showdown slate.

Why no Siakam? Isn’t pf where you attack the heat?
