this really screws up everything for me on FD have too much salary left over.

Nah, he’s been great with the starting unit. Then we get a little Mudiay value as well.

My guess is Mudiay starts with Mitchell and Ingles taking on more playmaking duties in the first unit.

Clarkson should stay in the 2nd unit.

IMO Mitchell is the only one worth playing. He’s under priced for having two starters out.

I think it will be Clarkson, that’s what they were doing the last 2 games that Conley missed. Clarkson is more of a scorer than a playmaker. He fits better with ingles and Mitchell making plays for him.

Being more of a pure point guard, I’m guessing Mudiay will run the second unit. Wouldn’t be surprised if Clarkson sees some second unit run as well as the scorer for that unit.

That makes sense looking back at the game logs. That 12 shots in 14 minutes game log makes you think upside.

Clarkson chalk-city now.

That sucks with conley, gotta look more to chalk clarkson i suppose.

Clarkson probably starts and then goes to the bench midway through the 1st quarter so he can come back in towards the end of the quarter to run the 2nd unit

Jingle jingle

I’ll be playing Ingles. Doubt I’d play Clarkson in any LUs.

Maybe I’m overstating the loss of Conley, but he’s always been a + defender, and at times an elite defender on the perimeter.

I know defense is overrated, in DFS terms, but I feel it plays a much more integral role in the playoffs.

I see a lot of scenarios where Denver is up 20 after 3… Moreso now than pre-Conley baby arrival.

How do you avoid Clarkson at that price?

Clarkson is scoring based only. I won’t have much of him. Mitchell will be very popular. Way underpriced on FD.

Clarkson is hard to avoid on DK. SG is loaded on FD and his price isn’t as appealing there

I’m on FD, so the pricing is already soft. He doesn’t really free up too much salary with his $4400 price tag over there.

on FD I either have too much cash or not enough cash, thanks a lot Conley smh

There’s some Really nice lineups you can make with clarkson at SG For 4400.

Yes, there’s An opportunity cost as well, as pg, Mitchell and Luka (although he struggles verses lac) Van Vleet are also priced well. So he’s not as strong a play as he is on Dk

Made a couple of beautiful lineups though on FD with the double punt of clarkson and Burks at SG

I thought about that double punt too. Not sure I will go there because I really like some of the more expensive plays. The SG position is absolutely loaded with 40 to 50 plus point upside.

I’m all over murray and my boy

As long as harris and barton remain out.

I’m just wondering about Kemba. Is this the game they let him lose? PG position is pretty ugly. Lowry seems safe but the most expensive and Murray has great upside with a low floor. The choices are really limited.

I would suspect Kemba won’t be limited

Kemba, Brown and Hayward all look nice on FD. I just feel like I’m throwing darts when Boston is fully healthy

Gary Harris (hip) ruled out for Monday. https://t.co/vrAhpcQIYv

Will Barton (knee) ruled out for Monday. https://t.co/BB03quGfMY

Wish they would get NBA HQ online. Dont know what they are waiting for
