I am. Foul trouble got him a place on the bench last game.

Woke up to a surprise this morning. 1 out of my 13 lineups cashed yesterday.

Back to 20 lines today. Playing a couple with TOR blowout in mind (RHJ, Boucher, Davis). Playing a lot more Clarkson today than Monday. And going right back to Craig at 3.1dk.

Don’t fade DM he has the ability to get to the cup and finish he’s going to have the ball in his hands all game.Panda great call on the Lakers steam rolling the Blazers

I must say thank god I didnt bet yesterday as I got busy-I was going to bet BIG on OKC-never in a million years did I think rockets would win without russ and had lots of harden and he didnt really do more then jimmy b at much higher which shocks me as I didnt see them winning at all even with monster harden game.

only thing I get right is play bigs vs bucks
Noel not playing much killed me

for tonight looks like u know who to play-pascal on my do not play list-he has been trash lately and I dont see him needing monster game vs nets-it may burn me but I am down with the OG

He’s still affordable on fd. SG position is loaded. Up top are Luka, Levert, Donovan, PG, followed by FVV, cheap value guys like Sweet Lou, Clarkson, Smart, Richardson, and punts like Burkes, TLC, Temple. I think this will be the key the key to making money. The rest of the positions are more limited.

Craig should reach value before he fouls out, right? 2/2 against Utah in the Bubble, lol.

al is old dude he cant run the floor when celtics run and gun

I was going to jump on Clarkson today too, but I don’t know what upside he has at $5100. He shot almost 50% last game going 8/17 from the floor. Plus the 3 rebounds and 4 assists seem to be on the high side for him. I mean he could easily put up 40 points, but that would mean that Mitchell isn’t hitting his shots and taking 33 like he did last game.

my lock of the night which is no great call or special though is KP-book him for 60-70 fantasy points-he will be man on mission tonight

Spida is probably a good play again today, but if Torrey Craig can avoid foul trouble today he can make things more difficult

Thanks.

Yeah…I think Clarkson is going to smash today. 39 minutes at 17 FGA, he went 2 of 9 from 3. If he hit his season avg and gotten a 1 or 2 more peripherals, that’s ~10 more FP…

I mean the one thing on 🕷 is this. I had him 100% last game, if we you watched the game, mpj should remain non existent unless he gets 10 rebounds a game, because he won’t be on the floor in the 4th quarters. So i have removed mpj. They’re gonna need craig to play damm near the whole game, with morris and grant because if mpj is in there 🕷 will get the switch and abuse them.

The nuggets may trap him in certain spots, which makes me love clarkson and ingles and possibly gobert. I don’t expect another 57 points, but i think mitchell could fall into more assists and still hit 50-60 fantasy points, just not another 80 plus lol.

He’s exactly the kind of play I avoid and I often regret later. He’s risky but the perfect GPP play. He can get hot and rack up pheriphals in a hurry. I can’t imagine him being owed very much.

Mitchell is much more viable on FD than on DK.

Bingo! He should see lower ownership too as people chase spida. Clarkson in a absolute smash spot

Just to help out the board, Clarkson played 34 minutes in regulation and Monte Morris played 24.

Seen a few posts saying Clarkson played almost 40 minutes and Monte Morris went x times his salary. I’m not saying they’re not good plays. They probably are considering the lack of reliable cap savers today.

Just know what you’re buying, as the game isn’t likely to go into OT again. You’re buying roughly 34 minutes and 24 minutes for Clarkson and Morris respectively.

I’d rather play Sweet Lou on fd for 200 more. Yesterday I rushed my lineup and didn’t realize the Blazy and Melo were the same price. That mistake cost me from cashing.

You are correct. But the fact that those guys were the coaches choices to play full minutes in OT kinda indicates their role in the playoffs and the potential style of gameplay we are looking at for game 2.

EDIT: Also, Grant looks like a solid value target from that game.

how alarmed are you by the knee soreness for KP?

Putting money where my mouth is. After bitching about him and how he was a good play craig is 3100 dk and I’m going 100% tonight. Also going back to royce but not 100%

Yep agree again. UTA literally doesn’t have anyone else who can score consistently and get their own shot then Spida. Clarkson is in play here and I hope people go for Lou or others. Also, running a ton of Jerami Grant, MPJ going to get exposed and don’t think Malone is going to ride that out. Grant had a nice game and didn’t even get peripherals where he usually does. I can see him hitting 30 easily with 40pt upside.

Hmm also want to go heavy on Siakam but beer praised him this morning on podcast which scares the shit outta me lol.

Projected at 29% on FD and 30.4% on DK

Noooooooooo! I was high on Siakam until you pointed that out. Kiss of death sometimes.
