Lineup notes: The top lineup listed is my top lineup for tonight although there’s risk in relying so heavily on two teams. I’ll be adjusting if Nicolas Batum can play tonight, but I think that he’ll likely sit tonight’s game out. The second lineup is another way to attack tonight’s games going more balanced and without a megastar but with multiple solid options.
Recent Results: From January 2-25, here is how my picks did. All numbers are fantasy points per 1,000 in salary.
5-star picks (81 picks): 4.804
4-star picks (182 picks): 4.814

1-star picks (60 picks): 4.213
Explanation of the stars after each pick: Each one of my picks is ranked for the day on a scale of one to five stars. The more stars that a pick receives represents the more confident I am in that selection. Picks that I give five stars (∗∗∗∗∗) are players that you almost have to own and I have no reservations about owning at their price. Players that get four stars (∗∗∗∗) are players that I think are strong picks to build your roster around. Three-star players (∗∗∗) are middle-of-the-road solid picks who are fairly reliable to produce a good game. Picks receiving two stars (∗∗) are high-risk, high-reward players who do offer enough upside to be in my picks, but also have a significant risk factor that makes them dangerous. One star (∗) players are picks that are the best option around that price point, but who I don’t think are great options. I would take any one-star player over any option not in my picks, but they aren’t picks I would build my roster around.
