My DraftKings Daily Picks Lineup
This is my second lineup of the night for Friday night. With Amir Johnson playing for Boston, I switched out Kelly Olynyk for DeMarre Caroll in my forward spot. I’ll update with any further changes before the first game tips off at 7:00. There are still some important injury situations to watch today, so check back before tip-off to see who is in, who is out, and what it means for my lineup. Make sure to follow on Twitter at @FanSidedFantasy and @ZT_sports where I’ll let you know whenever I make tweaks to my lineup.
PG: Isaiah Thomas-Boston Celtics
SG: Dion Waiters-Miami Heat
SF: Anthony Tolliver-Sacramento Kings
PF: Enes Kanter-Oklahoma City Thunder
C: Nikola Vucevic-Orlando Magic
G: Mike Conley-Memphis Grizzlies
F: DeMarre Carroll-Toronto Raptors
U: Hassan Whiteside-Miami Heat
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.
