My DraftKings Daily Picks Lineup

This is my first lineup of the night for this this Monday, and I’ll update at 6:00 and as we get closer to gametime. As always, I’ll let you know of any changes to my lineup and other injury impact on Twitter at @FanSidedFantasy and @ZT_sports.

PG: Russell Westbrook-Oklahoma City Thunder
SG: Matthew Dellavedova-Milwuakee Bucks (if starting)
SF: Caris LeVert-Brooklyn Nets
PF: Thaddeus Young-Indiana Pacers
C: Brook Lopez-Brooklyn Nets
G: John Wall-Washington Wizards
F: David Lee-San Antonio Spurs
U: Dejounte Murray-San Antonio Spurs

Explanation of the stars after each pick:  Each one of my DraftKings daily picks is ranked on a scale of one to five stars.  Five star players (∗∗∗∗∗) need to be worked into your lineup at one slot or another and are “must-own’ at their current price.   Players that get four stars (∗∗∗∗) are players that I think are strong cornerstone picks to build your roster around.  Three-star players (∗∗∗) are solid, steady picks who I think are fairly safe picks with enough upside to try and fit them into your lineup. Players who get two stars (∗∗) are usually high-risk, high-reward players who do offer enough upside to be in my picks, but also have at least one significant risk factor that makes them dangerous.  One star (∗) players are picks that are the best option around that price point at that position, but not picks that I absolutely love. They’re better than the options around them, but not picks to build around.
