My DraftKings Daily Picks Lineup

This is my first lineup of the night for this this Friday. I’ll update further as things continue to develop. 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: Jrue Holiday-New Orleans Pelicans
SG: Norman Powell-Toronto Raptors (assuming no DeRozan)
SF: Paul George-Indiana Pacers
PF: Markieff Morris-Washington Wizards
C: David Lee-San Antonio Spurs
G: Kyle Lowry-Toronto Raptors
F: Andre Iguodala-Golden State Warriors
U: Solomon Hill-New Orleans Pelicans

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.
