My DraftKings Daily Picks Lineup

This is my first lineup of the night for this this Saturday. I’ll update with any changes by 6:00 PM ET and throughout the last hour before lineup lock 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: Stephen Curry-Golden State Warriors
SG: Iman Shumpert-Cleveland Cavaliers
SF: Markieff Morris-Washington Wizards
PF: Frank Kaminsky-Charlotte Hornets
C: Anthony Davis-New Orleans Pelicans
G: Brandon Jennings-New York Knicks
F: Gorgui Dieng-Minnesota Timberwolves
U: JaVale McGee-Golden State Warriors

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.
