Lineup and Advice

Take advantage of the four games because it might be the last time we have this many games on the schedule until next year. Guards are in demand and there’s no shortage of value across the four games. Your building block guys are Harden, Wall, and LeBron. The running mates for Harden and Wall make for great options as well. Or, you can pair up the Utah backcourt and trust the Thunder defense will be bad again.

In my example, I’ve built around Paul and Mitchell.

Explanation of the stars after each pick: Each one of my picks is ranked on a scale of one to five stars. 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 to build your roster around.
