Stacking Sixers is my favorite play on Thursday given how little action there. The Lakers and Bulls have rotation questions that I need to see before making firm decisions on them. Miami is a DFS nightmare with their inconsistencies. And the Wizards have plenty of talent but could begin fighting each other at any point in the game. At least I know what I’m getting in Philly.

Reminder: This is just an example lineup built on players discussed in previous slides. I try to pick a balanced lineup, but you may prefer to go heavy on top-end players and hope a low-cost option impressed. Or you may prefer a high-risk, high-reward lineup. Personally, I play multiple lineups depending on the league I enter.

If you have any questions about a certain player or lineup decision, I’m happy to answer on Twitter. Good luck tonight.
