Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks, Player Pool, and MME Strategy for 10/29

Welcome to what will be a Daily Fantasy Basketball player pool and mass multi entry strategy for both Draftkings and FanDuel.

There are a couple of different ways to approach NBA DFS MME – one way is to just put a few DFS NBA lineups in a bunch of tournaments, a strategy I do not recommend. The other is to be selective in the tournaments and enter those with the maximum lineups allowed. While everyone dreams of taking down a GPP with a life changing prize pool, my focus is on maximizing the number of entries that are competitive and finishing above the cash line and turning a profit on a more consistent basis. You will hear a lot about building a core group of players and building your lines around it but with MME this is hardly the case.

The goal is to create a player pool of both low and high risk plays while limiting exposure to the high risk plays. Contest selection is key as well, for example you have better odds of putting 150 entries into a tournament with a field of 20000 entries  versus a contest that may have a higher prize pool but only allows 20 max entries in a field of 40000. Using the csv edit option on both sites is the easiest way to enter in all your lineups once you have generated and here are links on how to do this – Fanduel CSV  Draftkings CSV. With that being said, let’s get to our pool for tonight.

Right off the bat there is some major injury news to get to. Giannis Antetokounmpo is questionable from a head contusion he suffered in the first half of saturday night’s game. He did get back on the court for 3 minutes in the 4th quarter so we will need to monitor this situation for updates regarding his status before tip-off. If he plays, he should be added to the player pool that will follow below, but for now he will be left off. The Pelicans are dealing with a slew of injuries, most notably Anthony Davis who is still listed as questionable with an elbow strain. There is a chance he sits this game as well so again his status will need to be monitored as this is the last game of the slate starting at 9pm. Elfrid Payton is out, and this injury provides us with our punt special of the night, Frank Jackson. Other injury news to keep an eye on include Andrew Wiggins and Fred VanVleet who are both listed as questionable and may be more on the probable side of returning to action tonight.
