FanDuel NBA breakdown – Final Thoughts

In this section I will go in depth about topics such as roster construction, and just overall strategy on how to attack this slate. We used to provide a sample lineup in this section, and decided to remove that for this season. That takes the fun out of doing research yourself, and actually building the lineup is the best part about DFS in my opinion. What I will do is help you in how to build that lineup, which is almost as good. I will also include my favorite play of the day in this section. This could be a stud, a value player, or mid-tier. It is just my personal favorite player that I like for the slate.

I used to take a studs and duds approach last year with the drop score, but we no longer have that feature so I will be reverting back to my old ways of building lineups. That is normally building around one star. On a smaller slate you can get wacky with things and go back to that studs and duds approach but it garnishes more risk without the drop score. For this slate I will be building around Giannis and Curry. Those are my main cash game pay up players, and I will mix in some mid-tier players such as Harrell, Draymond, or Siakam. Throw in some value plays with a decent workload and you have a solid well balanced lineup.
