DraftKings NBA core plays:

Many of the cash anchors can anchor GPP lines as well. However, there’s a lot of value out there if you’re willing to take some risks. Do keep in mind that you wont be able to use all five staples in the same lineup. These are just guidelines to help in your build.

This was requested by a loyal reader and avid sports bettor. I am going to try to predict the “trifecta” each night, as in the three highest scoring players on the slate. I have yet to hit all three, and only got two of them a couple of times.

Lillard actually led the way last night with Embiid, Lowry, and Ingram all going between 56 and 58 DraftKings points. My three picks were all in the top 20, but none cracked the top ten.

Harden

LeBron

Giannis

Good luck getting even two of them in a lineup though!
