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.

Cash game staples:

Kyle Lowry, Raptors

Dennis Schroder, Thunder

Andrew Wiggins, Timberwolves

Brandon Ingram, Pelicans

Joel Embiid, 76ers

Jalen Brunson, Mavs

DraftKings NBA is perfect for GPP purposes since there are quite a few values to be found at this stage of the season. Most cash options are also GPP viable. The following players will mostly be used in GPP lineups.

Kemba Walker, Celtics

D’Angelo Russell, Warriors

Davis Bertans, Wizards

Aaron Gordon, Magic

Kristaps Porzingis, Mavs

CJ McCollum, Blazers

Value picks:

Michael Carter-Williams, Magic

Tyler Herro, Heat

Derrick Jones, Heat

Admiral Schofield, Wizards

Myles Turner, Pacers

Stacks:

Raptors

Heat

Magic

Grizzlies (GPP only)

Suns (GPP only)

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.

Harden was the dud. Both Giannis and LeBron were top eight entries. Harden was barely top 20.

Drummond

Embiid

Ingram

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