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.

Drummond got ejected, LeBron didn’t play, but Giannis did get second. I got one right last night. On to tonight!

Kawhi

Young (if active). If not, Booker

Booker/DeRozan
