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 ā€œtrifectaā€ 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.

Giannis and Ingram were the top two, but Kawhi slid down to tenth. That’s still not a bad turnout. I’ll take it. On to tonight!

Luka

Trae

Sabonis

The same person who requested the trifecta also suggested that I try to project high ownership. This could be tricky, but here are the three I think will be highest owned, in no particular order.

I nailed Porter and Morris. They were the two highest owned last night at 47% and 43% respectively. Kawhi was only 17.8%. Donovan Mitchell actually ended up third. Let’s see how I do with tonight.

Sabonis

Luka

Marc Gasol
