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.

Luka and Trae were in the top ten, but Sabonis was a total dud. Let’s see what tonight brings.

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.

Marc Gasol was the second highest owned player last night. Sabonis only screwed over 14% of us. Luka was only 17.6%. Aldridge led the way and DeRozan was third. Tongiht looks easier.
