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.

It was a light night and Luka wasn’t even in the top three. Dame led the way and Beal was in the top four, so those were good picks On to tonight!

Harden

Westbrook

Kawhi

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.

Last night Beal was 66% owned, by far the highest. Ariza was second at 46.1%. Howard was at 45.1%. I did my part and had them all on my team. If Luka had the highest ownership, I would have won a lot more! He was just 27%, behind the likes of Lillard, THJ, LeBron, and Kyrie. Tonight is going to be more difficult.

Kawhi

Reggie Jackson

McConnell
