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.

Harden was a total bust last night, but Russ and Kawhi were both top five players. As Meat Loaf said, Two out of Three Aint Bad. On to tonight!

Drummond

LeBron

Love

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 totally whiffed on ownership last night. Kawhi’s first career triple double was only 7.8% owned. Jackson was just 5%, and T.J. was this highest of mine at 14.1%, but he still didn’t crack the top ten. Wood was the highest owned, followed by Kemba and Nerlens Noel. Tonight should be easier.

Drummond

Love

Korkmaz
