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.

More from DraftKings

Cash game staples:

Luka Doncic, Mavs

Derrick Rose, Pistons

DeMar DeRozan, Spurs

Kevin Love, Cavs

Andre Drummond, Pistons

Chris Paul, Thunder

DraftKings NBA is perfect for GPP purposes since there are quite a few values to be found at this stage of the season. Most cash options are also GPP viable. The following players will mostly be used in GPP lineups.

Dennis Schroder, Thunder

Eric Gordon, Rockets

Bojan Bogdanovic, Jazz

LaMarcus Aldridge, Spurs

KAT, Timberwolves

Derrick Rose, Pistons

Value picks:

Reggie Jackson, Pistons

Seth Curry, Mavs (if no WCS)

Svi Mykhailiuk, Pistons

Danuel House, Rockets

Isaiah Hartington, Rockets

Austin Rivers, Rockets

Stacks:

Pistons

Kings

Rockets (GPP only)

Spurs (GPP only)

Jazz (GPP only)

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

Drummond

Towns

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.

Austin Rivers

Reggie Jackson

Eric Gordon
