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.

LeBron was the highest scoring SF, but he was only tenth overall. Lillard was the top guy. Westbrook was sixth. Still not a horrible night. I didn’t really miss on anyone. On to tonight!

Lillard

Trae

Beal

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 got LeBron right. He was 53.16% owned, just ahead of Jonas Valanciunas. Both Wright and Curry screwed very few lneups, a large percentage of them mine. Brunson was easily the highest owned Dalllas guard at 42.85%, good for third overall.

Barea

Porzingis

Clarkson
