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.

I hit with Lillard as tehe hig scorer last night and Beal was second. I might have finally hit this if Trae hadn’t got hurt! On to today!

Russ

Harden

Giannis if he plays. If not, Middleton

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.

Apparently only 12% of us were big enough dumbasses to trust Barea to Carlisle. I Tweeted out that I expected Dennis Smith to be highest with Payton and Frank out and he was. Porzingis didn’t play, but his replacement Klebver was second highest. Kyrie was third and a super cheap Mitchell was fourth. Better luck today!

Ingram

House

Westbrook
