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’s 46 was a dud for the price. Ayton was a dud in the blowout. Porzingis flat out sucked, so you know my night was a disaste. Lillard, Oubre, Wood, and Korkmaz were the top three. On to tonight!

Jokic

Towns

VanVleet

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.

Harden was third in ownership at 46% last night. Kanter was the only one over 50. Tatum finished second. 18.83% were bent over by Porzingis. Mike Conley was under 10%! On to tonight!

VanVleet

Terence Davis

Thon
