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.

Ayton was best last night, followed by Holiday and KAT. I did have KAT. VanVleet was solid and so was Jokic, but they barely cracked the top ten. On to tonight!

Beal

LIllard

Westbrook

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 was right about VanVleet being the highest owned. Davis was third instead of second. Thon was seventh, so this was a strong prediction last night. Wood was second last night, which surprised no one. On to tonight!

Beal

Whiteside
