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.

George got hurt. Holiday was third among SG, but still didn’t break 40. Tatus was second and Kawhi was fourth in scoring. Overall, it was a pretty disappointing night. On to tonight!

Harden

Giannis

Embiid

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 had Gallo second. He was first in ownership. Holiday was fourth. Tatum was tenth, but it was lower than I expected. Zion was second and CP3 was third. On to tonight!

Embiid

Josh Richardson

Bam
