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.

Cash game staples:

Kyle Lowry, Raptors

CJ McCollum, Blazers

T.J. Warren, Pacers

LaMarcus Aldridge, Spurs

Nikola Jokic, Nuggets

Hassan Whiteside, Blazers

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.

Giannis finished with 66.75 which was below the 70 I predicted for him. Collins actually led the way, followed by Giannis and Harden. Luka was out, so nothing there. Still, it was anotehr solid prediction night. On to tonight!

Jokic

LMA

CJ

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.

Kleber led the way at 55.3% after Porzingis was ruled out. Giannis was second at 49.38%. Monk and Green were nowhere near the top. Goran Dragic was actually third, but he was well behind the two leader at 27.89%. On to tonight!

LMA

Warren

Beastley
