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:

LeBron James, Lakers

CJ McCollum, Blazers

T.J. Warren, Pacers

Anthony Davis, Lakers

Nikola Jokic, Nuggets

Lonzo Ball, Pelicans

Giannis, Bucks

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 on Embiid, He was the high scorer last night by 14.75 DraftKigns points over Bam in second. Trae had a solid night and Harden was fourth, so my picks were decent. On to tonight!

Giannis

A.D.

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.

Embiid was the highest owned at 45.4%. DSJ was second and Luka was third. Nunn was eighth and Furkan didn’t move the needle. On to tonight!

A.D.

Juan Toscano

Aaron Holiday/Justin Holiday, whoever starts.
