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.

Davis was a dud because of the blowout. Sabonis was disappointing and so was CJ. None of my picks broke 45. Before you get after me too much, only two guys broke 50 (Harris and Randle) and one more (Payton) hit 45. While it was disappointing, all three were still in the top ten. On to tonight!

Giannis

Trae

Beal

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.

Davis was the highest owned at 59%. Horford and Rondo also topped 50% with Tobias just under. CJ rounded out the top five. Richardson and Sabonis were six and seven, so I got pretty close. On to tonight!

Cory Joseph

Young

Siakam
