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.

Trae Young, Hawks

CJ McCollum, Blazers

Jayson Tatum, Celtics

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.

Beal was the only one to break 60 and he was over 70! Trae was decent, but barely cracked the top ten. Giannis finished second, so two of my three were the top two. That’s a solid night. On to tonight!

Davis

Harden

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.

RHJ was the highest owned last night at 40.51%. Only Ayton, Booker, and Conley topped 30. Siakam was sixth and Trae was seventh. Fox played, so CoJo was barely owned. On to tonight!

Davis (if LeBron out)

CJ

Ross
