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 didn’t play and LeBron reaped the rewards. Beal finished third, so the two that did play did what I expected. OG was fourth behind LBJ, Jokic, and Beal. On to tonight!

Giannis

CJ

Harden

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.

LeBron had the highest ownership, which isn’t at all surprising since Davis was out. Powell, Beal, and Damion Lee were also above 35%. On to tonight!

Kleber

Rudy Gay

Giannis
