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.
CJ led the way and Harden was second, so I hit two of them. However, Giannis only getting 40.25 DraftKings points at his price really hurt. On to tonight!
Beal
LeBron
Siakam
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.
Jonas led the way at 43%. Nance and Coby White were the only other ones over 30%. Only 15% were ruined by Giannis. Nearly 20% were ruined by Gay. On to tonight!
Cody Martin
Beal
Rozier
