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.

I finally back off of A.D. and he breaks the slate. LeVert had a career night. Even Jrue and Lonzo outscored Beal. LeBron finished fourth. Beal did end up sixth. Siakam was seventh. All of my guys were in the top eight, so it wasn’t a total bust. On to tonight!

Luka

Beal

Giannis

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.

Zion led the way at 41.44%. Lyles screwed over a lot of people at 40%. Rozier was third, so I did get that one right. Beal and Martin were 12th and 10th respectively. On to tonight!

LeVert

Valentine

Hassan
