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.

Luke did lead the way and LeBron was third. Beal infiltrated the top three. Westbrook still had 50 so it wasn’t a total bust, but he was surpassed or matched by nine others. However, since all three were 50 or more, I’ll consider it a success. On to tonight!

Trae

Bam

Luka

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.

Coby White did lead in ownership. Dellavedova and Derrick White both were in the top ten. Only 8.91% were burned by Baynes. On to tonight!

Mike Scott

Trae Young
