A 3 game slate tonight brings a cheat sheet.
A few ways to build lineups. Take players from the cheat sheet/coreand build you own, take the core or a few players from the cheat sheet and pop them into the optimizer or use some players from this article and the NBA Dashboard to build. Last night I build two lineups. First one was four of the core players plus the Dime Play (Montrezl Harrell) and locked those into the optimizer. That generated a 380 FP Draftkings lineup that took down a 700+ player contest and it would have taken down most last night. The second was all the players from the article which hit 353.5 and came in 6th place out of 1800 players.
Notes:
The Bucks have already ruled out Jrue Holiday and Brook Lopez. They offer a good amount of value tonight with Pat Connaughton, Grayson Allen, Jordan Nwora, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, and Sandro Mamaukalshvili.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is in play just about every night. Bam has done a solid job on him defensively , so I am taking the chance and limiting my exposure to him tonight. I prefer paying up for Luka Doncic.
| Player | PG | SG | SF | PF | C |
| HIGH | Luka Doncic/Trae Young | Jimmy Butler | Paul George | Kristaps Porzingas/John Collins | Bam Adebayo |
| VALUE | Jordan Poole | Grayson Allen | Pat Connaughton | Jordan Nwora | Nemanja Bjelica |
| DIMES PLAY(RISK/REWARD) | Damion Lee | DeAndre Hunter | Luke Kennard | Thanasis Antetokounmpo | Isaiah Hartenstein |
Dimes Play
Isaiah Hartenstein- should see solid minutes off the bench for the Clippers. A 1.25 FPPM players last year who had a good preseason averaging 1.9 FPPM. I have him projected for between 15-20 minutes and 23.5 FPs. A good return.
CORE
Jimmy Butler- under priced on DraftKings
Jordan Nwora
Kristaps Porzingas- too cheap on DraftKings
Isaiah Hartenstein – played very well in preseason 1.9 FPPM – Pivot to Sandro Mamaukalshvili is an option.
Good Luck!
