I am back! Away from the real world for two weeks and now back to it. Refreshed and ready to go!
NBA Dashboard is also another good source to help build lineups.
Looking at a 7-game slate starting at 7:00pm
The “Droppin Dimes,” article will go over my favorite plays for the slate. It will consist of three to five core plays along with some additional plays and some value plays. You will not always see the highest-priced players or the most obvious plays. The article will be the building blocks to help construct lineup/s.
NBA Dashboard is also another good source to help build lineups. Check it out here – DailyAmbush: NBA Dashboard
The Dashboard will provide projections, player ratings along with matchup and other statistics for both Ambush and me (under FB Model). The dashboard feeds the optimizer allowing users to create lineups using (Avg FPs, Ratings, FB Projections, FB Ratings, projected ownership and GPP score). This is a good tool to utilize, and it gives the user a lot of ways to mix it up.

CORE
Kyle Anderson, Minnesota Timberwolves ($5200)
With Towns out Anderson has seen an increase in minutes and has produced in all four games when playing 30 plus minutes. You are not looking at a player that is going to go out and score 30 plus points, but what he will do is contribute to all categories. A solid rebounder and passer with good defensive skills to add STOCKS. Also, he gets an excellent matchup tonight against the Blazers who rank 27th against opposing small forwards. Anderson is coming off a 32.5 FP game against this same team.

Trent Forrest, Atlanta Hawks ($3100)
Forrest is like a free square tonight. He is $3100 and should play 30 plus minutes tonight. Bogdanovic has been rules out so this will only increase his value. A chalky play, but allows you to pay up for other options.
Rudy Gobert, Minnesota Timberwolves ($7200)
Let’s take a look at the last three games from Gobert- 54, 40 and 48 FP games. Averaging 21 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block and 2 steals in that timeframe. Gobert is known as an excellence rebounder and elite defender, but has stepped up his scoring some with Towns off the floor. I just see him as being underpriced for his current role and expect some big games for the Wolves coming off a loss to the Blazers.
