My bad. I got rocked last night. I try to do my best to not copy you guys exactly...and its the one or two players I make different that F it up for me. Mother effing NBA is killing me. I either need to copy you guys...or make my lineups without the influence of online resources.
I think your reasoning was sound, but with Redick getting hurt, the Pacers were able to pretty much keep Blake contained and not have to worry about the shooters killing them. I was pretty pissed that I played Noel when I had Mirotic in at first, but then Mirotic actually got hurt and didn't return, so I did improve my roster by switching them out, but man Noel's 15 total really was what I felt was my biggest setback last night. Can't dwell on the duds. Tonight is a new night. I'm ready to rock **** on this small slate.
Who would you rather roster tonight: Booker, Stuckey, Cory Joseph, or Justise Winslow? FantasyLabs recommended Stuckey last night, but I just didn't like it although I should have done it. He finished with 29.5 points. I just think he's too streaky to trust since he relies on points scored for his production. Joseph was solid last night and he's been seeing starter minutes off the bench lately. Booker is going to probably see 28+ minutes. He's had some nice production when he's seen a lot of minutes.
I think Booker is the best bet. He had like 40+ points last time when he played for the rested Favors. Favors will likely start at C with Booker at PF. Their other bigs are pretty much garbage in Lyles and Withey
I like Booker and Joseph equally. Toronto favored by 9.5, so maybe Joseph will get a few additional minutes if Lowry is resting in the 4th.
Yeah I'm leaning toward Joseph and Booker tonight. I don't like Winslow's game logs. He's consistently around 15 points, but very limited upside. Stuckey just seems too risky. Joseph has been getting 30+ minutes the last 3 games and they are facing Denver tonight who allow the most fantasy points to opposing guards. I'm going a little contrarian with Westbrook tonight. Miami has been pretty solid against PGs, but Russ is going to get his and you can't deny his upside. I think a lot of other people will look at Durant and PG as their stud plays tonight.
Going with Cory Joseph Gerald Green Paul George Derrick Favors Ian Mahimni Tony Parker DeMarcus Cousins Trevor Booker I like Booker, Joseph, and Stuckey quite a bit and I'd rank them in that order.
Yeah last night was a night for the contrarians. I saw DraftCheat post his lineups and he avoided all chalk and netted 50k last night. That was as bad as a night as I've ever had. 3 out of 8 players completely bombed and Westbrook/Cousins both well under projected. 191. Yeesh.
Well after 8 straight days of winning in cash, last night was finally my downfall. Have to expect a regression to the mean at some point. Tonight going with: B Knight W Matthews Sefolosha T Jones Drummond Wall J Dudley T Evans
Didn't get a chance to check in earlier. I went with: Wall Harden Dudley Leuer Drummond Bayless Sefolosha Beverley
Dangit, couldn't get a lineup in today because of my schedule. I had a rough week of NBA, so I think I might just load up for Sunday….and by load up, Im talking $40, haha.
Sooo…what are we picking for NFL? :grin: I like Cam, Fitz, or Cutler at QB. I like D. Johnson, DeAngelo, or McCoy at RB. I like Jeffery, Antonio Brown, Julio, Amendola or Decker at WR. I like Olsen or Chandler at TE. I like the Bears or Redskins DEF (I go for cheap, value plays).
Heaviest exposure at qb for me is cam followed by cutler for gpp. Rb I like David Johnson, Deangelo, Rawls, Draughn Wr I like Julio, obj, Alshon at the high end. Decker at the lower end but I'll be paying up. Te I like chandler Washington defense at low end, patriots or bengals at high.
Main cash lineup: Cam D. Johnson D. Williams Julio Antonio Amendola Olsen Chandler Redskins GPP lineup: Cutler (avg ownership) Freeman (low ownership, hoping he goes back to his old stats) D. Johnson (chalk) Jeffery (chalk) Hopkins (low ownership percentage on FanDuel, so assuming same with DK) Marvin Jones (Eifert out, hoping for a random big game) Olsen (chalk) John Brown (Same as Jones, going for a hail mary) Redskins
