Not a huge fan of this lineup. Entered in a couple

$16 multi, $10 multi, $11 Double or nothing, and $22 DoN

Yesterday +705

Basically break even day(Pekovic injury/clunker really killed me). Lost both multis -$26 but just hung on and cashed both Double/Nothing. Plus $30
So made a grand total of $4 (better than losing).

4$ is better than a stick in the eye! i think the problem is, although you balled out and got lebron and kobe on the same team, otherwise you had a lot of lower tier guys...it seems like when you won big the first time you had a really good balance of solid guys who can go off on any given night, but not relying completely on superstars...just my 2 cents, good luck man!

I agree, wasnt really a big fan of yesterdays lineup.

Today trying to figure out why John Wall is so cheap despite the fact there playing Denver in what should be a pretty high paced game.

MexicanStallion · 01-18-13, 04:02 PM

Good luck Downsouth. This can be a fun thread to check back on and see how you do. Hopefully you pull out some more big wins.

Zbo won't be playing...Speights is a nice value spot.

Good luck it gets very time consuming .

downsouth · 01-18-13, 05:24 PM

Lance Stephenson, Jarrett Jack, Devin Harris, or Ramon Sessions at the 2?

Also, what do you think about John Wall at $3500 playing against Denver. Gotta figure he breaks at least 20 fp on draftkings which I assume is pretty good at his price point and has some decent upside.

I think Wall is a great pick at that price. not sure why they dropped his value so much.

Im not sold on Stephenson, outside his two big games vs CHA he hasn't been great, Harris has the most upside as ATL seems to give the 2 guys who are playing the best the most time between Harris/Williams/TEague.

mrsolodolo21 · 01-18-13, 06:05 PM

Wall is a no-brainer on DK tonight. Take advantage of the off price.

vladfan · 01-18-13, 07:45 PM

Wall has only played in 3 games after coming back from injury. Wait a week and his salary will be up to $8,000. He's a great play at that price.

BigDeem5 · 01-19-13, 01:38 AM

You had to cash, DS.

Nice lineup. I got rolled with everyone getting KD. Jrue Holliday was worth it but Tyreke Evans was a dud

Grits n' Gravy · 01-19-13, 05:11 AM

Durant went crazy.

playersonly69 · 01-19-13, 05:38 AM

I will admit that it is really fun playing everyday.

But I will mainly wait for baseball

Yeah, Was really close to being a monster night. Toward middle/end of fourth quarter I was into top and close to 1st with Durant, Ibaka and Westbrook still. Everyone ahead of me had Durant but none of them had Westbrook/Ibaka. Unforntunately, only durant was doing anything at end of 4th and especially in OT. Finished 4/42 in the $16 (5 points out of first) and 8th out 210 in the $27(roughly 16 out of first). Won a little cash but 1st in the $27 was $1K. Oh well, onto the next day.

Roughly +$100 yesterday.

+810 Overall so far.

Noles1992 · 01-19-13, 11:33 AM

Dsouth, That was a nice find on Wall for the price on DraftKings. He is up to 7000 on Fanduel. Had a 330 last night myself and still only grabbed 17th place in a 120 man game. GL today

Yeah, there were plenty of big scores last night. Not many duds from big money players and most of the "value" picks that alot were taking performed well.

Good luck yourself, I will probably try out fanduel once I get this draftkings thing down.

Noles1992 · 01-19-13, 03:29 PM

I hear ya, the thing I found tough was the different scoring options on each site. Confusing myself sometimes. The benefits are the different values on some of the players. BTW many of the sites dont let you change the lineup after the first game starts, this one of the best things DKINGS has going for them IMO. The nights I play on DKINGS, I will post my lineup over hear instead of my other thread, if thats ok.

This tonight changed it up due to late scratches:

Anybody received a payout from Draftkings or know how the process works?

Davis getting hurt in 2nd quarter stopped that first lineup from possibly being a monster. Guy had 26.5 points in 15 minutes.
