Fantasy hoops lineups, second half of season

bestknownmethod · 03-01-13, 01:48 PM

So many possibilities tonight. How do you weigh the matchups? Think Curry and Horford will explode again?

bestknownmethod · 03-01-13, 01:49 PM

Which of the to dawgs are worth tonight? I feel Durant is the best right now....

jeepsguy004 · 03-01-13, 02:49 PM

A lot of value play possibilities tonight.

bestknownmethod · 03-01-13, 03:05 PM

Nice lineup Noles...I prefer Josh Smith over LeBron tonight. Too expensive against a stout Memphis team...it could work out though. He is the King.

Noles1992 · 03-01-13, 03:41 PM

Yeah Thanks, Smith is probably do for a big game with Jefferson out. and possibly if Milsaps is out tonight. TBD last I saw. Not goingt to be around for last scratches so just running those for now and some freerolls

earlier I was driving down the road and it hit me that Hawks werent even playin Utah.. No clue on what I was stating here!

bestknownmethod · 03-01-13, 10:48 PM

Doesn't matter....J Smoove is rough tonight. Going to be interesting

Noles1992 · 03-02-13, 12:11 AM

See Jeeps picked up Kanter, nice call on that guy!

vikingfan101 · 03-02-13, 01:28 AM

Scored 313.25 and 292 with my two DK lineups. The 313 barely cashed the bigger tournaments, and the 292 cashed a doubleup. Scored 287 on FD and only cashed a double up. Josh Smith really screwed me there.

Noles, that was pretty much a no brainer with Kanter after I found out Big Al was not playing. I took a look back at how Kanter performed on the season and when he played above 20 minutes he averaged double digits scoring and close to double digits rebounding Going up against Charlotte he was a must play for any fantasy team last night.

bestknownmethod · 03-02-13, 07:07 AM

How'd everyone do? Another close night of almost there for me

Me too man...he had a great matchup...oh well. Wish I doubled up on Westbrook and Durant with Kanter

jeepsguy004 · 03-02-13, 08:43 AM

Overall not too bad of a night for me. Cashed in all three of the double ups played on fanduel, cashed in two contests on draftkings, 2 on draftday and 1 on star street. I am just hoping for a repeat of that tonight.

Tweederblues27 · 03-02-13, 10:34 AM

Not as good yesterday. Only cashed in 2 and one was a $2 h2h.

switched Lowry out with lillard. A little worried about the finger and I may not be around to switch him out. Lillard has disappointed me every time I have picked him hopefully it changes today with Rubio guarding him.

bestknownmethod · 03-02-13, 10:53 AM

Think Jack is worth the risk today with how Curry has been playing? Lilliard is the safe pick against an injured battled team so I think he will rage. Personally I think Jru will be the best PG matchup wise.

Yeah your probably right.

Switched out young for Williams and jack for dwilliams

jeepsguy004 · 03-02-13, 12:21 PM

The thing I like about Jack today is that this is Golden State fourth game in five days. Last night Curry played 42 plus minutes and Jack played just a little over 18. I am wondering is the coaching staff telling us they plan on giving Curry a little bit of rest tonight and have Jack play more minutes. If you are looking at Jack today try and read up on some Golden State articles and find out if you can see if they plan on doing that since Jack could become a nice play against a Philly team who struggles with point guards.

bestknownmethod · 03-02-13, 12:45 PM

Very true which is why I asked if he may good...if he plays most of the game he could go off as he did a week ago. Lets all keep an eye on him. I really like him facing off against holiday for a lot of high end shooting...

Bro, you have got to play Monte Ellis tonight. They are committed at giving Ellis the ball max minutes. Reddick is going to eat into Jennings minutes. I also like Dante Cunningham as a viable sleeper. Its still what you feel good on and if you have insight on those picks pleas share if you don't mind. Always anxious to learn

bestknownmethod · 03-02-13, 01:37 PM

The more I read, I think Jarrett Jack will have a stellar night. Have to see what else the coaches may do.

i think I'm going to switch back to my original LU with jack in.

bestknownmethod · 03-02-13, 02:45 PM

Just read up on what's the latest...make your best judgement. I switch mine all the time until it just feels sexy...and then the games start and I throw my head in a toilet

cremice · 03-02-13, 03:07 PM

Hey guys, I'm curious as to what your strategy is for the breakdown of game types that you play. Sometimes, I like to spread my plays and vary my line up slightly just to hedge on some of my bets. For example, some nights i will play a few heads-up games and a few 50/50 double ups. I'll keep the line-up the same for all of the games except for a few just in case my primary line-up doesn't go so hot. But I'll have similar "core" players in all variations that i consider to be high confidence value plays or Lebron James.

Anyway, I just thought I'd try to help us strategize around betting strategy rather than only day to day line-up discussion (which is definitely helpful though)!

bestknownmethod · 03-02-13, 03:37 PM

50/50 you should have a safe balanced team in all positions/starters since you want to minimize risk. I usually have that strategy and it works the majority of the time.

Tournies I like to focus on deep sleepers and value plays so I can afford some of the big names that blow up. It really depends on who is injured, matchups, and how many minutes a player has recently logged.

I use rotoworld, rotogrinders, and thefakebasketball for guidance...obviously a lot of luck has to do with it, so eventually you will find what you feel is best for you.

Jeeps play close attention to Deng with his mouth injury...he is probable right now. I think he will play, at least I hope he will. Just something to look at.

bestknownmethod · 03-02-13, 04:55 PM

Ps. Nice lineups tonight. Good luck

jeepsguy004 · 03-02-13, 06:01 PM

Alright making some changes. I am going to take a gamble and put Marco Benneli in since Richard hamilton is out and I am going to put Gereald Wallace in so I can put some of the guys I like to have big nights tonight. Benelli and Wallace should be able to meet value since both guys put up decent numbers in the first two meetings.
