Draftkings versus Fanduel...

[JoeyBagels]

Good luck, Joey. How did you do last night?

Didn't cash last night.

[tecmoslayer]

I have been absolutely tearing up Fanduel NBA so far. I made a $25 deposit opening night and have turned it into $210. I have a unique lineup tonight. The TOP lineup is my serious lineup

[The Giant]

Keep up the good work, slayer. Share some of those winning lineups with us!

No offense, but I wouldn't call that tearing it up.

I made 180 in last two nights in profit and I feel like I got robbed. I play minimal amounts of lineups compared to the grinders who put 200 or more lineups in a single tourney and i feel like I need to change my approach to compete for real money. If 200 bux makes you happy, more power to you.

[The Giant]

Jesus. What a douche.

[sourtwist]

Jesus. What a douche.

I see that things are back to normal.

Teague
Conley
Ellis
Korver
Green
Parsons
Millsap
Gasol
Gasol

[The Giant]

Good luck, CWD.

I think I'm going to roll with this:

Lowry
Conley
Oladipo
E Gordon
Gallinari
Morris
A Davis
Randle
Koufus

Looks like you, me, and KLC have a lot of overlapped players.

276.9 with this team. Not bad.

How did you guys do?

My team ended up scoring 297 points
I won 12 out of 22 H2Hs and I cashed all my GPPs
I made about 50 bucks tonight
That bottom team I had was a straight rip from fantasy pros draft optimizer and it was a terrible team I think it only scored 203 but I had that in only 1 contest

Thread maker right here

[THam12]

Had a solid night on FD. My cash lineup put up 310.

Also for 20th and 21st In $2 late night tourney for $76 profit. ($5 and $10 touenry were full).

Overall profited around $280 tonight.

Tomorrow is the big slate, will enter minimally.

297.2, ended up down $1 for the night, talk about a grind

[Mr KLC]

I had 268.70 last night. After looking at the winners' lineups last night, I noticed a couple of things. If you had Andre Drummond, you had pure gold last night. Monster game. Second thing I noticed really peaked my curiosity. Most of the Top 10 had Evan Fournier in their lineup. 15.5% of the players on Fanduel chose him. Fournier never really had a special game this year until last night. It's picks like these that are keeping me from making money. Fournier had 44 points last night, and the better players saw this coming. What did they see that I missed?

[JoeyBagels]

Evan Fournier has been getting more minutes in the Orlando Magic rotation. They probably noticed that and his increased usage vs. a defensively weak Pelicans back court.

[JoeyBagels]

Some potential sleepers/fillers for tonight
PG: TJ McConnel, Matthew Dellavedova, Mo Williams
SG:Evan Fournier, Kent Bazemore,Rodney Hood, Nik Stauskus,Marcus Thornton
SF:Corey Brewer, TJ Warren, Al-Faroque Aminu
PF:Myles Turner, Kristaps Porzingus
C:Kosta Koufos, Festus Ezeli, Amir Johnson, Steven Adams

I had lineups in the 260's, up to 277 and shot a blank for the night across the board. This is absolutely one of the he hardest ways to make money, I don't care how much time you put into this. Unless we are willing to invest 500 or 1k per night, we are dead money trying to win the lottery. Once I realized this reality, this has become a fun and cheap hobby that is giving me a chance to win some decent money.

Add Jerryd Bayless, Hollis Thompson

[Mr KLC]

I don't like it at all.

I wasn't too mesmerized with it either. Trying a different approach. My other way had me on the outside looking in. Playing low dollar contests, so it won't kill me if it doesn't work out.

[Mr KLC]

Add Jerryd Bayless, Hollis Thompson

Definitely like the upside of Hollis Thompson and Nik Stauskas. Covington is out the next 2 weeks and the Milwaukee Bucks defense has been non existent. They allow over 110 points a game along with the highest 3 point percentage in the league. Also the Bucks opponents have a 46.7% field goal percentage, 7th worst in the league. These guys will be getting the minutes, and come at a good price.

[JoeyBagels]

If MCW ends up playing tonight I might swap TJ McConnel for Bayless and Aminu for middleton.

Good analysis.
Agree.
Staukus looked very involved last time out.
And he will only go up.
Just hope Giannis isn't anywhere near guarding him, cause that will be huge trouble.

i think this is where the syndicates or guys with 100s or 1000s of lineups just play tons of combinations. thats what makes it tough to win imo. drummond was going up against thin pacers line with injuries, i read that really late in day wished i had read it sooner made a very good center a lock for a great night. i had drummond and almost 300 didnt get me shit

[MoeSedway]

Anybody else playing in the $20/$1 million on DraftKings, or are you guys all FanDuel grinders?

I hate DK basketball. Prices usually mediocre and makes it too easy to make a team. Thus, lots of variance.

Drummond is partially variance too. Ian Mahinmi suffered a back injury 5 minutes into the game and he was their only good defensive big man. Myles Turner/Lavoy Allen/Jordan Hill spent the rest of the game covering him.

Jabari Parker is back so he should see 15-20 minutes at PF. That means Giannis moves back to SF during those times which is defacto guarding Thompson since he's played there in most of the lineups.

If you're playing in the top heavy contests Giannis almost has to be faded with every lineup since he's close to 60%-70% owned. In the 50-50's it doesn't matter as much. Fanduel should just increase the salary on him already.

[JoeyBagels]

Marcus Smart out tonight - Evan Turner gets MP boost most likely
Derick Favors flu - Might be out and Trevor Booker gets MP boost.
Kyle Korver out - Thabo Sefelosha is back though so any gains will be split by him and Bazemore.
Ian Mahinmi out - Likely Jordan Hill gets a MP boost.

[MoeSedway]

I've got a decent amount of exposure to the Phoenix back court in my GPP lineups. Suns and Kings are both top 10 in pace and the Rondo/McLemore combo has been getting exposed on the defensive end. I'm expecting both Knight and Bledsoe to put up 20+ points each and have decent non-scoring #s. Also expecting this game to fly a bit under the radar with some of the other high-profile matchups which could keep them a bit underowned.

[JoeyBagels]

Darren Collision might be starting instead of McLemore. Also Rondo has reverted to I can't shoot Rondo.

[MoeSedway]

CJ Miles OUT.

[SBRMAN23]

stuckey good option with so many pacers banged up maybe

[The Giant]

Bayless is starting. MCW is out.

[Goat Milk]

It's all about 1 on 1 matchups guys, remember this, analyze it, and you will be successful in fanduel
