so i was inspired by Daut's blogpost to piss away some money on NBA DFS. i've never played any other type of fantasy leagues, yesterday was my first day learning the rules, making a lineup, etc. so i'm terrible, but the sweat was really fun. dunno if there's enough interest on LP for a thread but it's worth a shot.

so anyway i've decided to try the FanDuel 50/50's and HU games.

+ Show Spoiler +



last night i was off to a great start with Cousins and D. Williams on my team, but things went south when Leonard was having a great game but sat half the 2nd half (i knew Pop would rest the old ppl but i thought Kawhi would get more playing time). i also had Danny Green just because it was close to game time, i had a slot to fill, getting him maxed out my salary cap so i just randomly picked him without thinking, ended up being a complete waste of a pick and i fell just short of cashing.

tonight not nearly as many games, still don't really have a good feel for how many minutes some guys will get. for Cavs/Heat i like Wade, i heard he was questionable with an illness or something, but he seems like an obvious choice given the situation. any opinions on Lebron? seems like it would be a contrarian play since the game doesn't mean as much for the Cavs and there's some chance of a blowout, but i've heard some people touting him this game. seems like if he gets 3 solid quarters he could be an ok play, idk. interested in Irving if Love sits, not thrilled with his price tho. and Irving sits Dellavadova should be good value as a cheapie.

Rockets/Mavs i potentially like a lot of guys, i think Harden will be a solid choice again, i like Parsons too. maybe even Rondo/Ellis/Ariza. Howard is supposed to start apparently, no idea how the minutes will pan out with him/T. Jones/Josh Smith. i like Chandler but not as much as Brandan Wright from a value standpoint and you only get 1 center.

Warriors/Suns - looks like Draymond Green is getting rested this game so Speights/Lee could be decent cheaper options. also think Marcus Morris i feel like Curry should torch the suns, but i just have no clue how many minutes he'll get, especially considering likeliness of a blowout. would also probably have to downgrade another position to fit him in the salary cap. also like Wright as mentioned above since Alex Len is out. dunno what to think about Bledsoe, i think he's too inconsistent to pick for a format like 50/50 though.

current lineup that i need to change since i have 3.2k extra cap space:

Rondo (6.2k)
Livingston (3.8k)
Harden (11.5k)
Wade (7.5k)
Ariza (6.4)
Parsons (6.5k)
Lee (4.5k)
Marcus Morris (5.8k)
Wright (4.6k)

(can find all player values for tonight's games at http://www.rotowire.com/daily/nba/value-report.htm )

i want to upgrade Livingston but my options are Curry/Irving/Dragic/Chalmers. Chalmers i'm not sure is even really an upgrade, Dragic has been aids lately and said himself he's not 100%, and i can't afford Curry or Irving without making a move somewhere else.

well that got longer than i intended lol. anyone else playing?

ended up making 3 different lineups, 2 h2h's and one 50/50:

LU 1:

Curry
Livingston
Harden
Wade
Ariza
Parsons
Speights
Marcus Morris
Wright

LU 2:

Curry
Rondo
Ellis
Harden
Barnes
Parsons
Lee
Marcus Morris
Wright

LU 3:

Rondo
Chalmers
Wade
Harden
Ariza
Parsons
Morris
Morris
Wright

couldn't decide how likely Curry was to play full minutes. completely clueless still but have a feeling this DFS stuff is going to be like crack

Hard to beat the rake with only 3 games on the slate. Not many games left for NBA but baseball!

looks like i may be on the receiving end of another vigorous raping, ffs Wade and Parsons

yeah im sure it makes more sense to get in at the beginning of a season, i just don't have much interest in baseball

Cool thread to make. For all of us noobs who aren't crushers like Mr. Daut

Would be nice to bounce different lineups & ideas off each other. I'm dreading the fact that NBA will be over soon and that the only sport will be baseball but maybe this thread can turn into a continuation of DF for that.

I did a few lineups for tonght...feel free to critique as I am also a super fish in DFS...

Lineup 1:

PG's: Rondo & Dragic

SG's: Harden & Thompson

SF's: Brewer & Lebron

PF's: T. Thompson & Mo Speights

C: Brandan Wright

Lineup 2:

PG's: Kyrie & Rondo

SG's: Monta & Thompson

SF's: Lebron & PJ Tucker

PF's: T. Jones & David Lee

C: Wright

Lineup 3:

PG's: Prigioni & Rondo

SG's: Thompson & Harden

SF's: Lebron & PJ Tucker

PF's: T. Thompson & T. Jones

C: Brandan Wright

can definitely post any sport, i may end up watching baseball/hockey just because of DFS lol. what game format did you enter those in? i didn't trust Thompson but looks like he's having a real solid night.

Wade going out really slayed the 2 lineups i had him in. really surprised James was still playing the end of 4th with 20+ point lead. add in Harden's underwhelming performance and looks like 0-3 tonight for me t.t

I don't really watch NBA, but since this thread is about fantasy teams, I have 14 teams entered in the $20,000 guaranteed event on DraftKings for the UFC event this weekend: https://www.draftkings.com/contest/draftteam/5183613

IMO, this upcoming UFC card has 7 out of 10 fights that are likely to end inside the distance, and I can see at least 4-5 underdogs pulling off upsets if they bring their A-game.

Favorites I like the most: Chad Mendes and Juliana Pena
Underdogs I like the most: Liz Carmouche and Alexander Yakovlev

----------

Here's the current promotion going at DraftKings for the NBA and NHL events that have over $2 million in total prizes: https://www.draftkings.com/lp/nba-nhl-championship-week

The NBA events start tomorrow.

$3 entry with $125k prize pool (Friday): https://www.draftkings.com/contest/draftteam/4914201

that 3 game slate was meh for me. Excited for tonight. I really wish daut made that post earlier in the season because half the games now you have to worry are the players even gonna play or try as hard. I've basically just been trying to learn everything i could about mlb before it started. I wonder if im gonna be forced to watch it.. I hadn't watched nba this season before 2 weeks ago but at least i knew who people were. MLB everyone is just a name to me.

3 game slate is usually unplayable. tonight was not an exception. i played because usually i get more good HU action on these kind of days, but basically every lineup was flipping with each other. friday will be much better

yep real dumb day yesterday. basically the only way your lineup was a favorite over someone was if he passed on brandan wright. any other center choice was fishy and passing on him on other sites where he's a PF would be ludicrous, but as long as someone spent the money and rostered wright yesterday, the lineup was about a flip to win.

fun day today though. and big day, big tourney on victiv and DK tonight

I wish had an interest in football because DFS for football seems much better than for UFC.

how much am i going to hate my life if i fade RWB tonight?

edit - actually nvm think i'll just use him

I like Boogie better than RWB...cheaper price, been rested their last 2 games and playing vs Anthony Davis (certainly can be viewed in a negative sense for him) I think he will play very hard tonight

Some other guys that I like:

Kris Humphries at $4k - He will start at PF tonight with Nene being rested and they are playing the worst team in the league -_-

Greivis Vasquez at 4.1k - He also will start if Lowry is out and he's been fairly consistent when starting for such a cheap price tag

Reggie Jackson at 8.3k - his price tag has gone up but I still think he's for sure worth it tonight going up against the Bulls, whose PG's are completely depleted. I'd be pretty surprised if he doesn't go for 40+ FP's tonight

Some other quick ones I like without going into too much detail...

Nikolai Vucevic at 8.2k

Mirotic at 7.1k

Bargnani at 5.8k

Gerald Henderson at 5.6k

Andrew Nicholson at 3.5k

I faded westbrook tonight as well. ALL in on cousins tho.
I'm really liking jeff green tonight and no one else seems to. Making me think i should swap him.

i couldn't make up my mind on anything, which has been the case for everyon DFS lineup i've attempted to make so far t.t

i like Mirotic too but i thought getting enough minutes might be risky with Noah and Gibson both playing. i liked Vasquez too but somehow forgot about him and he didn't make it in any lineups for me, probably will regret that ~_~

4 lineups for me tonight:

1:

Westbrook
DWill
Jabari
Danny Green
Wes Johnson
Casspi
Ilyasova
Bargnani
Cousins

2:

Lillard
Clarkson
DeRozan
McLemore
Batum
Otto Porter
Patterson
LMA
Vucevic

3:

Lillard
Conley
Jabari
Oladipo
Otto Porter
Casspi
Ilyasova
Davis
Vucevic

ok i had a 4th lineup but apparently it didn't get added even though i submitted it with at least 7 or 8 seconds left -_-

hoping Lakers don't get completely blown out in 1st half

oh yeah i also had ZBo in a couple lineups initially but heard talk of his injury and worried he might not play or have his time limited so i decided to back off him, like his matchip tonight vs OKC though.
