saw that antic was starting 10 minutes before lock. didn't realize how bad it was until the broadcast started though.

guess i need to upgrade my twitter feed. aside from Millsap having the flu, thoughts on my LU? i wanted to stack Porter and Pierce at SF but had the extra cash so just paid up for Carroll. was Teague an obvious play today? https://www.fanduel.com/contest/12556918/scoring/lineup/176660146/

teague or curry were both options. i personally liked allen the best of the 2nd SG options after beal, but klay/bazemore were both options as well. i avoided klay due to allen shutting him down the first few games but he did well tonight. zbo/gasol/otto/sessions were automatic plays, carroll or pierce were both fine

thanks! almost had it right :s i knew Teague was a reasonable option just didn't know if he was like a must-play or something and i didn't realize it. i was considering Courtney Lee too at SG.

Dunno if anyone else is even still playing NBA but i'll post my lineups anyway..on FD: https://www.fanduel.com/contest/12577180/scoring/lineup/177136193,177189170/

PG: Rose, Rivers

SG: Harden, Redick

SF: James, Ariza

PF: Gibson, Mirotic

C: Howard

Kind of surprised Gibson wasn't higher-owned with Gasol out, I was expecting at least 50-60%+. Mirotic was pretty bad but still managed to hit value. Feel a little dirty taking Harden instead of making room for Griffin given how the playoffs have gone, but Gibson/Mirotic seemed like close to auto-plays at PF and Rockets have started doubling Griffin more. Don't love Rivers at his new price of $4.2k but CP3 is still supposed to be on a minutes restriction and maybe Rivers will be emboldened after last game. Terry has to be better value at 3.1k but had the extra cap space.

Similar at SF with Ariza, I wanted to go with Dunleavy but had so much extra cap space, luckily Dunleavy sucked today. Also wanted to get Butler instead of Redick, but even if I took the cheaper options of Dunleavy/Terry I still couldn't afford him without making some other changes in my LU. Briefly thought about going with someone besides Howard for C, but knew he'd be high-owned and didn't want to risk fading him, also read an interview somewhere where Mchale said they were going to try to feed him the ball more. Too bad Noah/Mozgov crushed today.

DK lineup: https://www.draftkings.com/contest/gamecenter/6302124?uc=82358886

PG: Rose

SG: Redick

SF: James

PF: Gibson

C: Howard

G: Brewer

F: Mirotic

Util: Thompson

Made DK at last minute but had a somewhat similar lineup there with a couple differences due to different format/prices, main adjustment being no Harden. Thought about taking Blake since he's cheaper there but decided not to.

won all entries on FD, lost all entries except for one on DK. for some reason Howard was significantly lower-owned on DK despite there being two potential C spots (inc. Util) compared to one for FD, so his blow-up hurt a lot more there.

got buried yesterday. one of worst days of whole season. had taj+mirotic+blake+dwight almost everywhere, no deandre, lots of shump+smith, just an all around awful day for everyone i chose.

i'm probably swearing off Harden for rest of playoffs unless his price drops, Clippers seem like they handle his flaky foul crap pretty well. i think my FD lineup did about as good as a lineup w/Howard and Harden could've done, DK was a lot of fail. also beat: i can no longer enter Beginner 50/50's on DK

can't decide if i want to chase Nene or not tonight...i know his numbers last game were probably mostly due to Antic starting and Millsap being terrible, but still seems like it could give him some momentum or something...hrm.

decided against Nene, can't decide whether i like

Curry / Bazemore - think has slightly more average value but also more inconsistent and potential to ruin my lineup

or

Teague / Allen - leaves slightly more on table i think, but probably more reliable

think i have the rest figured out

edit: decided on Teague/Allen https://www.fanduel.com/contest/12606381/scoring/lineup/177631069/

PG: Teague, Sessions

SG: Beal, Allen

SF: Porter, Barnes

PF: Millsap, Randolph

C: Gasol

2nd edit: actually put Nene in my DK lineups at Util....

DK lineup is: Beal, Sessions, Teague, Porter, Barnes, Randolph, Gasol, Nene (no Millsap)

fucking all the tilt today, why did Curry and Draymond need to be in the game up 20 with under 3 mins left? ffs

looked like a reasonably comfortable win across the board most of the night, Curry caught fire which was not unforeseeable but seemed like my lineup was going to weather the storm...ended up bubbling most FD entries by a fraction of a point. cashed in a few.

cashed all DK games but had more action on FD, so finished down on the night. die Steve Kerr (and Joerger for not conceding earlier). wouldn't have even mattered if Millsap didn't get in foul trouble other game. DFS is the devil.

aww man thank god i stopped playing nba. Don't miss silly coach decisions lol

yeah pretty annoying but what can you do.

apparently Pau is a game-time decision tonight, which makes things tricky imo.

Pau is confirmed out. What makes things tricky is Thibs lack of predictable rotations and trying to guess if either team tonight will hack and how the other coach will react to it.

yeah just saw the latest update that he's out now, earlier Chicago beat-writer had him as game-time decision. feel good again about at least Mirotic @ 2k on FD. CP3 price down on DK almost the same as Rose, starting to make him tempting again, haven't actually put together any lineups yet. aghh better get started lol.

pretty tempting to pile on the Chi/Cle game and pick as many players from that as possible, guessing that's what a lot of people will be doing. pretty weird Mirotic is almost double his FD price on DK.

somehow i keep ending up with Harden in my lineups....damnit LOL

FD - https://www.fanduel.com/contest/12628974/scoring/lineup/178097425,178105464/

PG: Rose / Terry

SG: Harden / Butler

SF: James / Ariza

PF: Thompson / Mirotic

C: Mozgov

DK - https://www.draftkings.com/contest/gamecenter/6340359?uc=83013335

Butler, Rivers, Ariza, Thompson, Noah, Harden, Gibson, Mozgov.

probably some recency bias getting on Noah/Mozgov but my thinking was that Howard would be significantly lower-owned so if he has a big game it doesn't hurt as much...and Deandre shouldn't look quite as good assuming Howard doesn't get thrown out again, although obviously Mchale's decision to foul or not complicates things. with Harden....i just don't think the other SG's are all that reliable, and his price is down a bit.

other than that: not crazy paying 4700 for Austin Rivers on DK, just another spot where i liked the rest of my lineup and he kind of fit in at the end. i think Blake is overpriced on FD @ 11.6k but i might regret not taking him @ 10.4k on DK.

won FD easily despite Mozgov's disaster of a game, lost DK, again more action on FD so finished up this time. didn't bother watching 4th quarter of Rockets/Clips because of all the foul crap

Despite the slow start and terrible Sunday, I've done well in the playoffs. But it has still been frustrating to be on the wrong side of DeAndre vs Dwight almost every game this series.

here were my lineups from yesterday, should help you get a good idea of what to play in a couple days since the prices don't seem to change much anymore.

ran 2 DK teams, first was much bigger, hence my bitching about deandre vs howard:
PG Derrick Rose Q 45.25 lock
SG Jimmy Butler 47.75 lock
SF Trevor Ariza 44 lock
PF Taj Gibson 17.75 lock
C Joakim Noah 26.25 lock
G Iman Shumpert 32.75 lock
F Terrence Jones 17.25 lock
UTIL DeAndre Jordan 34.75

PG Derrick Rose Q 45.25 lock
SG Jimmy Butler 47.75 lock
SF Trevor Ariza 44 lock
PF Taj Gibson 17.75 lock
C Joakim Noah 26.25 lock
G Corey Brewer 21 lock
F Terrence Jones 17.25 lock
UTIL Dwight Howard 46.25

i saw terrence jones wasnt starting about 20 minutes before rockets/clippers started, but was unable to change anything since brewer is an SG on DK and josh smith was more expensive.

FD main team: rose, terry, butler, shumpert, lebron, barnes, mirotic, blake, noah

made 4 other teams on FD, mostly for GPPs, but ran a few in cash as well. don't remember them all off the top of my head, but i was all in on rose/lebron, 1 had cp3, 2 terry, 1 prigioni, 2 harden, 3 shumpert, 2 butler, and had some dunleavy, ariza, taj, terrence, deandre, dwight. had no thompson and no mozgov. dont think they should be owned at this point.

nice, noticed you were one of the few people on Shumpert last couple games. i always get Dunleavy wrong, he sucks when i play him and puts up good #s when i don't.

my DK lineup was kinda retarded last night, i always do FD first and when i get to DK it's like 10 mins before tipoff. like i get the FD prices ingrained, then seeing the DK numbers makes me panic and get fancy play syndrome or something lol.

regarding Thompson/Mozgov, my rationale was this: would have preferred Noah/Gibson, but can't have more than 4 Bulls and felt getting Rose/Butler/Mirotic was a bigger priority. i didn't think Mozgov's floor would be that low though, figured he'd still be good for 15 even on a bad day, def made a mistake there.

kinda surprised you don't like Thompson though, he's been solid in the playoffs, Houston's PFs are unreliable, Gibson's value seems better but Thompson should still net more points if you have that bit of extra space. i dunno, i was on Blake during his rampage but with his price going up and Houston doubling him more aggressively i thought he had lost his value, guess i need to re-consider.

btw is shocae on FD the same person as twoshae from poker?
