ran 2 FD lineups:
tyreke, lin, derozan, joe johnson, otto porter, casspi, drew gooden, pau, boogie
and a 2nd one with elfrid payton in for tyreke, the rest the same.

for FD, otto/casspi/gooden were must plays. boogie was close, but vuc was acceptable as well.

lots of PG options. liked conley, lin, payton, tyreke, hill there. never like lillard and preferred clarkson on DK. reggie was an ok option as well, but preferred tyreke/payton for cheaper prices

SG: liked derozan, turner, butler, joe johnson. hated the punts there today. clee sucks, afflalo sucks, KCP left last game and is worrisome, and i didnt want to be on waiters island today.

SF: also liked wes johnson, hes been playing well last few games and big minutes.

PF: LMA was fine to pivot to from pau, and payne was a fine low priced guy

DK lineup:
PG Jordan Clarkson 0 swap out
SG Jimmy Butler 0 lock
SF Otto Porter 28.25 lock
PF Drew Gooden 22 lock
C DeMarcus Cousins 0 swap out
G Jeremy Lin 0 swap out
F Pau Gasol 0 lock
UTIL Omri Casspi 0

any particular reasons you don't like Lillard, or your projections just show he's overpriced?

any thoughts on Wiggins? i considered him tonight, actually i had him in my 4th lineup that didn't get submitted on time.

dont like lillard cause hes been in a big funk lately and is priced much higher on FD than on DK. whenever i play him its on DK. and also his big games seem few and far between so i dont even risk it when i decide to play tournament lineups. hes the worst defender in the league, so i often target point guards who face him, hence the lin/clarkson picks tonight.

didnt like wiggins tonight. kevin martin is back who has the highest usage on the twolves lately, so that should eat into wiggins scoring.

ah, wasn't aware of his price on DK. i figured playing vs the Lakers guards was a pretty ideal situation for him. also picked Clarkson in 1 LU since he doesn't play defense like you said tho.

FD :
Deron Williams
Tyreke Evans
Joe Johnson
Markel Brown
Jeff Green
Omri Casspi
Anthony Davis
Ersan Ilyasova
Nikola Vucevic

I wasn't to happy after seeing your lineup in my 50/50 daut lol.

You guys have any thoughts on kanter tonight. I know its tough mu but hes been soooo solid. Decent spread in a must win game.

also if it becomes a blowout, he won't get the minutes to be worth his price (line is -10.5 POR)

I was banking on Kevin Martin not playing for Wiggs Oh well he could still be OK

nice to see Ilyasova killing someone else's lineup too

markel brown is solid, forgot to list him at SG. most of the other punts were terrible choices though, JJ+him arent working out as of now but it was a good choice.
dwill is on some shit lately, playing very well.

blowout isnt a huge concern, particularly for the team doing the blowing out. i believe i read somewhere that on spreads of >=12.5, one team was leading by >=20 points by the end of the 3rd quarter 27% of the time. so basically 25% of the time lillard will lose 20% of his minutes. thats like a 5% reduction in fantasy value, not a ton, its tangible for sure, but not like going from 35 to 33 fantasy points ruins someone who is good value. i just dont think he was good value today.

and the blowout isnt really a concern for the lakers. esp with no ellington anymore. they just play dudes when down 30 cause why not build up talent

looks like he's picking it up after all, nice. Bargnani my only true dud so far tonight i think.

Yeah I was only posting on behalf of a blowout affecting Lillard. Thanks for that post though...interesting stuff

Sorry if any of you guys took my advice on the Nicholson/Humphries picks...I read a report earlier today from an Orlando guy that Nicholson was expected to start (never trust reports lol) & I just assumed Humphries would start because I think he's superior player to Gooden -_-

Always take my DFS advice with a grain of salt. I am still very noob but I do feel I have watched a lot more NBA than most in the past 3 years or so

nice call on jeff green

he's been pretty consistent lately but Tony Allen coming back could hurt his cause

He did good. I expected him to be a bit better though. I dunno how i did not have otto porter in my lineups tonight. He was literally screaming value and i somehow ignored it.

1st and 3rd lineups fail, 2nd lineup was success. i got really pumped after first quarter of Blazers game thinking Lillard was going to punish the doubters, then he kind of disappeared and ended up pretty meh overall.

would've been nice to be able to have 2 centers tonight. overall my low-end picks did pretty well and a few of the mid-high end ones flopped. i didn't even like Westbrook/Davis much tonight, but i ended up with each of them in a lineup because i couldn't take both Cousins and Vucevic in the same LU, i liked some of the cheap guys value, and i ended up with extra cap space, and thought they'd be good for at least 50 fantasy points a piece...which is a bit below target, but i felt i could make up with others. was surprised how poor LMA did against the Lakers though. Bargnani/Oladipo total flops.

another fun slate tomorrow

is there some place i can check player's fantasy history without checking the box score and actually converting the numbers?

I usually just click them on fanduel when im making lineup but looks like this site has it http://rotoguru1.com/cgi-bin/hstats.cgi?94d.

I know for DraftKings, you have to manually go back to the tournaments and then find the player in the list and then view their fantasy team. I can't, for example, enter a persons name in a search bar and then view their profile to see their fantasy history (they should make this feature).

For my NHL and UFC teams on DraftKings, I pull up my tournament history and find a player that way, since there's a lot of regs who play every day/every week. If there's an easier way of searching, lemme know.

cool site, i don't think it gives quite what i wanted but looks interesting nonetheless.

love Griffin tonight. i have a lineup built that i really like but it has 4.8k extra cap space T_T

edit: oops i guess it does show what i wanted, didn't mess with it enough before.

yeah, i haven't been able to find anywhere that shows each player's fantasy points for every game they've played. with all the stuff out there i think i must just be missing it because it seems like such an obvious thing to have.
