havent done too much research today, but be really careful with regards to atlanta hawks players today. DFS players are in an ongoing war with the hawks.

history:
-a few weeks back, the hawks were playing a late road game and about 90 minutes after fanduel lineup lock, announced that 3 of their starters (i believe carroll, millsap, teague) were out that night due to rest, something they could have mentioned hours before since it wasnt injury related. of course DFS players complained to their twitter account, and the next day the hawks release this tweet:

Yea I'm pretty over the hawks. ESp since shroeder got hurt. I like blake today as well bigred. Im wondering how much GSW is gonna rest their starters today.

edit - Deandre looks good tonight too.

yeah was thinking Deandre too, i love Biyombo's value at C tonight though, hmm. like Patterson and Marvin Williams at PF but can't have both w/Blake. was considering Redick and even Matt Barnes because o/u is so high (218.5 now) and Nuggets have worst DvP vs SF in the NBA. Barnes had solid games vs Denver their two previous matchups this year although i guess he has kind of a low ceiling. and Jamal Crawford was big in those games, so now that he's injured i'd think Redick gets some of that load.

regarding the Hawks, it kind of bothers me that they're still -9 favorites vs a hot Nets team fighting for their playoff lives. i know they're a deep system-oriented team, but does it make sense to be favored by that much if their starters were resting or playing significantly reduced minutes?

I dislike playing Spurs players in DFS as well for similar reasons that Daut just posted about the Hawks

if you guys have a lineup you like but a bunch of extra cap space, what's the limit before you go 'this is retarded, i love this lineup but i need to spend some of this money'

besides daut, i know he has a computer chip in his brain that outputs optimal lineups every night so he doesn't worry about stuff like that

I just made 2 lineups for now:

Lineup 1 ~

PG's: Elfrid Payton & Tyreke Evans

SG's: Evan Turner & Joe Johnson

SF's: Tobias Harris & Luol Deng

PF's: Blake Griffin & Illyssova

C: Biyombo

Lineup 2 ~

PG's: Elfrid Payton & Tyreke Evans

SG's: Monta Ellis & KCP

SF's: Tobias Harris & Jeff Green

PF's: Derrick Favors & Illysova

C: Marc Gasol

I try to never have any cap left over but I think if you really like a lineup and have $100-$200 in space left it's not that big of a deal

here's what i have atm, but obviously need to do some tinkering because i have 4.3k extra monies lol

PG: Tyreke Evans / D Will

SG: DeRozan / Joe Johnson

SF: Gerald Henderson / Otto Porter (wish he was playing a team not called the Grizzlies, but i'm riding this train as long as he's starting and his price stays this low)

PF: Blake / Marvin Williams

C: Biyombo

would probably look into Curry but don't trust his minutes now that they've clinched the 1-seed

I would be monitoring Otto Porter's status. I think there's a decent chance Pierce could wind up playing. I'm biased because I'm a big Grizzlies fan and watch all their games but I generally tend to stay away from anyone playing vs them. So yeah, I don't really like anyone on the Wizards tonight..

I'm not so sure about DWill tonight either. Just a pretty bad matchup (unless of course the Hawks rest all their starters lol).

I do really like Nerlens Noel although he's a bit pricey on FD - $8400. He's been a beast though and will always get tons of mins, plus he's got a super soft matchup tonight vs a banged up Charlotte

yeah i like Memphis too, i just think Porter has auto-value if he's playing close to the same minutes he has lately (will keep an eye out before tipoff). you might end up talking me out of DWill, we'll see. definitely has a tougher matchup than his last few games, i feel like Lopez numbers are more likely to drop off this game (not saying they can't both drop off of course).

Canaan is out on the 6ers so Ish Smith could have some value at 6.4k. actually think Conley is underpriced at 5.9k too...

this shits impossible, i cant make a team

If anyone wants to test out the tracking software Ryan posted in his thread, check out http://trackfantasy.herokuapp.com

It's a temp server, so it might go down depending on how many people are uploading and how many games they're uploading, just a heads up. Lastly, there's a DraftKings issue where freerolls will be counted against you (e.g. you get a ticket for referring people), there's currently no way of differentiating a DraftKings ticket and a real buyin.

Let me know what your thoughts are. I actually finished this up a month or two ago but have been focusing on other things so I haven't really done a public launch for it yet.

niceeeee. tytyty

+1 thanks panorama

here's my 1 lineup:

PG: Tyreke Evans, CP3 - don't feel great about Paul's value but i was running out of ideas to spend money on and he fit perfectly in the cap.

SG: DeRozan, Redick - ended up deciding Joe Johnson might be too volatile tonight, and i think it'll be really hard for Redick to not have at least decent numbers.

SF: Wilson Chandler, Otto Porter - Still not sure if Henderson is a better play than Wilson Chandler tonight for the same price.

PF: Blake, Patterson

C: Biyombo

Wade is playing. not touching him obviously, just surprised.

Hansbrough starting for Amir instead of Patterson...hmmm might need to change my 1st lineup

put Hickson in for Patterson, meh.

nope switching back to Patterson, he should still get some production i think

Pierce confirmed out
