yeah i considered Lopez and agree with your logic, he's a bit pricier than Kanter at 8.5k to Kanter's 7.4k on Fanduel, and Vegas props have them getting roughly equal (fantasy) points so i went with Kanter.

little worried i overreacted to Gibson news putting Mirotic in, think i like the rest of my picks :s

edit: Gibson starting, fack. whatever ~_~

Rough first period for everyone on my team. One guy scored a goal, but everyone was pretty much inactive. If they don't turn it around for the second period, then the two late games tonight will end up giving everyone else a bunch of points. I was gonna make a second team, but the game filled up before I thought of it.

----------

Islanders scored a clean goal in the second period, then scored a third goal that was a fluke. Since I have the Capitals on 80% of my team, I basically lost already before the night has begun. To have a chance at breaking event, the Capitals would have to score 3 more goals without letting the Islanders score another goal.

zZzZzZz

Spurs totally slowrolled the Pelicans tonight. edit: surprised Pels held on the way the 4th started

tough break Miami failing their tank attempt

i resisted the urge to make a late-night lineup, i just couldn't come up with anything i liked. regular lineup did well and won all the 50/50's it entered, lost a very close HU to one of the super-regs.

pretty pumped for playoffs :o

dam 350 last night and obv everyone puts up 400+ again lol.

Im going to be playing mlb cash games. Dunno how I should split up btw 50/50's and HU's. I get sad when i put up nice heads up scores and lose to great ones knowing if if i would have just played all 50's i would have cashed 100% of them. But I did have the nights where i failed in 50's and still won some heads up. I'm sure some sort of combo of them is ideal.

had a completely dead all day lineup with whiteside+chalmers for 15% of my buyins....and still have a 35% ROI on the night. damn im gonna miss NBA. fuck baseball

I'm taking no prisoners today. DraftKings is gonna fill my e-wallet whether they like it or not.

I'll be rolling with 3 fantasy teams.

i dont understand MLB, all my guys are getting negative points so far

guys is MLB better-suited for GPP? can you still grind cash there?

You can grind cash. i think its more swingy though from what ive been reading. Dunno I notice the same ppl top of my 50/50's every day so far so it doesnt seem that swingy to me lol.

thing i like is that u ur guy can put up 0 and ur still live :O

cool, guess i will try to figure it out then. i guess i picked a shitty night to start baseball with today's slate. i entered a PGA lineup on DK for lols, and lols were delivered. currently 5527/5750 :s

Speith
Furyk
Todd
Huh
Choi
Weekley

and BASEBALL:

P: Bumgarner
C: D'Arnaud
1B: Belt
2B: Travis
3B: Asche
SS: Reyes
OF: Cuddyer
OF: Granderson
OF: Jennings

relied pretty heavily on looking for other's advice since i know jackshit about baseball

update: baseball lineup is 100th place out of 100

ive been getting smoked in baseball so far. not sure if running bad or making awful lineups. real frustrating because its always obvious in basketball. took today off, needed a day to unwind after nba regular season ended. will play tomorrow all day im sure and will post my uneducated thoughts as i go

I feel asleep before lineup lock. 1 of my guys isnt even playing :D

picking guys who dont play would be a solid improvement for me, at least they can't get negative #s T_T

i miss basketball -_-

how's the hockey grind Puerto Rican? seems like it would be similarly tilting to baseball

update: my hitters suck and are 0-17 combined, they can't even get walked or hit by pitches

Nah, hockey is less tilting than baseball. For starters, baseball is just a shitty game all around.

My main goalie is trailing by one goal, but he's only halfway through the game, so we'll see how it goes. Other than the goalie, it's still too early to say how I'm doing, since I spread my teams around tonight. I won't know how I'm doing until an hour from now.

----------

The second night in a row and I pick the wrong goalie... Both nights, the goalie I picked was the better goalie overall, but I noticed both of them made small mistakes that cost them the game. Obviously it's a team sport, but whatevs.

My first team is dead, but I still have hope with my other two teams.

There's a lot less goals being scored so far in the playoffs, so I'll have to keep that in mind for my picks tomorrow.

heh i feel ya. right now i have 7.75 pts and losing everything haha. Pitcher hasnt pitched yet though so hopefully he strikes out the world. Seems like a lot of low scores tonight in general. Guess i was a pretty small slate.1 of my gpp lineups is cashing at least. Although its a min cash but something is better than nothing lol.
