The Lakers ended up not trading everyone and I decided to stay away from them. I mentioned only being interested in them if they traded their team. If you are following us on Instagram you saw we did take the Pacers, Thunder, Spurs and the Over in the Spurs game. We also parlayed them all together! The Spurs lost by 9 getting 6, so we were within three points of sweeping all of our wagers last night including hitting that parlay. It was still a positive night making money.
In terms of DFS once Kawhai was ruled out it became “what four Raptors can I jam in?” I ended up on Lowry, FVV, Powell and Ibaka on Fan Duel. Not having Siakam hurt a lot. ON DK I played those four and Siakam. Ibaka was the only Raptor that ended up busting. On Fan Duel I was able tin win 90% of my cash games and bubbled the rest. If I play Siakam over Ibaka that becomes 100%. In a few of my cash games the cash line was higher than in the single entry GPP’s. That feels very strange.
After the five Raptors on Draft Kings, I finished my lineup with Jaren Jackson Junior, Damon Lillard and Demar DeRozan. All three were fantastic and I swept all my cash games and cashed in all my GPP’s.
Tonight we appear headed for much of the same, lots of value. Many of the recently traded players won’t be playing. Keep listening for news as it rolls out.
People I am Considering Playing
- Collin Sexton – The Cavs don’t have many people in the back court.
- Dennis Smith JR – Knicks in the same boat.
- Tyler Johnson – Finally gets to be the PG of a team alone and his price will rise.
- Luke Kennard – The Pistons traded everyone in his way of significant playing time.
- Giannis – Have to spend money somewhere especially on FD.
- Bulls front court players – I’m playing whomever is active and starting. Lauri!
- Dario Saric – Too cheap and on FD can be your drop a score.
- Joel Embiid – If he is playing.
- Thomas Bryant – Depends on traded players being ready.
In terms of wagers there are three games we are looking at. Sacramento has been excellent at home. Miami has trimmed the roster and the Kings are pushing for a playoff spot. I will happily take the Kings -3. The Bulls and Nets don’t exactly play a ton of defense and the Nets are getting healthier. These two teams played about ten days ago and scored 239 points. I am playing over 224 in this one. If the Bulls don’t have enough bodies and we learn that news soon, I would also lean Nets -8.5.
The Mavs have been sneaky good against the spread especially at home. No Kris Middleton for the Bucks and Dallas should be able to hang close and be good with the +8. Lastly, just add the Warriors Money Line to every wager you make. They aren’t losing and should help your odds. A parlay of the Kings, Nets OVER, Mavs and Warriors Money Line pays +640!
