Last night was certainly strange. The Kings pushed the Warriors to the limit. The Lakers came back and beat the Rockets. My two bets got crushed. I did terrible on DK. I won 90% of my cash games on FD, but the GPP cash line was almost the same. There was one silver lining on an otherwise meh night. Draft.com sent me a free $22 ticket to their welcome back NBA GPP. There were 7 people per draft and you have to beat those 7 to advance.
I ended up with the third pick and took Lebron. I thought the guard position was deep considering 14 of them would get drafted. I really wanted to get two of the better forward plays and one of five centers. In round two I ended up picking Tobias Harris. This worked out well. I waited on guard and landed Chris Paul in round three. Homerun pick. The key to me winning my group though was Al Horford in round four. He outscored everyone on my team. I finished with Caris LeVert who, as you know from yesterday’s write up, I loved. He busted, but my team did not. I advanced and now get to do it again today. Need to win the group tonight for a shot at any real money.
In terms of wagers tonight I have my eyes on two games. I really like the Thunder tonight against the Jazz. OKC lost in their last game before the break and are healthy. They even added Markief Morris, which should bolster the second unit. This Jazz team crushed the Thunder in the playoffs last year and I think RWB remembers that. I am laying the 4.5.
I played Buffalo the other night and get a chance to do it again. Buffalo will be on ESPN2 tonight and as I said last week, they are much better at home. I will lay the 15.5 and watch Buffalo drop 80+ again!
I have one crazy wager for tonight. It is an 8 team NBA Money Line Parlay (With Buffalo). I know, that seems insane, but hear me out. Post break it is time to target teams that are trying to lose. I think it is a good night to take advantage of that. Throw $20 and you can collect around $340.
Charlotte
Indiana
Orlando
Toronto
Minnesota
Detroit
Denver
OKC
Buffalo (CBB)
This Pays +1706!!!
DFS tonight is odd because of the Memphis situation. It certainly seems like the Grizzlies will only have 3-4 front court players. In the year of 2019, it may be Joakim Noah night. Noah and Ivan Raab are going to be great plays. Then we must follow our normal rule of stacking against the Atlanta Hawks and we basically have a nice lineup from there. (Reggie Jackson, pick a SG, Blake, Drummond)
Good luck everyone!
