Fanduel / Draft Kings Discussion

Harden injured, not good for my lineup.

[shel311]

I'll probably finish 1st or 2nd in all of my 50/50s tonight. Plus I'm in 1st now, but should finish 2nd in a 75 person tourney, entry was $5. 2nd pays $80 so it's been one of my better nights to date.

Luckily, Harden returned and finished strong. I had 6 of 10 guys go for 34+.

[Seeitsaveit13]

Are you guys doing any DK lineups? I'd gladly tail a play or two here and there between my golf plays

[shel311]

Trendon does DK I think, not me.

[shel311]

Played a smaller tourney today with only a 2 game slate, finished 3rd outta 50. Unfortunately it was $1 and I usually put 3-5 entries in and only put 1, so it was only a $10 payout.

I am doing so poorly on FantasyUp and so well on DK. Odd.

Flipped the script yesterday, losing both DK games and sweeping FU, largely because I had Redick in both DK games and not in any FU games. Put together these lineups quickly for DK.

This is most likely to change, but current FU lineup:

Augustin
Galloway
Curry
Thompson
Melo
Covington
Bass
Monroe
Whiteside

Projection: 303.69

I wanna get Cousins in there, but that would obviously be a big change to my lineup, i'll work on it when I get home.

[shel311]

Wondering how good of an idea it is to have Curry and Klay Thompson on my squad tonight.

Also, with this crazy run I've been on for exactly 1 month now, I wish I knew if I kinda figured this out and can win consistently or if it's just been mostly luck.

[shel311]

1st quarter of my game tonight, have 3 Charlotte guys. Charlotte scores 34 points. Jefferson/Zeller/Roberts play 12/8/8 minutes...combine 0 of those 34 points.

[shel311]

2 Free DraftKings contests for Basketball Monster users only tonight

[trendon]

Three different lineups across DK and FU; Evans and Wall in every single one. Bash, Ibaka, Faried, Hawes, Gortat, and Carroll in multiple ones.

[Seeitsaveit13]

Care to post the DK so I can follow? haha

50/50 Lineup

Value Ratio Player Pos Team Opp Salary
43.30 54.81 Tyreke Evans Submit PG NOR UTA $7,900
47.19 53.02 John Wall Submit PG WAS ORL $8,900
31.31 53.99 Kevin Martin Submit SG MIN ATL $5,800
23.62 51.35 DeMarre Carroll Submit SF ATL @ MIN $4,600

29.45 98.17 Spencer Hawes Submit C LAC @ DAL $3,000
278.50 Total 8 $49,900

Would like to see 150 from Evans/Wall/Bosh and then let the value pick up another 120+. I like Faried because the line on the game is suspiciously low and apparently OKC sucks at defending forwards.

Again, Evans and Wall for (hopefully) guaranteed points and then a whole shitload of contrarian plays. This is only a $2 tournament as I am sticking to a 30% (yeah, high) bankroll play. In a pair of $50 MASSIVE 50/50's and a $5 MASSIVE 50/50. I love the massive games.

[Seeitsaveit13]

Thanks. I haven't had the time to look at basketball and figure it out, but I see you guys doing well, and wouldn't mind trying a tail here and there. You clearly know what you're doing

[shel311]

Evans and Wall for (hopefully) guaranteed points

I have Tyreke for sure as well.

My last tough call as of now is Galloway+Durant or Wall+Khris Middleton.

[Seeitsaveit13]

Annnnnd my dumb ass forgets to put the plays in.

[trendon]

Topics Harris out. There goes a hundred bucks. I won't even correct how his name got auto-corrected.

[shel311]

I switched Harris for Ibaka, very last second.

I made another late moved that's not working out, switched Galloway+KD for Wall+Middleton. I think KD needs just 6 more points to make that a bad move, and KD may be the key to me missing the money. I have a good shot as of now, but a big 4th could make it interesting.
