NBA dfs today 1-23-22 Optimal lineup

Update as of 9:00pm.

I decided to give advice for which players to go overweight on according to what I can estimate optimizers will go for, thereby estimating ownership, which I confirmed is not readily available for showdown slates. Here’s the players you want to go %50 or more on when going for mass multi entry and see how it goes. These guys should be much lower then %40 owned overall, giving you high differentiation for this slate. I think we’re going to get a lot of different captains tonight so feel free to also mix them up. I would recommend Lillard, Ariza, and Whiteside in that order.

Late bonus: Showdwon Slate: Clevland @ LAL

Top Captain Picks for Cash or GPP: LBJ:

It looks to me as if AD is out and LBJ will take over this game. It happens quite often. No one compares in consistency and upside. The Optimizer also likes him on DraftDashboard. I might go %80 here if playing a max 20 MME on Draftkings.

Utilities:

Cedi Osman. Has the most upside perhaps for the CAVS. You could also try and fit in Love and/or Thompson.

J. McGee Great stack partner here for Lebron, as he loves to assist guys cutting to the rim. You could also consider Kuzma in this spot.

If your going CAVS backcourt just stick with Garland and Sexton. Pretty obvious.

For more Lakers to stack, look at Danny Green, Avery Bradley, and/or KCP and hope 1 or 2 get hot from 3 pt. line.

Here I’ll show you an early morning overview of the 3 showdown slates on draftkings to go with your Coffee or Tea.

Go to Sportsline to follow along with the stat and game projections for each game.

Here are my picks for each showdown slate:

For your own DraftDashboard Optimizer Tool for any slate on the NBA DFS or any other sport on draftkings or fanduel visit the DD here.

MIA @ IND

Cash Pick:

Captain: Sabonis, and if playing multiple Cash, you could switch to Bam for miami and/or Butler here.

GPP: TJ Warren as top pick for me as this kind of action leads to GPP wins with the value savings. IF Brogdon is out you could also go with Aaron Holiday here instead. I mentioned possible value plays in my video such as McDermott and T. McConnell especially if Brogdon is out.

Chi @ NO

Cash:

Captin: Z. Lavine as this is what the optimizer bring us or if not comfortable going there I don’t blame you, go with Brandon Ingram.

GPP: Lonzo Ball since Holiday is doubtful or you could go with the power forwards from either team, Markkanen if cleared to play or Favors for NO. If Markkanen is out then Thaddeus Young as he scored 32 DK points last time out!

Bucks @ Warriors

Cash Pick:

Captain: Giannis, as you will want to get away from this price perhaps in GPP’s and see about someone for the Warriors blowing up. You should have enough value as discussed on my youtube video to keep him here and play bench guys. I will cover this usage indication factor at Hoop-Ball Forums

GPP Captain: Giannis, Middleton, Burks, Robinson, Paschall.

As of friday morning here are some things to note for the saturday slate:

1/11/19 Slate of NFL Games Update:

Adam Humphries will miss this divisional round of playoffs. This keeps the trio of AJ Brown, Corey Davis and Tajae Sharpe solidly in play.
Mark Ingram look like he may be able to go on saturday, as we’ll have to wait to confirm after a limited practice thursday. Gus Edwards could see more carries then we originally thought. Don’t forget about Justice Hill as well if he’s actually out.
Mark Andrews has had the questionable tag but I have no doubt this is his best opportunity to shed that tag by the end of the week. He has the best opportunity to score possibly then any other receiver on this slate.
The 49ers are getting back 2 defensive players in Dee Ford and Kwon Alexander this week. They will definitely help that front 7.
Adam Thielen is not going to be %100 but will play. He was a big part of their offense last week and in many tournament winning lineups.

Cash game plays for Saturday: using Draftkings or DK salaries. Also consider on FantasyDraft or FD2

Lamar Jackson. Don’t mess around with anyone else really in cash or hybrids. Only in GPP’s take shots at other quarterbacks, and I would even venture to say leave that possibility open only for scripts where there is a blowout and he sits down or…….. he gets hurt.
George Kittle. Kittle is a wrecking ball that will get his share preferrably over others as teams need to bring out and utilize their best players.
49ers Defense. Defense wins championships and with returning starting players, its going to be tough for sure for the Vikes to just run their plan. Alot of people will want to play Cook and probably Diggs on this slate, and I would limit my exposure in this scenario to other guys if enabling using 1 player vs. the defense you are using.
Mark Andrews. The concern for Andrews has always been his snap percentage, due to his injuries and just rolling other TE’s in the game. I don’t believe Andrews will need to come out as much here.
Ravens Defense. You could go in this direction for your defense freeing up Cook as a good stud option spend up RB. I would probably do that in single entry or Mass Multi entry tournaments.
Deebo Samuel. You of course need a WR slot to fill on this small slate. No need to go here perhaps on the 2 day slate. priced down compared to AJ Brown vs the good defense, so here its matchup and priced based on DK
Stef Diggs. Contrary to what many feel, in regard to Diggs getting the rock, as he’s complained about it, they’ll need to go here with Thielen set up as a decoy and other receivers getting involved. They are going to favor the pass despite the league low 169.2 passing yards per game allowed, its actually a decent fantasy matchup for their WR’s. Take a good look at him on FD2/DK.
Dalvin Cook. Cook is in play I would say as long as you don’t play the 49 Defense. Using the rb in either the run, pass or both indicates that you control the game. Once control is given up to the defense, the defense blitzes and gets to the quarterback, only using 3rd down backs, of which Cook can also handle.

studplayssatruday

I will leave it at that as you will have at least 2 spots open I would suggest for players that are more likely to score a TD then others or have high yardage upside. Thats how I’ll play my cash and hybrid games. These players shown on DraftDashboard are showing the most consistent fantasy players for this 2 game slate.

Sunday Slate notes for 1/12

Duane Brown will try to play at left tackle. The will immensely help Wilson’s blind side, and neutralize the Packers fierce rush.
Will Fuller is playing. This opens up the offense for Houston, although I don’t recall him being much of a factor the last time these teams met as they methodically moved down the field, ate up clock and kept the ball away from Mahomes.
No concerns for the Packer. They are rested.
Seahawks offense line with major concerns as they 3 guys that may not seriously play at all. The Seahawks will have to take to the ground to have a chance to win this game. If they lose control here, its lights out vs. this pass rush.
Darren Fells should play but not %100 yet. This gives more targets perhaps still to him still since
Jordan Akins is also questionable for this game. They should utilize the pass game to WR’s more in this game.
Chris Jones, an interior DL for the Cheifs is very questionable to suit up. This is a big loss for Cheifs and advantage for the Texans offense overall. He is rated one of the best in league at this position.

Cash game plays for Saturday: using Draftkings or DK salaries. Also consider on FantasyDraft or FD2

Patrick Mahomes I have concern about this pick because of the revived Texans defense with JJ Watt leading them.
Travis Kelce. Kelce should also be a lock among TE’s since we cannot rely on the saving from Texans TE’s. Love to get that scenario when I can.
Deshuan Watson. No problem going to Watson instead of Mahomes.
Damien Williams. Seems tough to go here, however he has the most value as the primary ball carrier. I don’t believe they are relying in McCoy.
Packers Defense. It does not look good for Seattle honestly.
DeAndre Hopkins, Devonte Adams, or Tyreek Hill. If you can get 2 out of 3 into your lineup with saving go for it. I this order of preference.

Hope all goes welll as you’ll need to play smart and sharp keeping up to date on any changes from here.

How to Win a Draftkings nba lineup Showdown Captain GPP

Here’s the result for your Draftkings nba lineup Showdown Captain for GPP.

Here I started out with a great recommendation from one of our guys over at Hoop-Ball. As was suggested on our Podcast, Myles suggested to go with M. Morris for the captain spot to fit in enough guys in the lineup. As I did not realize before really playing a few captain contests, the Points not only go 1.5 X but the salary also does. So even though Morris was 69.3% owned, his captain designation was much smaller, even though I’m not sure how to get that ownership percentage. I then heard the latest news around the 1pm hour to confirm that K. Leonard was not going to suit up. I then realized that I needed to stack the Clippers based on this news. I went with the 4 guys who I projected along with some help, that these Clips would be the highest scoring perhaps. Then I just plugged in value with R. Barret to finish off the lineup. Worked well as out of the only 10 MME’s that entered into Quarter Jukebox, I was tied for 1st out of 7,134. Seems a bit oversimplified right? Well remember most of the other lineups won nothing.

However this is the way to gain ground for bankroll, using cash games as well, as long as you are able to get a daily handle on those. When your ready to increase your Captain mode, its very easy to increase that quarter to $1 on beyond. Here is a video breakdown of how to go about projecting the slate.

Want to know how to create cash lineups by seeing the highest owned players for the night? Visit DraftDashboard with their latest Cash Lineup Projection Model, using ownership. If your a tournament guy, go ahead and click on GPP, once you have the players selected you want to play and press the optimize button. Simple as shown below.

Cash or GP lineups

They even have Showdown Captain mode as well for Cash and GPP. I have used the optimizer for cash and gotten good success there as well. Stay tuned as later this week, I’ll go more into creating cash lineups, or I may give you more GPP advice using these methods. Go ahead and comment below if you have something you would like to see or get more help on. Thanks for stopping today.

College Football DFS Picks for Draftkings Bowl Games

We will be giving you the best college football dfs picks for 12/24-12/29 to get you up to speed on what you need to know for these games whether playing in mode on Draftkings or Showdown Captain Mode, so you can stay busy during the holidays in dfs in many sports. If you want solid help on the NBA Christmas slate go here. Starting with the Showdown slate single game breakdown.

Check back frequently as I updat these games and skates especially as we get closer to kickoff for each card. You are probably only 1 or 2 players away from cashing in big in tournaments!

BYU @ Hawaii

While BYU should be the better team here today, the quarterback you want to play is Cole McDonald. He projects for 20 FanPoints, and has even more upside with a flare for the dramatic. Look to stack Cole with his best receivers such as Cedric Byrd, Jared Smart, and J-M Sharsh. There is actually no need to play a running back in this game other then maybe Jackson McChesney for BYU as he has put up 7.5 yards per carry!

Thursday 4pm slate

I love 2 game slates, as this are easy to get a lineup that gets you cashed in on a reasonable singe entry tournament or multiple entry large GPP.

Here you can start to look at some spots for some real upsets as the couple games could turn out sour for the favored teams. History shows that these are the least predictable for the favored team, so don’t be surprised by a score that is not within the vegas lines you could find on Sportsline. Don’t be afraid to go with the underdog QB for Louisiana Tech, J’mar Smith. He can get you what you need stacked with Adrian Hardy for a reasonable price to be different, setting yourself up for success on this slate. The Hurricanes with run DeeJay Dallas, UPDATE: Dallas is out so you can put in Cam’Ron Harris as he projects best today. If they can get the running game going, then its far more difficult for Lou Tech to keep up. You could put a second QB in Kenny Picket for Pitsburgh as you want to get him stacked if at all possible with Maurice Ffrench. You could also run it back with Arthur Jackson for E. Michigan. Stack him with Mike Glass.

check back as I keep updating as we go along. Pick your games, teams, players, and take your own stand throughout the bowl games!

Friday 5 game slate

On fanduel, you can get all 5 games in on the bowl slate if you don’t mind starting at 12pm getting your lineups set. On Draftkings, you’ll have to settle for 4 games starting at 4pm. I may play on both.

UC vs Temple:

On fanduel, if opting to use players from the UNC vs. Temple bowl game, Expect a close competitive game that may go under the 53 total. I would say if it fits within your budget there use the Sam Howell to Daz Newsome QB/WR stack as even though they have less experience then the Owls as a team.

Mich. St. vs WF

As for the Mich. St. Wake Forest Pinstripe bowl, I may not go here at all, with how banged up WF has been. I still particularly have my eye on recievers Scotty Washington and Kendall Hinton if they fit into my LU build as they could get big plays in passing game vs. Mich St. Brian Lewerke is underrated and should give you a value pick if if fits as well. Check pricing of him with Cody White if needing a combo stack. You could also throw in a couple J. Newman stacks in MME.

Tex A&M vs Okl. St.

Look for a close game between Texas A&M and Okl. St. in the Texas Bowl. I will defininitly take the over in the 54 point game total, as I expect this to be close and high scoring. Beautiful game script for me. Stack both quarterbacks, and use Dru Brown along with Chubba Hubbard for St. along with Dillon Stoner and feel free to use Isaiah Spiller and Jhamon Ausbon along with Quartney Davis and Kellen Mond who you don’t have to stack as he’ll get rushing yards. Check for pricing for value out of this game for sure.

USC vs Iowa

J. Silvia is more of a GPP flier for the Trojans vs Iowa who is a very stingy defense with high round draft picks scheduled to go up to the podium. As for the other side of this game check out Tyler Goodson as a key value piece in your lineup today. Not many have heard of him but they should be able to run vs USC.

AF @ WSU

Anthony Gordon is a core play so start your lineups with the late game or watch your lineups sink later in the night. You don’t have to but can opt to run it back with AF QB Hammond. Take the value of stacking Gordon with R. Bell who’s had 17 receptions in last 2 games.

Saturday 4 game slate:

Okla. vs LSU

This is a no brainer stack game. A lot of people will be going here, and you should as well in cash games. Fire up both QB’s basically all WR’s and RB Kennedy Brooks as the safe option here. Best to go elseware tomorrow for your other 1 or 2 running backs. Clyde Edwards-Helaire has not practiced so I do not advise sticking him in any of your lineups unless you hear otherwise as to indicate he is playing for sure. I do prefer Burrow if only taking one QB out of this game. In tournaments you will to try and be different going elseware.

Clemson vs. Ohio St.

Ohio state is my team so call me biased if you want, but they have produced a lot of fantasy points and this appears to be the 2nd option game stack to go with for sure, as you want at least parts of this game in your lineups. The game may go under the 62.5 points but it should be close as neither team will be willing to take risks. Give the QB edge to Field because of his rushing and TD upside. Use as many receivers as you want to stack with him as well, as he spreads the ball around nicely, so use it to your advantage, taking shots with low cost upside. You could really go with either RB in this game to try and afford with your roster build, however you may have to use Travis Etienne for 700 less on DK.

Penn St. vs Memphis

This may seem like a blowout potentially but Memphis could keep this to around a 7 point spread. Sean Clifford has the 2nd highest implied team total along with the 2nd lowest price tag, providing possibly the best value on the slate with rushing upside. If you can spend up for K. Gainwell I am fine with that as he also gets involved in the passing game. Journey Brown is a nice value play to round out your lineups.

ND vs IOWA St.

This game is off the DFS radar for tomorrow as if you go anywhere you will want to ND side, with You could possibly do a I. Book and Chase Claypool stack.
