NBA

The bleakest future has a strong correlation with lack of wins,yet Im not going with the pistons, but rather the wizards. They have bilal coulibaly and deni avdija, and that’s pretty much it. The worst part is their coach Wes Unseld Jr doesn’t build around those guys, but rather shot chuckers like Jordan Poole and Kyle Kuzma. If the coaches focus around deni and bilal, their future isn’t as bleak. You could argue the nets because jacque vaughn has definitely not lived up to his hype of being a coaching guru, as seen through the nets awful rotations and lack of focus around cam Thomas. They do have hope though, but a new coach is needed.

Craig had a couple of NBA segments this morning and talked about the Mavs a good bit. He just sounds clueless when comparing and talking about the moves the Mavs made for PJ Washington and Gafford. PJ is there for defense, size, rebounding and to get buckets when he can, Gafford is obviously more straightforward.

Craig just sounds like he has not watched or seen an NBA game in years.

He talked about Wembanyama and sounded a little less buffoonish but he's still saying Sochan is a good player, when he's basically PJ Washington.

I use to love Greg but now he's bland as your mothers balls.

Really weird day today. this denver game also is just not real life lol. whole lineup involved in blowouts today so that was fun. 3 game slate for tomorrow and then we have the all star break. this 3 game slate consists of a few teams that I absolutely hate when it comes to DFS so im going to go light tomorrow and smash most likely xD. hope you all had a great night <3

If discord is something you are interested in, Will have a link below where i have in-depth content going over each slate, player pools for cash/gpps. cores and much more.

Edit: re-doing the video. one minute

Edit: grizzlies are punting this game. jaren, pippen, konchar, rose all OUT, kennard is Q tagged - assuming kennard sits - MEM should have 9 active guys here. vince looks great and should lead the team as the number 1 option. GG jackson and goodwin should have very solid roles and i like both for value a lot. lamar stevens is playable. id assume jemison starts here and is also a good value. Aldama is an interesting pivot off vince chalk. zaire is just there for me

Hey guys, recently, with Wembanyama reaching the 1000-point mark, I got curious about the players who managed to reach that milestone the fastest, both in terms of age and games played.

Where can I find a list with this data?

Holy hell last night's slate was garbage. The top studs busted, some of the best values were horrible, and it was truly a mid-range slate if I have ever seen one.

Just across the board, blowout or otherwise, so many good plays were utter trash. But hey, we should have known a 12 game slate was trouble, right?

Things are dying down here with the NBA heading into a break, but tonight we get a clam 3-gamer. On paper the best game to stack is the Warriors vs. Jazz (2-point spread, 239 total), but it's 3 games, so we probably need to think about eating the Giannis chalk and just building the best lineup possible.

To get the party started, here are my favorite plays at each position.

Best NBA DFS Picks for Thursday

• PG: Keyonte George ($4.7k)

• SG: Dalano Banton ($3.7k)

• SF: Lauri Markkanen ($8.1k)

• PF: Jonathan Kuminga ($6.7k)

• C: Giannis Antetokounmpo ($11.8k)

Stephen Curry and Dame lead the way for pricey point guards. Both look great, but we only have so much cash to spend. Are they priorities over Giannis? No. Can we fit one of them in with Giannis? Totally. Do we have to? Unknown, as it's early, but not necessarily.

Regardless, Keyonte George is starting and getting about 30 min a game. He is way too cheap and in a good spot, so he's a lock for me.

Banton looks like a decent punt IF Scoot is out for Portland. The Blazers are probably getting housed by Minnesota, so I guess he's viable regardless. But with Brogdon AND Scoot out, Banton looks like a core play.

SG just sucks. Anthony Edwards is by far the top spend there (and is totally fine), but his game has real blowout risk and he's Q to play. If he's in I like him, but I'd first prioritize saving at shooting guard.

ANT can also be used at SF, and there's decent mid-range bodies like Vince Williams. However, I often like to ask myself - am I playing this guy on a bigger slate? Or am I only interested because he looks good/feels safe relevant to this tiny ass slate?

The reality is someone like Vince is totally fine, but his projection also doesn't pop. If he's going to be 30% owned, we could pay over or below him and automatically get different. Lauri looks like a viable way to do that, as he's in the best game of the slate and he projects decently.

Kuminga's price has come down to the point where he and Dray are in a similar range. I am taking the ceiling with Kuminga here and not looking back (although both look good).

Giannis is the top raw points play of the slate. Only Curry comes close and he's about 9 points behind. An epic Curry game probably amounts to around 60 fantasy points, though. An epic Giannis game can be 90+.

Somehow Giannis is pulling just 20% ownership atm. Is that due to price? Blowout risk? Fear he could sit in a game the Bucks can win without him? Not sure, but he SHOULD be mega owned on a 3 gamer.

Whether you use him or not, he's the best play on the slate and it's not particularly close.

My Strategy for 2/15

• Step 1: Lock in Giannis and hope the early own % projections ring true.

• Step 2: collect that cash

Seriously, I know Giannis is pricey, but it's a 3 game slate. How does he not come in at 50% owned or more? I bet it corrects itself and he's super owned, but either way, I am likely playing him without thinking more about it.

I also really like Curry/Lauri in the best game environment. However, Curry has displayed a fairly low floor this season, so at almost $10k he is not the must that Giannis is. And while Lauri stands out, it's largely relative to this specific slate, and not because of his projection.

It's early but until we have concrete news, my initial core is probably going to be Giannis, Banton, and Keyonte. If I can get to Curry, that'd be cool. But I don't view any other top spends as major priorities yet, and I like building with these 2 values.

Of course, it is early and things could change. I'll break this all down later in my YouTube video. If you'd like to catch that, view my reddit profile for a link to my channel (or DM me if you can't find it).
