Chalk It Up -- My Daily Fantasy Basketball Journey Vol. 3

naloman (42)in #dfs • 7 years ago

Yesterday we had a 10-game slate which was much better for variance versus the other day with only a 3-game slate. I had a much tougher time finding automatic locks to put in my lineup compared to the first two days.

Suns vs Lakers looked like a good game to target since vegas had this game as a high total and tight spread. So I wanted to find players from this game who have the upside or may be cheap.

Devin Booker has great upside in that game so I choose him. Also T.J. Warren was cheap. Jordan Clarkson worked out OK for me last time and his price hasn't changed at $4700 so used him again.

After that I wanted to target some studs and Giannis and DeMarcus came to mind. Both had huge games in previous outings. I wondered if it would be possible to get both in my lineup without gimping it too much.

So after plugging them in I started to look for value. Myles Turner was ruled out so I used Sabonis who was starting in his place at only $3800.

Now I needed 2 PGs and use whatever money I had left for the last spot at SF. Kemba Walker or D'Angelo Russell both seem like great picks and both would have increased usage times because of other player injuries. I decided to go with Kemba because Batum was out. The other PG spot I took Darren Collison since he had a monster game last time and his price was only $5600.

That left me with $3600 so I chose Sefolosha since he scored over 18 fantasy points last game.

Here's My Lineup (on the left) I Entered into the $400K Fri NBA Clutch Shot ($100K to 1st). I included the top lineup that won the $100,000 prize for comparison:

Results:

Placed 5730th out of 119408, enough for $10 Win on a $4 Entry Fee. Most of my picks performed as expected except Clarkson and Sabonis.

The win brings my 3 day total to $7.91 (running balance) + $6 = $13.91 Profit
