Big night tonight with 11 games on the slate. Wanted to see who everyone is going with tonight.

Huge dilemma with Augustin tonight. He's been on a hot streak and has a great matchup but will be at least 40% owned on a night with a plethora of great alternatives. Lowry, Wall, Lillard, Paul could all easily go for 55+ fantasy points tonight. Seems like a perfect time to fade him.

Other than that I love Lavine, Waiters, and Cousins tonight. I have them in most lineups.

With Durant out, I am rolling with Westbrook and Ibaka. Spent big on RW and loaded the rest of the squad with $6,000 to roughly $7,000 players. I passed on Augustin because everyone will still own him and his super value is gone (I had him in his first start at $3,800).

I pivoted from Lowry to Kyrie when the Lebron news dropped. Cashed in all my 50/50's and took 55th in an 1150 man GPP. Would have done a lot better if I had faded Augustin.

I'm gonna try to start coming to this board more as I play NBA DFS every day.

I had Kyrie so i pretty easily cashed in the 50/50s. But I chose Harden over Westbrook, and I think that's the night Westbrook dropped 50 FPP on the site I play on, so that was one of the misses that cost me from cashing in the tournies.

Is it just me or ........take a look at Fan Duel Site. I played this year and won money in 5 separate contests. Lately, There has been a winner the last 2 weeks (NBA)called "cashmoney26". Check his record and he has won 82 times this season (NBA and NFL). Something doesn't smell right.

Alotta sharps in the DFS game. Gotta make your money early in the season before the newbs empty their accounts.

Well "winning" just means that you placed in a contest. Doesn't mean you won the whole thing.

The sharps always have multiple entries so it's not uncommon to rack up a few wins in a single day. These guys are making 10-20 entries a day.

I have around 200 wins on the season. 4 of those were 4-figure scores, the rest were $50 here, $100 there. That's nothing compared to what the real sharks are pulling.

Yea, I think have a few hundred Winston FD, same name as here. But it's mostly playing $25-50 a night in 25-50 separate $1 50/50s, or some $2 plays.

How long has the FB been doing daily threads?

I don't get on TD much anymore as I have been working 80+ hours a week since the beginning of the year.


I made almost $1,000 playing DFS basketball up until the new year but with the amount of time I have been working doesn't leave me enough time to build lineups.

I believe less than a week. Every so often there's a random DFS thread from what I've seen, but just since football was about over, they just popped up.

5 game slate tonight.
Anybody building around Klay's 52 point output against Sac Town tonight?

Thinking of building around Den/Philly game.

I have Curry and Thompson as of now, just worried about the blowout factor.

There's so many options tonight, my lineup will probably change 10 more times before I leave work lol.

He'll be heavily owned tonight which limits his upside. If he duds out tonight, then you're ahead of at least 40% of the field.

Den/Philly is a good one. No defense will be played at all.

Yea, he definitely feels like a better 50/50 fit, not tourney play.

Taking bigs going up against DEN and ORL is so money lately...and Philly you can take any guy at any position on a given day and have a good chance at a good return lol.

Yep, Nerlens Noel was one of the first picks when I was constructing my lineups for today. He should be able to take what he wants tonight.

I was planning on fading Thompson, just so few options at guard tonight. Pretty lousy night for cheap guys right now, jason smith and nurkic only guys I like. Mcdaniels and Covington should be good value with mcw out at a cheapish price.

Same here, I tried to not take Thompson, but didn't find much better options at SG.

Smith, Augustin, and Bass...but they'll also be highly owned. And I guess Whiteside still counts as cheap, at least he is on the site I play, but he'll be like 98% owned lol.

Last night was odd, 7 of my guys were at least 89% owned, with the 8th guy at 59%. Never seen it that lopsided.

My other 2-3 guys were just ok so I ended up falling about 5 point shy of the top half of my 50/50s.
