3 players to build your lineup around. dec 8th.

Saturday Recap Clint Capela 28.50 FPTs 12P/10R/2B Malcolm Brogdon DNP Cam Johnson 17 FPTs 6P/1A/4R/1S/1B Bleacher Report I ended up cashing all the contests I played, unfortunately, my 3 locks I gave out were the only downside to my lineups. Brogdon didn’t play, I switched him out and turned that spot into Ben Simmons, he ended up scoring a career high 34 points. Clint Capela ended up with a double double, but it was only 12 points and 10 rebounds, he did add 2 blocks Read More

Friday Recap Zach LaVine 38 FPTs 22P/6A/6R Danilo Gallinari 40.75 FPTs 21P/3A/7R/2S/1B Duncan Robinson 13.00 6P/1A/4R Blog a Bull Zach LaVine had another amazing offensive outburst on Friday night. He scored 21 points in 7 minutes and I thought he was going to go for 40+, instead, he finished with 22 points. He did have 6 rebounds and 6 assist and finished right at his fantasy average, but it feels like a real missed opportunity for a huge point total. My hopes Read More

He Read More

Wednesday Recap Karl Anthony Towns 52.25 26P/7A/9R Khris Middleton 37.50 FPTs 17P/5A/8R Garrett Temple 38.50 FPTs 27P/3A/4R Yahoo Sports I managed to pick Karl Anthony Towns on the rare night he failed to record a double double but he is still got over 50 fantasy points. I did fit Wiggins into the lineup with KAT again and the duo each had 26 points. Also, KAT went 3 for 5 from 3, considerably down from his 9 attempts a game. Overall, Towns had a typically good Read More

Tuesday Recap Luka Doncic   65 FPTs    33P/5A/18R Evan Fournier    40.50    31P/3A/2R PJ Tucker     34.75     10P/2A/9R/3S/2B Forbes Luka Doncic is as sure a thing as James Harden or LeBron when it comes to getting his fantasy points. He failed to get a triple double but he poured in 33 points, he went 10-13 from the line and was 5 of 12 from three. The big surprise was a career high 18 rebound rebounds. Luka is $11,600 tonight against Read More

Arizona Sprts Monday Recap Devin Booker    37 FPTs    23P/4A/4R/1B/1S Brook Lopez     11.75   FPTs   4P/3R/1B/1S Kris Dunn      19.25     FPTs    6P/4A/3R/2S I was completely right with my Devin Booker prediction. I said that his 128 for 133 shooting video would give him a boost in confidence and he would be letting 3s fly, unfortunately, not a lot fell. Booker got close to his fantasy average and did score 23 points on Read More

Complex Sunday Recap Early LeBron     53.25 FPTs      25P/8A/9R Wiggins    41 FPTS       18P/7A/6R/2B/1S Tyus Jones   31 FPTs      12P/7A/4R The Early locks faired well on Sunday. LeBron didn’t get a triple double but he did fill the stat sheet. The Lakers looked checked out of most of this game, they couldn’t get anything going. Wiggins failed to break the 20 point plateau but he ended up getting his fantasy numbers Read More

3 players to build around on Draftkings. 2 Slates, Early and Main. Dec 1.

Saturday Recap Trae Young 52.25 FPTs 37P/7A/3R TJ Warren 38 FPTs 29P/1A/4R Dante DiVincenzo 20 FPTs 10P/6R/1S I believe my exact words were ‘Short of Harden going off for one of his 60 point nights, I think Trae will be relatively close to Harden’s point total’. Well guess what happened? That’s right, harden had “one of his 60 point nights” in three quarters! I m happy with what I got from Trae, he followed up his 49 point night with a 37 and 7. Young is a lock Read More

Real GM Friday Recap Malcolm Brogdon 35.50 16P/7A/6R Montrezl Harrell 22.75 12P/7R Davis Bertans 13.25 6P/2A/3R My Friday night was HORRENDOUS. All of my picks missed their season fantasy average, not just the 3 I recommended, all 8 missed. Brogdon had a decent night, he didn’t pick apart the Hawks like I thought he would and the Pacers only put up 105 points and only won by 1. I was worried Brogdon would miss his numbers because he was sitting in the 4th of Read More

Washington Post Wednesday Recap Karl Anthony Towns 52 FPTs 23P/6A/14R Andrew Wiggins 44 FPTs 26P/2A/8R Enes Kanter 25.25 FPTs 4P/3A/7R/4S I was off by 4 points on my 100 combined points between Towns and Wiggins prediction. I will be looking to have both of them in as many lineups as I can. Unfortunately, Theis was put into the starting lineup after I had posted the article where I picked Kanter. He played only 14 minutes but still got Read More
