***update Noel is out tonight.
Drop Noel for Monty and upgrade Len to Jordan Hill.
Sorry this is going up so late today. My daughter is turning 2 on Friday, so today my wife and I had some things planned to do with her. I’m gonna keep it super short today. For those that played my lineup yesterday, I hope you stuck with my original lineup that included Deng. I placed 8th in a 50/50 and was above the cut line a Dribbler as well. So today’s lineup….
- I’m going to ride the Westbrook and Durant train again tonight. Both are petty much match up proof, and have been hot lately. Playing at home versus the Wizard, this game should be high scoring.
Elfrid Payton at the other PG slot is value that can’t be ignored. At only $5,900 for a guy getting 39 minutes a game, 2 days rest, and having scored 45, and 38 in his last two games, sign me up.
- JR Smith at the two guard is a tough decision for me. I still don’t trust him, but if you left his name out, and just showed me his minutes and recent FDP, combined with his relatively cheap price, I’d have him in my lineup.
With my lineup construction, you could upgrade Smith to Beal, but Beal is too streaky. Though ironically as I look at his game log, he has been better on the road then at home recently. Take that how you want.
I took Eric Gordon 2 nights ago, thinking I would be the minority. I wasn’t. He ended up having the second highest ownership percentage in my 2 leagues next to Lebron. Secrets out I guess. He played well versus the Knicks and now he gets to play another bad team in the Lakers. At home no less.
- Durant is Durant. That’s it. I don’t need anything to back this up…..
Moving on. Jeff Green has been hovering around 30FDP his last 3. And he is playing one of the worst defensive teams in the Raptors. Raptors though are one of the better offensive teams, and considering the Grizzlies brought Green here to bring some scoring, he is a must start at home.
- Power Forward is a bit of weak link in this lineup. I’m banking on Ryan Anderson breaking out of his slump. Anderson was a “must start” pick when Anthony Davis went down. Unfortunately, he didn’t play like a starter. He goes back to the bench tonight versus the Lake Show, and with Davis back he’ll get more open looks.
This will be an epic battle with two of the top teams in her east. Oh wait.. Never mind. It’s Knicks Vs 76ers. Noel should shine tonight versus a team that could be worse then them. That’s how bad the Knicks are, they are in the debate for worst team, and they are TRYING to win, whereas the 6ers are throwing this season away, and they started to do that during the NBA draft.
- Len isn’t a flashy pick, but he should be good tonight versus an Aldridge-less Portland team. Rebounds and blocks is his bread and butter, and I think he’ll get some easy buckets tonight to put him close to 30FDP.
That’s it for tonight. I don’t have time to proof read this, but I’m sure you get the mist of it. Good Luck tonight guys.
