Last nights squad was so frustrating. The top half of the lineup was awesome, but the bottom half with Ryan Anderson, Monty, and Jeff Green pretty much cost me. Missed the 50/50 cut by about 8 points. Win some lose some.
I apologize again for the late post. I’m helping my Mom move today. I’ve been on vacation all week, but haven’t really had a day to rest yet. It’ll be another short blog today, but I’m working on an article that’ll be out soon discussing the strategy of picking as many players from the same game as fanduel will allow. Be on the look out for that. In the meantime, today’s lineup
- Last Time we heard from Derrickk Rose, he was calling out his teammates. So I expect him to come out like gangbusters and do anything he can to win this game.
Brandon Knight has been averaging close to 40 FDP the last three games. Now he gets a Utah team that is bad defensively, and he has three days of rest.
- Wesley Matthews, I feel, is a must start at shooting guard today. With Aldridge out, he is going to have to do some scoring against a very bad Boston Celtics team.
At the other shooting guard spot, I went back-and-forth from Avery Bradley and JJ Reddick. I ultimately decided on Reddick based solely on minutes. The clippers have a very shallow bench, and Reddick will easily get 30 minutes plus.
- Kawhi is a must start tonight, he is the spurs everything man. He scores, he rebounds, steals, assists, and even blocks shots. With that kind of production, at his price, it’s very hard to pass up.
Nicholas Batum, at the other forward spot, is also another good start. If you look at games when Aldridge has been out, he has played very well. He scored 46 the last game he played with out Aldridge.
- I’m taking both of Chicago’s power forward tonight. Spurs play big, and Chicago plays big, so both Taj and Gasol will get plenty of minutes.
-
Finally at the center position I went with Gobert. He had a bad outing versus the Cavs, but I expect him to bounce back nicely versus the Bucks tonight. Hopefully we’ll get one of his 40+ FDP nights.
That’s it for today guys. Good Luck. And don’t forget to follow me on Twitter @geofflambert77
