** updated lineup** take Diaw out, put in ur choice of Collison or McGary. I’m using both in different lineups. One LU, I’m using both. **
The good news is the NBA is back! The bad news for Fanduel players is it’s only a 2 game slate. It’s just an appetizer for tomorrow’s huge slate of games. With only 2 games doing a Top Ten or my usual Dunks and Passes segment seems a bit frivolous, since the slate of players is so small.
Instead, I’m going to post Tonight’s Starting 9 and give my narrative on each player. I’m writing this post Tuesday night, so some things could change between now and then, so check back with me and see if I make any changes.
Before I post my Starting 9 I’d like to point out some of the new features I’ve been working on over the break. First off is the forums, which is fairly vacant at the moment, only having a hand-full of subscribers. Please take a second and register, I’ve even made it so you can register with your Facebook account, making it as simple as 2 clicks. You can register by clicking register for the forums.
I’m also beta testing a projection model, similar to the CVP chart in design. It will basically use a number of factors, including but not limited to; season average, last 5 game average, ceiling and floor scores, pace, usage, and defense versus position. I’m conditioning it so that its compatible with dailyfantasynerd.com‘s optimizer. When it is finished, you should be able to copy/paste my chart, drop it into dailyfantasynerds optimizer, set the different parameters(exclude, include, etc), and it will spit back a few different optimal lineups based on my projection chart.
It might be a few days before I have that up and running. I want to test it against some live NBA games first. I did some historical tests, taking old games and plugging in my projections, running the optimizer, and so far have had good results. So keep an eye out for that. So let’s get to why you’re here.
TODAY’S STARTING 9
Kevin Durant Lets hope for the sake of the NBA and for Fanduel purposes that Durant’s bothersome toe is fine now. After coming back from the toe injury, Durant hasn’t had less than 40 Fanduel points, and has actually increased his totals in each game. The Mavericks actually play the SF position tough, but come on, this is Durant we are talking about.
DeAndre Jordan Dude had 20 and 20 two games straight right before the All-Star break, and as long as Blake is out, he could do that every night. He had 62 versus them last time, granted Tyson Chandeler left that game early, so I’m not expecting that, but I’ll take 50.

That wraps up the post for today. So glad the NBA is back. I don’t know what I’m going to do in July and August. Maybe I’ll learn baseball.
Gotta start research for Friday’s slate now, might take me a few days.
