Sriracha’s NBA DFS Game Theory- 8/21/20

This content piece will be dedicated to providing you with an easy to follow breakdown on the ELITE cash plays, SAFE GPP plays, LOW-OWNED GPP plays, and FADES of today’s NBA main slate.

By utilizing this content you will be able to build +EV lineups and start increasing your DFS ROI in MINUTES. Our own staff uses these along with the player pool below to help create cores which you can find here, in our Premium Core Plays, where experts such as myself, Ben, Bales, AC and more post our cores daily.

*If you don’t already play 3 lineups and 3 max entry contests daily, try using the teams provided in the stacks above to maximize upside and correlation in your NBA lineups.

Thoughts:

Updates to come to this section as we approach lock so continue to check back for more insight.

• Welcome to the NBA Playoffs! The approach here is a bit different as any game is worthy of a game stack technically, just cause the slate sizes allow any game that goes to OT (or more) can easily be the highest scoring game of the night & break the slate. It’s easier to make up with larger slates but when playoffs have limited options and value, any of these outliers can break the slate. This is a really really tough slate because you really have to decide which studs you want. This slate is interesting because Conley comes back and his price is not bad at all. It should take a chunk out of Mitchell and Clarkson’s usage, and now Clarkson is off the board for me. I like the value of BKN today in Temple, TLC and maybe even Tyler Johnson. I like Luka/Kawhi but I do not really want to pay up for either honestly. I think center (Jokic/Embiid) will be my pay up spot.
• Below are the players I would consider in your “pool” tonight when building 3-20 lineups. These will be in order of my exposure %.  This is 100% the approach everyone reading this article should be taking tonight.  There are plenty of 3-max, 5-max, 20-max contests to enter.
• The players I’m using in my “pool” tonight (outside of locking one of Jokic/Embiid, Lowry, Morris)
  • • L. Doncic
    • K. Walker
    • J. Murray
    • K. Leonard
    • T. Harris
    • J. Ingles
    • J. Richardson
    • L. Williams
    • G. Temple
    • T. Luwawu-Cabbarot
    • D. Mitchell
    • C. Levert
    • O. Anunoby
    • R. O’Neale
    • J. Allen
    • M. Conley
    • T. Johnson
    • We’re still waiting on a few pieces of information, so keep your eyes peeled.
  • Remember to try to add as much correlation to your lineups as possible.  More games go to OT than you think in the NBA and mini-game stacks are an underutilized strategy in NBA DFS tournaments.  (Again, you can use the table above to identify the game-stacks I’ll be on).
