FanDuel and Factoids + Parlay of the Day
Today is much different from yesterday. There are 8 more games occurring, and with that, your strategy as a DFS player should change. On deeper slates, Stars and scrubs are often more valuable because there are a larger variety of options at sub 5k.

Lineup 1: (Before Luka was ruled out)
I just talked about Luka in yesterday’s article. Luka can be overrated, especially at higher price points. The Mavericks are on a nice run, so I feel comfortable rolling the dice in Dallas again.
Luka was ruled out minutes after this article was posted, he has been replaced by Steph Curry.
Dame is eating without CJ and Nurkic. The public consensus on the Suns is currently down. Suns defense is currently ranked number three, so it’s unlikely that the Trailblazers can win by a large margin.
I like everybody from the Pistons right now. They feel a lot like the rockets, as there are a lot of bench players who are seeing their place in the rotation.
It’s hard to decide which player to grab from the Timberwolves and Pelicans game, but I assure you that you should have at least one player from this game in every lineup.
Batum can see 30+ minutes of play for 4k. That’s only $500 more than Klay Thompson.
You should always avoid the Knicks. They’re a killer matchup with the slowest pace in the league. I don’t think they are as hard of a matchup for Giannis as the teams in L.A.
After weeks of playing Theis, I’m not gonna miss his game against the Brooklyn Nets.
Baynes is a thousand dollars underpriced, and until Andre Drummond makes way to Canada’s team, he might make a continued appearance in this series.
Lineup 1: (After Luka was ruled out)
Steph was the most expensive option at point behind Luka. When you save money you should use it to upgrade other positions, especially if $800.
Luka being sidelines makes Richardson more appealing.
Bazley also being ruled out, Roby seemed better than Theis.
Lineup 2:
DeAaron Fox, Victor Oladipo, and John Wall will duel off tonight. The Kings are a mess on defense, most likely due to Luke Walton’s poor coaching. Either way, it’s helpful to us for DFS so we should all be thankful that Luke Walton is a bad coach.
When I said I liked everybody on the Pistons, that included Justin Jackson. Because he is on the Pistons.
Eric Bledsoe is a good paydown option, but one that you have to stack to truly be relevant.
Jimmy Butler is amazing every time he plays. His astonishing work effort alone should make him priced above 10k.
Bjelica will have plenty of time to shoot the ball while they are behind by 8+ points to the Rockets.
KAT is my favorite play today. I would have expected his price to be above 10k against the Pelicans. There must be some big Steven Adams stans over in the FanDuel headquarters.
