I should not have bet the Trail Blazer game because I knew they're really bad but I thought they would at least hang in there til the half then fall apart but they were so awful in every aspect of the game and the guy that tried to defend Towns shouldn't be on the roster. Townes is an awesome player but to allow that many rebounds so early in a game is silly. That Williams fella on the Trail Blazers seemed like the only one worth keeping. The others were eh, at best.
That Golden State rookie set a rookie team scoring record against Denver so I lost that bet by a bucket or two and that cost me money but it happens. I don't think anyone saw that one coming.
The Knicks game was a surprise because they were down huge then I saw they came from like 25 -30 points behind lolol then took the lead in the 4th quarter and I just went with the momentum. I was lucky to get in at -2.5 @-105. But the Knicks are known for losing games this year in the worst ways late and I wasn't going to pay anymore than -2.5 on that game. If they didn't have that reputation this year of folding late then I would have paid up a little more. So I was really lucky to get in at that price and they pulled my betting day out of the fire.
So I went 3/5 with my set standard full sized bets on NBA games yesterday but I lost one full bet and a quarter sized bet on NHL Had Col winning by +1.5 on the road against the Islanders and they won by only 1, lol. Islanders were so lucky in the 1st period, it was crazy with all the opportunities. So with NHL I went 0/1.25
Anyway, today I'm going with:
Grizzlies at home -5.5 @ -110
Cavs on the road -4 @-110
This was a tough one to convince myself to take but I'll try this one but I feel a lot better with this game than the Trail Blazer game because these two teams have played one another this year. If it doesn't work out then I'll only be down one full bet and I can handle that so no big deal. Its going to be interesting to see if they can overcome missing Allen who put up double double games against the Pacers recently. So not my favorite game today but I think they might be able to make it work. We'll see, maybe not.
And I'm going with the Suns -7.5 on the road @ -110. This has been reduced to -5.5 @ -110 and I usually wait til the starting lineups are announced but Booker and Paul sat out the Buck game so the Suns should be ready to play at full strength and they just lost to the Bucs so should be interesting to see if they're ready for a big win so I didn't wait.
Can't wait to see how these bets blow up, lolol at least I'll be entertained though.

lol Yeah, things have been better since they got rid of Simmons. The Nets could really use Simmons. Was thinking about taking the Nets today but they haven't been consistent enough for me. That Boston game was the best game I think they've played all year but I want to see them get going before I put anymore money on them. Throw in a healthy Simmons with Durant and "the world is flat" guy together and I'll start betting them more. If you could find someone to shut down an opposing big scorer then I'd really like them.

I couldn't take this game because I looked at the Clippers and they lost by over 20 to the Knicks at home. And the Knicks are a step down from a Golden State team even without Green. So I don't have a lot of faith in a Clippers team without George and Leonard. GS sat out Curry and Thompson last game so they're ready to go and GS played their heart out against a good Nuggets team so the secondary players might be a little tired but the starters are fresh.
Golden state has just been too inconsistent for me lately to take them either. If a healthy Green was in the line up then I would take the GS side of the bet. Clippers are a worse team away than home and GS is way better team at home than on the road and explains the Clippers the last game against GS. GS also recently lost games to good Mavericks and Timberwolves teams, and a motivated LeBron James scored 56 on them so GS is still playing good ball.
GS is also due for a win. I just talked myself into taking GS -6 @ -110 lol
I think GS is going to want some payback against the Clippers for their last game together and I'm interested to see if that rookie that scored big time last night plays. Really don't know about this one but we'll see. If GS doesn't take this game seriously because George and Paul aren't in the lineup and mails this game in then they certainly won't cover and might lose it. If they see it as needing a win to break a losing streak and show up then they might cover the -6 against the Clippers. At worst it'll only be 1 full bet lost on a team that wins in their building and has a track record of winning. Hopefully Curry can get everyone involved and they have fun!! I know I'll enjoy it either way.
GL with the Clippers though!!

I mainly play daily fantasy.
I'm not into any leagues or anything like that but my question is at what position do you try to find the best value for players to get you the most FPPG ?
To me basketball seem so hard to be consistent with how the game can flow a certain way or who will start in a lineup due to a ton of players missing games from covid restrictions and also game management.
I just cant seem to get over the hump of falling 40-60 pts from 1st Place.

Balanced attack of solid performers. Here is your top 25 performers -
Basically, they give you $200 to spend on a line up. 8 to 10 players must be selected. So, if you have 10 slots then an average of $20 per player = $200
Look at the games each day. Find one with players who score, rebound and have assists on a consistent basis. Get to know the players better on all the teams.
I will make a example of one - Daily Fantasy All NBA Games included - $200 Total
Damian Lillard - PG $35
K Irving - SG $22
J Tatum -Flex $30
Gorbert - C $25
Covington - SF $15
D Green - PF $23
A Wiggins - F $12
J Holiday - G $24
Reserve - c - $12
totaling $200
Decent players you know will have points and maybe have a huge night to put you in the money.

That is the problem.
I do follow a lot of teams and players but with the balanced attack of these top performers I am falling short each time.
I try and get value at the C position and look for guys who have potential to get me like 10pts maybe 7-8rebs 1-2a.
I just dont know what position I should be spending my salary at the most and trying to find value.
davem86 said:
That is the hardest part. The position is not as important but the production. Be consistent on following games day to day. Players in these ranges will start sticking out. Maybe, try the lower buy in daily games until you get more comfortable with line ups. Keep trying in my opinion. You have the right idea.
I'm trying and yeah its tough. NFL fantasy seemed a bit easier. I think once it gets closer to the playoffs and teams having their full rotations in maybe I will see a better turnout.
Any lock bets on NBA today? I just started playing around with the SGP bets.

NHL
I lost a quarter bet betting the Penguins could beat one of the best NHL teams at home with rest taking the moneyline and the Penguins were down 2 in the 1st period lol. They came back but Fla was too good for them.

I'm also going with the Bucks -5 @ -110 but its a questionable pick because ATL has handled them but they haven't played with the Bucs big three available and Ibaka. Bucs have been doing a lot of traveling so don't know how this will go.
Going with Cade Cunningham O 19.5 @ -108 AT A HALF SIZED BET because he's been on fire and a main reason why Detroit has been winning recently so that one looks better than average If you can find it.
Going with the Heat -4.5 @-110 but this isn't going to be easy because I don't know how Lowry is going to play and Butler is probably out. Heat beat them by 20+ back in Jan @ the Suns without Butler so we'll see but not confident on this one. Butler is out and Lowry hasn't played a lot recently so this one doesn't look good at all.
I'm on the fence with this one because a lot of the Twolves roster is GTD except for Townes. But Twolves beat them a few days ago @ OKC by 30+ and Min is a much better team at home so taking Twolves -14.5 @ -110
I might glance at the Mavs game because Luka is awesome but I don't like the -8 with the Mavs because although the Knicks are mediocre, they have played the Mavs well this year and last. I looked at the last 2 games one played in NY where they handled Dal and one last year @ Dal and still won so I'm not that confident in the Mavs. I'll take a quarter sized bet on the Knicks +5 @ -110 for the 1st Half . I think they'll be close and not dreadfully behind like the other night. Mavs have won a lot of games in a row as well. I wouldn't be surprised if the Knicks are at least competitive in this.

0-1 with the NBA picks but went 4/5 with the baby NCAA basketball picks so it wasn't the worst day.
Jokic over 27.5 at -105, half bet: LOST.
He only scored 23. Sat out most of the 3rd quarter in foul trouble and just looked tired in the 4th quarter. Golden State as a team defended the Nuggets very well. He had lots of opportunities to score 5 points in the 4th quarter to get over 28 but he couldn't score or had the ball poked away and was against good defense.
Ooh well, try again tomorrow.

I didn't want to go near that game because "the World is Flat Guy" scored 50 points last game and I didn't know if he would still have the magic touch. The same with Harden because these shooters can go cold in a heartbeat and you could lose a lot of money on them if their shot is off and they keep trying to throw the ball in instead of driving to the rim or they don't pass the ball.
Could have gotten +4.5 @+160 Nets and still wanted no part of it, Nets are playing well on the road starting with that Boston game but I still said I'll put my money somewhere else. Hopefully the Nets can continue playing well and I can be a lot more confident putting my money on them.
