Thoughts:

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

  • Hello everybody and welcome back to another DFS Karma Game Theory article! Today there are a couple things to monitor regarding injuries and COVID-19 protocols, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled. For injury news, please make sure to check our injury article here!
  • Both Luka and Steph have tough matchups today, and there seems to be little value on the slate to fit those sort of big studs.. Maybe today is the day to go balanced and make sure you don’t risk losing points else where just to fit in big studs that could be matched with other players.
  • Very small slate, with very little value. You have to make sure the pieces you pick are the ones that score tons of points because if you miss out on one play, you are at a severe disadvantage.
  • My core for cash games will be Eric Gordon, James Harden,  James Johnson
  • For tournaments, I like the core of Garrett Temple, Jrue Holiday, Kevin Durant

 

  • Notes:
    • So many studs, so little value… Where can we find solid value?
    • HOU/CHI looks prime to stack, so does MIL/BKN
    • Can BKN keep up with MIL as they were having trouble keeping up with ORL the other night?
    • Can this DAL/TOR game go less owned? Both are decent defensive teams but DAL is missing their key defensive guys

 

  • Now, I will go over my full player pool for today, below.
  • Guys who I will have exposure to today in no particular order [other than those in table above] (PLAYER POOL)
