DFS 3/11 Wednesday (free article)

Now we are relegated to simulated games. At least its something to play. I finished middle of the pack last night. Couple observations.. 1. health status doesnt matter (IR players play) 2. no last minute bombs going off before lock 3. seems points are literally random. (Harden had a monster matchup and scored just 29 fdpts). --any other thoughts about this please add.

All I know is that if some medical scientist comes out saying there's a less lethal, but just as contagious form of the virus, and they decide to name it "Corona Light", I'm done.

Well now what do we do :(

They are doing it automatically. It should show up as FD points if you check your account.

have fanduel automatically refunded or do i need to contact them?

Refunded ?? I was told site credit

So fanduel refunded everyone but they're letting people keep winnings? They haven't taken mine yet. (fingers crossed.)

Devin Booker's reaction as he was streaming live on Twitch is classic! Warning: there IS profanity! https://twitter.com/YahooSportsNBA/status/1237925640663216128?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1237925640663216128&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yahoo.com%2Fsports%2Fnba-suspend-season-rudy-gobert-coronavirus-test-positive-020639483.html

CJ McCollum's twitter reaction to the NBA suspended season news, and this is NOT a typo..."No games no pay ?? hope everybody saved properly". The HARD truth, there.

Draftkings is doing the same

I find it amusing that everything's been cancelled, yet on Yahoo, I'm still winning $4 dollars...projected to win $8... :|

If you guys didn’t see, Fanduel is refunding everybody that lost money and played players from the canceled games.

Haha, yea it seems pretty likely the MLB season won’t start on time. On a positive note, I’m going to have some time off for the first time in four years. I also can’t go anywhere or do anything, so video games are going to be downloaded.

I know I joke around a lot, if I do echo those sentiments expressed here. I certainly don’t want to see ANYONE else getting sick. But now after seeing how these last few hours have gone, I’m afraid it’s inevitable, to say the least. If we’re back here again, I’ll be here as always. But if not, it was a pleasure and honor chatting with you all back and forth. Stay safe everyone. And please, please PLEASE, don’t PANIC! ;)

Thank for ALL YOUR HELP @Greg!

Right on! That is if they don't cancel the MLB season.

While I have you guys here, I came to an agreement with Awesemo and I’ll be doing baseball content for his site. For those of you looking for baseball stuff, that’s where I will be. I’m not sure if this is the end of the season, but thank you all very much for supporting my work! This is not how I expected tonight to go.

Yeah I made big money this season thanks to BBM. These articles helped a ton!

Made $300 today because that Pelicans Kings are cancelled. With Bradley in my lineup.

Seriously though if this is the end, Greg, thanks for another great season! More valuable than your awesome plays is your willingness to answer questions and provide great conversations and insights.

I know NBA DFS is crazy, but there is absolutely no way a slate can be more bizarre than this one. Yes, I said it two days ago and meant it.

That's a wrap! Won 3x heading into the break!

Greg I'm disappointed you weren't able to predict these Coronavirus cancellations. Where's my refund

As it stands I'm profiting...also overweight on everybody on the late game. Too bad they cancelled it...could've had a huge night. zion and jrue's ownership is low for some reason.

I’m not much for overreacting, but we clearly have a serious situation going on and I hope everybody stays healthy

I had 45% boban in my 170 lineups. Best one has 315 with Gallo haha. Fricken Corona

holy crap you're right...you got some inside info there Greg.

Not a player, Courtney Kirkland ref’d the Jazz/Raptors game on Monday

Another player is sick from the NO game? Who is it?

With everything that's happened in the last 12 hours, impossible to predict what things will look like in a week or a month. Hard to rule anything out at this point.

Of course, it looks like the late is going to be canceled because it looks like somebody is sick there too.

I wish I global swapped all bradley to him. thought crossed my mind for a brief moment but didn't pull the trigger

in light of all the craziness tonight, another fact got reinforced...Dont fade the BOBAN when he starts

good point, but to what end? Do all restaurant shuts down soon given entertainment shutting down? At what point would it cripple how society would function?

Slowing down the inevitable is precisely the goal of all the preventative measures and restrictions, and is critical to minimizing casualties. The most important thing at this point is to ensure that health care facilities do not become overwhelmed.

the truth is, outside of everybody going full zombie apocalypse mode, not sure how this is going to get better until a vaccine is developed. And I heard that's months if not a year away. All we're doing is slowing down the inevitable.

Who knows. It’s frustrating how poorly all of this is being handled. I really hope nobody else gets sick from how the NBA is handling this, but it’s likely inevitable.

I wonder if starters would get extra run given this is their last game

Boban/Bradley lineups with Luka/Trae are actually doing well for me. I doubt they hold past the late game though. I can’t believe they are still playing it. So stupid.

In honor of the NBA suspending the season, I will pivot to Richaun Holmes starting for the Kings... :P ;D

corona virus is no joke...nba probably should've suspended the games starting a few days ago when it escalated

Been fun boys!!

O...M...G!!! I just saw it! He gets up, starts to leave the table, then goes BACK and touches EVERYTHING!!! ROTFLMAO!!! Unbelievable...

lol mice...new theory on where corona came from!

Pelicans/Kings cancelled?

Video was from yesterday...and he RUBBED dem mics, not just touched.

*mics

My daughter just said that there’s video of Gobert touching all the mice during pre or post game with the press this past Monday night. Shit just got REAL.

HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO ENJOY MY EXPECTED POSITIVE REGRESSION?!?!?

I can’t believe I thought 2 days ago was the worst slate in nba history and then we get the season suspended during games today

they already announced that they will play the game out tonight. suspension starts AFTER tonight

Sooooo... That just happened. I'm trying to get money back in all season long fantasy games I have. Smh

Anyone got odds on NOR/SAC getting the ax tonight?

just heard...looks like NO game will still be played out

holy crap...season suspended

Gobert tested positive for Corona. I’ve officially seen it all.

@five they ended up starting Solomon hill instead of Olynyk

I pivoted to Bojan in a few lines because I was leaving too much salary trying to work in Boban and Bradley. Only played $14 dollars tonight. I’m mobile right now, but last I checked, I was winning about $9 dollars, projected (Yahoo) for $31. If I come out with ANYTHING, I’ll be happy. :?

Didn’t see it but what happened to Olynyk

I think gallo is fairly popular

Are players from that game even owned outside of Tony Bradley?

@sboy I am guessing profits will be kept. They might refund people for lost entry fees. There is almost no chance I’ll be profitable with my exposure to Bradley.

Played all 6 nba slates tonight,4 of them dead. Go Express!! Go Turboooooooooo!! You're my only chance :\

I think there’s a decent chance FD/DK will offer refunds if you try contacting support. This is a really bizarre situation. Even more so than usual for NBA.

So if we win big do we get to keep winnings? Draft Kings will likely refund people I assume that got screwed. Winners should be allowed to prosper, while draftkings refunds those that had OKC/UTAH players

Hysteria runnin wild in Murica

I don't think you can win a GPP with bradley in your lineup, but you can probably still comfortably cash given how high OKC is owned.

Good news lines in main slate gpp FD not affected by postponement but gpp after hours total loss! Should be an interesting evening!

FD GPP I played Bradley but my team is beasting. This may still work in my favor.

silver lining...I have ZERO of that game outside of 70% bradley. At least shai and gallo are over 25% owned.

Game officially cancelled

Have to worry if we are close to the season getting canceled

Postponed

shit...game postponed

I’m just surprised no one has reported a spike in Modelo sales, due to the mass exodus of Corona drinkers...

tony bradley nooooo!!! should've completely pivoted to boban...but unfortunately I only did like 20%

I just heard about UTA/OKC. :|

Davante Graham is playing like he sucked on some Corona Virus

Does Gobert really have Corona virus?

Gobert might actually have corona

Does Gobert really have Corona virus?

Well I faded most of that game except have 50 lineups with Gallinari. No Bradley.

Slate is ruined. Totally nuts way this time.

Gobert may have Corona Virus (FOR REAL). Game likely canceled

Lol, OKC/Uta delayed

I kid you not. They Jazz game may be postponed (cancelled now).

Low owned Boban!

@sotex no don’t leave that much money on the table

@whiteshadow Bradley

@gros holiday

So, Boban or Bradley over Adams, even if leaving $11 dollars on the table (on Yahoo)?

Fox Boban or Paul Bradley

fox bobab or paul bradeley

Holiday or Mitchell, factoring in FD price?

I didn't see word on Gobert, but it Jazz Twit is saying Bradley starting

@zzorb it’s hard for me to justify him over Bradley and Boban from a value sense

@lejohn Luka is my favorite play tonight

Thoughts on Adams going after the weaker Cs now?

Can I safely fade luka in the 3 game night slate and go balanced with Fox Holiday and Zion?

@whiteshadow Bradley

@stews yes

Boban or Bradley?

If you had WCS in a couple lines would you suggest swapping to Boban Greg?

Boban starting. He’s worth adding to the player pool.

Injury news is always a disaster this time of the season

stuck with bradley on fanduel i hope gobert is out

Thanks. Just didn't know if I needed to roll Olynyk

@joecarter I’m waiting for news. There’s late swap, so no need to make the decision now,

@bm the Jazz tweeted he was out, so I’m not sure why they are blaming the reporter

@whiteshadow Collins. I can’t imagine a scenario where I would to leave over $1,000 in salary on the table.

@White hes not upgraded, reporter just misunderstood the question

Sticking with Bradley on DK or pivot?

Ugh Then with 3 fouls. I nearly faded him, oh well.

Cody Martin or Huerter or Barrett?

Gobert upgraded hahaha F Me

No it doesnt

ugh...gobert

@whitesgadow does price matter? There’s a huge there.

I just see how hes got 44% projected ownership and I'm extremely under that so bit worried.

Collins or Randle

NBA end of season never fails

Gobert questionable now

@addison I have a slight amount of exposure to him, but I’m wary about how well he will play since he’s sick

@rsigler the first build I make is absent setting exposures. I see who the projections like the most. Then I go in and change exposure min/max based on how much I like individual guys.

How do you feel about nunn?

Hey Greg, (or anyone else) how do you go about setting your minimum exposures? Do you have a system? Do you eyebell it? Or do you just take what the opto gives you? I use Fantasy Cruncher, so I don't really have a clue about the whole minimum exposure thing.

@gros Barrett and graham

Hill also only scores about 0.7 FP per minute. He probably needs over 30 minutes to be reliable.

on the grizzlies

Hill started 3 times this season and played at least 25 min

Also, Barrett or Huerter?

Graham or SGA, price doesn't matter?

It seems unlikely to me he will play much or do much in those minutes since that’s always been his MO

hill starting...thoughts?

@jack Bradley is in almost all my lineups

@bm I am guessing he plays more

Bam is my favorite expensive PF

Atlanta has been the nut match up for centers. Curious why Mitch Rob isn’t in your pool

@abg Bradley

To clarify, I like Cody

@junkoo my core plays Doncic, Bradley, Young, Dragic, Martin

thoughts on projected minutes for bradley at 23?

Bam or Randle

Favorite PF to pay up for?

Who do u trust more for cash Zeller or bradley

Would you run both Martin brothers anywhere, if you could?

Gobert OUT

Gobert out

Yahoo GPP, G slot, (not chasing points) Nitilikina or Jordan McRae?

Your core plays greg? Pref on yahoo?

@addison 30ish%

My core plays for tonight: kleber, Doncic, Bradley, Young, Dragic, Martin. I found it pretty easy on DK to make young/Luka lineups. For fanduel, I think Luka/Dragic is the combo to go with in cash games.

How much Thon do you have?

Are people playing Bradley on FD?

Which Knicks guys do you like

I have some exposure to Knicks guys. I didn’t go crazy with anybody and Robinson didn’t end up in my player pool.

with Knicks a clusterf$@k, how much do you trust them against the Hawks i.e Randle, Elf, MitchRob?

@duncan Jokic

@whiteshadow I have 10% WCS. It’s a weird spot because he could start or he could barely play. I’ll end up rostering him a lot of starting.

@sjm if price doesn’t matter, Fox and Jrue

Jokic or Embiid Fanduel gpp?

WCS in play now?

and wood or jrue better for cash?

fox or graham better play for cash?

I’ll know in like 5 minutes

Not sure yet. Rerunning my lineups with DFS out.

thanks for the help, whats your core today?

@abg Bam

@whiteshadow he’s a good play in a vacuum. I expect he’s going to be popular so I’ll probably be underweight to him in tournaments because of the blowout risk and poor matchup.

Collins bam Zion or wood?

Reading that bit of news now makes me want to go out and look for video of Coach Borrego making announcements.

D Graham go to cash play status now?

Cody and Caleb Martin are viable. I prefer Cody.

“Coach Borrego obnoxiously extorted that "one of" the Martin twins will start in Rozier's place.” ROTFLMAO!!!!

@abg I like taking shots on Bradley in case Gobert sits. If you don’t like to take that kind of risk, Zeller has a safe floor and appears locked into the starting role.

no rozier today any value plays there?

How likely do we think the chances of Gobert being listed out are?

Ok, thanks, struggling with another low priced player around$4.5k

favorite center on fan duel?

Nope. For now, I am not rostering him.

any word on Embiid's playing time

I like bam on fanduel

do you now like Bam for cash

@sjm I like holiday the most of those guys

For the Heat, I am a bit wary of Nunn since he’s sick. I like Dragic, Crowder and Olynyk.

Late night talk show host and pro NBA player :)

Fox, ingram, jrue holiday rank for cash?

I want to play OKC guys, especially if Stephen Colbert is out.

Ok, thanks, struggling with another low priced player around$4.5k

Crowder

With Herro/Nunn playing with Butler out, are you interested in anyone on Miami?

Greg is Nunn a good play now for MIA? Who is the biggest beneficiary of Butler being out?

@mark/jack I don’t have Lonzo in my player pool. The Fox part isn’t connected. I’m not sure how he got dragged in.

What all teams have a crowd ban? Any playing tonight?

@mark I don’t have Dedmon in my player pool

Butler out

@Jack, don't normally speak for others, but I don't think he's telling you not to play Ball, just it's not someone he's playing over Fox, though he may have exposure.

If you’re looking at the whole season, then yes Fox has been better. But if you’re looking at last 5 games, Lonzo has been better. It’s almost as if Lonzo’s increase in production has fallen in line with the Pelicans playoff push

I keep seeing Dedmon, you didn't specifically mention him, but what exposure do you have tonight?

FWIW, I don’t like Fox that much. I just have him in my player pool.

Doncic for sure, but don’t know who my second favorite point guard is yet

So you're a Fox/Doncic combo for PG? When does a value play like Dragic take over (assuming 2/3 heat guys are out)?

For me personally, I put 0 weight into what Ball did against the Kings when he was on the Lakers it’s a totally different situation. For this season, Fox is the better fantasy producer than Ball (starter Ball), the ease rankings indicate the matchup is similar on both sides and Fox is cheaper.

@greg But Fox is not too expensive? I’m almost certain Lonzo will outscore Fox tonight. He has the better DVP match up and will most likely play more minutes too. Take a look at this https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=lonzo+ball+fd+points+vs+de%27aaron+fox+game+log

@al3 unless you want single ply

Too early to know. Bradley is primary center target if Gobert sits, which seems fairly likely.

Best center for cash? (FD)

@jack he’s too expensive for me. I think Lonzo has hit his ceiling price.

All the thunder guys have green Ease/DVP's against the Jazz - wierd.

The Pelicans-Kings game should a good one to stack. Both teams are tied in record and are fighting for the last playoff spot. Whoever wins this game has a huge edge over the other team in making the playoffs. I’d expect huge minutes for all the starters and possible overtime. Greg is there a reason you didn’t list Lonzo? He could be the highest scoring player in that game and you know he will get up for a game vs Fox

I’m going to be fading the Det-Philly game entirely, including Wood and Embiid if he plays. Philly is very good at home esp if they get Embiid back. It screams blow out and limited minutes to me

There's no toilet paper anywhere

RJ Barrett a cash play? He was one of the first guys I was locking in tonight. Great matchup and consistently getting 30ish minutes

There's pictures of the Los Angeles freeways at rush hour now that blow my mind

I went to Costco today and that was the most people I have ever seen in an enclosed area. It was mayhem.
