Alright, let’s talk about this DraftKings NBA thing, you know, the one where you pick players and hope they do good. I ain’t no expert, but I’ve been watchin’ these fellas runnin’ up and down the court for a while now, so I got some ideas.
First off, you gotta find them fellas who gonna play a lot. I call ’em the “workhorses.” These guys, they don’t sit on the bench much. They’re out there hustlin’, gettin’ points, grabbin’ rebounds, and passin’ the ball. You want guys like that LeBron James fella, always playin’ hard, or that Nikola Jokic, big fella but moves like a guard, always doin’ somethin’. You gotta check who’s playin’ who, too. Some teams, they ain’t so good, so the other team’s stars gonna have a field day. That’s good for us, see?
- Look for the “workhorses” – guys who play a lot of minutes.
- Check the matchups – some teams are easier to score against.
Now, you gotta think about the money part. DraftKings, they give you a salary cap, like a budget. You can’t just pick all the superstars, or you’ll run outta money. You gotta find some bargains, some fellas who don’t cost much but can still put up good numbers. Like, maybe there’s a young fella just startin’ out, and nobody knows about him yet. He might be cheap, but he could go off and get you a bunch of points. I heard some folks call ’em “sleepers.” Yeah, sleepers, that’s a good word for ’em.
I see some folks usin’ these fancy websites and programs, talkin’ about “projections” and “advanced statistics.” I don’t know nothin’ about that. I just look at the games, see who’s playin’ well, and trust my gut. It ain’t always right, but it’s worked for me sometimes. You gotta remember, these fellas are just people, too. Some nights they’re hot, some nights they’re not. That’s just how it is.
Point guards, them fellas are important. They handle the ball a lot, set up the plays, and sometimes they score a bunch, too. You want a good point guard, someone who can pass and shoot. Then you got your shooting guards, they mostly score, so you want someone who’s good at that. Small forwards, they kinda do a bit of everything, gotta be tough and quick. Power forwards, they’re usually big and strong, gettin’ rebounds and scorin’ inside. And then you got your centers, the biggest fellas, they protect the basket and get a lot of rebounds.
You gotta find a good mix, see? You can’t just have all shooters, you need some rebounders, too. And you need guys who can pass the ball, so everyone gets a chance to score. It’s like makin’ a stew, you gotta have all the right ingredients to make it taste good. Same thing with your DraftKings lineup.
And don’t forget about them bonuses and stuff. I heard you can get extra money if you’re new, or if you bet a certain amount. That’s like getting free money, and who don’t like free money? You gotta read the fine print, though. Don’t wanna get tricked into somethin’ you don’t want.
So, there you have it. That’s my two cents on this DraftKings thing. Find the workhorses, look for bargains, get a good mix of players, and don’t be afraid to trust your gut. And remember, it’s all just a game, so have some fun with it. Don’t get too worked up if you don’t win every time. There’s always another game tomorrow. You just gotta keep tryin’ and hope them fellas on your team have a good night.
And lastly, I always say, watch the games if you can. You can learn a lot just by watchin’. See who’s tired, who’s hot, who’s got that fire in their belly. That’s the kinda fella you want on your team.
