NBA DFS Lineup Study 3/19/2022
Welcome to today’s NBA DFS Lineup Study review article. In this article, we’re going to take a look at the winning lineups from the popular 20 max and 150 max tournaments on Draftkings.
The purpose of this review will be to identify roster construction trends that will help us make better lineup decisions as we construct our own lineups eacy day.
Make sure you’re in our Free Discord chat as myself and hundreds of our members discuss these strategies daily, also, if you’re not doing so already, make sure you’re following all of the Rise or Fall social media accounts so you don’t miss any breaking news.
I’ll be using Fantasy Cruncher to help me review each of these lineups. All of our Rise or Fall members save $20 per month on their Fantasy Cruncher subscription, so, if you’re not signed up yet, what are you waiting for?
Day 10 of NBA Lineup Study. Let’s talk about this in the Team Rise or Fall discord in the Ronin-nba channel if you have comments or questions or just want to talk about trends you are seeing.Â
Reminder, we are looking at the winners of the $15 150 max and the $4 20 max on Draftkings only. For like sized slates today, I compared the 4 slates I have tracked in the 10 and above game range as last night was a 12 game slate.
Today’s thought is about ownership in regard to slate size. I pointed this out in discord this morning, but the ownership on a 12 game slate is much more spread out than ownership on a small slate. Last night’s winning lineups were built vastly different, with one of the winners only having 1 player under 10% owner while the other had 5 players under 10%. In yesterday’s $15 150 max, only 6 players were over 20% owned. 20 players were between 10%-20% owned. The rest of the players were under 10% owned. It doesn’t take much to be different on bigger slates.Â
Let’s get to the stats.
Last night, the 2 winning lineups combined to use 12 players.Â
Rating – 12 out of 12 players had a rating over 50. Total over 10 slates is 86.49%%. Total over 4 like sized slates is 93.48%.   Rating – 11 out of 12 players had a rating over 60. Total over 10 slates is 79.28%. Total over 4 like sized slates is 89.13%.Â
