• Nickeil Alexander-Walker gets a usage boost here as well and is another good value option.
As I anticipated, going after these cash game plays dfs today 1/13/20 plays
Here's my late night Capatin Slate locks:
Late bonus: Showdwon Slate: Clevland @ LAL
Top Captain Picks for Cash or GPP: LBJ:
It looks to me as if AD is out and LBJ will take over this game. It happens quite often. No one compares in consistency and upside. The Optimizer also likes him on. I might go %80 here if playing a max 20 MME on Draftkings.
Utilities:
Cedi Osman. Has the most upside perhaps for the CAVS. You could also try and fit in Love and/or Thompson.
J. McGee Great stack partner here for Lebron, as he loves to assist guys cutting to the rim. You could also consider Kuzma in this spot.
If your going CAVS backcourt just stick with Garland and Sexton. Pretty obvious.
For more Lakers to stack, look at Danny Green, Avery Bradley, and/or KCP and hope 1 or 2 get hot from 3 pt. line.
