Congratulations to “knicksfan18” who scored a remarkable 324 points — led by Russell Westbrook (50) and Antawn Jamison (48) — to qualify for the $150,000 DFBBC final and earn a trip to Las Vegas for that event in March.
Things didn’t go as planned in my Friday leagues. Kobe Bryant was content to watch everyone else score for a change, Tyreke Evans was a late scratch and I sure picked the wrong guy between Gerald Wallace (29) and Arron Afflalo (8). The best part about daily fantasy games is, you can forget about those bad nights and start fresh the next day.
I’m now down $52 from this week’s $100 bankroll and tonight is the last chance to get even, as there will be no FanDuel leagues on Sunday — just two NBA games are scheduled. I’ve entered three different teams in the $5K Shot ($2 each) and will join a few other $1 tournaments, then invest the rest in $2 and $5 leagues with fewer players.

It’s a fairly busy Saturday with ten games, which means thousands of possible combinations. The chart lists five players in each of three price ranges, as a sample of who costs what. I’m going with LBJ over KD tonight, hoping the Warriors score big and the Jazz are tired.
You can make unlimited changes to your lineup until 7:30 EST. Here’s mine for the time being:
PG Stephen Curry IND@GS $7,500
