Win $100 in Tonight’s Freeroll
With about ten hours to the deadline, we are closing in on 400 teams in the Sheridan Hoops Freeroll. It’s absolutely free to play and there’s $300 in guaranteed prize money, so you should give it a try.
There are also cash leagues tonight, with larger prize pools and a limited number of entries. Your odds are even better there. In today’s chart, the prices are NOT for the Freeroll — salaries for that contest were set several days ago. My picks are for the many other Friday leagues that close at 7:00 EDT.
As always when Miami plays, it’s a tough call whether to invest almost 25% of your salary cap on LeBron James, or try to beat him. With no real incentive tonight, the King may not be in full triple-double mode, so I’ll pass.

Enter early, before the best contests fill, then you can make roster adjustments later. Be sure to check for updates on various injuries, scheduled rest and other breaking news before finalizing your lineups. Here’s mine, for now:
F1 Spencer Hawes (PHI-F) $15,443
F2 Jeff Green (BOS-F) $11,928
G1 Jameer Nelson (ORL-G) $11,634
G2 Jose Calderon (DET-G) $11,407
C1 Greg Monroe (DET-C) $15,288
C2 Brook Lopez (BKN-C) $14,452
U1 Gordon Hayward (UTA-G) $11,506
U2 Jerryd Bayless (MEM-G) $8,116
I’m not crazy about the lowest-priced tier tonight, which makes it hard to try the “Stars-and-Scrubs” approach. Aiming for consistent performance from all eight guys seems like the way to go, but there are countless possibilities. Good luck!
