🏀 NBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Rewind: Analyzing Last Night’s GPPs | Thursday, 3/4

We have made it to the NBA All-Star Break and got one more reminder last night about the unpredictability of NBA, especially around breaks. Paul George was scratched about a minute before lock, rendering 16.3% of lineups dead in DraftKings’ main NBA Daily Fantasy GPP: The NBA $500K Shootaround, $20 to enter, $100,000 to first. Let’s get right into the NBA daily fantasy lineup review.

NBA Daily Fantasy DraftKings GPP Lineup Review | March 4

In this NBA DraftKings GPP, 29,411 total entries came from 10,734 different DFS players, 1,518 (14.1%) of which made a profit. That means 85.9% of DFS players who entered this GPP lost money. DraftKings collected $88,220 in rake for running this GPP while paying $2,000 to the ninth- and 10th-place winners.

The Winner

Congratulations to Na_ricky for taking this GPP down with a 354. He also took second place with 346.25. Na_ricky entered 150 lineups last night, cashing 57 for a profit of $140,568.71. The winning lineup used $49,600 salary and had a cumulative team ownership of 116.1%. The second-place lineup cost more but was lesser owned: $49,800 and 73.3%. I would say Dillon Brooks was the key difference maker here. Brooks put up 50.5 fantasy points for $5,500 (9.2x) at 1.9% ownership. Still, Brooks was just the seventh-best points-per-dollar play last night.

The most popular optimal lineup was played 49 times by 49 different users. The lineup used $49,800 team salary and had a cumulative team ownership of 243.8%. This sad lineup scored a 194.5 and did not cash.

The 150-Maxers

Fifty-four 150-maxers played last night, entering 8,100 lineups and making up 27.5% of entries in this tournament. Fourteen made a profit, while only five cashed 20 lineups or fewer. All told, 150-maxers finished first, second, sixth and eighth.

The most profitable 150-maxer was, of course, Na_ricky, who really dominated last night with five lineups in the top 100. Here is a peek at his player exposures:
