A much more interesting slate than the Nuggets series, we had a low owned Captain on the winner, but does the winning lineup fall within the ranges we have come to expect?

NBA DFS DraftKings Showdown Review | Heat vs. Celtics Game 5

Last night, in the Draftkings NBA Showdown $800K Friday Shootaround ($200K to 1st, $20 to enter):

We had a 19 way-tie for 1st place last night with 1.8% owned Daniel Theis at Captain. Winners received $23.3K for 1st place. The winning lineup scored a 271.13 and won by 0.63 points:

The winning lineup used a salary of $49,500 and had a Team Ownership Percentage (TO%) of 202.4%. After reviewing past slates, especially of this series, I restricted my optimizer to creating teams with a salary of $49,100 and $49,700 and Team Ownership (TO%) of 170% – 207%. I only played 25 lineups but had a team in first in the fourth quarter and I was happy to see the winning team’s attributes fit into what I predicted.

My biggest mistake last night was not playing Theis or Smart at Captain thinking they did not have enough upside, but this is NBA DFS. I thought the easiest play of the slate was not playing Jason Tatum at Captain since he was projected to carry 20%+ ownership.

Second place finishers received $814.81 on their $20 entry fee for having the second-best lineup possible out of 44,777 entries. Their lineup used a salary of $49,800 and had a TO% of 180.1%:

Boom of the night goes to Theis who put up 39.75 points (8x for $5,000 @29.1%). Bust goes to the hero of Game 4, Tyler Herro. Herro put up 19.25 points (2.5x for $7,800 @ 38.2%). Robert Williams did not see the floor and was in 15.3% of lineups. Enes Kanter was looking like the key to the slate early but Theis’ great play kept him in the game and Kanter on the bench in the second making him not needed.

The 150-Maxers

The GPP last night was 44,777 entries, 16,429 entrants, 2,455 (14.9%) of whom made money. Biggest winner profited $68, 843 while the biggest loser lost $2,905.

We had 47 150 maxers, making up a smaller than usual 15.7% of the field. Unlike the last two days, 150 maxers did well last night. 10/47 150 maxers made money while nine cashed less than 25 lineups and only two cashed 10 or less. One 150 maxer had three shares of first place for $68,000 profit and we had seven different 150 maxers in 1st place! In total, 9 of the 19 first place finishers were 150 maxers.

The most popular lineup was played 603 times, had a salary of $49,900 and a TO% of 224.9%.

38% of lineups played had a higher TO% than the winner and 68.8% of lineups played had a salary higher than the winner.

Tonight, we have game 5 of the NBA DFS Showdown slate featuring the Nuggets and the Lakers. Good luck!
