Big Winner Spotlight – $10 Becomes $2,000 In One Night for fowldog
FanDueler fowldog, who just joined earlier this month, turned $10 into $2,000 last night with his winning lineup in the $12,500 NBA Slam (missed out? No worries, we run a handful of these every week). Here was his winning lineup:
PG Eric Bledsoe ($6100) – 32 FP
PG Kyle Lowry ($5400) – 28 FP
SG JJ Redick ($5600) – 30 FP
SG DeMar DeRozan ($5600) – 31 FP
SF LeBron James ($9900) – 40 FP
SF Michael Beasley ($4100) – 41 FP
PF Thaddeus Young ($6700) – 27 FP
PF Josh Smith ($8600) – 42 FP
C Al Horford ($7900) – 44 FP
Was there any method to his madness? Well, let’s take a look at the thinking that most likely went into some of his picks:
Eric Bledsoe has been on a tear as the Clips’ starting PG with Chris Paul sidelined.
Kyle Lowry saw more minutes than he had since January 18th. This shouldn’t come as a surprise since Toronto traded Jose Calderon to Detroit earlier in the day.
JJ Redick has seen a ton of action with Arron Afflalo sidelined and had a very attractive matchup against the Knicks.
DeMar DeRozan stood to benefit from a 9-man Raptors rotation that was without Ed Davis and Jose Calderon.
Michael Beasley: with a new attitude and a new coach, Beasley continued his recent mini-tear.
Josh Smith and Al Horford feasted on a depleted Raptors squad that gives up 99.9 points per game.
Fowldog’s draft strategy clearly paid off last night. The big performances above were still enough to withstand the blow of mediocre performances by LeBron James and Thaddeus Young.
