$200K Sharpshooter ($10K to 1st!) — $3 entry

$500K MEGA Crossover ($100K to 1st) — $27 entry

Last night, sucked again. Although we made some good picks in Deron Williams (45 points), Danilo Gallinari (39.75 points), and Gorgui Dieng (38.5 points) are “prayer-players” took a giant poop. Stoudemire, Reggie Jackson, and Norris Cole all underperformed and killed our tournaments.
Enough with the bad shit, let’s make some picks.
GIANT $5 Double Up — Entry $5
$180K Sharpshooter — Entry $3
Our bankroll is getting depleted a little too quickly so we are rolling with a Double Up tonight.
Chris Paul. We never like to chase points — meaning that if someone had a big night in the game before we are skeptical that they can do it again. However, Paul has only had 1 sub-40 point performance in the last 6 games. His Clippers are taking on a Warriors team that is coming off a loss and giving up 51 REAL points to Damian Lillard. Paul should have a good night.
Jamal Crawford. Mr. 6th Man is also Mr. Reliable. Crawford is averaging 31+ points over his last 7 games. He will enjoy the fast pace matchup agains the Warriors and we imagine the veteran will enjoy the challenging of facing the spectacular shooting of the Warriors.
Harrison Barnes. This is a wildcard. The Clippers are weak at the Forward position but with the addition of Jeff Green at the trade deadline who knows how that will impact their team. We imagine it will take a couple of games for them to figure it out and Barnes should benefit from that tonight.
Jabari Parker. The Atlanta Hawks love to score, hat to play defense. Parker has been on fire recently and is still available at a good value.
DeAndre Jordan. This is my anti-pick. Most people will be scared of playing Jordan against the Warriors but I think he will be in for a 20+ rebound performance. Even if he doesn’t score a lot he will return value.
Michael Carter-Williams. Williams is at good value and playing that Atlanta team, you know, who hates defense.
Kent Bazemore. The only team that hates defense more than the Hawks is the Bucks. Bazemore is always good for a sneaky 30 point performance.
Goran Dragic. The Heat are without Bosh and Wade tonight and taking on a Wizards team that is playing its 3rd consecutive game and is normally terrible against opposing PGs. Dragic could be in for a monster night.
