Well, dang it. Tyreke (along with Durant) let me down last night and the team I posted in my blog fell just short of cashing in the $4 tournament.
That being said, there's always today!
My early "skeleton" lineup looks like this:
PG: Kyle Lowry
SG: Nick Young
SF: Tobias Harris
PF: Ersan Ilyasova
C: Mark Gasol
G: Mike Conley
F: Dario Saric
UTL: Harrison Barnes
This will obviously change a bit before lock, but I am a huge Conley fan (when and if he plays) and it's hard to ignore how hot Gasol and Ersan have been.
If Okafor is out, I believe Saric is a great start. He's been trending up in minutes and has been producing when given the chance.
Kyle Lowry is facing a Spurs team that struggles to guard the PG position, but I may pivot off of him in what could be a slow paced game.
Harrison Barnes has been, and rightfully so, the focus of the Dallas offense and this game should be pretty high scoring overall.
Last but not least, Swaggy P! Nick Young vs Memphis as a little birdie told me today that the Grizz have a hard time guarding the SG slot, so I'm trusting his judgement (little birdie also told me to start Trevor Booker last night and I didn't listen).
