Almost a good day.  I had two goals when manking my lineup.  First, I wanted to included I. Thomas and D. Schroeder as a correlation play. They were playing against each other, and both are rated rather poorly on defense.  I also though that I. Thomas at $8700 was an excellent price.  Being a math teacher and tutor, I tend to think about probability with some of my plays.  At $8700, what are the chances he exceeds value, hits value, and totally busts.  I felt the probability was pretty good that he would exceed or at least hit value.  He got to 4x, so it wasn’t as good as I’d hoped.  However, you know a little bit about my thought process.  My other goals when building the lineup was to get exposure to the IND / HOU game.  On Houston I picked L. Williams and R. Anderson.  Moving forward I’m not sure they should be in the same lineup, as in some ways they fill a similar function.  Also interesting to note.  R. Anderson was out of the game down the stretch.  I may have to fade him moving forward if he’s not getting the late run.  Harden and L. Williams seems to be working well together.  Harden has a healthy teams aside him, so I’m not sure I will be paying these prices for him.  I’m not sure he will hit his huge upside as often.  He doesn’t need too.  On Indiana I rostered Teague, George, and Turner.  They did fine, though neither of them had huge night.  Lastly I went with S. Labissiere to try to save salary.  He didn’t quite get to 4x, though at his price, he isn’t the only reason why the lineup didn’t do well.  Between Labissiere, Thomas, and Anderson, there was definitely room for a higher score.  With these observations in mind, it is on to the next slate on Tuesday.
