Don't know much, if anything at all about the NBA.
So naturally, I decided to try my luck in some NBA Draft Kings!

Here is my team, with my life on the line I honestly could not tell you which team any of them play for lol.
Ricky Rubio - 22.25
Jimmy Butler - 42.0
Kevin Durant - 52.0
Zach Randolph - 33.5
Mason Plumlee - 29.5
Alec Burks - 28.75
Dwight Powell - 30.75
Al-Farouq Aminu - 34
Total Points: 272.75

In: $35
Out: $177

Fantasy Basketball is easily the worse sport for fantasy. I’m in a league and just to show how sporadic it is, here’s Karl-Anthony Towns stats the last few games (1^st overall pick in the draft).
Game1:
32minutes-14points-12rebounds-1Assists-0blocks-3Turnovers
Game 2:
33minutes-28points-14rebounds-2Assists-4blocks-1turnover
Game 3:
27minutes-11points-5rebounds-0Assists-4blocks-4turnovers
Game 4:
22minutes-6points-4rebounds-1assist-3blocks-0turnovers

The game is about minutes=production. It’s a crap shoot in daily leagues at best.

Inconsistency sucks, especially with the 1st overall pick.
All I used was the projections on draft kings lol

T-Ross had a 50pt night out of no where the other yr. It's just so random. A guy finds his stroke, and just keeps getting fed until he loses it. Then there's foul trouble that could pull a starter out of a game early, losing him minutes.

I'd suggest getting some random flyers in basketball, only because if you pick the top players all the time and go by their projections, about 1000 other people are doing the same.

Yeah, I noticed a couple guys had under 10 points who normally earned over 40, hard to predict.
I don't think NBA will become a regular thing for me lol.

I am still yet to win a cent in an NFL contest though!!!
