Quote of the day
"Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted." -- John Lennon (1940-1980)

Daily blurb
This seems to be the day to remember John Lennon, so I looked for a quote that related in some way to fantasy sports. Today’s quote certainly fits that bill, and although it seems clear that Lennon did say this (albeit not related to fantasy sports), it also appears that he was repeating a similar quote attributed to a number of other people. Nonetheless, the relevance to fantasy sports seems undeniable, so I went with it.

Riding the momentum, I racked up another win in FanDuel. As I was assembling my entry yesterday afternoon, I really didn’t feel comfortable with my choices – and I might have opted to sit the day out, except for the fact that I had committed to comment on my experiences this week, and I felt compelled to plunge ahead. In spite of this sense of foreboding, I steamrolled to a 50 point win, posting a big score of 267, which is about a 90th-%ile score for me in the $55K salary cap format. Go figure. This worked out to be a 7-on-7 contest, as my picks of John Wall and Wes Matthews were matched by my opponent. My uber-cheapie was Wizards forward Trevor Booker, who I hoped would get some extra garbage-time minutes in an expected blowout loss to the Lakers in L.A. As it turned out, the game was closely contested, but Andray Blatche was a surprise scratch, so Booker got decent PT (21 minutes) and produced 22 FDP. (Better to be lucky than smart.) My other opportunistic picks were Nick Batum (getting a start in lieu of suspended Andre Miller) and Brendan Haywood, filling in for a sick Tyson Chandler. Neither of those two fared particularly well (26 FDP combined), but had I not switched into them, I’d have gone with Brad Miller and Travis Outlaw, both who put up total stinkers (8 FDP combined). Kyle Lowry (43) and Dorrell Wright (38) were my stalwarts, Lamar Odom (34) was steady, and Jason Terry (25) held up his end. Here are the individual scoring results for the night.
