Forum Game Game #3 Predictions, Blazers vs Wizards, 10/22/2018

[hoopsjock]

It’s a long season and I’m sure you will be at the top. You have a very analytical type approach. I on the other hand always fall out of the running because I don’t get my prediction in enough times. I’m pretty much the yearly LOSER!

I loathe making these types of predictions and also guessing season win counts but it's still a fun game anyway like making fun of @TorturedBlazerFan for picking the Spurs to win last game.

If I keep picking Defenses with the 3rd overall pick and against the Blazers Ill have to start keeping score for who makes fun of me the best heh.

I know, it's hard when the rules are only posted in the preseason one. From what I've gathered you are supposed to pick the player that will contribute the most value according to this formula:
Player contribution prediction:

Predict which player will have the greatest contribution points for the game. You post the name of the player and their contribution points. The contribution points are calculated as follows:

Points & Rebounds (face value)
Assists & Blocks (value * 1.5)
Steals (value * 2)
Turnovers (value * -2)

Those that picked the right player will be placed above anyone who didn't and then those that did guess the correct player will be ranked by who was closest to the actual value.

Many thanks!

1. Yes.
2. No - Predict high contribution point person (points + rebounds + (assists * 1.5) + (blocks * 1.5) + (steals * 2) - (turnovers * 2)
3. Yes.

Imagine the following lines:
CJ - 29 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 3 turnovers
Dame - 24 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 2 turnovers

CJ Contribution = 32.5 (29 + 3 + 4.5 + 2 - 6)
Dame Contribution = 36 (24 + 2 + 12 + 2 - 4)

CJ is the high scorer but Dame is the overall contribution winner. You would have wanted to pick Dame.

Thanks Gramps!
