Yahoo Perfect 5: Luka Dončić, Evan Mobley and Walker Kessler lead my Friday lineup

Fantasy basketball analyst Dan Titus shares his lineup for Yahoo Perfect 5.

Yahoo Sports introduces a new fantasy basketball game called Perfect 5, where fans can pick five players from the NBA on Prime doubleheader games and stay within a $15 budget. This week's games are the 76ers vs. Cavaliers at 7:30 p.m. ET and the Trail Blazers vs. Lakers at 10 p.m. ET. The game features star players like Luka Dončić, Evan Mobley, Walker Kessler, Sidy Cissoko, and Meleek Thomas.

To build a competitive lineup, fans need to find the right matchups and values in the $1 tier. RotoWire's data and Yahoo projections were used to run 20,000 simulations of the slate. The top-performing lineup, with a projected 159.91 fantasy points, averaged 159.91 points and finished in the top 1% of the field 21.7% of the time.
