DFS Main Slate Rundown 📰

The final Friday of the NBA regular season arrives and it is a behemoth! All 30 teams are stepping onto the hardwood tonight and 11 games will make it onto the DraftKings and FanDuel main slates. Two regular season games remain for every NBA team. Everyone gets the day off tomorrow before playing their regular season finales on Sunday. At this point, many teams are securely locked in to their respective playoff seeds but there is also plenty of wiggle room left in some parts of the standings. Just a reminder to take a peek at the standings (linked below) to see which teams have something to play for tonight (and Sunday). Other teams with nothing left to play for will be resting some key players and today’s injury report reads like a short novel. To each their own, but I’ll be playing these final two regular season slates very light before really getting back into it for the playoffs.

This will of course be the final NBA regular season newsletter but we will have some content lined up for the playoffs. Just wanted to say, thanks for reading throughout the season -- NBA DFS can be a difficult beast to tame but I hope these articles were at least somewhat helpful at times throughout the season! Whether you’re sticking around for NBA playoffs or moving on to focus more on other sports, I wish you the best of luck in your DFS ventures!

As a general rule of thumb at this late stage of the season, it really helps to focus on games and scenarios that have playoff/seeding implications. You can find the most up-to-date standings by following this link: NBA Standings

DraftKings / FanDuel NBA Cheat Sheet📝

Note: NBA position designations are never going to perfectly align between the major DFS sites. For the purposes of these newsletters, positional designations will default to DraftKings.

Cheat Sheet Note: There were probably a dozen-plus additional players I could’ve added to the cheat sheet today based on hypothetical situations of certain players sitting out. As usual, keep track of the numerous injury situations that may play out once further news is released. E.g. The entire Celtics starting lineup is questionable tonight. If they choose to sit multiple starters, Boston will be a clear source of value.
