DFS Main Slate Rundown 📰

Malachi Flynn scored 50 points last night. That tells you about all you need to know about late-season NBA. We’ll have a small main slate in front of us this evening and, depending on your DFS site of choice, you’ll either be looking at a five-game main slate (DraftKings) or a four-gamer (FanDuel). The lone late game (DEN @ LAC) will only be included onto the DK main slate.

Today’s games are actually very interesting by late-season standards. All 10 teams that are in action this evening should be motivated to earn a win in order to take a step toward either improving their playoff seed or clinching a postseason berth. The match-ups themselves are mostly even with four games owning a spread of four points or lower. With every NBA team having between just five and seven games remaining on their regular season schedule, this sort of slate is very much a rarity at this stage of the season. So, for all intents and purposes, we can approach this like a “normal” slate, top to bottom. Should be a fun one! Best of luck!

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 implications. You can find the most up-to-date standings by following this link: NBA Standings
