NBA DFS & Props Shows w/ Tyler & Shannon

DFS Main Slate Rundown 📰

Depending on your DFS site of choice, you’ll be looking at a drastically different NBA main slate today. DraftKings will feature a smaller six-game slate, nixing the four late games in the 10 o’clock window. Meanwhile, FanDuel will have all ten games on their main slate. There are a TON of key injury impacts to factor in, so it’s going to be a classic late-season NBA slate. All 30 teams have just three remaining games on their regular season schedule so it’s more important than ever to stay on top of the news and factor in playoff implications when building your player pool. I honestly don’t blame anyone if they’re putting their NBA DFS interests on hold until the playoffs arrive. That said, if you’re still grinding it at this point… best of luck!

Note: I’ve been dealing with some annoying technical difficulties today and had to get The Masters and MLB newsletters together before this one, so this will be a VERY bare-bones NBA newsletter so that I can get it pushed out in time! I’ll essentially just be listing off the plays I like the most on this slate at each position while making brief comments where needed. If you haven’t already, give Tyler’s DFS video (posted above) a watch for a more detailed slate breakdown.
