For those that read this article last year, welcome back. For those that are new, thanks for reading! Here is a quick review of what I am trying to accomplish with NBA Core Plays.
First and foremost, the Core Plays I reference below are for cash game formats (e.g. 50/50, H2H, double-ups). They are the players I think you absolutely must have in your cash game lineup(s) on that day’s main slate. There is a ton of great DFS information available nowadays. However, it can also be difficult to comb through all of that information and know whom exactly to put in your lineup. After reading a lot of articles and listening to a few podcasts, you suddenly are left thinking that there are 20 guys you should be putting into your cash game lineup (“Player X is an elite play!”; “Player Y is perfect for cash games!”; “Player Z is viable in all formats!”).

Just wanted to thank you before the break for all your great content. Your stuff has been the best all year. Keep it up!
Thanks meansy as always. Now i did read the part of the article where you mentioned all 3 Mitchell Ingles and Royce O’Neale but what about Favors? Is he not cash viable? Also how do you feel about Dragic and James Johnson tonight in cash?
Satoransky is available for tonight’s game, is he cash viable on this slate ?
Me putting Tyler Dorsey in my lineup

Is 3 Jazz the optimal number tonight?

Favors is for sure cash viable. Those two Heat guys are not, in my opinion.

My lean right now is for sure Delaney and most likely Prince and Collins
Stuck between Ingles & Ingram.

It is pretty clearly Ingram for me, for what it’s worth.
Dame Cash viable tonight? Or are you spending farther down?
With all the value that has opened up is Drummond still the most viable play at C or would you say Davis is the better play here?

I posted an update 75 minutes ago that specifically addresses this.
Ah never saw the update thanks appreciate it.
What do you think about saving a little and dropping down from Beal to Jrue Holiday? Game environment is just so nice in that Pelicans/Lakers game.

Yeah if that money gets you something you like a lot more somewhere else, I think it is viable.
I have also considered forgoing Beal for Harden. That is a viable route if paying down at center. I am still sticking with Mitchell/Beal though.
