NBA DFS Core Plays LIVE: Friday, February 24th

Andy Means (meansy53), a former Duke basketball walk-on, will be bringing Premium subscribers his top NBA DFS plays to build around on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Everyone’s favorite, Notorious, will be guiding you on Tuesdays and Thursdays. And on weekends, the GPP maestro you all know and love, STLCards, takes the reins.

GENERAL SLATE THOUGHTS

8:05 AM ET: Well, I am back in the saddle after an enjoyable and relatively relaxing All-Star Break. I make my return to an eight-game Friday night slate that, on the surface, looks like it doesn’t have too many moving parts.

But as we saw yesterday, even a week off in the NBA doesn’t guarantee that all healthy bodies will be playing. The Blazers had travel problems, which I can only assume is why Damian Lillard and Jerami Grant got ruled out. Fred VanVleet wasn’t on the injury report at all until right before their game; he went from questionable to out in about 11 minutes. Yesterday was a subtle reminder that we can never truly relax until a game has locked. And you best believe the NBA news cycle in March and April will not be so subtle!

We do have four teams on the second night of a back-to-back tonight, so let’s look there first to see if there might be anything slate-altering when injury reports are released later today.
