NBA DFS Core Plays LIVE: Monday, January 2nd

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

8:00 AM ET: Many thanks to our RG teammates, Noto and Eys, for covering for me and STLCards while we were out for the holidays. From what I saw, there was some good (e.g. scorching hot NBA DFS takes) and some bad (let’s just call them questionable condiment takes) in this space over the past week, but I know all of you were in good hands.

As for me, I had a nice little escape from the hustle and bustle of the NBA DFS world. I was able to get some good QT in with my family around Christmas time, watched plenty of football and basketball, and enjoyed some nice dinners out on the town with my wife. But as great as all of that was, it’s time to dive back in head first to the craziness of the NBA. As my guy Jay Bilas says, “I gotta go to work!”

I get welcomed back with an “am I sure I didn’t take another week off?” 10-game slate tonight. Luckily, only one of the 20 teams is playing on the second night of a back-to-back, so we do have injury reports submitted from almost every team. But let’s start like I normally do with the team whose injury report we are still waiting on.
