NBA DFS Core Plays LIVE: Saturday, January 14th

GENERAL SLATE THOUGHTS

8:10 AM ET – Happy Saturday, Grinders! We have a nicely sized six game NBA slate on tap this evening, and it should be a fun one for DFS purposes. The DFS slate will be headlined by an exciting Memphis/Indiana matchup in a game that has a 238 point total.

We also have a fair bit of injury news on this slate, though it is not an overwhelming amount.

Tyrese Haliburton is OUT for the Pacers and will miss some time with elbow and knee injuries. Myles Turner is also OUT. Isaiah Jackson is coming off a 10 point, 10 rebound, 7 block (!) game on Friday. Bennedict Mathurin also had a very strong game. Given the matchup vs. MEM and the 238 total, both will be popular values tonight — especially Jackson ($4,400 FD, $3,000 DK).
