GENERAL SLATE THOUGHTS

8:45 AM ET – Happy Saturday, Grinders! We have our largest Saturday main slate in quite some time this evening, as there are nine games on this DFS docket. Naturally, there is no shortage of news on a slate of this size. Here are the primary spots that I am keeping an eye on:

Dallas – This is perhaps the most impactful spot on the slate. Luka Doncic is OUT tonight, while Kyrie Irving is QUESTIONABLE with a foot issue. If Irving plays, he will be a high upside option with Luka sidelined. Hardaway, Green, and Hardy would all get big bumps if Irving sits.

Milwaukee – Giannis Antetokounmpo has missed the last two games and is QUESTIONABLE again tonight. I presume he will try to play in a nationally televised showdown with Golden State, and we currently have him in early projections. Bobby Portis had a 28/13/2 line the other night, while Jrue Holiday would get a chance to dominate usage if Giannis sits again.
