NBA DFS Core Plays LIVE: Sunday, November 27th

Andy Means (meansy53) will be bringing Premium subscribers his top NBA DFS plays to build around for the upcoming slate. A former Duke basketball walk-on, Meansy will also give you his thoughts on the slate as a whole from a macro perspective. On weekends, the GPP maestro you all know and love, STLCards, takes the reins.

GENERAL SLATE THOUGHTS

9:15 AM ET: Happy Sunday, everyone! We have a few afternoon NBA games today, and that leaves us with a relatively small five game main slate. However, unlike yesterday, this is a slate that is likely going to bring us quite a bit of injury news. This could end up being a stars and scrubs slate by the time lineup lock rolls around.

As an aside, how about that performance from Alperen Sengun last night? The big man was questionable all day and ended up almost recording a triple-double. Good for him!

Let’s turn our focus to today’s slate. Here are the primary injuries that I will be keeping an eye on throughout the day and/or the impacts of news that has already broken:

Jayson Tatum – He has been ruled OUT for the Celtics already. Here is a link to the CourtIQ data with Tatum off the floor — from this we can see that Jaylen Brown carries a massive 37.2% usage rate and scores 1.32 (FD) and 1.39 (DK) fantasy points per minute with Tatum off the floor. Brown will be a key building block today.
