NBA DFS Core Plays LIVE: Thursday, April 6th

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

11:00 AM ET:

Four more slates! Four more slates!

Look, I love basketball and I love NBA DFS, but it’s hard to love something that doesn’t love you back. The last few weeks of the regular season seem to get worse every year when it comes to injuries, teams tanking, players resting, and random coaching decisions. I’m ready for the playoffs to start. However, like Ted Lasso, I never give up. We have four more slates to break down and we are going to have a smile on our faces while we do it.

Also, Tiger Woods is on the course at the Masters.

We only have five games on the slate tonight, which feels like a reprieve from the last few slates. We don’t have a single team playing in the second half of a back-to-back, but we still have plenty of injuries to sort out. Before we get into the team previews, let’s look at the injuries for tonight’s slate. I’ll give updates here in the core plays article, but you can also keep up to date with the injuries in the Situation Room.
