NBA DFS Core Plays LIVE: Thursday, February 23rd
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
10:30 AM ET: We are back!
Did I use the All-Star break to get chores done around the house, workout, improve my diet, and read a book?
No…. did you?
I used the break to recharge the NBA batteries that were running a little low. I also used the break to freshen up on college basketball as we get closer and closer to March Madness. I was able to catch a few of the All-Star events here in Utah — I went to the celebrity game, the Rising Stars game, and the All-Star “practice,” which were all a great time. The highlight of the weekend was my little man dancing his heart out trying to get on the jumbotron. I’m incredibly thankful that he got his outgoing personality and his dancing skills from his momma.
The association is back in action tonight and after the long break, we don’t have a small slate like we usually do on Thursdays. There are nine games on the schedule and obviously, all of them should be well rested. I foolishly thought that most teams would be healthy coming off the break, but that’s a pipe dream in this day and age of the NBA. As usual, let’s start with a recap of the injuries and then I’ll get to the individual team breakdowns. There’s sure to be news throughout the day and I’ll post as much as I can in this article, but do yourself and favor and bookmark the NBA Situation Room.

NOTE: The tables below are unlikely to be updated once the slate locks or at rare times when I happen to be unavailable given that it is the weekend. I will do my best to update as often as possible to prevent stale data.
