GENERAL SLATE THOUGHTS
11:30 AM ET:
Happy Opening Day everyone! Also, happy Thursday and happy week before the Masters. We also have the end of the NBA regular season right around the corner and the conclusion of March Madness. What a time to be a sports fan. I’m not sure if this was done on purpose with the start of baseball being today or if this is one of the classic two-gamers we see on Thursdays, but I really appreciate the small slate. The NBA season can be a grind if you are playing DFS every night, especially at this point of the season. The size of the slate actually makes the slate more appealing, as we can carve out time for both baseball and basketball.
Fun update from here in Utah — it’s still snowing. I woke up this morning to nothing but white outside of the window. Is anyone that lives in a warm weather state (preferably with legalized gambling) looking for two new roomies?
There are only two games on the schedule tonight and they should both be good ones. The Celtics travel to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks, who are playing in the second half of a back-to-back. This game features a 2.5-point spread and a 236.5-point total. In the late game, the Pelicans travel to Denver to take on the Nuggets. This one features a 6-point spread and a 226.5-point total.
Before we get to the team previews, let’s take a quick look at the notable injuries for tonight’s slate (which can be found in the Situation Room.

While I’m working on the team previews, fire up some MLB lineups. We have so much amazing content for Opening Day. The easy route is to hit up LineupHQ and check out the expert play tags and the blurbs, but don’t forget about Cheese’s Million Dollar Musings, Grinders Live, and the MLB Top Stacks article.
NOTE: The closer we get to the slate locking, the less likely it is that I will have the necessary time to update the tables below. For the most up-to-date information, make sure you are watching Crunch Time and monitoring LineupHQ for my Core Play tags and our Premium NBA Projections.
