NBA DFS Core Plays LIVE: Tuesday, February 28th

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

10:25 AM ET: Happy Tuesday everyone!

The slate is much bigger than we typically see on Tuesdays, so let’s jump right into it. There are 10 games on the schedule, but none of the 20 teams in action tonight are playing in the second half of a back-to-back. While this helps to a certain extent, there is still plenty to talk about on the injury front. Here’s a quick recap of what we are looking at for tonight’s slate:

Out

Goran Dragic
Javonte Green
Wesley Matthews
Ben Simmons
LeBron James
Steven Adams
Jae’Sean Tate
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Aleksej Pokusevski
Davis Bertans
Devin Vassell
Romeo Langford
Isaiah Roby
Khem Birch
Karl-Anthony Towns
Jusuf Nurkic
Anfernee Simons
Justise Winslow
Stephen Curry
Andrew Wiggins
Andre Iguodala
Gary Payton

Doubtful

Kristaps Porzingis
Dennis Schroder
Tre Jones

Questionable

Monte Morris
Jamal Murray
Kevin Porter
De’Aaron Fox
Maxi Kleber
Jaylen Nowell

A quick glance at the projections shows that we should have plenty of value at our disposal tonight when building lineups. I’ll start working on the team-by-team previews and will have the rankings up by 1:00 PM ET. Let’s have a day!

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.
