NBA DFS Core Plays LIVE: Tuesday, March 14th
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
10:50 AM ET: Happy Tuesday everyone! It’s hard to believe, but we have less than a month remaining on the NBA schedule. Most teams have between 12 and 14 games left, so we’ll see many make a push for the playoffs, many make a push for better seeding, and many continue the tanking process. I know we all wish the injury situation was better, but we have to keep a positive attitude if we are going to play DFS over the next month. The injuries and resting of players is only going to get worse until the playoffs start.
This is one of my favorite times of the year, as March Madness starts on Thursday and Girl Scout Cookies are back in our lives. If you are planning to bet on the tournament, make sure to check out ScoresAndOdds, as we have tons of picks rolling in for the big dance, from championship picks to spreads to moneyline parlays.
We have eight games on the slate tonight with three teams playing in the second half of a back-to-back: Detroit, Phoenix, and Milwaukee.
