NBA DFS Core Plays LIVE: Tuesday, March 21st

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: Happy Tuesday everyone. We officially have 20 days left in the regular season. There are a lot of teams battling for playoff teams, a lot of teams battling to make it into the playoffs, and a few teams that are battling to be the worst team in the league. We have six gams on the schedule this evening with only one team (Sacramento) playing in the second half of a back-to-back. It’s been the case most of the season, but this is always the time of the year where if you are playing DFS, you want to be glued to your computer or phone right up to lineup lock and then every half-hour increment after that.

We have a lot to get through on this slate, so the team previews will be the meat and potatoes of the article. Speaking of, when I was in sixth grade I went to an overnight basketball camp at the University of Utah. There were hundreds of kids there and the number one priority of the coaches was seemingly to bulk everyone up. They had everyone chanting “MEAT AND POTATOES” everyday for minutes on end. It was one of the stranger memories of my childhood. For four days, I was in a cult that worshipped steak and starches. Now that I think about it, that would have been a much better chant, “STEAK AND STARCHES.”

Anyway, here’s a quick look at the injury landscape for tonight’s slate:
