NBA DFS Core Plays LIVE: Wednesday, April 5th

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

10:00 AM ET:

Merry Masters Eve everyone! Or for those of you that aren’t in the PGA DFS streets, happy five more slates until the end of the regular season day. We have eight games on the schedule tonight and given the fact that there were 13 last night, we are going to have a bunch of teams playing in the second half of a back-to-back. I don’t know about you, but playing NBA DFS right now is extremely difficult. A lineup that you make 30 minutes before lock could be useless 15 minutes later. I’m excited for the playoffs to start, but know that there is still an edge when it comes to grinding news and being able to react to it. We have the best projections team in the industry and believe me when I tell you, they are constantly working behind the scenes (you should see their slack channel).

Here are the 10 teams that are playing in the second half of a back-to-back: Wizards, Hawks, Bulls, Bucks, Raptors, Celtics, Grizzlies, Pelicans, Kings, and Lakers. The injury report looks as fun as ever, so let’s take a look at the injuries before getting into the team previews. As always, you can stay up-to-date with injury news by using the Situation Room.
