Hello, and welcome to November. Here’s hoping you had a fun Halloween full of spooks, haunts, and treats. I prefer my Halloweens without tricks, but to each their own. I also prefer my sunsets not to happen at 4:44 PM, but, sadly, life ain’t fair, and the world is mean.
Football tends to rule the day on Sunday, but there’s still money to be made in the NBA streets. We’ve got a weird, tiny schedule today, so let’s dive right in.
Slate Overview
There are just four NBA games on the schedule, and DraftKings decided to toss them all into one main slate. This one starts at 3:30 PM ET (just before sunset!), a whopping 5.5 hours before the final game of the night at 9 PM ET. FanDuel uncharacteristically decided to take the more conservative approach and omit the early BOS/ORL game, making it a 3-game slate tipping off at 5 PM ET.
Fortunately, there isn’t a lot of pending news. So barring some weirdness, you probably won’t have to sit around your computer and babysit your lineups all night long.
