NBA DFS Playoff Primer: Saturday, May 6
The NBA postseason is finally upon us. We no longer have to worry about players resting, late scratches, and teams trying to lose. For the next couple of months, we get meaningful basketball game after meaningful basketball game. We have decided to combine the Core Plays and the Grind Down into one all-encompassing article for the NBA playoffs. We will break down each slate, sift through the game flow trackers of prior meetings between teams, cover the notable matchups, and provide our favorite NBA DFS targets.
Happy Saturday! This is a truly jam-packed sports day. Not only do we have the NBA and NHL playoffs, but we’ve got a day full of baseball, soccer, and the Kentucky Derby, to boot. What more could you want?
The 2-game NBA slate is an interesting one considering the games tip off 5 hours apart. This afternoon, the Knicks will head down to Miami for Game 3 of their series with the Heat. That series is tied at a game apiece. The Lakers, meanwhile, will return home to host the Warriors in Game 3 of another 1-1 series later tonight.
