Core Plays LIVE: NBA DFS Picks for Saturday, April 6th
A daily fantasy sports OG, Notorious has been roaming the DFS streets ever since they were invented. He has racked up multiple live final seats and several six-figure tournament wins in his DFS career, and Noto will mix it up in all different types of contests. On weekends, Taylor Smith will guide you through those NBA streets. So, who better to walk you through the madness of an NBA DFS slate? Core Plays LIVE will zoom out on the slate as a whole, zoom in on the best NBA DFS picks, and constantly update as news breaks. Whether you are diving into the slate 5 hours before it starts or 5 minutes before it starts, you’ve come to the right place.
We’ve got the men’s Final Four later tonight, and the NBA apparently decided to get out of the way. We’ve got just 4 games on the schedule today, though just 3 of them will appear on the main slates on DraftKings and FanDuel. One starts at 7 ET, another starts at 8, while the last game tips at 9. Every game also features a point spread of at least 9 as of this writing. Fun!
You never know what chaos may unfold at this late stage of the NBA season, and we do have quite a few questionable tags to monitor as the day goes on. Also, the Grizzlies. Let’s dive right in.

News Updates
Here’s where I’ll update for news.
Team Previews
Detroit Pistons (at BKN): The Pistons are 9-point underdogs in Brooklyn tonight after they fell by 18 points to a skeleton version of the Grizzlies on Friday. Cade Cunningham is questionable after missing the last 2 games, while the team is still without Isaiah Stewart, Ausar Thompson, and Simone Fontecchio, among others. I’d probably fade this team on a bigger slate, but our options are limited on a 3-gamer. Marcus Sasser would start again if Cunningham sits, while Malachi Flynn would play a bigger role off the bench. Flynn followed up his 50-point outing by shooting 0-for-12 last night, which was impressive. Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren aren’t terrible options – especially if Cade is out – while you can find value with Troy Brown, Chimezie Metu, and Tosan Evbuomwan.
