NBA DFS Minutes Watch: Volume 1

Article Image

Hey, Grinders! Welcome to the NBA Minutes Watch, a new series which we will use to examine general playing time scenarios and updates for some of the teams with situations that are in flux. We will update this article every weekend heading into the new week of games.

The old adage says that minutes equal money in DFS NBA, and that is even more important over the second half of the regular season. Teams that are tanking tend to tank even harder, and teams that have everything to play for tend to play their primary options more. Injuries become a bigger factor. As such, we need to monitor news and notes more closely.

Each week, I will look at some of the most impactful situations in the league, so let’s get rolling with the most recent edition!
