I had a great DFS day yesterday, but, man, did the betting just kill my vibe. My best bet was the Sacramento-New Orleans over, and if you were on that as well, you know how devastating that 32-point fourth quarter was. That’s just the nature of basketball sometimes because it’s genuinely unpredictable. Our goal here is to limit some of that unpredictability, so let’s get into this Thursday card!
After a massive 11-game ledger on Wednesday, we’re down to just five games here. What’s crazy is how volatile the center position is. It feels like every starting center is injured, and it’ll cause chaos on this slate. The center position is the best position to capitalize for DraftKings, and it should make things fun!

Jimmy Butler (SF – MIA): $10,700 DraftKings, $10,300 FanDuel
Jimmy Buckets has always been one of my favorite players, and he’s beyond hungry this season. The former All-Star has at least 37 DraftKings points in every game this year, dropping 47-plus in each of his last five games. That seems likely to happen again here, with Boston ranked dead-last in total defense.
