We get to break down an appealing five-game slate for Saturday. I’ve previously touched on how much I enjoy these slates that fall in the four- to six-game range. They’re what I like to consider the “sweet spot” of slates because of their condensed player pools, and the level of difficulty is much easier to tackle compared to their larger 11 game counterparts. Don’t get me wrong, DFS isn’t easy in any regard, but no one will argue that ten teams are much easier to assess and dissect than 22. That holds even truer in the unfortunate era of COVID-19 and its unpredictable nature. No matter the size of the slate, though, there’s information that needs to be assessed and sifted through to uncover which players should be prioritized or which matchups should be more sought after.
That’s one of the main goals of the NBA DFS PRIMER, starting with the schedule/odds to determine which game environments we’re going to elect to target heavily. We’ll then shed light on which players project to be in the best spots for core plays, GPP targets, cash games, and value plays. In conclusion, we’ll wrap things up with price discrepancies that we have uncovered on FanDuel and DraftKings to shed light on opportune player salaries between the two respected sites.
So with a ton to get into, let’s go ahead and kick things off.
