Welcome to the Tuesday edition of NBA DFS Picks and Pivots, a fantasy basketball column focused on helping you find the best core lineup for this slate of DFS action!
For those of you finding us for the first time, the concept behind NBA DFS Picks and Pivots is to give you a first look at the day's NBA DFS slate, including our top picks, plays and pivots, using FantasyDraft pricing as a reference, to help you build your best line-up and win big!
Monday's NBA DFS was less about who played and more about who didn't as seven minutes after lock we got the out of nowhere news that one of the most heavily owned plays on the slate in Tyreke Evans was scratched in a great match-up versus the Nets. On the court it is not surprising that the two biggest stars of the night were atop the leaderboard as LeBron James (77) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (60) were two of the top three fantasy producers on the night.
The Nuggets-Heat game was one of my favorite targets on the board last night for the sole reason that both teams had everything to play for and if you had some exposure to this 2OT game then you likely found your way well above the cash line. James Johnson matched Giannis with 60 fantasy points, Kelly Olynyk (58), Nikola Jokic (58) and Will Barton (45) all went off in their expanded minutes in a game that mostly everyone over-looked in tournaments.
The one biggest takeaway I have from last night when you combined the Tyreke Evans news and how the Miami-Denver game played out – JUST PLAY PLAYERS/TEAM WITH SOMETHING TO PLAY FOR. Seriously, it may be that simple as we head down the stretch – isolate the teams with something left to play for and just ignore the rest as those are prime spots for a letdown, late scratches and bankroll drains!
Picks and Pivots is not a simple "best plays" column but rather it focuses on slate strategy and roster construction to help give you insight into how I will look to play this slate. The goal of this article is to dig through the slate, highlight our top plays and help you identify the best slate strategy across your NBA DFS line-ups.
As always, we will look to update our final lineup thoughts prior to lock on our twitter account @FantasyCPR so make sure to give us a follow for all the late breaking lineup news.
Without further ado, let's get into today's slate!
