I’ll be focusing on my core and GPP plays for the 12/18 DFS NBA for each position along with my favorite value plays.
WithNBA DFS, you need to stay locked in the final hour before lock until tipoff. Ifyou can’t be engaged during that hour, we recommend avoiding the NBA slate.Starting lineups and other news is vital to being successful in NBA DFS.
My Core and Value Plays for ALL Builds :
Sexy 6 – 12/18 DFS
- Davis Bertans, SF/PF – 12/18 DFS
- Hachimura is officially out for the next five games so this means the door has opened for Bertans. I think he will be extra chalky tonight, especially on FD so I don’t hate the play on DK since he’s priced up on that site.
- Ian Mahinmi, C (FD Only) – 12/18 DFS
- Tristan Thompson, C (DK Only) – 12/18 DFS
- Center is my least favorite position tonight, especially on DK, but there is one that stands out and it is far from my favorite play. Thompson is not very trustworthy in DFS, but he faces Charlotte we love targeting the big man against Chicago or Charlotte. Mahinmi is priced too low on FD still and he faces Chicago.
- Jeff Teague, PG – 12/18 DFS
- Karl Anthony-Towns may be OUT and if he is, I’m locking in Teague AND Wiggins, but as of now, let’s think he’s playing tonight. Teague is on the second team and is thriving in this role. They face one of the worst defenses today in the Pelicans and they are on the second night of a back to back after going to OT last night. I’m locked in on Teague!
- Bradley Beal, SG – 12/18 DFS
- The Wizards are beat up and someone has to score against this terrible Chicago team. His usage has gone up and I expect him to go big on BOTH sites.
- Jalen Brunson, PG – 12/18 DFS
- I don’t like the price tag now, but he’s starting and crushing the opportunity. I think I may change him off of the Sexy Six tag by end of the day, but let’s keep him here for now.
- Pascal Siakam, SF on FD / PF/C on DK
- VanVleet is doubtful so bump up to Siakam. He’s another one I may remove the tag off of before lock.
I’ve officially started a DO NOT PLAY list and Blake Griffin is on that list. DO NOT PLAY him until further notice!
Sexy 6 is the basis for all my builds in both cash and GPP builds. I will most likely lock in a minimum of FOUR for every contest. Due to salary constraints, I doubt I can get all six, but I recommend at least four or five of the recommended players.
