My NBA DFS core plays are the basis of your teams for cash and GPP. For a cash lineup, you will fill out your roster with other starters and players with safe minutes. For tournaments, you will use 1 or 2 leverage plays mixed in with other cash style players. Good luck!
NBA DFS Core 4
This is the lowest price Harden has been this year and he only needs 63 to have 6 times his value. Don’t overthink this one.
Marquese Chriss (4,100)
Chriss can make or break lineups usually bt at this price with 30 guaranteed minutes, he’s one of the best values on this slate. Ky Bowman could be a sneaky pivot here.
Dejounte Murray (5,900)
Murray has played about 28 minutes a game and gets to play the lowly warriors. At this price with expected low ownership, Murray is a core and leverage play at the same time.
Fred VanVleet (8,400)
Cleveland is terrible against guards. VanVleet is always slightly underpriced compared to Lowry and gets an insane amount of usage. This is a slow game but one where Toronto can score points in droves.
NBA DFS Leverage Plays
Luke Doncic (11,600)
Ky Bowman (3,100)
Will Barton (6,400)
Jerami Grant (4,600)
Slate Thoughts
The Warriors have the 4th best defensive matchup today and should only be chalky from their value players. I’m inclined to pay up for the more expensive guys like Lee, Draymond, and Robinson. With Harden being the backbone of my lineups and coming in at only 10,500, it’s not difficult to build a balanced lineup around him.
