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
Rose at 5,600 with no Reggie Jackson and in an above-average matchup is an easy play. Denver has been one of the worst teams the last few weeks against point guards and Rose has a 50 point ceiling. He should easily pay off this price tag.
Brandon Ingram (6,800)
Ingram has been underwhelming as of late but his price keeps falling. At this price, he only needs 41 points to off his price tag. The Lakers have been below average defending wing players over the last two weeks and for the narrative crowd, this is a revenge game.
Myles Turner (5,000)
Turner is 5,000 today. If Oladipo sits, there will be plenty of usage to go around against one of the worst teams in the league at guarding centers. Turner occasionally shows a 40 point ceiling and this could be one of those. To pay off this price, he only needs 34.
Gordon Hayward (7,400)
Hayward is the pivot in my core. Tatum is a safer play but at a fraction of the ownership and over 1k cheaper, taking the gamble on Hayward is a good risk. He has 41 or more fantasy points in 3 of his last 4 games and gets the second-highest usage bump from Kemba Walker’s absence.

Slate Thoughts
The chalk build comes together pretty easily today. Rose, Lowry, Ingram, Tatum, and Turner make up most of those. I think this is a solid build as you see most of these in my core tonight. The alternative is to pay up at Center and base your team around Jokic. This would give a completely different roster build and keep your lineup contrarian. Many of my lineups on Draftkings will feature two Centers with Jokic and Turner. Below is the link to my player pool and matchup sheet. Good luck!
