NBA – Industry Expert Consensus – December 23rd
NBA DFS Picks – December 23rd
The NBA season tipped off with a two-game appetizer on Tuesday, but Wednesday brings us the main course with a massive 13-game slate on the hardwood. The Consensus list for tonight will be FREE and includes picks from 30 NBA DFS analysts and optimizers from around the industry consolidated. Our Consensus Rankings provide a condensed snapshot of who the industry recommends which is broken down into a Cash section for the most popular plays and a GPP section for options that will be a little less chalky.
We will provide our Consensus Rankings every weekday when the NBA main slate has at least four games. The consensus will start to be “weighted” with the top graded experts’ picks carrying more weight once we get a few days of picks graded.
Look for our next article in time for the Christmas Day slate. Now is a great time to sign up for our premium content with a FREE 7-day trial.
