There is a lot of numbers to crunch and information to consume leading up to Friday’s big 11-game NBA slate. Be sure to keep tabs on news throughout the day as there are a few players that are questionable heading into tonight’s matchups.
Note that we are contemplating trying to produce an “Injury Status Flowchart” or “What If” type of article to help guide DFS players through decisions on how to handle late-breaking news on player status each day. Give me a shout out in the Comments if this is a tool you would be interested in using. Something to watch for after the New Year.
The grid below is a snapshot of today’s slate that shows the overall rating for each position for each team. The numbers highlighted in red are the positions that are in the top 25% of their position for the slate and indicate good plays. Meanwhile, the numbers highlighted in blue are the positions that are in the bottom 25% of their respective position for the slate and are positions to avoid.
