It’s Good Friday! And I hope it’s a good Friday for all your DFS endeavors. We have a solid, though maybe light, nine game schedule for this Friday night. Five of the nine feature a spread of 8.5+ so beware of the blowout tonight. If you have not seen, the Mavs are sitting anyone with a pulse so it could be the night to pull the trigger on some money-saving Mavs like Barea and Powell. Let’s get to it!
The numbers in the parenthesis are the number of experts that picked that player to give you more context as to the gaps between players and the tiers.
Highly Touted
