The first Friday slate of the NBA season features a solid list of 10 games. There are five games with Vegas totals over 210 tonight (see the new section at the bottom of this article for which teams). We could still see some big DFS scores with pricing still trying to catch up to reality and so many high game totals on the slate so aim high with your score expectations to cash. The DFS Industry Experts provided a nice group of mid and low-priced options sprinkled in with a couple of studs to consider when building your lineups tonight. This article will be FREE today but will switch over to Premium Content starting next week so be sure to sign up so you don’t miss it this season.
The Weighted Consensus for the NBA uses each expert’s current DailyOverlay score to generate a Weighted Consensus ranking. To calculate the Weighted Rank Score, each expert’s DailyOverlay score for players is weighted on a sliding scale from 1 to 5 with the top expert in the current standings being weighted with a five while the last place expert is weighted with a one. This method gives the higher rated experts picks more weight when compiling the overall player rankings for the day. We will include all players that generate a Rank Score of at least 10.0.
