NBA DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Primer: Sunday (1/1)

PREMIUM

I hope everyone had a fantastic time bringing in the new year! We’ll open up 2023 in the association with a small three-game slate. Smaller slates are straightforward and easier to navigate. However, they can also make it challenging to find ways to differentiate your lineup. Therefore, value and low-rostered upside plays will be critical, especially in large-field tournaments. With that said, chalk is chalk for a reason, so pay attention to your exposure and when to pivot off a high-percentage play.

Enough small talk, though. Let’s jump into this short slate and start 2023 in the green.
