DFS NBA love, like, leave on opening night – hell NAW

DFS NBA Love Like Leave
I don’t know about everybody else, but this two-week long period from the end of October to the beginning of November is my favorite time of the year. MLB finals, NHL hockey, NFL football, and now, best of all, the NBA (as well as DFS NBA) is returning to us.
For the basketball fans out there, that means the return of my personal favorite sport to watch. For the degenerate DFS players, also like myself, it means the return of the most tilting of fantasy sports.
Thankfully the NBA instituted a rule this year that requires teams to submit an injury report a minimum of 30 minutes before the game starts, and with FanDuel still not offering late swap, those 30 minutes could be imperative to the creation of a winning line.
With the return of the NBA season comes the return of my flagship article, DFS NBA Love, Like, Leave. This kind of article was designed with the NBA in mind, as it should provide a solid basis of options at all positions, while hopefully helping to avoid the chalk that can run rampant in NBA slates.
Coming into the year we are blessed with a high-flying 2 game slate. All 4 teams have explosive players and tons of fantasy upside, with the injury to Zion Williamson being the only damper on what otherwise looks like a fantastic opening night.
Fanduel is offering a *free* $4 entry into the $1 Million Clutch Shot, under the condition that Anthony Davis scores 20 or more points. This is an interesting promotion, and will likely result in a free entry.
*Note: NBA is an unpredictable sport, and DFS NBA news comes out during the day, oftentimes very close to lock. Follow @ZookDFS on twitter for consistent updates through the day, as well as advice based on these changes*
