DFS NBA Love Like Leave – October 25

Wow, what a start to the DFS NBA season. It has been the tale of two cards so far, with wildly differing results. Opening night resulted in the highest cash line I’ve ever seen, with double up’s frequently having cash lines near 350. It took nearly 500! Fanduel points to take down the main GPP. Yesterday, on the other hand, was a wildly different story. A smaller three game slate, and performances closer to the norm by the chalk allowed for a much more conventional scoreline.

For those of you new to DFS NBA Love Like Leave, it is a series where I attempt to provide insight into a slate by providing you with plays at each position. One of these plays is a guy I “love”, who I think has the best chance at being the #1 PPD play at the position, a guy I “like”, with maximum upside and lower ownership, and one you should “leave” out of your lineups.

Tonight we are gifted with another fantastic 9 game slate. I personally prefer slates that are between 5 and 9 games, so tonight presents the first opportunity at that size slate for me. There are plenty of intriguing spots, and while game totals haven’t been released as I write this, there are several spots that jump off the page.

*Note: As always, NBA injury news comes out through the day like every other sport. I try to keep track of lineup changes and coaches choices on @ZookDFS. Follow me to ensure you get the updated plays and advice, as well as a barrage of sports opinions.*
