NBA DFS core plays:

Cash games are easier on large slates because you don’t need to take any big risks. This is still a tough cash slate because of all the high-priced stars on it.

Cash game staples:

Kyrie Irving, Nets
James Harden, Rockets
Jerami Grant, Pistons
John Collins, Hawks
Nikola Jokic, Nuggets

Last year in most weeks the GPP options did so well that most of them could have been used in cash as well. That is the exception, not the rule. Some of these guys are cash game viable, but all are probably best used in GPP formats.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Thunder
Donovan Mitchell, Jazz
Kyle Kuzma, Lakers
Darius Bazley, Thunder
Clint Capela, Hawks

Stacks:

Nets
Hawks
Nuggets
Jazz (GPP only)
Rockets (GPP only)
Trailblazers (GPP only)

Top value plays:

George Hill, Thunder
David Nwaba, Rockets
Luguentz Dort, Thunder
Jae’Sean Tate, Rockets
Marc Gasol, Lakers
