NBA Best Bets: Friday, 3/8
Five for Five, Friday Night Action
I did it - five days of NBA newsletters in a row this week! That is on top of pushing out some more preseason MLB content and trying to survive the first round of playoffs in one of my hoops leagues (it’s not looking good TBH).
I’m on another cup of coffee and trying to keep my eyelids from drooping, but I do like this NBA slate tonight. I have a lineup, ONE first-basket bet, and a handful of props for ya’ll. Let’s go.
DraftKings DFS Sample Lineup
Had some success last night with stacking the late game, but then again - a lot of other folks did, too, so profits were small but still solid.
Tonight we have a lot of chalky-looking plays again due to injuries and some really good plays are going to be hard to get away from at their prices.
Here’s where I am at for a cash/hybrid build - quite a bit of chalk here for a tournament, beware.
First Basket Bet
We hit one of these last night (Durant!) at + 500 which paid for the 0-5 start on Wednesday. I don’t like much on the board tonight, so I am going back to Jaren Jackson (+380 on DK) as my only play. This is a fun niche bet, though, and I am going to keep looking into making more.
