The NBA brings a fairly quiet slate to the table Thursday that consists of only four games. The big news surrounding the matchup between the Nets and Sixers is that Kevin Durant is expected to return to the floor after dealing with COVID-19. Kyrie Irving was also activated from the health and safety protocols, but he still is working his way back into shape. The game is being played in Brooklyn, so he wouldn’t have been eligible to play, anyway, given that he is not vaccinated. The… Source link

As far as Tuesdays go, we have a busy one with eight games scheduled. COVID-19 continues to sideline players at an alarming rate, making for some ugly depth charts across the league.

The only bit of good news about it is that it opens up some value for some cheaper guys, making DFS lineups a little easier to fill out. We certainly have some of our recommendations stepping into more prominent roles, so let’s go ahead and get into… Source link

This week has been very good to me, and I’m ready to roll today. After large slates Friday and Saturday, we’re down to just six games.
