NBA Daily Fantasy Picks & Playbook January 24
Published: Jan 24, 2024
Wednesday's NBA DFS main slate features eight games kicking off at 7pm ET and finishing up at 10pm ET with the Atlanta Hawks taking on the Golden State Warriors as our late night hammer. This slate features some interesting matchups which includes Victor Wembanyama against Chet Holmgren as the Thunder face off against the Spurs. We also have the return of Cade Cunningham for the Pistons as they take on the Charlotte Hornets following their trade of Terry Rozier. Speaking of Rozier, he will make his debut for the Heat tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies so it should be interesting to see how that rotation plays out. We also have the Cleveland Cavaliers taking on the Milwaukee Bucks just a day after firing coach Adrian Griffin and inking Doc Rivers to be the new head coach of the team.
