The Fall season is here and turkey day is approaching. In the meantime, we have basketball to look forward to for today. Rotations are starting to sharpen and the pace of play is coming into form for each team. We have a different size slate on DraftKings compared to Fanduel. Keep in mind we have teams on back to back games so it could get interesting!

 

 

Ownership will be scattered on the slate and we have star power to look forward to with the likes of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Victor Wembanyama. The stars will shine and injuries will open up value plays on the slate. Time to dig into the NBA DraftKings and Fanduel slate. On DraftKings, we have an 8 game slate while on Fanduel it is a 11 game slate.
