NBA DFS GPP Picks: Best Cash Game & Quick Picks for EVERY GAME
When you see “N/A” in the Chalk and Cash Game sections, it means no clear high-ownership value plays or strong contrarian GPP targets stand out. In those cases, it’s often best to pivot elsewhere, focusing on slates where the edge is sharper and the competition is softer.
