NBA DFS GPP Picks: Best Cash Game & Quick Picks for EVERY GAME
If you see “N/A” in the Chalk and Cash Game sections, it means there aren’t any obvious high-ownership value plays or strong contrarian GPP targets for that slate. Rather than forcing plays, it’s often wiser to focus on slates where you have a clearer edge.
