What’s going on Mafia? I hope everyone enjoyed the shortened NBA offseason. We waste no time and are handed a massive 13-game slate on day two of the season. The sites have some nice contests in their lobbies for us to go after, so let’s get right into it.

Slate Notes:
- Night two of the season and covid is already casuing us problems in Houston. Tune into the live stream at 5pm for updates on their rotation.
- Overall pricing is fairly soft tonight with several elite value plays. In turn scoring tonight will be extremely high. Let’s focus on building with guys that have massive ceilings vs high floor/low ceiling players.
General Thoughts/Strategy:
- Chalk: Unlike other sports, chalk in NBA is not always a bad thing, even in GPP’s. I’m much more willing to play a 40% owned James Harden than I am any baseball player at that ownership. NBA is far more predictable, especially those with established roles as we progress through the season.
