NBA DFS Podcast for Jan. 4 Jan 04, 2019

Show notes

Lots of games, lots of back-to-back sets, lots of injuries and lots of potential blowouts, so a lot of value.

We'll go over the Bulls and who should step up both in the starting lineup and off the bench. Plus, we'll hit some fantasy pickups.

Keep an eye out on some resting players today, and there is plenty of value to spend up for Giannis Antetokounmpo and Russell Westbrook.

Plus, the Celtics are without Kyrie Irving again, so it could be another big Terry Rozier game.

Enjoy the weekend!
