NBA fastbreak 8-10-20
In this article I’m going to quickly go over some basic slate info to get our day started. This is not going to be an in depth detailed breakdown of each matchup, but more of a Macro view of the slate each morning. I’ll drop some injury blurbs in here as well that we should be monitoring and I’ll try to make a note of what those injuries mean for us in our DFS contests today.
**Take a peek at CeeGee’s famous Study Hubs!

Slate Preview
Still waiting for all of the Vegas lines today, likely because of teams resting players heading into the Playoffs, so I’ll udpdate this when we get them.
Pace up or Pace down
What is Pace? Well, a quick google search leads us a great explanation.
Pace, or how many possessions a team uses per 48 minutes, is something we often discuss when referring to specific teams or even specific eras of NBA history. It goes to the core of a team’s identity, defines it against its peers. Fast teams are fun. They run, they score, they entertain. Slow teams defend.
The Clippers get the biggest bump in pace today, playing against the Bucks. This should be a good situation for Kawhi Leonard and Paul George (if they play). Neither team has much to really play for so we’ll have to monitor this situation.
📈 NBA STUDY HUB IS LIVE! 📈
Come check out our newest STUDY HUB. This will give you a quick overview of the slate. You’ll be able to quickly see how a player has performed vs today’s opponent in the past. You’ll also be able to see his recent Fantasy Point Trends and Minutes Trends, along with how frequently he has paid off today’s current price tag this season.
Injury Situations
DAL – Luka Doncic – OUT
DAL – Kristaps Porzingis – OUT
– With Doncic and Porzingis out there will be plenty of opportunities for the Mavericks secondary players today. Maxi Kleber and Trey Burke should see 30+ minutes here.
– Tim Hardaway Jr could put up a big game as well, if he’s back to full strength
UTA – Donovan Mitchell – Questionable
– If Mitchell is out we should expect to see Jordan Clarkson in the starting lineup and be the teams’ primary scoring option.
– Joe Ingles gets a bump as well with Mitchell off the floor
I love you all, but I can’t give everything away for free. If you want more insight on these injury situations and how they effect tonight’s slate you’ll have to sign up for one of our Patreon Memberships, and jump in the discord with the coaches. As more news drops we will let you know exactly who is out and exactly who benefits with each situation.
Top Plays
I’ve set up a Rating for both Fanduel and Draftkings on the ROF Study Hub. This rating is something I’ve been working on that takes into account several factors of each slate each day. Rather than simply looking at the standard Projection and Value, my hope is that this rating will give us another level of insight each day.
Fanduel
*Mavericks Value*
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Bam Adebayo
Deandre Ayton
Draftkings
*Mavericks Value*
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Jimmy Butler
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Wrap it up
Be careful with NBA DFS late in the Season. I know this “restart” has gotten everyone excited but also remember is really late in the Season. Teams that have Playoff Spots already locked up likely aren’t going to push there veterans or star players too hard. This will lead to some great value opportunities but it can also make NBA DFS much more volatile and unpredictable than it normally is.
