NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Friday, December 6

Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?

Notorious: Anthony Davis
Dean78904: Tyrese Haliburton (Anthony Davis if LeBron James sits out)
tcsmith031: Anthony Davis (FD) / Jayson Tatum (DK)
TJ Zwarych: Anthony Davis

What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?

Notorious: I like small-field tournaments because you don’t have to get too crazy with roster construction, and you feel like you can actually finish at the top of the contests. My plan of attack is to be overweight on two teams in particular — the Lakers and Pacers. They have elite matchups against the Hawks and Bulls. Both teams are shorthanded, which makes them even more appealing.

Dean78904: As usual, my main focus will be single-entry and smaller-field contests. Similar to last night, I’m once again interested in Chicago game stacks. If not IND/CHI stacks, LAL/ATL is my next favorite game, and the availability of LeBron James (currently questionable) is something that could potentially flip the slate.

tcsmith031: I like this slate for 150-max tournaments, so that’s where my focus will be. Just about every game features either a tight spread or a high total. Getting at least a couple of pieces from the UTA/POR game looks like an interesting approach. This game has some shootout potential, yet pOWN% on most of the main pieces pales in comparison to those in the LAL/ATL and IND/CHI games. Fully game-stacking UTA/POR is also viable in some lineups.

TJ Zwarych: I usually like to play 150 lineups, and that’s the case again tonight. There are a couple of games in particular I want to target, with LAL/ATL and IND/CHI being the clear top projected options. I like Taylor’s call about UTA/POR, but I also want to throw SAC/SAS into the mix as well, especially if Victor Wembanyama doesn’t play. I’m comfortable nearly fully fading the other teams on the slate (outside of Boston).

Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
