NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Monday, March 2
Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?
Notorious: Nikola Jokic
headChopper: Nikola Jokic
TJ Zwarych: Alperen Sengun (FD) / Nikola Jokic (DK)
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 prefer small-field and single-entry tournaments. My plan of attack tonight is simple: I’m going to be overweight on the team that is shorthanded and has the best matchup on the board. I’m going to have at least 3-4 Nuggets in each of my lineups.
headChopper: I am playing 1 lineup in small-field tournaments. At this point in the slate, without any breaking news hitting yet, I plan on being overweight on several Rockets players not named Alperen Sengun or Kevin Durant. I want the Rockets side pieces in this game. Our early projected ownership has some relatively high numbers on guys I want to fade or be well under the field on, like Tim Hardaway Jr. and Al Horford.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll play 150 lineups in large-field tournaments, and I am considering hitting the lock button on Nikola Jokic because there’s so much cheap value that it’s incredibly easy to get him. On FD, I won’t quite go as heavy because I want to play some of the cheaper options (e.g. Nikola Vucevic). I like some of the cheap value from Boston, Washington, and Denver, so I’ll load up on them while paying up for Jokic, Alperen Sengun, and Jamal Murray.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
