NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Monday, March 9
Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?
Notorious: Nikola Jokic
headChopper: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
TJ Zwarych: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
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: Once again, we have more value than we could ever need for a 5-game slate. The Grizzlies and Warriors are both missing a ton of players, and Golden State has the best matchup in all of NBA DFS (vs. Utah). My plan tonight is simple — I’m going to lock in Nikola Jokic and then surround him from plays on the Grizzlies and Warriors.
headChopper: I prefer a single lineup tonight in small-field tournaments that have limited entries. It’s a smaller slate, and I like being over the field on the number of 76ers that I’ll have in my lineup. With the missing players for that team, that’s a situation I want to attack. Memphis is getting high pOWN% early in the day from several players, and that’s a spot I will organically be underweight on.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll play one lineup in single-entry tournaments, and I’ll play certain chalk pieces of the shorthanded Grizzlies while fading certain others. Olivier-Maxence Prosper, Cam Spencer, and Javon Small are my favorites, while I plan to avoid GG Jackson and Jaylen Wells.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
