NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Monday, November 25
Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?
Notorious: Jaden Ivey
headChopper: Jaden Ivey
Dean78904: Kyrie Irving (FD) / Nikola Jokic (DK)
ncorfield8k: Jaden Ivey
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 tournaments. For tonight’s slate, I plan to lock Jaden Ivey and Tobias Harris into all of my lineups. The spot is too good for me to ignore. They both see massive usage and FP/min boosts with Cade Cunningham (doubtful) off the floor and draw a home matchup against the Raptors, who have allowed the 5th-most points per game this season.
headChopper: I’m focusing on single-entry and small-field GPPs with hand-built lineups. I plan to use Jaden Ivey in all three of my lineups, along with other players I like (TBD) in two out of the three, putting me well over the field on those guys. I’ll round out my lineups with some lower-pOWN% players once projected ownership numbers become more accurate closer to tip-off.

Dean78904: I will mostly focus on single-entry and 3-entry-max type of contests. With 7 teams playing on the back half of a back-to-back, there is a lot of news still settling, with the promise of more to come. As things stand right now, I’m thinking about mini game stacks. I have several ideas, but the leader in the clubhouse is currently Franz Wagner, LaMelo Ball, one of the cheap Hornets (e.g., Tidjane Salaun, Moussa Diabate), and possibly more, pending Orlando injury news (Jalen Suggs and Wendell Carter are currently questionable).
ncorfield8k: Large-field tournaments – There are many questionable players on this slate. Much of the field will be distracted by Monday Night Football. This is a great slate, once again, to plan ahead for potential late swaps and avoid questionable value plays in the early games.
