NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, April 18
Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?
tcsmith031: Nikola Jokic
Krayton: Nikola Jokic
TJ Zwarych: Nikola Jokic (FD) / LeBron James (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?
tcsmith031: I’ll play single-entry and 20-max GPPs. I don’t want much exposure to the TOR/CLE game beyond Jarrett Allen. I’d also like to leave at least 3 roster spots open for the HOU/LAL game. There is a lot of cheap value worth targeting with the Lakers, while I’d like to retain some flexibility if Kevin Durant (Q) happens to sit. While I don’t expect KD to miss this game, I do think there is a lot of value in having the ability to make swaps when much of the field will be locked into players from earlier games.
Krayton: I will be playing single-entry and 20-max contests on both sites. I will be locking in Nikola Jokic and playing LeBron James where I can. Minnesota is a team I want to be overweight on, as they aren’t projected to be as highly owned as the Lakers and the Nuggets.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll be playing 150 lineups in large-field GPPs, and I plan on loading up on Minnesota, Denver, and the Lakers. I’ll likely avoid the first game as much as possible, while mixing and matching different Wolves and Rockets to pair with Nikola Jokic and LeBron James.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?

About the Author
Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
