NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, May 11

Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?

tcsmith031: Luka Doncic is only averaging 1.37 DK FP/minute in the playoffs after posting a terrific 1.76 FP/min. average during the regular season. We can attribute that to his shooting struggles, as his 51.8% true shooting rate in the playoffs pales in comparison to the 61.7% mark he posted during the season.

eys819: Josh Giddey has averaged just 13.8 minutes per game in the first two games of the Dallas series. He averaged 26.5 minutes per game in the series against the Pelicans, so this is a significant adjustment to the rotation.

kmurray03: With Kristaps Porzingis off the floor this season, Jaylen Brown has seen his usage rate rise to over 31%. I will take my chances on the ceiling of Brown when targeting a Celtics player rather than spending more for Jayson Tatum.

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

Robert Brown (Epignosis)

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.
