NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday, November 1
Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?
tcsmith031: Scottie Barnes
Krayton: Scottie Barnes
TJ Zwarych: Scottie Barnes
How do you plan to beat the field of opponents in the tournaments you will be playing? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
tcsmith031: A balanced build comes together pretty easily on this slate, with mid-range spends like Scottie Barnes, Andrew Nembhard, and Yaxel Lendeborg really popping. I’ll be interested to see if that lowers the ownership on Luka Doncic as a result, especially at $12,300 on the bigger DraftKings slate. I’m still going to make it a point to force Luka into at least 20% of my lineups simply because I’m terrified of fading him. If Luka puts up 80 fantasy points, you can probably live with a couple of $3,500-$4,000 punts not quite coming through.
Krayton: I will be playing single-entry and 20-max contests. On smaller slates with one clear superstar in Luka Doncic, I am looking to be overweight on him, as his ceiling is elite. With Scottie Barnes projected to be the more popular higher-priced play, it’s awfully hard to get both Barnes and Doncic in your lineup, especially on DK. On FD, it’s much easier to get both Doncic and Barnes, and I will be locking in both on that site.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll just be playing one lineup in single-entry contests, and I plan to keep a fairly balanced build, likely with Scottie Barnes or Pascal Siakam as my most expensive piece. I love the $7,000 range a ton, and I will load up on both the Warriors and Pacers.
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.
