NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday, November 8
Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?
tcsmith031: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Krayton: Giannis Antetokounmpo
TJ Zwarych: Giannis Antetokounmpo
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: There are some large point spreads on this slate, so I think game-stacking is viable. A lot of the field will be (rightfully) jamming in Giannis Antetokounmpo, but I’ll still try to take an overweight approach with Cooper Flagg in multi-entry contests. In lineups with Flagg, I’d like to play at least a couple of Nets, with Danny Wolf, Nolan Traore, and Day’Ron Sharpe all grading out as useful value options. If Flagg is going to hit a ceiling in a way that can win you a tournament, Brooklyn will likely have to keep the game competitive.
Krayton: I will be playing single-entry contests. I am looking to lock in both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Cooper Flagg and then build around two of the guys with the highest ceilings. We have enough value with guys like Danny Wolf, Nolan Traore, and Brayden Burries that I like the builds I can get with both Giannis and Flagg. Minnesota is projected to be fairly popular, and I am leaning into being overweight on Ayo Dosunmu instead of the more popular LaMelo Ball.
TJ Zwarych: I’ll just play one lineup in single-entry contests. I plan to be light on the chalky Timberwolves despite the good matchup against Utah. I like pieces of pretty much every other game, but I’ll be looking to spend up for Giannis Antetokounmpo and find cheap pieces of value primarily in Brooklyn and on the Clippers.
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.
