NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Thursday, May 2

Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?

Notorious: Josh Hart
squirrelpatrol: Myles Turner
headChopper: Josh Hart

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

Notorious: With Bojan Bogdanovic out in Game 5, the Knicks went with a 7-man rotation. The only players to see minutes off the bench were Mitchell Robinson (25) and Miles McBride (33). We can expect a similar rotation tonight, which means we should see minutes in the mid-to-high 40s for Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and OG Anunoby.

squirrelpatrol: The biggest news on the slate is the status of Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who were both upgraded to questionable today. This is an elimination game for Milwaukee, and all scenarios are on the table. But Milwaukee is still a 6-point underdog on the road, and Lillard and Giannis are likely not at full strength even if they are able to suit up.

headChopper: After that sensational regular season, Donte DiVincenzo has been relegated to an afterthought in this series. Through 5 games, he is averaging 9.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game.

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