NBA DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Thursday, May 23
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
Notorious: T.J. McConnell and Obi Toppin have been great throughout the playoffs, but they have only averaged 19 minutes per game. In Game 1, we saw McConnell play 25 minutes (2 came in OT) and Toppin play 22 minutes. Both had elite per-minute production once again. If they have similar roles tonight, they should be two of the best point-per-dollar producers on the slate.
squirrelpatrol: Jayson Tatum was +20 in his time on the floor in Game 1, a game the Celtics only won by 5 points in OT.
headChopper: In Game 1, the Pacers had no problems on offense, scoring 128 points, which blew away what they averaged in the first 2 rounds of the playoffs. They scored 14 points on the fast break, similar to the Knicks series and more than the Bucks series. They shockingly scored 56 points in the paint, a higher number than both of the last 2 series. Boston really misses the Porzingis rim protection.
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?
