NBA DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Thursday, May 30
DRAFTKINGS
Who are your three favorite Captains, ranked in order?
Notorious: Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns
squirrelpatrol: Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Luka Doncic
headChopper: Luka Doncic, Anthony Edwards, Kyrie Irving
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
Notorious: Dereck Lively is a game-time decision for Game 5. In his absence on Tuesday, the Mavericks went with a condensed rotation. Daniel Gafford (31 minutes) and PJ Washington (41 minutes) were the biggest beneficiaries. If Lively is out again, we can go right back to Gafford and Washington.
squirrelpatrol: Maxi Kleber returned in Game 4 and played 13 minutes but only put up 2 points on 1-of-3 shooting. He is near the minimum price on both sites, so if he can put up more normal production (he averaged 0.65 DK points per minute this season) or play more minutes in his second game back, he could be a key value piece.
headChopper: Even with scoring only 9 DK points in Game 3 and 15.3 DK points in Game 4, Jaden Hardy hit the optimal lineup in both of those games.
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?
