NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Thursday, November 21

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

Notorious: LaMelo Ball
headChopper: LaMelo Ball
Dean78904: LaMelo Ball

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?

Notorious: I prefer small-field and single-entry tournaments. My plan of attack is to be overweight on the Spurs. They are without Victor Wembanyama, Devin Vassell, and Jeremy Sochan tonight and still have a team total that is higher than their season average. That’s how favorable a matchup against the Jazz has been this season.

headChopper: Based on the nature of the slate – small and spaced out – I’ll be playing one lineup that I’ll enter into a mix of large-field contests, single-entry contests, and a couple of double-ups. Because of that mixture, I don’t mind having a chalky lineup, so I’ll ignore the projected ownership (pOWN%). I’ll build the lineup, and once it’s complete, I’ll pick the one player I don’t feel strongly about, remove him, and replace him with a low-pOWN% player.

Dean78904: My focus will be on single-entry contests. This slate is small enough where I expect to make game stacks with probably 4-5 players from the same game. My current favorite game is UTA/SAS, followed by DET/CHA. I plan on playing at least one of Zach Collins or Charles Bassey in every lineup.

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