NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Tuesday, November 10
Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?
Notorious: Franz Wagner
headChopper: Giannis Antetokounmpo
ncorfield8k: Jayson Tatum (FD) / Franz Wagner (DK)
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?
Notorious: There are two players in particular that I’m happy to be underweight on – Devin Booker and Desmond Bane. These two project well on a nightly basis, but they haven’t shown much upside this season. Booker has been held under 40 fantasy points in 5 of the last 7 games, and Bane has only scored more than 37 fantasy points one time all season. In tournaments, that’s not going to get the job done. I also want to keep roster spots open at lock to take advantage of Domantas Sabonis potentially getting ruled out.
headChopper: On a 5-game slate, the injury news in Utah is going to drive a lot of the ownership. The Jazz are without Keyonte George, Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Jusuf Nurkic, which makes Isaiah Collier one of the chalkiest plays on the board. Meanwhile, Miami’s rotation draws some of the best matchups on the slate, with Davion Mitchell, Klay Thompson, and Pelle Larsson all ranking first in the Defense vs. Archetype section in our NBA matchup tool. I’m fine being with the field in that game. Where I want to separate is with the Clippers. Phoenix ranks 4th worst in defensive rating and allows offensive rebounds at the highest rate in the league, yet the Clippers are projected to be one of the lower-owned teams on both sites. On the other side, I’m happy to be underweight on the stars on the Knicks, as New York is a 15.5-point favorite against Milwaukee and carries legitimate blowout risk. That said, I don’t mind getting exposure to some of the their role players.
ncorfield8k: While there are only 5 games on the slate, start times are spread out by 2.5 hours. There will be plenty of opportunities to late swap, so I’ll be paying close attention to injury news and starting lineups. Generally, I’ll be overweight on the Knicks starters in a great matchup, despite some blowout risk.
Who is your favorite play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
