NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Tuesday, November 26

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

Notorious: Zach LaVine
headChopper: Zach LaVine
Stevietpfl: Zach LaVine
tcsmith031: Zach LaVine

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 contests. While the CHI/WAS game has a massive total and features the two worst defensive teams in the NBA, you don’t get a full stack of the game when building with optimizers (at least not early in the day). My plan of attack is to stack this game as much as possible. The Bulls are projected to score 7.3 points more than their season average, while the Wizards are projected to score 11.8 points more than their season average.

headChopper: This slate looks great for large-field contests, even though it’s on the smaller side. Typically, with only 5 games, I avoid max-entering 150 lineups, but tonight feels different. Single entry and cash games will likely converge on a very similar lineup across the field, but in large-field tournaments, I’m going all in on CHI/WAS game stacks. The total is over 10 points higher than the next closest game and 20 points higher than 3 of the other 4 games. Game stacking here means setting a rule in LineupHQ to include at least three players from this game in every lineup.

Stevietpfl: I play one to three lineups a night, and that’s no different tonight. I enjoy these NBA Cup slates and still think teams are playing for something tonight. I’m going to be overweight on the CHI/WAS game, and I’ll be overweight on the Spurs. The Spurs need a big win to stay alive in the NBA Cup. I will be using the CHI/WAS game for value and paying up in other spots.

tcsmith031: I like this slate for large-field tournaments. No game has a point spread of more than 5 points, so here’s hoping we won’t have to deal with any blowouts. All of the hype surrounding the CHI/WAS game is warranted, but I also plan to get heavy exposure to the SAS/UTA game. Victor Wembanyama is my favorite stud to pay up for, and the game otherwise features plenty of cheaper value on both sides thanks to some injuries to guys like Jordan Clarkson and Jeremy Sochan. Even with a lower total, this game has shootout potential.

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