NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Wednesday, April 15
Who is your favorite player to spend up for in cash games?
Notorious: Tyrese Maxey
ncorfield8k: Tyrese Maxey
tcsmith031: Tyrese Maxey
Who is your favorite contrarian play (when considering price, matchup, projected ownership, etc.) on the board and why?
Notorious: Stephen Curry – We currently have Curry projected for 15% ownership on DraftKings and 30% ownership on FanDuel. He played 28 minutes in his last regular season game, so there’s a good chance he won’t be on any sort of minute restriction tonight. We have him projected to play 34 minutes in our NBA DFS lineup optimizer, LineupHQ. Curry has as much playoff experience as anyone, and he’s going to dominate usage in a win-or-go-home game against the Clippers.
ncorfield8k: Andre Drummond – Drummond is a great point-per-minute fantasy producer, and he has played 29+ minutes in 2 of the last 3 games. I’m expecting Drummond to continue to beat out Adem Bona in important games, and his ceiling is enormous. The Magic have played at the 4th-fastest pace over their last 10 games, though they have ranked 7th in defensive rating.
tcsmith031: Anthony Black – The Magic have played poorly down the stretch, and I could see one of the starters getting benched tonight if Black and/or Tristan da Silva plays well off the bench. Black was a starter for much of the season, and he’s posted a usage rate of at least 25% in each of his last 4 games in a reserve role. I think Black can put up a useful fantasy score even in around 20 minutes, but he’s also a strong candidate to beat his minutes projection.
What is your hot take of the slate?
