NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Wednesday, December 11

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

Notorious: Jalen Brunson
Stevietpfl: Karl-Anthony Towns
Dean78904: Karl-Anthony Towns
ncorfield8k: Jalen Brunson

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. I’m not going too far off the beaten path tonight. I will be loading up on the Knicks (the only team with a team total higher than their season average) and will be getting a lot of my value plays from the Warriors.

Stevietpfl: On this 2-game slate, I will be focusing on single-entry contests. I will be fading Houston (outside of Brooks) and will be overweight on Atlanta and New York. New York is very appealing with the minutes the starters play, and Atlanta has some potential with injuries. I think the GS/HOU game will see a lot more defense and a slower pace.

Dean78904: I will concentrate on single-entry and smaller-field type of contests. On 2-game slates, you should be more encouraged to have your lineups tell a story. The story that I expect to tell is that the ATL/NYK game is distinctly more appealing (especially from the Knicks side) than HOU/GS. Considering how tight their rotation is and the matchup, I expect to have at least two Knicks in every lineup I make.

ncorfield8k: Large-field tournaments – Despite this being just a 2-game slate, it is a great slate for late swapping, with Andrew Wiggins and Alperen Sengun officially listed as questionable in the late game. The field will be able to react to injury news for the first game, but particularly if news on Sengun and Wiggins doesn’t come until after lock, I like the idea of going overweight on some of the players who will benefit if one is ruled out.

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