NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Wednesday, December 4

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

Notorious: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Stevietpfl: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Dean78904: Giannis Antetokounmpo
ncorfield8k: Giannis Antetokounmpo

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 play small-field and single-entry contests. I want to get as much exposure to the ATL/MIL game as possible. These are two fast-paced teams that can’t defend the 3-point line. This game could easily turn into a shootout. I’ll let others chase the players who project well in difficult matchups.

Stevietpfl: I play single-entry contests for NBA. With multiple teams on back-to-backs, it’s going to be important to follow news until lock. I will rely heavily on LineupHQ and SimLabs tonight. I will lock in a few players I’m high on and make adjustments based on the news with our tools here at RotoGrinders.

Dean78904: My main focus will be single-entry and smaller-field tournaments. The current plan is to play one of Giannis Antetokounmpo or Damian Lillard in most, if not all, of my lineups. I presume I will run it back with at least one of Jalen Johnson, Clint Capela, or Trae Young.

ncorfield8k: Large-field tournaments – There are 6 games on this slate, and 5 of them have spreads within 5.5 points. I’ll be underweight on the DET/BOS game, the only one with a large spread. I’ll be overweight on players from both sides of the IND/BKN game, as the spread is close, and both teams are bottom-6 in defensive rating.

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