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

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

Notorious: Tyrese Maxey
Dean78904: Tyrese Maxey
ncorfield8k: Tyrese Maxey

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 tournaments. I’m not looking to fade the Sixers chalk. They are shorthanded, at home, and facing the Jazz. I am going to be even or overweight on Philly. My way to get unique is with the rest of the lineup. My biggest stand is going to be with Karl-Anthony Towns, who has averaged 48 fantasy points per game with Mitchell Robinson out this season.

Dean78904: I mostly focus on single-entry and smaller-field contests. In the last 15 games, the Celtics have played at the league’s slowest pace and have the best defensive efficiency. The Hornets are the 3rd slowest while having the NBA’s 7th-best defensive efficiency in their last 15 games. Outside of a possible Jaylen Brown a la carte piece, I expect to shrink an already small slate by essentially X’ing out the CHA/BOS game.

ncorfield8k: Large-field tournaments – This is a unique slate because there is strong value, but not a lot to pay up for. Given the dearth of “sure thing” spend-ups, I’ll be heavier than the field on players who don’t have the minutes upside I normally look for. While it’s unlikely that players like Keyonte George or LaMelo Ball put up 6x value scores, they are capable of putting up 5x values even in limited minutes, and that might be enough on this slate.

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