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

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

Notorious: Michael Porter Jr.
Dean78904: Victor Wembanyama (FD) / Luka Doncic (DK)
ncorfield8k: Michael Porter Jr.

How do you plan to beat the field of opponents in the tournaments you will be playing? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?

Notorious: This is a tough slate to break down early in the day because we are still waiting on some key injuries. We already have a decent amount of value, and there’s a chance some truly elite value plays open up (I’m looking at you, Andre Drummond). This is a tough question to answer, but there are two spots in particular that I like more than the field. The first is Jeremiah Fears. He has seen a 4% usage boost and a 0.16 FP/minute boost with Trey Murphy III off the floor this season. The second is the Nets as a whole. Mikel Brown Jr. has been ruled out, and Nolan Traore is listed as questionable. They draw a nice matchup against the Pelicans and will likely have middling ownership.

Dean78904: We have the two best fantasy players in the league on the slate, Luka Doncic and Victor Wembanyama. They are both in incredible spots, as they face the two worst defenses in the NBA, and as things stand early in the afternoon, they don’t project to be too popular. This is due to a lack of amazing cheap value to help pay up for them. It doesn’t mean that something won’t come out of nowhere, but we aren’t really waiting on huge slate-breaking news to help make it easier to splurge. If their low pOWN% holds, I’m really going to try and find a way to get one of them in my main lineup. The way things are looking, it feels like a 2-center night on DK and possibly 4 on FD. Day’Ron Sharpe, Ivica Zubac, and Jakob Poeltl all project well, and if Karl-Anthony Towns sits, Andre Drummond would be a full-on smash. Add in the upside of Wemby and Nikola Jokic, and the center position is loaded with appealing options.

ncorfield8k: Every game starts within an hour. There may be some late-swap opportunities depending on how starting lineups and injuries shake out, but generally, we should have most information by first lock. I like to use NBA DFS sims on these types of slates rather than building for late-swap opportunities. I’ll have a lot of Pacers because they are going overlooked despite a great matchup. I’ll also have a lot of Nets in a great matchup.

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