NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Wednesday, October 30

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

Notorious: LaMelo Ball
Dean78904: LaMelo Ball
Stevietpfl: Trae Young
ncorfield8k: LaMelo Ball

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’ll be playing small-field tournaments. Ownership tends to concentrate in these contests because many people build cash-game-style lineups and enter them into these tournaments. Players like Tyrese Maxey and Paolo Banchero should get overlooked. I’m most interested in being overweight on Maxey.

Dean78904: I don’t make a lot of lineups, and I mainly focus on single-entry / small-field contests. The current plan is to either game stack the ATL/WAS or TOR/CHA game. The game environment for both contests is spectacular, as all of these teams are dealing with meaningful injuries. Plan C would be making a full lineup exclusively filled with players from only these 2 games. I typically wouldn’t set out to do this on such a big slate, but these two games are just that tasty.

Editor’s Note: Looking for more places to play? Check out our PrizePicks promo code and Underdog Fantasy promo code, two of the best DFS apps available today.

Stevietpfl: In my single-entry contest, I will be playing a stars-and-scrubs build. There is too much value in the TOR/CHA and ATL/WAS games. I think I will have at least five players from these 2 games in my lineup. I will look to be different with my stars but will focus my value options around those 2 games.

ncorfield8k: I’ll be playing large-field tournaments and paying close attention to the news. There are some impactful questionable players tonight. Luckily, on DraftKings, all games lock within one hour, so it will be easier than usual to monitor. The Hawks are missing several players (Dyson Daniels, Vit Krejci added to the list tonight, De’Andre Hunter questionable) and have the 3rd-highest implied team total of the night, so I’ll be playing a lot of Hawks players.

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