NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, April 20
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
tcsmith031: Despite missing Mitchell Robinson for most of the year, the Knicks are still one of the stingiest interior defensive teams in the league. New York finished 6th in points in the paint allowed per game, while they led the league in rebound rate. You can argue Joel Embiid is matchup-proof, but this is arguably the most difficult possible matchup for the reigning league MVP.
eys819: Jonathan Isaac averaged just 15.8 minutes per game during the regular season for the Magic. In the last two games of the season, he averaged 26.5 minutes per game. Perhaps this was a foreshadowing of the type of run we can expect in the playoffs? Isaac produced 1.16 FD / 1.09 DK points per minute, so he would be extremely useful at his salary if he can play mid-20s minutes.
Krayton: When looking at the projected small forward starters that are playing in today’s 4 game slate, Franz Wagner stands out as an option that could go overlooked, as he is leading all small forwards in today’s slate with 34.6 FP/G along with usage at 25% and PPG at 19.7. At just a $6,300 price tag on DK, he has potential to return great value for us.
