NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings Expert Survey for Sunday, April 14
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
tcsmith031: Jalen Brunson is sporting an elite 36.2% usage rate so far this season with Julius Randle off the floor. He’s also contributing 1.36 FP/minute, and we have him projected to play 37 minutes today in a meaningful game for the Knicks.
Krayton: The New York Knicks continue to be the team where we can consistently project their minutes and rotations. Jalen Brunson has seen between 35-43 minutes in his last 9 games except for one outlier game against Boston where he was in for 30 minutes. He has also gone for over 60 DK points in 4 out of the last games, and the Knicks are still playing for playoff seeding.
TastefulTides: In a 299-minute sample size with Garland, Mitchell, and LeVert off the court Craig Porter has a 22% usage rate, a 31% assist rate, and a 10% rebound rate. Given the price, matchup, and increased role, he will be a lock button play for me.
TJ Zwarych: The New York Knicks have 3 players projected for at least 37 minutes and are still battling for seeding in the Eastern Conference. On a day that it’ll be tough to accurately project minutes for the majority of the teams, they’re the safest lock to be on the court and likely to produce.
