NBA DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Friday, November 10
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
Notorious: The two games that I am looking to get the most exposure to tonight are CHA/WAS and UTA/MEM. These project as the two fastest-paced games on the slate, and we aren’t expecting a lot of defense to be played in either game. The Hornets and Wizards are both bottom 3 in defensive rating, while the Jazz are 27th in that category. The Grizzlies are a little better but not by much.
meansy53: I am sure part of it had to do with Steve Clifford making one last-ditch effort to see if they could get back into the game—and thus, extending rotations a little bit longer—but both LaMelo Ball and PJ Washington played 36 minutes against the Wizards on Wednesday despite neither of them playing the last 4:07 of the game.
squirrelpatrol: The four worst teams in the NBA in scoring defense are on this slate. Washington, San Antonio, Charlotte, and Utah each allow at least 121.7 points per game to opponents. While the CHA/WAS matchup and UTA/MEM matchup will draw some attention, I’ll also look to get Minnesota players (the team facing San Antonio) into my lineups as well.
eys819: The Kings switched up their starting lineup in the last game as they attempt to stay afloat in the absence of De’Aaron Fox. Keon Ellis started for the struggling Davion Mitchell, but he did not fare much better. Malik Monk was the one who stepped up and played an instrumental role in their OT victory. The volatile Kings rotation makes them intriguing tournament targets in an up-tempo matchup against OKC.
Bobby Gomes: We get a rematch of the CHA/WAS, and it has the highest total (241.5) on the slate. Both the Hornets and Wizards play at a top-5 pace and struggle defensively (both are near the bottom of the league). They are also both top 9 in points per game. This game has all the ingredients of an indoor track meet.
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
